Pro
Billings is the best of both worlds. It is the most populas, but only a few minutes from the middle of no where.
Con
One way streets, factory smog and smell, nasty tasting water
In a nutshell
Very scenic areas. Big sky country (right on)
ndockter Says: This FREE summer kiddie rodeo is on Saturday, August 13, 2011 at 11am. The best part is the fact that it is free and keeps kids entertained by doing events such as Stick Horse Barrel Racing, Pony Rides, Dummy Roping, and the best yet--PRIZES!

Dymphna1 Says: There is a tour company in Billings called Montana Fun Adventures. They do local tours and seasonal tours. Then there are a few that stretch out over longer distances to area events and places. I took their Ghost Tour and had a good time on it. It was $21 and was about 1...

Jake's: A Popular Downtown Restaurant
KimberlyAnn Says: Warning!! I was going to delete this review, but as the title states, this is a popular downtown restaurant. When we moved to Wyoming 26 years ago, this was the Billings Restaurant recommended to us by locals. We seem to have nothing but problems when we go there. Often it...
Walkers Grill: A Restaurant with an Executive Chef
KimberlyAnn Says: Walkers Grill has been in Billings since 1993, and is a favorite with locals as well as visitors. With its executive chef, a full bar, and a varied menu which usually includes pastas, fish, fowl, pork, beef, and buffalo, most people will find a meal that fits their tastes....
Lemon Grass Thai Restaurant: Nice atmosphere
Dymphna1 Says: I know nothing about Thai food, so if this is authentic or not could not tell you. But the food was good and I did not have to take a drink of water with every bite, as has happened to me with so many different Asian foods. It was actually a comfortable temperature. This...
Taste of the west: Muzloader Cafe
Dymphna1 Says: This place is a throw back in time. It is the menu that would be on at any local home ranch house. Basic but good. And the price is right. You can get a good meal, with large portions for a reasonable price here. With the bar attached on the other side you can get a beer...
Alberta Bair Theater: Live Theater
Dymphna1 Says: Surprisingly we get some really good theater for being so back woods. We have had everything from Pork and Bess opera to the Ed Asner to many different comedians. Parking is free in the garages at night. There is one on 2nd Ave in the 2700 block, so you can cut across the...
Alberta Bair Theater: A Night At the Theater

Helpfulness
There are several major ways to get to Billings by car. Two interstates connect here, I-90 & I 94. Then coming in from the north there is Highway 87.
We do now have a speed limit. It is strictly enforced at night.
You need to watch for deer at night! Look for the glare of the lights off their eyes.

Buffalo Chips: Local tourist must shop
Dymphna1 Says: They have great gift things as well as knickknacks to take home. Then there is the jewelry - this is a great outlet for Montana Agates which can only be found in this area. They can tell you by the color of the stone almost exactly where it was found. Anywhere from $25 up
Rim Rock Mall: Billings Largest Shopping Mall
KimberlyAnn Says: Open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 9:00, and Sundays from 12:00 to 6:00, Rim Rock Mall has more than 100 shops, including four department stores, 85 specialty shops, movie theatres, and restaurants. Some of the stores you will find within this indoor mall are...
Helpfulness
A few restaurants and bars in Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Idaho, and Kansas serve Rocky Mountain Oyster as a starter or appetizer. Be aware that these are not oysters, in fact they aren’t even related to an oyster. Rocky Mountain Oysters, sometimes known as Prairie Oysters, are considered by many people to be a true western delicacy. But what are they really? They are that part of male calves that are cut off when they are castrated during branding. This is done so that the cow will grow meatier, and behave less masculine. The part I am talking about is his testicles. That’s right, his testicles are cut off and thrown in a bucket of water. They are then peeled, washed, and cooked up for your pleasure. Like other meats, testicles can be cooked in a variety of ways, however generally those served in restaurants are deep-fried whole. Calf testicles are about the size of a walnut, and will come to your table hot and crispy (although somewhat chewy when eaten), often served with a spicy sauce to dip them in. In the old days of the west, during roundups cowboys and ranch hands just tossed the testicles on a hot iron stove and cooked them until done. I have heard that Rocky Mountain Oysters can also be made from the testicles of other animals, but the ones I have seen on menus in Wyoming and Montana have always been beef. Well, some people will eat anything, so if you want to try something traditional, Rocky Mountain Oysters are just the item for you. But remember, these are not oysters, just plain old testicles.

If you don't like the weather now, wait 5 minutes
Dymphna1 Says: The weather here can change in a heart beat. We know how to read the sky - it is the only reasonable way to see what is coming. It is not uncommon in the fall and spring to have the heater on in the morning and evening and the AC during the day. The temps have wide spans....
The History of Custer’s Last Stand
KimberlyAnn Says: The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is about 65 miles from Billing’s Logan International Airport. This monument preserves the history of Custer’s Last Stand, one of the last battles against the Plains Indians, who wished to preserve their ancestral way of life....
Dymphna1 Says: 4 miles south of Billings are pictograph caves. These are early drawings. There are actually 3 different caves. There are two you can get close to and the 3rd requires binoculars. The first cave is where the pictures really are. The second you can't see much of without...
Dymphna1 Says: Billings has a pretty good hockey team - it is the Bulls. We often place towards the top of the league here. Never saw that side of my sister until I saw her at a hockey game - oh my!We also have arena foot ball with the Outlaws. That is actually fun to watch.Then for...

Dymphna1 Says: We have two hospitals in Billings. St. Vincents and Billings Clinic. I prefer St. Vincents to Billings Clinic. They are priced better and the doctors often catch thing in the ER that are missed at Billings Clinic. It is located off of N 27th street, just below the rims....
