Voice of Travelers to Grand Forks

Family holiday in Grand Forks

Last summer, we went on a family vacation in Grand Forks. We flew with Allegiant air and their services went beyond our expectations. The ground staff were patient, and the cabin crew was equally pleasant. The seats were comfortable, and we were served a good meal onboard. In Grand Forks, we stayed at Grand Forks Garden Inn. Our best moment in Grand Folks was in Splasher's of the South Seas. We had hours of fun and the kids had a great time playing with the water. We also visited North Dakota Museum of Art, Memorial Park, and the Japanese Garden.

Adventures of Grand Forks

My fiance and I took a vacation in Grand Forks after six months of just work. We traveled by air with Mesaba airline. We traveled on economy class, and their services were exceptional. The seats had comfortable leg space and the cabin area was well kept. In Grand Forks, we had so much to do. Everything in the city was reasonably priced, and there was so much that we could do with our holiday budget. We both love outdoors so most of the time we were out either biking, hiking, horse riding or just walking. Our favorite trails were Gladstone Provincial Park, Grand Forks Community Trail, and Jewel Lake Provincial Park. We also visited North Dakota Museum of Art which had contemporary works from around the world.
