Several seasonal stage projects are presented year-round at this entertainment venue.

If you think that the concept of the cowboy was invented by John Wayne-types, Bismarck's North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame will challenge everything you think you know about cattle rustlers from the past. This attraction is an interpretive center for the history of Native Americans, and you will see the dramatic link between their culture to various “western” traditions like the rodeo, ranching, and the rustic “cowboy” lifestyle that owes much to the tribes that first inhabited the land.

Devils Lake in Bismarck's surrounding area is a favorite of aquatic sports lovers. In addition to swimming, those willing to take the plunge enjoy snorkeling, water skiing, jet skiing and fishing during the warmer months of the year.
