Specializing in Cheap Flights to Bismarck

Bismark, the capital of North Dakota, is a vacation haven for those who love history and natural beauty.

Take part in a bit of history at Keelboat Park where you can ride in a 55-foot full-scale keelboat just like the one Lewis and Clark traveled the Missouri River with.  Along the way visit Fort Yates where they stopped to trade with native Americans.  Other historic venues include Chief Looking s Village, the Standing Rock Agency Stockade, the Double Ditch Indian Village State Historic Site and the Mandan Holy Hills.

The Dakota Zoo is the largest in North Dakota and home to more than 500 reptiles, birds and mammals.

Originally called Edwinton, the town was renamed after German chancellor Otto von Bismarck as a draw to get German immigrants into the area.  It was however the gold rush in the Black Hills not too far off that was responsible for the area s eventual growth.

For architecture enthusiasts, the Cathedral District is the site of many homes constructed in the 1880s that still stand in the shade of impressive American elm trees.  The 55,000 or so people who live in Bismarck are fiercely protective of this part of their landscape and have thus far rejected any suggestions of so called improvements or modernization.

The city operates some 2300 acres of public parkland in the area including biking and walking trails for those who want to quietly enjoy the sights.

For those who crave more active sport, hunting, fishing, skiing and boating are popular in the area, and with five golf courses, you can guess at the other.
