Bozeman, Montana, is a great place for families with a wide range of activities that kids of all ages will love. Whether your little ones are full of energy, curious about dinosaurs, or just looking for a quiet place to play, Bozeman has something for everyone. From creative play spaces and interactive museums to outdoor adventures and nature trails, there is plenty of family-friendly fun to be had in Bozeman. Let’s dive into the best things to do with kids in Bozeman.

State of Play

State of Play is a beautiful play space here in Bozeman that is designed for kids ages 0-9. There is an amazing art room, a geometric play fort, sensory bins, a play kitchen, reading nooks, and more. They have a few open play sessions every day that usually begin with a class like kids yoga, world language, cooking class or tiny ballet and are then followed by an hour of open play. They also have an after-school art class for kids 3-7, and a “date night” every other Friday where you can drop your kids off for dinner and playtime while you get a few hours to sneak away. You can drop in for $30/class or look into their unlimited family membership for $150/month.

Jump Time

If your kids need to burn off a little energy, look no further than Jump Time. This indoor trampoline park and entertainment center is great for all ages, depending on when you go! They have a toddler zone, trampoline grids, a ninja course, a slackline, a rock wall, basketball, and more. They are open till 8 pm on weekdays and 10 pm on weekends and it can get a little crazy outside of school hours. For little kids, the best time to go is earlier in the day.

Museum of the Rockies

Even if your kids are not museum-going age, we promise they will love the Museum of the Rockies. While bigger kids will love the impressive dinosaur exhibit and planetarium at the Museum of the Rockies, there is plenty for babies and toddlers as well. The Explore Yellowstone room is designed for kids from 0-8 and is so much fun! The kids can climb a fire tower, fish, set up a camp, read books, or play in the Old Faithful Inn kitchen and there is even a dedicated baby play area with mats and toys. They also have some wonderful weekly kids classes including Little Learners, Sensational Babies, and Preschool Pioneers.

Nature Walk

One of the best things to do with kids in Bozeman is to get outside! No matter the skill, or walking level there are plenty of options for you and the kids to get out and enjoy nature. The Sourdough Creek Trail is our favorite walking trail with kids, it’s easy to get to, has spots where you can stop and play by the creek and there is no steepness to it so it’s easy for everyone!
