Wizards Unite! CMOM In Great Falls Needs You Now!

When it comes to bringing the fun in the Electric City for our youth, one place in particular that always stands out to me is the Children's Museum of Montana right here in Great Falls.

Did you know that CMOM is the largest and the oldest museum for kids in the state? They offer a variety of programs both during the school year and over the summer to help our kids continue to have a love of learning.

New Programs, And New After School Activities for 2024 Are Coming

With the mission of "inspiring a passion for lifelong learning" the museum has been in operation over 25 years and has become a "beacon of creativity and knowledge in Great Falls and beyond". The CMOM in 2024 has new features such as Kim's Craft Cove, which will allow children to create many different items, anything they can dream up!

Montana's Museum Of The Rockies Is For Everyone! Check It Out

Museum of the Rockies is nestled right next to Bobcat Stadium in Bozeman. The Museum is part of the American Alliance of Museums, which means that the Museum of the Rockies is one of the 1,095 museums to hold this distinction. With over 33,000 museums nationwide, this is quite an accomplishment.

The Museum of the Rockies is also part of the Montana Dinosaur Trail. What is that? It is a trail that runs through the state of Montana and has 14 locations. Each location will get you just a little closer to the history and knowledge of Dinosaurs.

Museum of the Rockies has current and rotating exhibits. Currently, (December 2021) here are some of my favorites that are on display: Siebel Dinosaur Complex, Welcome to Yellowstone Country, which digs into the history of Montana, Enduring Peoples Exhibit, highlighting the American Indians of Montana, and the Paugh Exhibit, illuminating the stories that connect us with the Northern Colorado Rockies. You can see all the exhibits here to make planning your trip easier.

Museum of the Rockies is an independent 501 Non-Profit here in Bozeman. With that being said, they hold some of the most exquisite benefits throughout the year. This gives the museum the opportunity to continue to be a highlight for the city of Bozeman. Another way to continue the success of the Museum of the Rockies is to become a member.

If you are considering donating to the Museum of the Rockies, you can check it out here and decide which program works best for you. Help Bozeman keep this amazing learning tool open and available to everyone. Enjoy your time at the Museum of the Rockies.
