Family-Friendly Fun in Montana’s Musselshell County

Roundup may be small, but it’s full of fun surprises—especially for families traveling with kids. Here’s your go-to guide for parks, historic sites, and tasty treats that little ones will love.

Parks & Outdoor Play

Roundup City Park is a local favorite—lots of grassy space, a playground, shaded picnic spots, and room for running around or flying a kite.
Just outside of town, the Musselshell River offers easy access for families to walk, fish, or explore nature at their own pace.

Kid-Approved Drinks & Treats

The Fat Straw (744 Main St) is Roundup’s cozy boba tea spot. It’s family-run and offers bubble tea, Italian sodas (some even with fun glitter!), coffee drinks, and blended lemonades that kids adore. Highlights include the Brown Sugar Bomb Milk Tea, Orange Creamsicle Cream Soda, and other sweet favorites.

Interactive Local History

Musselshell Valley Historical Museum invites kids to touch and explore artifacts like old wagons and arrowheads. It’s hands-on, engaging, and donation-based—easy on the budget.
Look around downtown for murals and playful sculptures that celebrate local wildlife and ranch life—great for spur-of-the-moment photos.

Explore on Two Feet (or Wheels)

The downtown sidewalks are flat, safe, and ideal for short strolls or biking with kids. Enjoy window-shopping, stops at small stores, and sightseeing.
For a nature adventure, head to nearby riverfront green spaces—perfect for birdwatching, rock-hunting, or a peaceful break outdoors.

Souvenir Hunt

Main Street shops offer locally made crafts, simple toys, handmade gifts, and Montana-themed souvenirs. Letting kids pick something small helps support local businesses and gives them a keepsake to remember their trip.

Why Roundup is a Hit with Families

Roundup doesn’t have splash parks or theme rides—but it shines in quiet adventures, safe outdoor spaces, real food, and a welcoming community. Kids can run free, play hard, and discover at their own pace—while parents relax.
