The Children's Museum of Montana exists to ignite a lifelong passion for learning through hands-on interactive exploration of science, math and culture.

The Children's Museum of Montana is full of innovative, hands-on activities and interactive exhibits. It offers the most fun per square foot for the young and the young at heart.

Some museums ask their visitors not to touch the exhibits. 'Look with your eyes, not with your hands,' they say. That never happens at the Children's Museum of Montana. In fact, every exhibit in the entire museum is designed so that children can touch, poke, raise, lower, push and examine to their heart's content.
