Missoula is served by the Missoula International Airport which is about 4 miles northwest of the center of town. 

Visitors' Center — Just over the railroad track and around the corner from I-90 exit 105 is the Missoula Convention and Visitors' Bureau - always ready to fill you in with interesting stories, tips and directions about this fascinating area. Of course, Lewis and Clark are one of the main topics. Hells Gate is another. What is Hell's Gate. Ah, let them tell it. And make sure the kids can hear the story. You can phone the visitors' center (toll free) at 1-800-526-3465.
  Take exit 105, head south on Van Buren, cross the tracks and turn right on US-10. Go 1 block and turn left on Jackson. Another block and turn left again on Front. The Visitors' Center is almost mid-block on your right.
   As a 'by the way', here is a website that lists Missoula's better restaurants and includes a map:  Website: Missoula.

Missoula Carousel & Dragon Hollow — Give the kids a fun break. They can ride the carousel and/or head next door to Dragon Hollow Kids Park. Let them play for about an hour while you sit and watch (snacks available). Even a wooden bench can be welcome after a few hours behind the wheel. For more information, contact the visitors' center or phone 1-406-549-8382 or view their website: carrousel.

Smoke Jumpers Center — Watch videos showing how forest fires are tamed with smoke jumpers. This is where they're trained. After one visit many a boy — and girl — has declared, "I'm going to be a smoke jumper!". Located at 5765 West Broadway (at the airport). From I-90 take exit 99 and follow Airway Blvd to Broadway (I-90 Business); turn right and the Center is just 200 yards on the left. For more information, phone 1-406-329-4972.
