Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 0.3 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Billings instead of crossing town between them. Wise Wonders Science and Discovery Museum is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Walkers — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to families, families with kids, and friends who want a planned Billings outing without improvising between stops.
