The museum portion is facinating and interesting. But was very disappointed to find things in the gift shop that were "Made in China"...would like to have found more North Dakota made products. The selection of ND products was nice, but could have been more. More

Best feature when going to capital, at least I think so. Not very far from capital, a very short walk. I took the kids there and spent a good half a day. Parking can be tough. Just have search for a spot. At the most a half a block More

I really enjoyed my visit to the ND Heritage Center. The exhibits about ND history are arranged chronologically and start with dinosaurs. They have great artifacts and the labels are interesting to read. The museum staff is very knowledgeable and will gladly answer any questions. The gift shop has a nice selection of gifts from around the state and prices... More

We used to visit the center when we lived in Bismarck, now 20 years later brought the grown up kids back- very interesting and can't wait to see what it will be like when it is done with renovations. More

Very neat little museum. The "mummified" dinosaur was so cool---to see the actual dinosaur skin texture was amazing. More
