This place was absolutely wonderful. We got there early so we checked out the cute little shop and even an interactive map of the glacier mountains. We then went out to hear the rules and safety information and shortly we were all assigned a horse (based on our weight and height). The wranglers there were super helpful and kind and helped us all onto our horses. We did the 2 hour trail ride and our trail guide stopped often to tell us interesting things about the land, horses, and even stopped to pick berries for us. We got to try thimble berries and huckleberries. Everyone there treated us very well. $140 for 2 hours is a total deal for what is provided.

It was my first visit to Whitefish, and it did not disappoint! The ski area is much larger than I expected. The snow was great for April! We were there for the pond skim, which was a ton of fun. I'm very focused on service and my standards are high. Whitefish did not disappoint! Every staff member and even the guests are friendly and helpful. You feel welcomed from the moment you arrive.

Perfect spot to stop at after a day at the park!! The staff was extraordinarily friendly and there are so many options for the tastings (I was so surprised). There is something for everyone! The cocktails and mocktails were great too and everything was very reasonably priced.

The special events at Conrad Mansion Museum are excellent!! We really enjoyed the "Ghost Tours" and meeting Dracula, the soft and friendly black cat. A recommendation would be for the group tour hosts to spotlight the "story actors" in the rooms with a small penlight. That way, we can see the outfits or costumes they are wearing and gives them an eerie appearance - especially the main foyer host, female telling the artist story in the bedroom and the guy in the kitchen. The screams heard throughout the house from the encounters with the "closet creature" really added to the experience. I enjoyed the story of the roofless Halloween Party that started at midnight. The whole experience was really well done and definitely worth the drive. Continued success!!

In full disclosure before I review, my daughter is a cast member. We travelled to see her perform in all four shows. My husband and I kept saying to each other after every show "...no one is going to believe us back home when we tell them how absolutely professional and amazing these shows are". Our family has seen a good bit of theatre over the last 5 years (and paid much more for tickets) and are so incredibly impressed with the quality of the Bigfork Summer Playhouse shows that we just saw. The choreography was top-notch! Vocals absolutely stellar! Transitions were seamless. The live musicians were excellent. Also, I am not sure when/if I have ever seen better acting! Drowsy Chaperone was hysterical...the whole audience was laughing most of the time. Joseph was a delight on many levels. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was simply beautiful. Mama Mia was so great that we were still singing the songs in the car on the way home. I will most certainly follow the careers of many of these actors to watch for their inevitable successes professionally!

This is one of the most beautiful places in the world. We wish we could have spend more time here. All of the people living in this area are lovely as well.

Montana River Guides hosts a great class to learn how to read the water, analyze risk and guide safe rafting adventures. Sam and Everette were very patient instructors that are highly skilled. I enjoyed the experience and highly recommend their courses to anyone seeking new learnings of white water rafting or just in need of a refresher!

I love carousels. This one is well maintained and generates smiles for young, old, and young at heart! Each pony has a history, and there is a lot of history about the making of the carousel on site as well. There is a lovely little gift shop where I was able to purchase an ornament of the pony rode. It is also located next to the riverwalk, so you can take a stroll or a swim. If you're in Missoula, you should visit this place.

A place you should definitely visit when you are nearby! Garnet is one of Montana's most intact ghost towns. It symbolizes an important era in Montana's hard rock mining history. Substantial effort has gone into stabilizing and protecting the remaining historic structures. We had a nice time exploring the old buildings.

We visited the mine location over the weekend and had the full day VIP area booking. We had such a great time. The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable, always available to answer questions and help wash our gravel. We have a special needs child and it was easy and comfortable for her to enjoy the day with us at the mine. Looking forward to our next visit!

Highly Recommend! Very interesting and educational. So much history! We only had time to tour the prison and auto museum but if you have 2 days, you can enjoy 3 other museums with your admission ticket. Very enjoyable experience and such friendly staff. Over 200 beautiful cars organized well by decades. Nicest car museum I have ever toured. I am not passionate about cars, but I really enjoyed it!

This is a neat museum to see. Be there before 2pm to catch the last tours underground. There is plenty to see on the 20 something acres above though. Good place to kill a couple of hours strolling around and exploring unguided too. It's at the back of the Montana tech school so keep on going if you think you're lost. Check it out, lots of neat stuff to see.

Photos were taken Friday, September 27, 2024. Admission was only $5/ person during our trip. This is one of the most beautiful (and toxic) bodies of water, that doesn't seem real unless you see it in person with your own two eyes! There are some signs in the viewing area as well.

Amazing waterfall. Even more amazing in winter. Accessible only by ski/snowshoe or snow machine. Closest winter access is Bear Gulch, otherwise park at Osborn Bridge and ride in from there.

What a fascinating place! I did the self-guided tour. There is so much to learn about the development of nuclear power at this first site of its development in the 1950s. It was a great visit. It's just less than a hour from Idaho Falls, so go if you are in the city!

This is a great little break from a road trip. I love bears and seeing them this close was really fun. Highly recommend going and seeing the gift shop alongside the baby bears. They are super cute as well. We also had huckleberry ice cream that was really really good. But I’m excited to come back and see more bears!

