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, Montana Cultural Trust and The Greater Montana Foundation. 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!

Kids enjoying a ride on the Carousel
Butterfly time for sure riding the big Roller Coaster at the Columbia Gardens - look at that big dip!
These are kids enjoying the unique cowboy swings at the Columbia Gardens saved out of the fire and moved and seen today at Clark's
Park in Butte, Montana, named after William Clark - founder of the Columbia Gardens. You bet, they got up there quite a ways!
Entrance to the Carousel
Now that was a thrill, those bi-planes circled around the carousel and really gave
people the sensation of flying. What a way to cool off on a hot summer day!
