Most People Don’t Know This North Dakota Zoo And Adventure Park Exists
North Dakota has a handful of big city zoos in places like Fargo and Bismarck, but did you know it also has a zoo and park combo in the smaller city of Wahpeton? Not only is the zoo jam packed with things to see and do, it is also located in an absolutely gorgeous park with camping, trails, a pool, and more things available for use at a great location. See it for yourself:
Located right along the Red River in Wahpeton, North Dakota is Chahinkapa Park. So many things are waiting for you inside!
The zoo features quite a few animals including lemurs, monkeys, and an orangutang. Because of the zoo's small size, you can get up close and personal to each exhibit without having to fight to the front of crowds.
The Chahinkapa Park is full of history, including a historic, restored carousel called the Prairie Rose Carousel. It is only one of three antique carousels of its type left in the US.
Additionally, the park includes cabins, campgrounds, ponds, trails along the Red River, a pool, playgrounds, and so much more just waiting for you to have an adventure in.
Chahinkapa Park is located at 85 R J Hughes Drive, Wahpeton, ND 58075. The zoo is located within the park and is opening for the 2018 season on April 28th. The park is open for public use year round. Click here for more information.
