Here Are 10 Awesome Things You Can Do In Montana For $10 Or Less

Loving Montana is free. Living in Montana, of course, is not... but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it to its fullest on a budget. We've got plenty of beautiful places to explore and fun things to do in the Treasure State that won't cost more than $10.

For example:

1. Explore the beautiful Pictograph State Park... or any state park for that matter.

We don't mean to brag (all right, maybe a little) but Montana has some of the best state parks in the entire country, and day use is free for Montana residents.

2. Tour the home of a king.

It costs $10 for adults to tour the Daly Mansion in Hamilton, which has a fascinating history and happens to be absolutely beautiful.

3. Go bowling.

Your town probably has a bowling alley, and most of them have some great specials. At Pick's Bowling in Bigfork, Cosmic Bowling is $3.50 a game.

4. Sink your teeth into a nice, juicy burger.

Montana's burger joints are amazing, and many of them are quite affordable. You can get a great meal for under $10 at most of them.

5. Experience a miracle.

Polson's Miracle of America Museum is an underrated gem. And best of all, it only costs $6 for adults to tour this quirky place.

6. Enjoy a beautiful art museum.... FREE.

Thanks to the generosity of its members, the Missoula Art Museum admission is always free.

7. Catch a matinee.

Movie theater prices have skyrocketed over the years, but luckily, there are plenty of places in Montana where you can enjoy a matinee (an in some towns, an evening showing) for under $10. Just smuggle in your own popcorn.

8. Walk the grounds of the beautiful Moss Mansion.

Located in Billings, the Moss Mansion costs $10 to tour, and it's well worth the price.

9. Taste award-winning wine.

At Ten Spoon Vineyard and Winery in Missoula, a flight of wine costs $10. You can also sip a full glass for $8.

10. Visit a ghost town.

Montana has some well-preserved ghost towns that are great for learning more about our local history. Bannack State Park especially is a must-see for every Montanan.
