Montana is a state full of outdoor adventurers, and that's part of the reason the nationwide chain Scheels does so well here. With locations in Billings, Missoula, and Great Falls, this sporting goods store is THE place to go for hunting and fishing gear, camping equipment, clothing, and more.
But if you can only visit one Scheels location, hit the road and head for Billings. The especially massive Billings Scheels has 220,000 square feet of retail space with a whole lot of surprises mixed in.
You'll find the Billings Scheels at 1121 Shiloh Crossing Blvd.
Don't plan on being in and out of this store in a short amount of time. You'll want to stay and explore.
All it takes is one visit to realize this is not your average sporting goods store.
In fact, the first thing most people notice is the giant Ferris wheel in the center.
For just $1, you and your family can ride the 65-foot Ferris wheel to get a bird's eye view of everything that's happening.
The wheel is fantastic, but it's just the beginning. From the video games to the on-site coffee shop and fudge shop, this place will awaken all of your senses.
Everyone talks about the Ferris wheel, but the on-site bowling alley is equally as impressive.
If you have children, this will quickly become their favorite place to shop.
Speaking of shopping, you'll find everything you need here, and probably a few things you didn't know you needed.
The shop is stocked with clothing and accessories for men, women, and children who love the great outdoors. You can also purchase home decor, accessories for your grill, and even outdoor furniture.
Have we mentioned the giant 16,000-gallon aquarium full of exotic fish?
Like everything else here, it's a must-see.
Stop by Scheels the next time you're in Billings and see what the hype is about.
If you weren't "outdoorsy" before, you probably will be after you see this place.
