Make the Most of Your Grand Forks Stay

A resilient river city

Grand Forks rises along the Red River with quiet determination shaped by its 1997 flood recovery, when downtown burned while underwater and the community rebuilt with purpose. The revitalized historic core features brick commercial buildings from the 1880s through 1960s, housing establishments like Harry's Steakhouse and Skies 322 at the Olive Ann Hotel. The University of North Dakota's Collegiate Gothic campus anchors the city's identity, creating an academic atmosphere that influences the entire community.

Hockey culture and collegiate energy

The Ralph Engelstad Arena stands as one of the world's finest collegiate hockey facilities, where UND games generate intensity rivaling professional sports. This $100 million venue features granite floors, leather seating, and luxury suites attracting passionate fans and corporate guests. The university's presence creates youthful energy throughout the city, while the North Dakota Museum of Art brings contemporary international exhibitions to this northern plains setting. The Toasted Frog and local breweries provide upscale yet relaxed dining for business travelers and visitors.

Regional connections and outdoor access

The 2,200-acre Greenway park system along both rivers offers extensive trails, transforming flood protection into recreational opportunity. Grand Forks International Airport provides Delta connections through Minneapolis, while the city serves as a gateway to Devils Lake's fishing and Winnipeg's cultural attractions. Rental cars remain most practical for navigating the city and exploring the Red River Valley.
