After spending several winters on the ski hill at Whitefish MT,and taking in as many attractions offered, I found this unbelievable project. I saw an ad for Jesus Christ Superstar in the local paper. Not knowing anything about this project, I did some research & discovered that the performers are professionals who work on Broadway, etc but actually live here. And the theatre is state of the art with great seating & sound. I was absolutely thrilled with this performance. I had seen this production back in the 70’s & have seen about 15 top shows in NYC, London, Toronto, Edmonton & Vancouver over the years and this one was right up there with the best. Of course Mike Eldred, Eric Krop & Amelia Cormack were superb, but every last one of the performers were excellent. The musicians were top notch and the digital enhancements really gave me goose bumps! Even the volunteer who showed me to my seat came back at intermission to see if I was enjoying the show! The lady I was lucky to sit beside, was a long time Whitefish resident who personally knew the players, was a wealth of information & very friendly. The whole experience was awesome. Thank you Whitefish! Thank you Alpine Theatre people!

We stopped in the art gallery during a walk around the area when we arrived in Whitefish. The gorgeous flowers outside the gallery stopped me so I could take some photos. We wanted to see what was inside. There are lots of amazing pieces of art -- wood carvings, paintings, multi-media pieces and more! Much of it is large and western-centric; many items are expensive (competitively priced for what you're purchasing). The back room holds more moderately priced pieces that are easy to pack in your luggage to bring home.

Great place for some unique cocktails. The salt and pepper martini is amazing! Service was great. A good little spot to have a couple of drinks. Make a reservation as seating is limited.

I grew up in Missoula and When I visit I always seem to want to go visit the Museum. From stories about Ghostly things seen on the grounds to just Montana History itself. Can't get enough of the place and theirs a lot to see if your a history buff.

A Carousel for Missoula

THE CAROUSEL IS CURRENTLY CLOSED TO HELP STOP THE SPREAD OF COVID19. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING, AND PLEASE STAY SAFE. This beautiful carousel, completed in 1995, was the brainchild and vision of a local Missoula cabinet-maker, who carved much of the structure himself and also trained an enthusiastic team of volunteers to assist in the project.

Want to feel like a child again??? Get on this beautifully restored carousel!!!! But be warned, this is not a ride for the faint of heart. One of the fastest carousels in the world, it spins at a heart racing 8mph!!! (Yes, they provide seat belts) Be sure to grab for the brass ring as you spin around... it's one of the only carousels in the world that still let's you win a prize!!!

Oh my gosh, this is the best historic home. Our tour guide Ginny did the best job of educating us on the history of the home and the interesting lives of the Conrad family. This is a must do!
