The Visitors Bureau was very interesting and very informative. Seeing the famous "Fargo Chipper" was pretty cool. I really enjoyed looking Walk Of Fame. A lot of famous people have visited the great town of Fargo. Anyone going to or through Fargo, North Dakota should deffinatly take time to see the Walk Of Fame at least.

There was a great deal of information about things to do and see, and plenty of maps. The people working there were very helpful.

I am a big fan of the movie Fargo and just had to get my picture with the wood chipper.They even have a Facebook page and they post guest pictures with the wood chipper on the site. Some nice post cards and apparel available for purchase. They also promote the Wood Chipper wine that we were able to purchase at... More

The visitor's center now has the original wood chipper from the movie Fargo. The staff provides wooly hunter's cap for you to wear and they take your photo. There's also other memorbilia from the movie and there's a celebrity sidewalk outside with cement hands from everyone from Bill Gates to Metallica.

As fans of the movie Fargo, we wanted to stop and see the wood chipper used in the movie and autographed by the cast. We got to actually put on hats and have our picture taken by one of the accommodating people there. They also have wood chipper articles for sale if you are a real fan of the movie.... More

It might seem a bit corny to stop at the visitor's center - but it is worth it. The photo op with the "Fargo Chipper" is worth the stop alone. And there is a really fascinating Walk of Fame on the site - with all sorts of well known signatures with hand an foot prints. Stevie Ray Vaughn was the... More

It's Fargo's version of Hollywood. I'm sure many residents don't even know it's there. It is interesting to see the names of celebrities who have been to this "rest stop town". If you are downtown for a movie or dinner in the summer, take a little time to see the free event, but don't go to the address listed. That's... More

Obviously the Fargo-Moorehead visitor center is going to try to capitalize on the success of the movie Fargo. It's an amazing movie, I love it. There are copies of the script, a display case featuring memorabilia of the movie, and of course the actual wood chipper from the movie. There's also a replica outside. The walk of fame is a... More
