All age children's museum housed in the Missoula Public Library, spectrUM entertained our kids for hours! Don't miss this free family adventure!
Super fun place for kiddos of all ages!
This is the absolute coolest feature in any library ever. My kids love it and it keeps them engaged! My only complaint is that I never remember to bring extra clothes because they always get soaked by the water feature.
My boys really had a great time and loved all the different activities!! Can't wait to bring my older children here to play in the robotics area...looks like fun too!!
