BEST THINGS TO DO IN BILLINGS, MONTANA’S LARGEST CITY
Once upon a time, I thought Montana was just an empty state with nothing to do. Then I moved to Billings MT, for work. When I entered the state, I realized I was wrong and that the Yellowstone valley is a place of beautiful mountains, fun activities, winter and summer sports, wildlife, and more. Every time someone would come to visit me in Billings MT, I had a “Welcome to Billings MT Tour” that I took all my guests on. In this article, I want to share with you my grand Billings MT tour in the hopes that you can get a local’s insight into what makes Billings, MT, such a fantastic place full of so many fun things to do. Let’s get started on the best activities to do in the Yellowstone valley of Billings, Montana.

Billings, Montana, played an important role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-1806. The expedition passed through the area twice, once on the way to the Pacific Ocean and again on the return journey. The expedition camped at sites near present-day Billings, including Pompey’s Pillar and the confluence of the Yellowstone and Bighorn Rivers. Visitors to Billings can explore the history of the expedition at the Pompeys Pillar National Monument and the Western Heritage Center.
Captain William Clark, of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, played an important role in the history of Billings, Montana. In 1806, Clark and his party camped near present-day Billings on their return journey from the Pacific Ocean. Clark named a nearby sandstone formation “Pompey’s Tower,” now known as Pompeys Pillar, after Sacagawea’s son. Visitors can explore the site and learn about the expedition’s history at the Pompeys Pillar National Monument, located east of Billings.
Getting to Billings MT
If you do not live in Billings, Montana, you will be traveling by airplane or the car unless you have invented teleportation and can jump right into downtown Billings, Montana (Please share your teleportation machine with me!).
Flying into BIL – Billings Logan International Airport
BIL is the Billings Airport. It has several gates, and the security line feels like just a few steps. This airport is never busy. Usually, the rule for travel is for domestic flights to arrive two hours before your boarding time. For BIL, my husband swears you only need 30 minutes to get through security and to your gate. I always got there one hour early and had 30 minutes or more waiting for my boarding. This small airport has a small cafe to buy snacks and drinks while you wait.
This airport, however, has quite the view. Located on what Billings, Montana, locals call “The Rim.” This is a beautiful cliffside that overlooks Billings, Montana, and beyond. The airport sits right at the top and just outside downtown Billings Montana. I will discuss this must-see activity in Billings, Montana, later.
2. Flying into BZN – Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport
Billings, Montana, is a two-hour drive from beautiful Bozeman, Montana. Sometimes my guests would find cheaper tickets to Bozeman, Montana, rather than Billings, Montana, airport, and I would pick them up in Bozeman. This airport looks like a winter lodge and is a tiny, easy-to-navigate airport. This is an excellent alternative to BIL if you plan to have a rental car or a local friend driving you around, as the tickets can be cheaper as BZN is a bigger airport than BIL.
Should I go to Bozeman or Billings?
It seems Billings is the most comfortable town to settle down in, but Bozeman is a more “single and ready to mix” town.
Driving into Billings Montana
I-90 is the main Highway that takes you right to Billings, Montana. This Highway has an 80 MPH speed limit. You will have fun legally zooming down the empty Highway to your destination of Billings, Montana. There are other options for getting to billings from Wyoming, like us-310 or US-212. Both roads offer beautiful views as you enter the Billings, Montana, valley.
If you are driving in the summer, I recommend the US-212 from Wyoming route coming over the Beartooth mountain pass. There are no words to describe the beauty of this mountain pass and no comments to explain how wild the switchbacks are. I am talking about 15 MPH speed limits, but you will go slower to stay on the road. Stop at the top to soak in the quiet mountainside. This is also a great place to see a bear in its natural habitat.
ONE DAY ITINERARY: THE BEST THINGS TO DO IN BILLINGS MONTANA
Breakfast and a Hike with a View of the Rim:
The first thing you will want to do on your Ultimate Billings Montana day trip stops somewhere for some yummy breakfast and a Hike with a view of the city. Billings has the usual fast-food options like Panera, Mcdonald’s, Starbucks ETC. Here are some of the more local places I recommend for breakfast:
· Great American Bagel: This place makes its own yummy bagels. You can get Coffee, sandwiches, smoothies, and more. I like this for a quick breakfast option, but they have seats if you want to sit down to enjoy your food. I recommend getting your food to go and drive up the road to the Rim Hike or Turn out that I talk about later
· Sophie’s Kitchen: This is my favorite place in Billings to eat. They have the most delicious French toast. Their menu is not just primary flavors. Every menu item is handcrafted and worth the trip to their restaurant. Their waiters are also all so nice! They always seem so interested in me and are very attentive. Take a seat and enjoy the best breakfast meal of your life.
Hike option:
After your meal, you want to drive up to Zimmerman Trail and park in this parking lot. You should download Alltrailsbefore you start your hike at Zimmerman Park because this hike has so many options, and all the trails cross each other if you ever get lost or are wondering how much further you have, alltrails will track your progress on a map for your reference.
Zimmerman Park is my favorite hike because there are endless options for your hike, but that also means you can get a little lost. Many options are available to you, but you can just take a short walk to get a great view of the city. Just a few hundred feet down from the parking lot to the cliff edge of the rim, you can take a seat and see an aerial view of Billings, Montana. Also, you can take a hike ranging from a short walk to several miles. Just pick a path and get lost. You cannot get lost, as all the trails will lead you back to the parking lot. You also can use Alltrails to see where you are and where you need to go.
