The website takes travelers' reviews and then puts them together based on the number and quality of the reviews.  Having said that, while you might not necessarily agree with every place on the list, here's the Top 10 according to the review on Trip Advisor.

10. Lake McDonald

It might come as a bit of a surprise that this very popular attraction is ranked 10th, the lake which sees hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The lake, which is located inside of Glacier National Park is just one of the many treasures that the Park offers.

9. Gates of Montana

This popular destination which is located on the Missouri River is just north of Helena and comes in 9th on the list. They offer boat trips which include a history lesson of the area and it's something the tourist seem to enjoy.

8. Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center

If you've ever traveled across the midwest and western part of the country, you've no doubt seen all of the Lewis and Clark Historical Markers. Located in Giant Springs Heritage State Park is the Lews and Clark Interpretive Center which is filled with cool history about the westward expansion.

7. Grinnell Glacier

Grinnell Glacier is simply stunning. From the beautiful mountains that surround it to the incredible color of the water. Located in Glacier National Park, the Glacier is not only a site to see, but a science lesson all in one and comes in 7th on the Trip Advisor Top 10.

6. Beartooth Highway

Considered by many to be the most scenic road in America, the Beartooth is a legendary highway that is only open for a short period each year.  However, if you have the chance to travel the road, it's certainly something you should put on your bucket list.

5. Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument

This historic Battlefield has certainly seen a lot of blood spilled as Custard made his last stand against the Plain Indians.  There are different options available, from guided tours to touring the area at your own pace.

4. Museum of the Rockies

Located in Bozeman, the Museum of the Rockies is a must-see.  From rotating exhibits to one of the largest dinosaur bone collections in the nation, the Museum is a popular summer destination.  Plus, during the summer months, you have a chance to visit the outdoor exhibit which shows what life was like in the early days of Montana.

3. Playmill Theatre

Located in West Yellowstone, the Playmill Theatre is the perfect spot to take the family. The Theatre offers multiple shows and is great for those in the area that are visiting Yellowstone National Park.

2. Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center

Also located in West Yellowstone, the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center offers visitors a chance to see some of Montana's native creatures up close and personal in a safe manner. (No petting the furry cows here) It's a great stop for family or individuals that you will be sure to remember.

1. Going-To-The-Sun Road

Located in Glacier National Park this world-famous road is not for the faint of heart, especially if you have a fear of heights, over the views from the road are some of the most spectacular in the world. The road is only open for a few months, and for those who might not be up to driving, there are bus tours available.

Of course, there are several more spots to see and explore here in Big Sky Country, and when you do, you will soon realize why it's called "The Last Best Place."
