It takes a while for summer to hit its stride here in Montana, but once it does, it's incredible. Unfortunately, it's also fleeting, so make sure you're getting outside and enjoying it as much as possible. If you live anywhere near Missoula, your summer should include a trip to Splash Montana.
Splash Montana is located at Playfair Park in Missoula.
Playfair Park is a local gem, known for their local youth sporting events.
The water park is open June through August, and it's full of fun activities for people of all ages.
And needless to say, it feels nice and refreshing on a warm summer day.
The park has three exhilarating three-story waterslides, a kiddie grizzly slide, and spray features for the little swimmers.
Other little kid-friendly amenities include floating play structures, a log walk, a floating otter, and a water snake.
If relaxation is your goal, just take a nice float down the lazy river.
Just grab a tube and enjoy!
The onsite Olympic-sized pool with 50-meter and 25-yard lap lanes is perfect for getting some exercise.
Splash Montana also offers regular swimming lessons, water aerobics, and other events.
If all this sliding and swimming works up an appetite, the Crazy Creek Café or Fireline Grill will have you covered.
The Fireline Grill tacos, burgers, chicken, burritos, quesadillas, and more. Most ingredients are local, and everything is tasty. The water park doesn't allow outside food or beverages (aside from water), so bring your wallet and prepare for a poolside feast.
Splash Montana is open daily at 11:30 a.m. (11 a.m. on weekends).
It closes at 7:30 p.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m. on weekends. But if you need more adventure in your life, you can always spend some time enjoying all the recreational fun at Playfair Park.
Address: 3001 Bancroft Street, Missoula, MT, 59801
You've still got plenty of time this summer to enjoy a day at Splash Montana. And if you can't make it to Missoula, try another water park on this list.
