Read more about this location

Splash Montana is Missoula's biggest warm-weather water-play destination and works best for families who want more than a basic splash pad. The complex combines a zero-depth entry area, spray features and a kiddie Grizzly slide with bigger attractions including three waterslides, a lazy river float-way, and an Olympic-sized pool. It is a stronger pick for half-day or full-day summer outings than for quick neighborhood splash stops, and it has on-site food plus reservable cabanas and birthday options. Children under 7 must be accompanied in the water by an adult.
