Great performances don't just happen. Lots of intense practice, planning, rehearsal, and effort have to be put forth in order to ensure that the absolute best entertainment makes it to the stage for audiences to enjoy. That is the philosophy of the staff at the Belle Mehus Auditorium. Whether it is a sweeping classical performance, an engaging dramatic comedy or one of today's latest musical acts, they can all rest assured that the show will go on in the best possible way when it takes place on Bismarck's Belle Mehus Auditorium stage.

One of Bismarck's most distinctive attractions is the North Dakota State Capitol Building. Known by the locals as the “Skyscraper on the Prairie,” the facility is well worth visiting for its fascinating historical significance. This Art-Deco style building was completed in 1933 and stands at an impressive 19 stories. The state's past, present and future all reside within the walls of this structure that also features an arboretum garden that includes a bronze Sakakawea and a rendering of a pioneer family.

There are several opportunities for the whole family to make a big splash when you venture out to Bismarck's Super Slide Amusement Park. Race down the super slide, chase each other around in bumper cars, go for a spin around the carousel, or take a whack at a baseball in the batting cages.
