North Dakota Heritage Center Still Offering FREE Kids Summer Fun

A treasure for kids of all ages, ND Heritage Center is wrapping up summer with Dinosaurs and Rockets!

A stellar treasure for the entire state of North Dakota is located right here in Bismarck.  You've probably heard of the North Dakota Heritage Center..but you've never been there. Even though it's free?

It's the state's oldest museum that now features four huge galleries that dive into the history of the great state of North Dakota. It's prehistoric. It's pioneer life on the plains. It's mankind's journey to space, and mankind's struggles to survive and thrive in North Dakota's often challenging "space".

But still you're sitting at home thinking..."meh."

So what kind of spin can I put on this to change your mind?

It's free and it's air-conditioned!

The kids are driving you crazy...so why not take a short trip to Bismarck for a fun little excursion?  Don't expect to spend your whole day there (although you could).  Just stop by and you can say you've done it!  I bet ya come back!

If you have toddlers or preschoolers and want to plan a day that starts with an interactive experience for the kids...consider one of these August outings:
