What to do and see in North Dakota, United States: The Best Sports Complexes

March 1, 2022 Lashaunda Abraham

If you’ve never thought much about North Dakota, maybe it’s time you started. Boasting miles and miles of hiking trails, including the Lewis and Clark trail, in addition to multiple museums, golf courses, casinos and amusement parks, North Dakota is bursting with things to do. Situated smack between the Great Lakes and the Pacific Ocean, North Dakota was once called “America’s Most Affordable Vacation Site” by the American Automobile Association. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark are two of North Dakota’s most famous residents. Tracing the courses of the Missouri and Columbia and rivers, the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail stretches through 11 states. Thanks to their explorations, visitors to North Dakota with an interest in history can do some exploring of their own. Bismarck is not only the capital of the state, it’s also home to several Lewis and Clark historical sites including Fort Yates, where the pair stopped to trade with the Mandan Indians. For family fun in Bismarck, don’t miss the Dakota Zoo and Raging Rivers Waterpark. With more golf courses per capita than any other state (11 in Bismarck and Fargo alone), golf lovers are sure to find a course to their liking. Agri-tourism is also a popular activity in North Dakota, which ranks first in the production of spring wheat, durum wheat, sunflowers, barley, honey and other crops.

I attended the Kiss/David Lee Roth concert at the Alerus Center on February 22, 2020. This was the 1st time attending an event there (we are from Winnipeg) and I was very impressed with the venue. The entry and security entrance was very well organized and very fast. We had floor seats which were clearly marked. The sound was excellent as well as the light show and the confetti which fell from the ceiling not once but 3 times as well as the large Kiss balloons was very awesome! We will definitely be back to the Alerus Centre for other concerts!

This a place we have taken our kids when it's been cold out. There is a walking track on the second floor where you can walk, jog or run. There are courts that you can use for basketballs, volleyball and pickle ball. There are also other rooms that have community events that you can use. It's a great place to go and run off some energy.
