I Asked Our AI-Travel Planner for a Weekend Adventure in Fargo—Here’s What It Created

I've long been fascinated with visiting the city of Fargo, North Dakota, ever since I saw the Coen Brothers' 1996 film Fargo starring Steve Buscemi and Frances McDormand long ago. But what would I do when I arrive? To help plan a weekend itinerary, I turned to the Only In Your State AI-Travel Planning Dashboard to help. So, what will I do on a weekend getaway to Fargo with friends? Let's find out!

How to use the AI Travel Planner

While AI can be intimidating to use, this AI Travel Planner is super easy. All I had to do was enter a destination, choose how long I'd like to be away, the month, who I'll be traveling with, and select some interests from a list. For this example, I chose Fargo for a weekend with friends in September. For interests, I chose a range of natural and man-made attractions, dining, and hotels. Here's what the AI tool came up with:

What to do in Fargo

The travel planner gave two interesting options for what to do in Fargo. As an aviation enthusiast, spending a few hours at the Fargo Air Museum is a great idea, especially since I would love to see the Wright Brothers' flyer on display here. The second given option was the Buffalo River State Park in Minnesota, located just 27 minutes away from Fargo. Here, my friends and I can cross the border into Minnesota (another state I have yet to visit) for hiking, kayaking, and horseback riding.

Where to dine in Fargo

I love trying local hotspots when traveling, and Doolittle’s Woodfire Grill seems like a fantastic place to dine. Serving various rotisserie dishes like chicken, Thai meatballs, salmon, and more, my friends and I could order several plates to share. For a light lunch and cocktails, Pounds would be an enjoyable place to spend an afternoon. Maybe we could order burgers and Bloody Marys and have fun talking to locals at this popular establishment. For a Sunday brunch, Nichole’s Fine Pastry & Café would be ideal to visit with my friends. With quiche, galettes, and pastries, it's the perfect way to end our weekend in Fargo.

Where to stay in Fargo

The travel tool suggested two options for places to stay: a vacation rental and a resort. The Luxury Downtown Fargo Loft on Airbnb only has one bedroom for up to two guests. While this is a fantastic place if I was traveling with just one friend or my significant other, I think a bigger rental or a hotel would be a better choice.

The second option I was given was Fair Hills Resort, an all-inclusive lakeside retreat located 50 miles away in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. While this seems like a fantastic place to stay, I'd opt for something like the Hotel Donaldson in Fargo instead.

Final thoughts on the AI Travel Planning Dashboard

I love how easy it is to use the AI travel tool. It's so simple and takes seconds to generate an itinerary. For a weekend in Fargo with friends, I feel that it gave a fantastic mix of accommodations, dining options, and things to do. However, I wish it gave more accommodation options within Fargo. If you haven't tried it yet, you should, especially for your next getaway plans!
