The views are spectacular. We went in May and it was so green and we loved the views of the Missouri River. I also love that it's pet friendly and you can have your dog on a leash here on the trails. Highly recommend to all!

During our trip we saw farming fields, wildflowers, and wildlife! A fleeting white-tail deer, a ring-neck pheasant racing us along the tracks as we trundle along to the state park. Absolutely worth the time and price. They make two stops in the park: 1) On-A-Slant Historical Mandan Earth Lodge Village 2) Fort Abraham Lincoln They leave the station in town at 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, and 4pm. They leave the park at 1:30, 2:30, 3:30, and 4:30. (don't miss the 4:30!) Your best bet is to take the 1pm out to the park, and get off at the stop at the fort. Then head over to the commissary building and pick up your interpretive passes (100% worth it). These passes will grant you access to the living history tours at the Custer House and the On-A-Slant Village. The Custer House tours are given every half hour. The On-A-Slant Village tours begin in the interpretive center, and are given every hour on the hour.

I like the turn to enter which will definitely help to slow people down as they come in off the highway. Lots of brochures and booklets with information about North Dakota amenities and attractions. Clean restrooms. Some signs that point out the history of North Dakota Oil Exploration and Oil Marketing. Interesting stuff! Note that the sign at the entrance reads, "No overnight camping." Overnight camping is not the same as overnight parking, so yes, you can park overnight here and sleep in your car or RV. [Review 20779 overall - 135 in North Dakota - 1762 of 2023.]

It's a cute little stop and kinda cool when you realize this probably use to be a gas station.

For a smaller regional airport, Bismarck Airport is surprisingly smooth and easy to get through…read more Security was quick, the staff were friendly, and the whole place felt clean and organized. It's definitely one of those airports where you don't feel rushed or stressed the moment you walk in. The layout is simple, so finding your gate is a breeze. Seating was decent, and there are enough charging outlets to keep your phone alive while you wait. Food options are limited, but what they do have is fine for a quick bite before boarding. One thing I really appreciated was how calm the airport felt. No long lines, no chaotic crowds, just a straightforward in-and-out experience. If all airports operated like this, traveling would be a lot less stressful. Overall, BIS is small, clean, and efficient. If you're flying in or out of Bismarck, it definitely makes the travel day easier.

The mansion was constructed in 1884 and was not originally built for the governors of North Dakota, but rather as a private resident. The mansion was the North Dakota governors' residence from 1893 to 1960, which is pretty sweet! They are very open to photography, so snap away! The mansion gets decorated for different seasons and holidays, which I can't wait to come back for the holiday season! Lastly, there is a lot for children to do here, they have historic games that you can do with your children on the lawn and a scavenger hunt! It is 100% a self-guided tour, however a site supervisor is always around and is happy to answer questions! I asked her about any paranormal activity that the mansion has had and she did have a few stories for me; pretty cool, a haunting presence somewhere in the heart of Bismarck, North Dakota! I was treated so well and the site supervisor was super welcoming! There is two floors, both open to the public (every bedroom and room is open). The upstairs is not handicap accessible, because you have to climb stairs. Additionally, there is a "Carriage House" which is basically the garage that has been converted into a museum full of historical artifacts! You could spend approximately 1-2 hours here and get the feel of the whole place. The North Dakota State Historical Society clearly did a lot of research and beautiful restoration to this place. I will no doubt be back and I am so thankful that I stopped on by on a beautiful August day! I hope you enjoy the pictures I captured!
