What to do and see in Fargo, North Dakota (ND): The Best Free Things to do
For a weekend of fun and relaxation, you don't have far to go. North Dakota's largest city gained a certain measure of modern fame with its 1996 movie namesake. But Fargo is more than a city of friendly folks and flat accents. Local museums will please art lovers, children and baseball enthusiasts. After a family visit to the Red River Zoo, parents can unwind at local area lounges, many of which offer casino gaming. In Fargo's sister city of Moorhead, Minnesota, The Heritage Hjemkomst Interpretive Center has replicas of a Viking ship and a Norwegian Stave church. Back in Fargo, Bonanzaville USA gives modern visitors a taste of pioneer life.

One of the last great malls left. It's has tall ceilings, bright lights, and not only well kept, but very nice. Food court is decent but Crave is awesome. Selection of stores is definitely the best in region, not even close. Plenty of stuff to do with kids, including an arcade, play land, giant fountain, art studio, fish tanks, and movie theaters behind the mall. Baseball fans may like the Roger Maris wing, even has an original Yankee Stadium seat

Our Visitors Center, the "Grain Elevator", located at exit 348 of Interstate 94 has bushels of information, maps, brochures as well as a gift shop. It is open year round so stop in and talk to our Visitor Center Travel Ambassadors. We provide free wifi, popcorn, and coffee for visitors...And the bathrooms are spick-and-span! The Fargo-Moorhead Visitors Center is also home to the woodchipper from the movie 'FARGO.' Stop by and have your photo taken with the infamous woodchipper! We provide the (fake) leg and bomber hats to complete the photo op. Be sure to see the Celebrity Walk of Fame outside our visitors center with star signatures and hand & foot prints in cement.

What a fun way to end my journey to all 50 states! I have no idea how they know that this would be my last, but at 11 am, I was already the 4th person that day to complete this milestone. What a hoot! I got the tee-shirt and took many pictures of my friend with the infamous woodchipper from the movie. Pippa was very friendly and helpful. I suggest anyone passing through Fargo stop by the visitor's center for local hospitality as well as good recommendations for other local sites.

Drekker Brewing is a brewery and taproom located in one of Fargo's oldest buildings - a restored railroad shop built in 1883, before North Dakota was a part of the United States. Drekker Brewing Company specializes in unique and adventurous small batch beers but has something on tap for everyone.

Great place for a beer and socializing a little away from the crowd downtown. Went for a work get together and reserved the upper platform for our group. It provided an excellent view of the whole building and the service was timely and friendly. The interior looks fantastic with refinished beams, beautiful windows and a cool poured concrete bar top. They have a good selection of beers as well as sours and I'm told there is usually a food truck outside (there was one when we were there, but we had pizza delivered by Rhombus Guys instead). Definitely worth a stop - for both the beer and the great atmosphere! If this review and pictures were helpful, please click on 'Like' to improve my profile.
