Top 7 Things to do Adventurous in Missoula, Montana (MT)

July 30, 2021 Jacquiline Delozier

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.

We offer whitewater rafting trips on the Alberton Gorge, Lochsa and Blackfoot Rivers, Town floats on the Clark Fork River, Multi-day Wilderness River trips on the Salmon River, Historical Canoe trips on the Missouri river and hiking trips on the Lolo Trail.

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!

Reviewed By DayTrip219693

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!

Thirst Gear Brew Bike

The Zoo is all about their human powered wheels and local microbreweries. Why not combine the best of both? Thirst Gear is a 15 passenger bike-like contraption originally designed in the Netherlands (though ours was custom built in Bend, Oregon). The goal is to gather some friends and maybe a few friendly strangers, and hop on board for a music filled tour of the sud sippin' streets of Missoula!
