Always have driven by and said someday we would visit. Someday came and we had a great time as we were very skeptical going in, but found it extremely interesting and thought provoking. Well worth the entry fee, the guide we had was the owner and he was great to listen to and very passionate about his place. Took my 10 year old nephew and he totally enjoyed it also......ice cream was good too. Go with some friends and you will have a fun time!
They have some neat things there. Great if have an extra hr. or so to kill in the area. Fun place for the family. Can't really explain the vortex thing myself. It was cool though. Have to find out for yourself. They also have a gift shop.
We have been here many times with the kids over the years but the last time was 8 years ago so our 14 year old son really wanted to go.Never knew they had guides but this time they did and it made it so much more cool and informative
Tour guide was very good and informative. Interesting place to see and feel! I am never sure if these things are real or not but could really feel the energy in the Vortex!
We really enjoyed our guided tour of the attraction. Lots of photo time, and welcome to stay and look at everything again after the tour. Something to stop and take a look at, makes you think a bit :)
This is our 2nd mystery spot we've visited. It was fun with a funny guided tour (Robert was great) and beautifully manicured grounds. The tour wasn't expensive, and my kids and I enjoyed it for what it was. If you're looking for something to do in the area, this is a great place to spend an hour or so. If you go in the summer, bring some water, 'cause it can get hot.
I have been visiting this attraction since I was a kid, sort of a family tradition. It's on the way to GNP and doesn't take long so it's worth a stop. See marbles roll uphill and twisted trees and swing up rather than down. It is sooo interesting and you can feel the pull no matter where you walk around in this area. It's a fun break for kids who have been stuck in the car for too long. Enjoy!
OK, I don't know how they do it and I don't care. My dad (80 years old), my kids (10 and 11 years old), and I (47 years old) all enjoyed it. There were picnic tables out front, a gift shop, clean restrooms, and mysterious places to explore. Our guide was enthusiastic and gave us plenty of time to enjoy this experience. I recommend stopping at the Vortex on your way to Glacier National Park.
This was a fun little stop...entertaining for 45 min or so. Go into it with a VERY open mind though. :) The kids (ages 6 and 2) got a kick out of the leaning building. We found it to be quite overpriced though. For what it offered, we thought it could have had a lower entrance fee for sure. We wouldn't do it again at the price we paid, but would consider it if the price tag was considerably cheaper.
While my wife and I enjoyed our visit to the Montana Vortex and House of Mystery, I found it difficult to leave my skepticism behind and enjoy the site for what it is: a series of mildly interesting optical illusions. The tour guide interspersed actual, factual scientific theories in his talk to try to lend credence to some of his vortex claims, but the experiments he performed to "prove" the effects of the vortex were hit-and-miss, and those that did appear to work relied on crowd observations and optical illusions as "proof".My favorite quote from the guide, which he used repeatedly, was "If this was a trick, it would work every time." Um, not quite. If what you are doing was a trick, then the person performing the trick could determine whether it worked or not, by adjusting the parameters. A magician always has the control over whether or not his magic works.I'd be interested in finding a Mystery House (I've also been to the one in Santa Cruz) that *isn't* on a hill with a slope of close to 10 degrees, but oddly, they don't see to exist... :)
