10 Fun Activities & Games in Missoula That You Shouldn't Miss

September 25, 2021 Kelli Reichel

Peacefully tucked away in the heart of the northern Rocky Mountains, Missoula is the perfect spot for a weekend of history, culture and outdoor fun. Home to the University of Montana, one of the most architecturally distinguished academic institutions in the country, the city offers a number of intellectually stimulating attractions. Spend a few hours browsing through the exhibits at the Art Museum of Missoula or take a trip back in time at the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula. The city's close proximity to three major rivers and acres of lush forest means visitors can also enjoy a host of recreational activities, from fly fishing and kayaking to hiking and biking. Missoula's historic downtown area has classic early-century buildings and boasts unique shops, galleries, fine dining and a lively nightlife. With kids in tow, don't miss Dragon Hollow, a magical playground that features an extraordinary hand-carved carousel.

Big Sky Breakout

Big Sky Breakout is a live interactive escape room experience. You, your friends, family, or coworkers have to solve puzzles, find clues, and discover hidden mysteries in one hour. Can you beat the clock? It's an entirely unique experience for everyone to enjoy!

What a fun experience! We had heard about escape rooms before, but really didn't know what to expect. When our family arrived, we were given excellent instructions and then taken to an amazing and decked out theme room. We were pleasantly surprised by the level of sophistication in each room and had a blast figuring out the clues. Our kids, 11 and 8, were able to fully participate and we all felt that we were able to contribute equally. It was great having a few hints given to us, and we can't wait to do this again. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Dragon Hollow Play Area

This fun and festive playground is literally a kid's dream-come-true: In 2001, it was designed by and dedicated to the children of Missoula. In 2019, the play area was refurbished and expanded. The work allowed the enhancement of features for children with disabilities. Poured-in-place rubber surfacing accommodates wheelchairs, and many new play features were added for children of all abilities.
