About a 30 minute drive, but worth it. Fantastic brew pub atmosphere and food. Our boys think it's a bonus that there's a small creek just outside the outdoor dining area -- they love to explore and we love having some conversation while they are occupied.

There's adventure to be had year-round at Whitefish Mountain Resort! The locals still call it "Big Mountain", it's original name, but this resort has all the modern day amenities. The summer adventure parks are nearly as great as the Montana winter powder.

This is a Waterpark for the big kids! Four slides from the Bonzai to the 70-foot Geronimo rattle the nerves of even the most fearless speed demons; or bump along the River Ride, warm up in a gigantic hot tub or grab some sun by the jumbo children’s activity pool. The 18-hole miniature golf course will challenge even grandpa. Horseshoe pits, barbecue grills, an arcade and carousel add up to an all-day fun fest.
