If you can’t decide how to kick off your play time in Billings, Trip Advisor is coming to your rescue! You already know about the legendary Cabela’s sports store in town, but what have other travelers rated as the best of the best? It all starts at Dehler Park, a beautiful stadium where events happen year-round, but it’s also worth a visit on its own merit. Next, go to the Yellowstone Art Museum, an award-winning museum that will knock your socks off with their exhibits.

DanWalt Gardens is a favorite for weddings, offering gorgeous grounds. At Yellowstone Cellars and Winery, you can sit back, relax and enjoy a glass of great vino with an eclectic bistro menu. The Rimrocks are a can’t-miss vantage point that showcases the beauty of Big Sky country. It’s easy to access and has fantastic photo opportunities.

Make the Most of Your Stay

It’s tempting to stay in your suite, especially since the accommodations are 20 percent larger than standard hotel rooms, but don’t miss out on everything Billings has on tap. For instance, ZooMontana is ranked the best in the state. Pictograph Cave State Park is a real stunner, with an inspiring historical walk.

Try the Alberta Bair Theater for the Performing Arts, offering holiday entertainment throughout December. Finally, the Yellowstone Valley Brewing Company is a laid back brewery where beer and all the accoutrements can’t be beat.
