A QUICK TOUR OF THE AREA
Billings sits on the banks of the Yellowstone
River between Yellowstone National Park and
Little Bighorn Battlefield (Custer’s Last
Stand) National Monument. Billings is the
largest city in a 500-mile radius and is a hub
for transportation, accommodations, and other
services. Logan International Airport (five
minutes from downtown) offers 37 daily
passenger flights. Enjoy our selection of 3,500
sleeping rooms and over one-third of a million
square feet of meeting and exhibit space. The
Billings CVB offers planners exceptional
service including site visit assistance,
promotional materials and videos, spouse tour
itinerary suggestions, VIP welcomes, on-site
registration and concierge service, and
attendance building programs.

ATTRACTIONS
Nearly 200 years ago, the Lewis & Clark
Expedition left its mark on our area with the
only physical remaining evidence of the
journey: Clark carved his name on the sandstone
outcropping he named Pompeys Pillar. Visit this
national monument or other Billings attractions
such as the Moss Mansion, Yellowstone Art
Museum, Yellowstone County Museum, Western
Heritage Center, or Pictograph Cave State Park.
Billings is also home to Montana’s only
zoo, the Alberta Bair Theater for Performing
Arts, and the Billings Symphony. You’ll
find Montana Fair, the state’s largest
event, at MetraPark -- site of a 12,000-seat
arena, fairgrounds, and exhibition halls.
