Romance in Missoula

If you missed out on Valentine’s Day this year, don’t feel bad because A.) you’re not the only one and B.) you’re about to get a second chance.

A Carousel for Missoula is celebrating romance this month and would love for you to join them. They have declared February as the month of love, so you have more than just one day this year to show your true love how special he or she is.

“A Carousel for Missoula” was once declared by “Cosmopolitan” magazine to be one of the most romantic places in the U.S. That’s not suprising since you can kiss your sweetheart, while riding a hand-carved pony, next to the beautiful Clark Fork River. If you and your sweetie want to feel like kids again, you can venture in to Dragon Hollow and slip down the dark slide together.

Guys if you really want to make that engagement special, confess your undying love and ask your sweetie pie to marry you at the carousel. Not only will it be unique and unforgettable, but you will also receive season passes to A Carousel for Missoula, so you can relive that magic moment for the rest of the year.

The Carousel is open from 11a.m. to 5:30p.m. daily in Caras Park in downtown Missoula.
