With A Trout Aquarium And Famous Huckleberry Shakes, The Coolest Gas Station In The U.S. Is Right Here In Montana

I love a good road trip. And if you've ever road-tripped across Montana — and we certainly hope you have — you already know that the Treasure State is full of hidden gems you can only experience through a road trip. From our unique pit stops like the 50,000 Silver Dollar Bar to our quirky roadside attractions, there's nothing like a statewide road trip to remind you that it's all about the journey, not the destination. If your travels happen to take you down I-90 near the Idaho border, make sure to stop at the St. Regis Travel Center ... but only if you feel like checking out some live trout while sipping on the best milkshake of your life. (By the way, we are sure that delicious milkshake will have you asking, "When are huckleberries in season?" in no time!). The St. Regis gas station is so much more than just a gas station. Let's dig in!

The St. Regis Travel Center is located on Mullan Gulch Road just off of I-90's Exit 33 in the small town of Saint Regis, Montana.

Take some time to browse through the expansive gift shop — trust us.

In case you can't tell from the St. Regis Travel Center photos, this gift shop has everything you need and new things you never knew you needed!

It isn't uncommon to find a casino at a Montana service station...

... but Cutthroat Henry's Casino is an especially enticing little entertainment center. Why not try to win back the gas money you're spending while in Saint Regis, Montana?

Of course, the biggest attraction here is the free live trout aquarium, which is fun for all ages.

The St. Regis Travel Center is one Montana attraction you really can't miss for this reason.

This is no ordinary aquarium.

It happens to have a cylinder you can crawl through to get a 360-degree view of those beautiful Montana trout.

Hungry? Huck's Grill has a tasty breakfast in the morning and hand-pattied burgers (and other delicious options) served all day.

But no matter what time you visit, you really shouldn't leave without ordering a famous huckleberry milkshake for the road. They are indescribable as I'm sure you can tell from this St. Regis Travel Center photo.

If you're short on time, you can always find healthy grab-and-go snacks.

And don't miss the section that's full of Montana-made food items, like huckleberry jam and local honey.

The St. Regis Travel Center is open 24 hours a day, although not everything will be available at all hours.

This place is a traveler's dream come true. and definitely one of the most amazing Montana gas stations!

Learn more about the St. Regis Travel Center from its official website. You can also check out the Facebook page for the St. Regis gas station.
