Our Story

Built to provide the community of Missoula a new option for good, old-fashioned fun, the Carousel continues to entertain the children (and the adults) in our area with rides on the beautifully crafted horses as well as with family friendly events. Whether we’re helping children celebrate their special day or seeing families come together for a little playtime, we’re happy to be part of what makes Missoula so special!

THE CAROUSEL IS OPEN DAILY YEAR ROUND! (with the exception of our annual shutdown period in January for pony and machine restoration).

SUMMER HOURS: 11:00 AM-7:00 PM (We may close early if hosting a private event – call to confirm)

Fall hours begin on September 7th: 11:00 am – 5:30 pm

*Between September and May we operate with a very small staff – we must have advance notice if you are planning to bring a large group in order to arrange for adequate staffing to allow us to safely and efficiently accommodate you.

*A Carousel For Missoula Foundation is in no way affiliated with either Celsave.com or Kavalos.com. We are not receiving funds from purchases made through either of these websites and we advise you to notify your credit card company or financial institution immediately of their practices

Please note that the Play All Day Pass program was discontinued with the closure of the Missoula Children’s Museum
