Having visited the state on several occasions, I believe that there is nothing interesting to see in North Dakota unless you love lots of flat prairie in all directions.

However, in addition to the parks listed below, some people like to see:

1. The National Buffalo Museum and live herd can be found in Jamestown . See all things buffalo http://www.buffalomuseum.com
2. The International Peace Garden is located on the international border of North Dakota and Manitoba, Canada. Opened in 1932 as a symbol of peace and friendship and claims to be the longest unfortified border in the world. More than 150,000 tourists visit each year to view the unique floral displays in the 2,339 acre Botanical Garden. http://www.peacegarden.com/
3. The Dakota Zoo in Bismarck, North Dakota covers 90 acres and is home to 600 animals, birds, reptiles and fish representing 125 species including bison, praire dogs and other species native to North Dakota. Visited by more than 130,000 people each year. http://www.dakotazoo.org/
