I absolutely loved the hands on section where my kiddos could hold unique bugs and learn about them. This place is not very big but you can spend a lot of time between all of the exhibits.

The museum - if you can call it that - is rather small. It's just one room with a handful of displays and videos, which are quite interesting. But the real excitement comes during the tour, when you actually enter the smokejumpers' work space, where you will see these highly specialized firefighters hard at work - mending their gear, packing their parachutes, etc. We had the opportunity to speak to a couple of them and get their personal perspective of the work they do. We went through their gear room, watched them load up equipment for their next mission, and walked out to the tarmac to get up close to their aircraft. I enjoyed every moment. Our tour guide and engaging, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable. There is no admission fee for the museum or the tour, but they accept donations. After this experience, I was happy to make a contribution.

The museum contains a number of artifacts from different eras in Missoula's short history. The museum grounds contain a number of different historic buildings with short plaques discussing their previous use. I do not think the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula is an important stop on your itinerary, but it is worth a stop if you are in Missoula for a couple days.

This seemed to be the area most popular with kids (you should have seen them run to that fire lookout tower!). They apparently have working sawmill demonstrations every now and again. There is also a museum with a $1-3 admission fee and several other restored buildings (cottages, carriage house, schoolhouse, church, etc). We were on a tight schedule so we didn't wander over to these areas.

If its been a while since you went out to a movie rather than watching at home or on a device, you might be surprised how good it feels to watch on a larger screen with others. Lots of ways to get involved. You can just go and pay for a single show. They have punchcards. Or you can be come a member or a supporter. Membership is cheap and you get free popcorn once a month as a nice special extra. I cannot think of a better buy local choice. Without us going, they can not keep going. Hope to see you there.

There was some sort of LOUD constant hum... we think it was the singers band, and too loud bass. The sound system was one Star When the piano singer sang with just the symphony it was incredible But that was one song. The rest of the time you couldn't even hear the symphony or the singer. Just that loud bass. I had to plug my ears We left at intermission We drove from Stevensville

The venue was absolutely stunning and it was the perfect place to see Vampire Weekend. I saw a lot of people complaining about the way the venue handled people coming in and out but we had a great experience. We took the bus (which is FREE) to the venue and got dropped off not too far from the venue. Got there about 15 minutes before doors opened and the lines were short. On the way back we took an Uber back to our Airbnb. I highly recommend PLANNING before blaming the venue.
