Local Experiences to Gift this Year
If we have learned anything from Marie Kondo, it’s that we all can probably live with a little less stuff. Which is why gifting “experiences” is such a great alternative for holidays, birthdays and more. Here are some of our favorite local experiences that take up no space and make all ages happy.
Kids (and kids at heart) will love an afternoon of playing at Dragon’s Hollow and a visit to A Carousel for Missoula. For only $10, you can get 20 tokens, which equates to more than enough rides for multiple visits to our beautiful Carousel. Plus, you can’t go wrong with golden tokens. Or ask about their annual passes! While your there, check out the wonderful gift shop. This often overlooked gem has more than just carousel swag. They have a great assortment of toys, trinkets, Montana-made products, and even jewelry!
For the music aficionado in your home, did you know you can get a gift card from Logjam Presents? Whether the recipient loves huge headliners or small alternative bands, these gift cards are good for tickets to any show at the Top Hat, The Wilma, OR The Kettlehouse Ampitheater. Gift cards can be purchased in person at the Top Hat in downtown Missoula or over the phone by calling (406) 830-4640.
For the kid in your home that has energy to burn, a visit to Flying Squirrel will make the perfect gift. This indoor trampoline park is a blast, and even just an hour of jumping is enough to satisfy even the most exuberant of us. The best deal is to purchase a 10 hour Family Pass or Toddler Pass (for 6 and under), but keep an eye on their Facebook page for occasional sales where passes are up to 50% off!
SpectrUM, our awesome hands-on science museum is so fun! For a great gift for kids, purchase a couple day passes OR they are currently having a 20% off sale for their memberships until January 20th which will get you access to additional discounts, events and more! They are also having 15% off all the items in they’re gift shop!
Now that there is finally snow, it is a great time for a day of skiing or snowboarding at one of the beautiful mountains nearby. Lift tickets or season passes to Snowbowl or even Discovery Ski Area (just outside Phillipsburg), are a gift that will keep on giving all winter long.
