Lace Up Those Skates  
 
Burr!  When it's chilly in Helena, we head to Memorial Park to take advantage of Helena's Warming House and Ice Rink.  

What could be more nostalgic than sipping some hot cocoa under the stars and skating in the shadows of Mount Helena?  Even the prices at Memorial Park are nostalgic.  The cost to use the Warming House is a dollar and skates are available to use for free.  

Be sure to check ice conditions and hours.  Check out the Ice Rink's Facebook page.  
Build, Explore Science,
Spin Round and
Eat Ice Cream!
   

Helena offers your family the perfect way to explore and have fun INdoors during the cool winter months.  Located right next to each other in the Great Northern Town Center are Explorations Works - Montana's Science Center and the Great Northern Carousel and Ice Cream Company.  

Exploration Works exhibits are interactive and fun for the entire family.  And, a spin around the carousel will bring a smile to everyone's face.
