Bozeman, an amazing community with many attractions and a wonderful atmosphere. Wether you love to fish, hike, kayak, ski, golf, or go sight seeing, Bozeman offers it all.

If you’re visiting Bozeman, here are some great attractions and activities you MUST SEE AND DO:

Visiting Bozeman in the Summer/Fall

Museums
Museum of the Rockies & Taylor Planetarium: Open year-round except for major holidays, you and your kids will have a great time learning all about dinosaurs and discovering what life used to be like on a Living History Farm. Then check out a night sky tour or laser light show (the Halloween show is great!) in the Taylor Planetarium. Kids will also love the interactive exhibits at the Children’s Museum of Bozeman. Adults and older teens will enjoy the educational displays, old photos, and other records of Bozeman and Montana history at the Pioneer Museum.

Music On Main
This weekly outdoor concert series held July through August features a variety of great bands rocking out right on Main Street. Good times!

Gallatin County Fair
Head to the Fairgrounds in July and taste the winning blueberry pie and see blue-ribbon animal stock at this social extravaganza. Otherwise, you can also check out the Rodeo, and Bozeman Bucks American Legion Baseball team here and practice at the Bozeman Rifle and Pistol Club Indoor Shooting Range.

Bogart Park
This 6-acre park features a weekly Farmer’s Market in the summer, maintains a popular swimming pool and tennis courts, and often hosts Shakespeare in The Park. Pack a picnic and don’t forget your Frisbee! When weather permits, Bogart facilities transform into an outdoor ice-skating and hockey rink!

Sweet Pea Festival of the Arts
Don’t miss this outdoor festival, held in conjunction with the Taste of Bozeman, held yearly in early August. It’s a fantastic hodgepodge of art & cultural activities and cuisine for the whole family. Never eaten a ‘tater pig? This is where you can get one.

Shakespeare In The Park
A rotation of plays keeps this entertaining, educational theater troupe fresh and fun for the whole family.

Outdoor Activities
You can camp, fly fish and raft on the nearby Gallatin, Madison, and Yellowstone Rivers. For biking and hiking, you can stay right in Bozeman, and check out the pet-friendly, recently renovated Peet’s Hill (across from Bogart Park on Church Street). Another great hiking trail is the mile and a half to the big “M” on Baldy Mountain. Pack a picnic, take the kids, and enjoy a spectacular view of Bozeman. You can hike and bike and even learn to scuba dive in the reservoir at Hyalite Canyon like I did, just a few miles North of Bozeman.

Cat-Griz Games
Bozeman is home to the Cats at Montana State University-Bozeman. So whenever the Grizzlies (Montana State University-Missoula) come to town, it’s a classic rivalry you don’t want to miss.

Visiting Bozeman in the Winter/Spring

Christmas Stroll
Some adults refer to this event as the Christmas Stumble, ahem, but it’s an annual fun event for the whole family held outdoors on Main Street in December featuring a Kid’s Parade, arts & crafts for the kids, live entertainment, local cuisine and beverages sold by local non-profit organizations, shopping, and storytelling. Watch out for flying snowballs!

Emerson Center for Arts & Culture
Various events are held here year-round, including Bozeman Film Festival activities, Winter Farmer’s Market and popular holiday bazaar.

Nutcracker Ballet
You’re never too young or old to enjoy this annual performance in December by Montana Ballet Company, featuring the Bozeman Symphony.

Sports
Ski and shred on the local hill, Bridger Bowl, or take on nearby Big Sky Ski Resort. You can also snowmobile, ice climb, as well as snowshoe, & cross-country ski at nearby Bohart or Lone Mountain Nordic Ranch.

Wild West Winter Fest
Head back to the Fairgrounds in February for some good Montana fun including a chili cook-off, a dog keg pull, quilt show, and a 4-H Cattle Show.
