Very cool place to learn about the Scandinavians. It took me to a whole new place, and is a great place to take some pictures. It is nice, clean, and very well kept. It also has some picnic tables so you can sit and enjoy lunch in the shade.

Short visit, it was a cold day but this place is super amazing. Wish we can stay there longer!

We stopped by on a road trip in late June 2019, taking the short cut from Eastern Canada to Saskatchewan. Id heard about the giant Dala horse and since I had a tiny Dala horse I really loved as a child I wanted to see the big one!We were in a really big rush and didnt know there was a whole park to see so we only did a very quick tour through, but it was awesome! The church was completely amazing. I wish wed had more time to stop-- hopefully well be back that way sometime!

Really cool buildings but due end of season building was closed.

I absolutely love this place. You need to visit this place in July when all the walkways are filled with flowers. Its a stunning park. Its great if you want to walk the paths enjoying the weather, or a place to have lunch on many of the tables scattered around, or just hang out in general. One of Minots best places to be.

Very nice! Great for people to learn a few things about Scandinavian heritage. The monuments, statues and buildings show beautiful heritage.

Nice place to visit. Very well maintained and upkept. Visit and see for yourself...

Great beauty in the Scandinavian Architecture, the church is awesome, and the park is nice, the gift store has alot of cool educational and Scandinavian fun stuff inside as well.

Such a beautiful park with water features, amazing buildings statuary and flowers! Makes you proud to be Scandinavian!

Wonderful, unique place to learn about the cultures of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and Finland. We recently visited there with my husbands parents and our children.Its so fun to look for trolls, and our youngest enjoyed roleplaying the Three Billy Goats Gruff across the bridges! I love the natural wood smell inside the Gol Stave Church - and the carvings are intricate and beautiful. Its a very peaceful place, and the volunteers Ive met there have been very friendly and knowledgeable. One of my favorite statues is the one of Hans Christian Andersen. You can see some hints of his stories in the statue, like a duckling and a pair of scissors. Sometimes the sauna door is open so you can see the sunlight streaming through the beautiful stained glass windows. Dont forget to check out the Heritage House a short walk down the road from the cabin - I overlooked it the first time I visited the park.The gift shop area is fairly small, and doubles as the Visitors Center for Minot, but there is still a great variety of trinkets, t-shirts, gifts, books, and treats. Definitely check out the toffee chocolate bar from Iceland; its one of the most expensive chocolate bars Ive ever bought, but soooooo very worth it! (Actually, dont - if theres more demand the price will go up and Ill only be able to get it at Christmas!)

Well maintained grounds and buildings. You couldn’t go inside anything due to COVID, but it’s still nice too look at.

Great place to go people

Visited the park in the bitter cold, hopefully we can one day come back and stay longer when some buildings are open too. I was disappointed that the gift store was closed, there had been posts about the gift store over the winter, but the door was closed and had a sign saying closed October to May :(

Nice little place to visit while in Minot. Just wish that the buildings had been open to go inside. Gift shop was fun.

Great little spot to learn wonderful and unexpected things about Scandinavian connections to North Dakota!

Beautiful park in Minot. You can take good pictures here.

Wonderful. Very informative.

Loved this place a must see if you are out and about!!!

The Scandinavian Heritage Park is wonderful for both adults and children. The area is well kept and all around beautiful. There are many great stories and historical facts around the park as well. Lovely place for pictures and the entrance fee is very reasonable. The gift shop is a little small but still has a solid selection.

This was a beautiful place to spend an afternoon as we are visiting in North Dakota. If I were a resident of Minot, I would come back often to enjoy the peaceful grounds or maybe a little picnic at one of the shelters.

Many places were not open and no one was in the gift shop.

Very pretty park.

Very cool to see and experience a piece of my family ancestry. People there were helpful and informative.

A very interesting place. Well worth seeing.

Learn a little history, walk through a replica church, long house and store house. Learn about Odin, Thor, Leif Eriksson, check out Buffy the buffalo.

Such a cool place, learned a lot about a heritage I knew nothing about. Great Instagram content lol.

We expected to make this a quick stop on our way out west, not knowing that we be captivated by the architecture of buildings, the stories told by the staff, and the gorgeous outdoor spaces. What a fantastic representation of the Scandinavian culture. My teens also enjoyed our time here, especially the Dala Horse. If you are in the Minot area, take the time to stop by and visit this park. Whether you take a few minutes - or the hour+ we ended up staying - youll have a wonderful time!

I very liked thise place.

Scandinavian Heritage AssociationGreat and beautiful place to visit.

We stopped when the 2 women who work there were available and they really made the visit worth it. They had so much to say about the history of the heritage. Beautiful, very well kept park too.

Beautiful architecture. The Church and grounds were peaceful to walk through.

Great outdoor museum and indoor gift shop. Great to visit year round.

Maybe I chose the wrong time of year to come visit? I visited in early May and came from California to visit family in the Minneapolis but I drove out all this way to see this place only to find out the church wasn’t even open. Regardless, it is beautifully constructed and took many pictures to make the most of my visit. It seemed there is also a fountain or a pond that is not in use.

Interesting bit of Scandinavian history in America.

Beautiful park! Amazing cultural experience.

A beautiful park to commemorate Scandinavian culture

Great place for anyone to go hang out at.

Incredible how the small Scandinavian countries have impacted our country so much

Great place for a quiet picnic

Definitely does as its name implies. Also a good place to walk around. Limited parking.

Small park in the middle of Minot. Several cool bronze statues and wooden buildings to see, along with a big center/gift shop. Place is kind of run down and not well maintained, but a nice place to stop for awhile. The Nordic church looked very interesting, but was not open when I went.

Cool place. Great if you can talk to people there and find out about it and what it represents. Kids love it

Nice little place. Great to walk around and explore. Sorry to the couple whose wedding I interrupted.

Very cool place for all of the family. Lots of information about Scandinavian history, well kept, and 7 Pokemon stops fun for all.

Very beautiful park! My son even at 17 enjoyed his time here!

What a wealth of knowledge! And everyone is eager to share and answer questions, a majority of the focus is on Norway and my only wish is that there was a younger generation as enthusiastic as this.

Love everything about the park

Really neat setup and experience, a must see

Plenty to see

Nice exhibits and open space to spend a few minutes on a nice day in Minot. There were volunteers at a few of the exhibits to share information about the culture.

Good place to stop by and walk around while passing through town. Volunteer guy in the church knows everything about the town and surrounding areas.

Awesome buildings

Pokéstops galore! Plus its an awesome place to walk around on a nice day.

I enjoy coming to the Scandinavian Heritage Park, its full of information, history and most likely of you go into the visitors center they give you information of all the events in town.The park is also a Pokémon spot which you can walk the park several times to get those pokeballs and new Pokémon like Lynx, Gastly, Weezly and others.
