Billings, Montana, is home to the Reef Indoor Water Park. Slightly larger than a football field, it is the largest indoor water park in Montana. There is another water park in Billings as well, Big Splash, but it is an outdoor park. If you are traveling with kids, you will not want to miss a trip to the water park. Staying at a hotel in close proximity to the water park will simplify your trip, especially if you don't have a car.
The Wingate is the motel that adjoins the Reef and is the first choice of accommodations for those traveling to Billings primarily to visit the Reef. This is a moderately priced motel that offers a wide selection of services for a variety of travelers. A trip to the Reef is made much more enjoyable with the luxury of your room being only a short walk away. Even in winter, kids can play in the water all day without having to ever go outside, since the motel is connected to the park. Passes to the water park can be purchased at the front desk. The Wingate also offers spa services, a fitness center, and a free breakfast buffet.
