Seven Fires

You'll go absolutely wild when you plan a visit to Bismarck's Dakota Zoo. This renowned facility is located on the east bank of the Missouri River in Sertoma Park. The attraction holds the distinction of being the state's largest zoo. The expansive venue is home to over 500 reptiles, birds, and mammals. In addition to offering tours to various school groups, the zoo also presents special exhibits and seasonal programs throughout the year.

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.

Being situated in North Dakota, Bismarck is most definitely a city that loves its hockey! The Bismarck Bobcats are a very special team that takes to the ice every season. This group is part of the American Hockey League and is made up of players who are twenty years and younger. These very young and skilled players play their home games at VFW Sports Center in northern Bismarck.
