"The Historical City"

Bismarck Tourism

Bismarck is the most underrated city in the Northern region of the United States because it offers less sporting avenues and adventure but more of history. Still, it is a beautiful destination. Its unassuming place in the travel list, does injustice to the vast amount of experiences it provides.

A majority of tourist spots in the city are heavily reliant on culture, art and history. For those who have a lot of time, interest and rich taste in medieval and pre-historic history, the city’s museums are an absolute bliss. Major ones include State Historical Society of North Dakota, North Dakota Heritage Centre, Gateway to Science Centre and State Capitol. They are a treat to the eyes. The best part is that all these places are located just minutes away from each other. 

Downtown Bismarck has great art galleries. Most of the frequented places include Art Gallerie, Main Street and Downtown Artist Cooperative. North Dakota Heritage Centre has regional artefacts, dinosaur skeletons, prehistoric age articles, Native American crafts and few contemporary history pieces. Few museums also showcase how Europeans expanded Westwards in America.

A lot of adventure is concentrated to a few selected spots in the city where adventure-lovers are found in good numbers. The most amazing trekking trail is at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. River Cruises are available at economic rates along the banks of Missouri River. Also, the riverbank provides an amazing opportunity for long walks and different kinds of water sport. People who enjoy skiing visit Huff Hills ski area. It is a wonderful place. At a short distance is located General Sibley Park, where camping is done. 
 
People who seek some silence and alone time visit Missouri riverfront. An excellent choice and at a little distance from there, one can opt for driving dust bikes at The Dessert. 
 
Wildlife of this region is very much unique. Bismarck is blessed to have an excellent geographical location supporting huge bio-diversity. Especially the Dakota Zoo is home to many exotic breeds like the bald eagle, American bison, lemur and Bengal tiger. At a stone’s throw distance is located The Superslide Amusement Park. Children under two are admitted without any charge.
