Great Falls is a great place to have kids and grow up in. The school systems here are top-notch and provide many opportunities for kids of all ages. They have amazing support for kids with disabilities in the school system as well as those that just need a little extra help. All teachers go the extra mile to make sure that every child is getting what they need. Most neighborhoods are friendly and allow you to feel safe with your kid playing outside. Just a short drive away you can get to the river, mountains or lakes. Lots of options for those who love the great out doors!
Great Falls is a home to around 60,000 residents. The Missouri River runs right through here which offers some recreation and there are many outdoor activities offered. One downfall though is the lack of many shops, restaurants and indoor activity facilities. There is not much choice for older children and many of the activities offered to younger children are remarkably expensive. The downtown area is nice with some nice places, but for many it is unsafe. It can be very fear inducing to walk down there alone. Overall Great Falls could have potential, but instead of moving forward it is moving backwards with more and more places being closed.
I moved here four years ago, I enjoy the outdoors so I absolutely love it here. The parks here are so gorgeous! The people really care about one another here. My neighbors always offer to help me with whatever I need. People here are just wonderful and know so much history about the area. Its very children friendly if you have children. The children museum is wonderful, they have several community pools , they also have 5ks you can participate in , and so much more. The fair comes to town many people work it and they have many famous country music artist visit like Old Dominion, Josh Turner, and many more. I enjoy restaurants here as many are run by locals. The locally owned restaurants are very pleasant to eat at. Downtown is so much fun. They have many shops that are locally owned business, a paint place that you can drink wine at if you want, they have pet shops, they have farmers market you can go to on Saturdays . Great Falls is a beautiful place to be and live.
