Ralph Engelstad Arena

Reviewed By matthewmX8701PV - Kearney, United States

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!

Widman's Candy Shop

Reviewed By KB-Coloradoan - Castle Rock, United States

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.

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!
