The atmosphere, the food, the fans, the band, all of it. If you ever get a chance to take in a University of North Dakota hockey game in this facility, it is fantastic! I have been to a few NHL arenas, but none that have the feel of the Ralph!

This treasure of a candy shop is worth a stop every time you are in Grand Forks. The cheerful interior, the selection and the free sample draw me in. I bought 4 boxes of chippers for gifts. The chocolate covered potato chips are their signature item but lots of other fun items, choc covered olives, pickles, pretzels and other “normal” candy.

Unbelievable appetizers with great service. Very good value for the money. Suggest the bone-in wings and 7-layer dip. Will not be disappointed.

Park established in rememberance of the flood of April 18, 1997.
Reviewed By ShanOC - Grand Forks, United States
This Memorial Park is a result of the flood of 1997. After the flood of ‘97, plans were drawn up and executed to build dikes and flood walls to protect Grand Forks from future flooding of the Red River. This meant removing roads and buildings which left a lot of riverside property wide open. “Let’s make it a park!” ...and so they did. This park in Downtown Grand Forks is also home to the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks Flood Memorial to show the height of the ‘97 flood, and other flood heights as well. Memorial Park is connected to an incredible walking/running/biking trail that we call the Greater Grand Forks Greenway. There are miles and miles of paved trails along both sides of the river which are connected by bridges and walkways. These trails give you awesome views of the river and the nature that calls this place home. Whether you are up for a nice walk, or a looking for a place to ride your bike without fear of vehicle traffic, or maybe you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee, the Greater Grand Forks Memorial Park and the Greenway is always a good choice.
