What to do and see in North Dakota, United States: The Best Water & Amusement Parks
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.

We had a great time at Thunder Road. We did the go carts several times and the mini golf. The weather was perfect since most of the activities that we did was outside. We did do the laser tag but my grandsons had more fun with the activity activities.

Lots to do for all ages! The lazy river is relaxing and fun to float around. My husband and grandson enjoyed the giant slides, and the little ones loved the kiddy pool with all the activities they have there. Well worth the price! The food is reasonably priced and tasty.

We brought our 3 year old daughter here for a few hours of fun after just getting to town. She was able to ride almost everything. It’s about 2 tickets a ride and you can get 25 tickets for $20. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Our daughter was able to go slow or fast on the swings, front or backwards by asking. (No other kids were on them when doing this). Totally work a few hours of laughs.
