Experiencing The Best Of Bismarck, ND 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( Feb 16, 2012) I live in Bismarck North Dakota and love it all that the city has to offer from the zoo to the restaurants. I moved here because, I wanted to live in a city that offers a little bit of everything for me to experience. Some of the many attractions in Bismarck are the zoo, heritage ...Read More center, and golf club, Lewis and Clark Riverboat and the Bismarck Civic Center. Super slide amusement park is lots of fun and has rides for children and adults to enjoy together. There are areas for having picnics, basketball and other outdoor activities.

The communities in Bismarck are very well kept and welcoming. The neighborhoods are separated into the Cathedral, Downtown Core, Downtown Fringe and Renaissance Zone. The communities give off an all around friendly feel with children and dog parks, biking and running lanes. The streets are clean and the parks are trash free with beautiful landscaping. Another great aspect of Bismarck is the restaurants that have great cuisine. I remember one of the first restaurants I ate at was the Toasted Frog. They offer all American cuisine and have inexpensive drinks. Other great restaurants are Nibbles & Brunch, Kobe's Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar and Blarney Stone Pub.

The nightlife in Bismarck is great and has a little something for everyone. I remember visiting the Burnt Creek Club on 3rd street and loved the music and drink specials. On certain nights they have black jack tables and specials on their appetizers. The clubs that have great music, environment and drinks are Lucky's Bar & Lounge, Midway Tavern, Bismarck Moose Lodge 302 and the Mystic Booster Club. Shopping in Bismarck is good and most of it happens at the Kirkwood Mall. The food, clothing, music and toy shops are great and anything not at this mall can be found at the Gateway Mall.
