In a nutshell
LOVELY LITTLE CITY WOULD GO BACK
tpk77 Says: One of the first places you may want to visit is the Bismarck-Mandan Visitor Center, just off Highway I-94. Here you can speak with and learn more about the area.

KilroyGIJoe Says: If you want a good time and dance to some good music each and every Friday and Saturday night in Bismarck, check out the VFW Club at 14th Street and Broadway. You won't be disappointed! See http://vfwmusic.blogspot.com to find out what is happening this month!
Spend an afternoon at the Dakota Zoo
North_by_Northwest Says: Surprisingly good, the Dakota Zoo offers many exhibits of animals native to the prairie, but also has a good variety of other creatures. The monkey house at the zoo is a particular favorite of mine. There is also a longer "wilderness walk" (a mile or so?) that showcases the...
Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Bismarck
1 Review and 55 Opinions I have stayed at every spot in Bismarck and this is the cleanest. Has a few work-out machines, small...
frankcanfly Says: Where am I? Roswell, New Mexico?This Alien theme restaurant provided some decent food, in a comical 'alien' environment. It's more a place for kids, but I was amused as well. I ordered some of the ribs. The small portion tasted delicious.
Los Amigos: Meximerican in excelsis
jimwalsh2001 Says: The co-owner is a wonderful Mexican-American lady from California and she knows what she's doing. They catered our wedding reception and we were delighted! Spot-on Mexican-American dishes in New York-sized servings. As a longtime fan of Mex and Tex/Mex cuisine, I give Los...
Fortune Cookie: Substandard Chinese Buffet
farmbsc Says: I read such a positive review at this site that we checked out the Fortune Cookie tonight. It is clean and the staff is good, but quality of the food was less than average. Go somewhere else.
North_by_Northwest Says: In homage to Bismarck's German heritage, I wanted to try some traditional German fare while I was in town. Given, what I know about German food can be written in mustard on a bratwurst. After asking around, several locals steered me toward Kroll’s, which appears to be more...
Borrowed Bucks Roadhouse: Borrowed Bucks Roadhouse
Pierre_Rouss Says: Very lively nightlife spot, great music, with dance floor, in an open area that used to be a garage.Unlikely place in a place like Bismarck!Some pool tables, game room, etc... also.Theme nights regularly, bikini contest, boxer girls, Phat Tuesday party (figured the pattern...
grubbstew Says: SOME FRIENDS AND I WENT TO THIS BAR CALLED BUCKS, WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY USED TO BE AN AUTO GARAGE, THE PLACE IS AWESOME INSIDE AND THERE WAS A LOT OF ACTION INSIDE. PATRONS IN THE BAR WERE EASY TO TALK TO AND THE DANCE FLOOR WAS PACKED. I MUST ADMIT I GOT A LITTLE CARRIED...
tpk77 Says: The city of Bismarck recently built a new airport facility. I have not personally flew out of Bismarck in a few years, but I have heard people rate it favorably compared to flying into other airports in the United States.
Public Transportation in Bismarck
tpk77 Says: Bismarck public transit system is called the "Capital Area Transit" or CAT. Routes are available through out Bismarck and the sister city of Mandan. The buses are NOT available after 6:30 PM. There is limited route service on Saturdays and no service on Sundays. 30-day...
Kirkwood Mall: An ordinary Mall but good to while away time..
cochinjew Says: It is situated downtown and close to the accomodations in the area. I could walk over from the hotel and nothing special but the mall had a roomy feeling to it and the people milling around but not crowded or busy..No Barnes and Nobles or Borders, which would have been...
tpk77 Says: More mountain lions are spotted in North Dakota each year. They generally stick to the countryside, but if you are hiking or camping, it is possible that you might spot one. If you spot one, back away slowly and report the sighting. Do not run away or approach the predator....
tpk77 Says: Rattlesnakes are venomous snakes most common in the south-western part of the state, on the eastern side of the Missouri River. They can still be found in other areas of the state, however. If you are planning on hiking or camping in North Dakota, it is important to watch...
tpk77 Says: Tornados in North Dakota can form at anytime. However, they occur most often when the weather is hot and humid. It's sort of like the 'calm before the storm'. This doesn't mean these weather conditions always produce tornados, it just means that it is best to be extra...
tpk77 Says: During the winter blizzards can occur in North Dakota. When warnings are issued, it is important to heed these warnings. Do not travel on roadways during a blizzard. Do not travel outside without proper winter garments, coats, gloves, hats and so on. Blizzards create...
charlize Says: If in Bismarck during the winter, bring WARM sweaters, boots, and coats. It can get very cold. If you are there during the summer, shorts, shirt, and sandals will do. Even if it is nice, you still should bring a jacket. You never know what each day's weather may be. It...
Pierre_Rouss Says: I was fortunate to obtain free tickets to see the Temptations at the Civic Center.This auditorium can fit about 12000 people. Pretty good for a place like Bismarck.So, while in town, look up the activities and shows there.I think there was also an event called Market Place...
Pierre_Rouss Says: Can you believe the chance I got, on my last trip to Bismarck, I got a pair of free tickets to go see the Temptations at the Civic Center.Those old guys still have all the moves.The show lasted 90 minutes or so, and they song a bunch of hits in rapid succession.They still...

Bismarck- Restaurants and Snow.
If I could describe Bismarck in one word, it would be "boring." It's not just that there is not a lot to do. I have been to less compelling places. But It is a city, nothing more.
