Missoula might not be the largest city in Montana, but we sure have the most to do when it comes to activities for kids. Even on the road to and from Missoula, there are numerous places to stop along the way for the wee ones. 

We teamed up with our friends over at www.makeitmissoula.com to offer a wide variety of ways to keep the young, and young at heart thoroughly entertained while traveling to Missoula or staying in town. Feel free to add more to the list below!

1)  So, the beginning of this list has to be … the carousel.  Complete with the Dragon’s Hollow park next door.

2)  Going to the M.

3)  The Saturday Market is always cool, but I’m not sure how wowed kids would be by that. Except for sugary treats I suppose.

4)  Lolo Hot Springs (I know this particular batch of kids enjoys swimming pools).

5)  Spectrum Science Center at the University.

6)  ”My Clay Studio”  (this friend is a potter, so this could be a fun thing just for me and not for all the rest of you.  I believe etiquette requires me to say: “neener, neener”).

8)  Splash Montana.

9)  Missoula Children’s Museum.
