5 Activities in Bismarck-Mandan to Enjoy With Children During Summer Vacation
As the last day of school rapidly approaches, it is time to start planning outings that are fun and will keep your child away from the TV and video games this summer!
Dakota Zoo
The Dakota Zoo is a great place to take the kids on a sunny afternoon.
Get an up close and personal view of the 600 animals, birds, reptiles and fish that call The Dakota Zoo home. There are even certain species you can feed and touch!
For those of you with younger children that may have trouble keeping up with all the excitement, bring your stroller or catch the train which gives a tour of the whole zoo!
Summer hours and events can be found on the Dakota Zoo website.
Raging Rivers Waterpark
Raging Rivers is not your average swimming pool, it is a full blown waterpark equipped with fun for all ages!
There is an area for the little ones while the older, more adventurous kids can take their pick between two large water slides then float down the lazy river.
Opening day is May 30 so get your season pass today!
Dacotah Speedway
Mandan's Dacotah Speedway is sure to bring high-speed excitement to a family night out.
The track hosts five different divisions weekly including: IMCA Modifieds, WISSOTA Street Stocks, Hobby Stocks and more!
The Demolition Derby and Monster Truck Show are only two of the special events held outside of the weekly races.
