Billings is the largest city in the state of Montana. Situated near Yellowstone, families will find all kinds of entertaining and interesting pursuits here. Load the whole gang in the car and drive out to Greycliff Prairie Dog Town. The kids will be treated to all of the comical blacktailed prairie dog antics they can handle. And make sure you don't miss the prehistoric paintings in Pictograph Cave State Park. Then, when you get back to town at night, take in a show at the Amusement Park Drive-In. When the sun is high in the sky, and it's time to beat the heat, head over to Big Splash Water Park and treat the kids to five acres of wet fun. Then take the whole bunch to see the outstanding natural habitats at Zoo Montana. Make sure you see the wolverine and river otters while you're there.1 Your family is going to have a great time in Billings.
