Kid Friendly In Montana
We are. Montana is for the kid in all of us. Some are just lucky enough to get started on their Montana adventures sooner than others. Kids and Montana's Big Sky Country naturally go together. The state's wide open spaces, outdoor adventures and hands-on experiences are just what youngsters need to put their bundles of energy to fun use.
To help kids understand what Montana offers, Travel Montana's
Publications Program has put together a brochure called "Kid Friendly
Montana." This colorful, cartoon- bordered piece provides basic facts
about Montana---its geography, economy, state symbols, etc.---along
with color photos and text on Montana's numerous family-oriented
attractions.
So what makes Montana such a special place for young people to visit?
The possibilities are endless. Here's a short list of popular
kid-tested diversions:
1. Mountain wildlife at Glacier National Park,
2. Active dinosaur dig sites open to the public,
3. Horses to ride across Montana's landscape,
4. Indian powwows where tribal members celebrate the old ways,
5. Crystal clear rivers, lakes, and streams offering water
adventures. The Whitehall area offers fabulous fishing…so many
rivers and lakes, so little time.
6. Winter snows creating mountain playgrounds with x-country skiing and
sleigh riding outside our door
7. Since The Fish Creek House is but 20 miles from Butte, Butte also
has something few other cities can claim – a rich and incredible
history. Visiting Butte, even today, one can literally step back into
time. Butte is also one of only two cities to be recognized as a
National Historic Landmark – with more than 4000 historic buildings of
one kind or another. Butte is literally teeming full of historic
buildings – and makes other “restored” historic towns seem rather lame
in comparison. And if all the historical buildings and “ghost signs”
aren’t enough, there is always the every present old mining rigs (over
40 of them dot the sky in Butte) to help remind visitors what built
Butte into the town that it is today.
A trip to Montana wouldnt be complete without visiting Yellowstone and
Glacier National Parks. Enroute to Yellowstone,from Glacier, stop off
and visit the Fish Creek House B&B, both kid and pet friendly
Sound like the same things that attract adults to Montana?
Montana's annual calendar is full of festivals, events, and
celebrations. For additional information regarding camping and
