This park is absolutely gorgeous and tells so much of the Scandinavian heritage that helped build this country. Showing many of the historic places and things that they loved and brought with them to teach people here the true history of those countries and their ancestors that came here and worked so hard to create a new life. Most people never have the opportunity to go to their family's home country but they can gain so much about that life by visiting here. THe Museum is free but they do ask for a donation.

Oak park is my favorite place to bike or run in Minot. There are two many paths - a road open to cars and bikes with a one mile loop, and a bath restricted to foot traffic that goes a total of 1.4 miles. Lots of trees, and the foot path winds through a very secluded area. Wildlife includes plentiful geese and squirrels, and I've also seen raccoons and deer.

Seriously the best zoo in ND & MT. I’m from MT and it blows our zoo out of the water. Loves the Gibbon monkeys they are so fun to watch. The zebra and giraffes are super cool also. Really nice cages for most of the animals with a 360 view so you can always find the animals. We will be back next time we are in Minot!!