We were passing through Idaho Falls. We decided to take a detour and check out the falls. This place was beautiful. If I had the time, I would have loved to walk the 5-mile trail. While this is not a natural waterfall, it was still amazing to see. We even saw that you could take a boat tour if you wanted to.

Excellent museum for the size of Idaho Falls. Covers natural history back to the dinosaur ages and the geology. Covers people history from the Native Americans through the founding of Idaho into a few decades ago. Has a darkened street on the first level with about 8 businesses from over 100 years ago making you feel like you’re back in time. Including the rotating exhibit - took us over 2 hours. Has several interactive areas for kids ranging from shoot the mammoth to a play area as if you’d lived 100 years ago.

We stopped here on our Idaho road trip and it was one of our favorite stops! We didn’t make it there until 30 minutes before closing time and the front desk staff were still super friendly and encouraged us to visit. The cafe was still open and happily served us a huge baked potato that was delicious. The museum itself is informative, fun, and funny. We had lots of laughs, even as adults without children along. Highly recommend.

This is one of my grand kids favorite places to visit. I have 3 grands under 10 in Montana and they really enjoy the kids area and the game area on the bottom floor. My 6 year old grandaughter who I will be bringing to Southern California at the end of June made a list of places she wants to go. The top 2 are the Museum of Clean and Popeye's fried chicken. Disney was not even mentioned.

Lava Hot Springs Foundation – A Sacred Balance Between Healing, Fun, and Flow Lava Hot Springs isn’t just a place — it’s an energy. And the Lava Hot Springs Foundation? They’ve done a phenomenal job of protecting, preserving, and sharing that energy with the world in a way that feels both rooted and progressive. From the moment you step into the mineral-rich pools — naturally odorless and constantly refreshed by the earth itself — you can feel the shift. It’s like the land remembers how to heal you before you even ask. The Foundation operates with no taxpayer funding — it’s entirely sustained by those who choose to soak, swim, or splash. That matters. It shows a commitment to balance: ecological, economic, and communal. You get the sense they’re not just running a business; they’re tending a fire. They’ve created something that honors the natural gifts of the land without over-commercializing them — and that’s rare these days. The facilities are incredibly well-maintained. You’ve got the classic hot pools (always clean and not too crowded if you go at the right times), but also a full-blown aquatic complex with waterslides, an Olympic pool, kiddie sections, and green park areas that invite families, elders, and solo travelers alike. It’s one of those places where everyone can find their rhythm — whether you’re there to soak in silence or cannonball into laughter. And the upgrades? Thoughtful. Strategic. They’re not just building for tourism; they’re building for legacy. Long-term projects like improved parking, enhanced accessibility, and even discussions about geothermal sustainability show that this isn’t a quick-turn operation. It’s a generational offering — for Idaho and for anyone seeking deeper connection with water, heat, and land. I respect how transparent they are too. Board meetings are open. Plans are published. It’s not hidden behind some bureaucracy. That kind of openness builds trust — and it’s exactly the kind of foundation that deserves ongoing community support. If you’ve never been, go. And if you’ve been before, go again — but this time, slow down. Let the waters speak. Let the steam remind you that healing isn’t always dramatic — sometimes it’s as simple as soaking, breathing, and remembering who you are.

Even with the winter, the lake is absolutely stunning. Worth driving past, especially after a big snow. The mountain drive into the area is beyond gorgeous. I would recommend anyone take the drive and do it at sunrise with clouds in the sky. You will not be disappointed.

Way off the beaten path, but worth the drive. The rangers are great to talk with and knowledgable. The museum is very small, but it offers some good info about the railroad. Only one of the engines was out when we were there. The other one was having some work done. It was great to look at the one that was out. We spent about 2 hours here. Our youngest got her Junior Ranger Badge.

USU is amazing. Their campus is beautiful and it's the home of the AGGIES!

It is a peaceful and beautiful place to visit — perfect for bird lovers and anyone who enjoys nature. The variety of birds you can spot here is incredible. We saw pelicans, herons, ducks, and so many others, all in their natural wetland habitat. The auto tour route is an easy and relaxing drive with stunning views throughout. It’s a great spot for photography, a quiet getaway, and a family outing. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and want to experience a unique part of Utah’s natural beauty.

It was so fun!!! I hadn’t been there in years and the rest of my family had never been there. Loved the exhibits! So crazy to be that close to those incredible machines. Loved talking to the volunteers. They are better than reading at each spot. It was just awesome to be there!! Everything about it was fantastic!

Really nice mountain! Great terrain, easy Parking. Challenging terrain at whatever your level of challenge is... You'll find it here. Take a ride on the Olympic tram, and if you get tentative, you can ride the tram down, no pressure to make the run on snow :)

Antelope Island is one of my favorite places to go in Utah. It is peaceful, quiet, and fun to explore. The beach areas are full of interesting rock formations. The natural beauty of Antelope Island is stunning, especially at sunset.

Always enjoyable. They are often adding new rides and Changing things for the better We go at least once a year. They have a nice variety. From really extreme rides for adults and teens to easy yet very fun rides for even tiny toddlers and everything in between. They've got something for every age and size!
