I attended the Magic City Discovery Center this past weekend. In one word, MAGICAL. This grandma went alone and spent three hours and could've spent more time. It's truly a WOW experience not just for the kiddies, but for adults as well. Plan on spending some truly memorable time there! read more

History
Established in 1886.
The city of Minot, North Dakota was founded in 1886 where the Great Northern Railway's construction crew set up their winter camp. As if by magic, a tent town formed practically overnight and grew to a population of 5,000 in the next five months - giving us our best-known nickname "The Magic City".