Parking option:
If you have young kids, are strapped for time, or are not interested in a hike, you can also drive up to the Rim Lookout that stretches along the rim. There are several pullouts miles long where you can pull up and park and look over the edge of Billings, Montana. There is an excellent view of Downtown Billings, Montana. My husband and I love driving up here and enjoying a meal in our car.
Swords Park is a 19-acre park located in the heart of Billings, Montana. The park is named after Billings’ first mayor, Preston B. Swords. It offers stunning panoramic views of the city and the Yellowstone Valley, with several hiking trails that wind through sandstone cliffs and rock formations. Swords Rimrock Park also features a playground, picnic area, and a dog park.
You cannot go to Billings without taking a hike. Billings has a unique landscape with the north and south rims surrounding the banana belt city of Billings. The Rims plus the distant mountains make for a beautiful view. Billings has so many other hikes to enjoy, so if you have more time, you can check those out for more of the Billings landscape.
2. Scheels & lunch, the Disney Land of Billings, Montana
We love Scheels. When we lived in Billings, we loved to drive over to Scheels and just explore. Scheels is a high-end outdoor and sporting goods store. It sounds like a tiresome shopping trip, but it is much more than that. It has a cafe with a fudge bar, a massive aquarium with colorful fish, and an indoor Ferris wheel! You do not have to buy anything to enjoy this enormous store. It is a staple on my Billings, Montana tour, and I highly recommend visiting. Scheels is also in a strip mall parking lot, so there are other restaurants and shopping nearby. For lunch, I recommend:
Pita Mill: We love this place because it has hamburgers, fries, and some yummy pita wraps. It is an excellent place for people with different taste buds because they have something for everyone.
Rio Sabinas: Great Mexican restaurant is also the only Mexican restaurant in Billings. I love their Flautas and green salsa.
3. Afternoon Activity Roulette
After breakfast, a morning hike, browsing at Scheels, and lunch, your time in billings is ending. You only have a few hours of fun stuff left, so pick one of the activities below that sounds the most exciting.
ZooMontana: The best (and basically only) zoo in Montana. This zoo has some fantastic animals and is small enough to see everything in an hour or so but also big enough to spend all afternoon here. They have a fun petting zoo for kids and many incredible animals like tigers, a red panda, bears, giant birds, and so much more.
Yellowstone River Front Park: When I was pregnant and trying to induce labor, I went here every day for two weeks. You can just park and sit on the grass and feed the ducks and geese. You can take the 2-mile circle loop walk around the pond (stroller friendly). Or you can do what we love to do, take the circle loop and take one of the many trail branches that will lead you to the bank of the Yellowstone River. You can jump right in, stick your feet in, plop your fishing rod in, or just sit and take in the view of the great Yellowstone river. Bring a water tube and float down the river if you are feeling adventurous on a hot day.
Yellowstone Rive at Riverfront Park Billings Montana
Lake Elmo State Park: If you are here on a summer’s day, you should cool off at Lake Elmo. You can take your fishing gear or water sports equipment and enjoy water fun. If you want to rent water sports supplies, there are several locations in Billings where you can do that. Or you can splurge and buy some fancy toys on your trip to Scheels.
First Interstate Arena: Sometimes, some extraordinary events and famous people come to perform in Billings, Montana. Plan your trip around a fabulous show, or see if one aligns with your journey.
Dinner and Dessert:
Finish off your day with some yummy dinner and dessert. Billings has many popular chain restaurants like Five Guys, Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, etc. They also have some yummy local restaurants and breweries.
Jakes: Our go-to steakhouse in Billings. Open bar seating but on a busy Friday evening, call ahead for a table. The bar and restaurant have different menus, so if you can get a table, I recommend that because the bar menu is less extensive or yummy. They do have a delicious southwestern burger that I love to get or some yummy fish tacos. They have 2 locations in Billings, one on the west end and one downtown.
Diamond X Brewing Co: Yummy food with large portions. You can expect a wait time if you are here on the weekend. The restaurant is vast and very popular. No reservation is required. This place has such a fantastic atmosphere and décor.
Yellowstone Cellars & Winery: is a popular winery located in Billings, Montana. Yellowstone Cellars produce a variety of handcrafted wines using grapes grown in Montana and Washington. Visitors to Yellowstone Cellars can enjoy tastings, tours, and events in their spacious tasting room, which features a rustic ambiance with a fireplace and outdoor patio. Yellowstone Cellars also offers a wine club membership, private events, and a selection of gourmet foods and gifts.
Crumble: This is a national chain restaurant, but I know the owners of the Billings, MT, location. My husband and I love this place. They have new flavors every week, and these cookies are massive and glamorous. We love to get one of each flavor, cut them into 4 pieces, and share with family and friends, or save them for snacks throughout the week.
Places to stay:
Once you get into Billings, you will need a base camp. When I visit somewhere, I like to choose accommodations near the activities I will be doing. So, what am I interested in doing in Billings, Montana? Billings is divided into 3 sections: West End, Downtown, and the Heights. For example, if you are visiting family in the heights, I would not get your hotel in the west end. The downtown area is in the middle of the west end and the heights. I prefer the west end as that is where the newer side of billings is.
Billings is a big city, so they have all the name-brand hotels like Marriott, Holiday Inn, La Quinta, and Super 8. Billings also has a hotel called Big Horn Resort with a reef indoor water park attached. The reef indoor water park is not included in your stay, but when my family visits me in Billings, they always stay here, and going to the reef indoor water park is super fun.
I am a Marriott Bonvoy member, and I always love the consistency and quality of Marriott hotels, so I recommend one of the Marriott hotels in Billings, Montana, for your stay.
