The Main Rides at the Columbia Gardens,  Butte, Montana

 

    The Columbia Gardens was much more than just the rides there, but they definitely were the main attraction and enjoyed by kids of all ages!  Here are some pictures of them courtesy of Montana PBS, the University of Montana and Telnet Montana. These pictures were taken from the video produced by Montana PBS all about the Columbia Gardens which brings the Gardens back to life. It's a must see and is available at the Spirit of Columbia Gardens Gift Shop located in the Butte Plaza shopping mall in Butte,  Montana.  If you are out of the area and would like to purchase the video which is entitled
 "Remembering the Columbia Gardens" you can write, phone or e-mail the gift shop. All proceeds of course go towards making the new Columbia Gardens a reality!
