Montana Tourist AttractionsGuide to roadside oddities and other weird, strange and unusual travel attractions in Montana.
Montana tourist attractions include the chance to sift through a pile of dirt for a Montana sapphire. Have a Butte Pasty for lunch. Take an underground tour. Or take a tour in an old restored National Park bus. Snowmobile in to your unusual lodgings. That's just a few Montana tourist attractions. It's a BIG state!
And hey! Don’t forget to say hello to the larger than life penguin in Cut Bank.
What's a pasty? Is it "WEIRD FOOD"? Well, it's different, anyway. A pasty is what the Cornish and Welsh miners in Montana used to take in their lunch buckets. It's a kind of miner's sandwich with a meat filling in a sort of pie form. There, did that explain what a pasty is?
Far and wide, people say Joe's Pasty Shop has the best Butte Pasties in town. They're at 1631 Grand Ave. Butte, MT. Phone: (406) 723-9071
Between Columbia Falls and Hungry Horse lies the Montana Mystery Spot. It is, well, it is mysterious. Not only do you appear to shrink or grow, orbs of unknown origin show up in your pictures. A haunted mystery spot???? There's a Montana tourist attraction for you! As an added treat, you can walk a labyrinth that’s built right smack dab in the middle of their largest vortex. The Montana Vortex and House of Mystery is open from April 1 to Oct 1. Directions: 7800 Highway 2 East, between Columbia Falls and Hungry Horse, MT, 13 miles west of Glacier National Park. Phone: (406) 892-1210
Or so says the World's Largest talking penguin, provided he's talking that day. Sometimes this Montana tourist attraciton is mute.
He's 27 feet tall and stands out in front of the Glacier Gateway Inn. Cut Bank is 45 minutes from Glacier National Park.

For a different kind of a tour through the park, try their restored 1937 red tour buses.
Ghost towns are so cool. They're lots of fun to explore. A winter trip to Garnet takes it one step further.

There are two cabins you can rent for an overnight stay. Here's the info to reserve a cabin for your very own unusual lodgings in a ghost town.
Take a trip beneath the streets of Havre, where an opium den and a bordello flourished. Where bakers baked bread and a laundry washed the soiled clothing of the Havre citizens. Down where the cowboys drank and gambled, down to a century-old underground mall... The ticket office for a Havre Beneath the Streets tour is on 3rd Avenue, south of Norman's Ranch Wear which is at 114 3rd Ave. Phone: (406) 265-8888
