Crown of the Continent Discovery Center

A must see when visiting northwestern Montana is the Crown of the Continent Discovery Center. Located just a mile and a half from the west entrance of Glacier National Park, the Discovery Center's interactive displays will engage your imagination as you see how our geologic history formed the stunning beauty that surrounds us. You'll learn about the animals that live in the Crown of the Continent region and view their habitats. Children always enjoy the hands-on experience of our Petting Zoo. Come in and enjoy a hot latte, a pint of locally crafted beer or a shot of Montana-made whiskey at our Coffee and Spirits Bar. Enjoy our delicious Montana-made ice cream at Bubba Luke's Ice Cream Parlor. Enjoy an authentic Mexican lunch or dinner at La Casita Restaurant. Spend time at our Gift Shop where we feature the largest selection of made in Montana products in the state. We also have a wide array of top of the line outdoor gear for all of your recreation needs. Want to explore the great Montana wilderness with a guide? The Discovery Center is also the main office for Swan Mountain Outfitters. From Whitewater Rafting to Hiking, Horseback Riding, Llama Trekking, Fly Fishing, Hunting and Snowmobiling, we can make it happen for you. At the Crown of the Continent Discovery Center, we are proud to have a little something for everyone!
