Valentine’s Day falls on a Tuesday this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go out for an evening of romance!  If you are tired of the same old ideas…. dinner and a movie, stuffed animals and candy….. think outside the box of chocolates this year!  Treat your someone special to what they really deserve…a relaxing night in!  Our Valentine’s Night package will include a bottle of wine, chocolate dipped strawberries, a single long stemmed rose, bubble bath, and massage lotion.  Don’t forget that we also have room service and in-room movie rentals!  Tuck in for a cozy, peaceful night with someone special.  Suites book up quickly, so don’t wait.  Give us a call at 406-541-8000 and ask about our Valentine’s Night package.

Raining in January? All the more reason to grab your ice skates and see what moves you can master!

Now that I’m a grown-up, I have very fond memories of ice skating as a child, both at our local ice dome, and on the pond on our family farm…in rural Montana. Missoula has some great substitute options for me, allowing me to give those same memories to my kids!

Check out Missoula’s Glacier Ice Rink. They have year round ice skating, both indoors and outdoors. Don’t have your own skates? No worries they have ones you can rent! For those of you with your own skates, you should  check out the Frenchtown Pond. Ice skating in the middle of the wilderness covered with snow – FUN! Or head to Darby and show off your moves at the Darby Ice Skating Rink, located behind the People’s Market. Remember to bring your skates!

Have fun making your own memories this winter!

It’s that time of year when we Montanans long for white beaches, sunshine, and all things tropical.  Sounds like maybe time to book a trip to Hawaii.  Or, save some cash and stay a little closer to home.  Every Friday and Saturday night in January the Wingate will have Tropical Nights.  Join us for some fun in the waterpark, complimentary island style appetizers, and authentic Polynesian song and dance in the lobby at 7pm.   A great getaway without going away!

Ringing in the New Year at the Wingate is perfect for the whole family.  With extended waterpark hours and complimentary appetizers and drinks, we invite you and yours to join us as the ball drops on the television in the lobby.  Your whole family can welcome 2012 together, and you don’t have to worry about driving home after midnight!  We’ll even extend your checkout so you can start 2012 by sleeping in before you grab a great breakfast at our buffet.  Give us a call at 406-541-8000 to book your celebration!

You know what they say…..a gift certificate is always the right size.  When you give someone you love a certificate from the Wingate, you are literally giving them some fun!  Give it to your wife for a well-deserved night away from the kids.  Pick one up for some newlyweds or a friend celebrating an anniversary and let them indulge in some romance in the jacuzzi suite.  Make a grandkids day by giving them (and 19 of their friends) 3 hours of watersliding joy in the waterpark.  Anyone can find a great reason to use a gift certificate from the Wingate.  Give us a call at 406-541-8000 and let us help stuff your stockings!
