Welcome to Fun

Wahpeton delivers entertainment to every walk of life. Check out some of our more notable attractions.

	Chahinkapa Zoo Considered by many to be the best zoo in North Dakota, the Chahinkapa Zoo is a favorite for tourists and townsfolk alike. The zoo features over 70 species of wildlife and houses over 200 animals. The white tigers, zebras and spider monkeys are among the most popular attractions. In 2010, Chahinkapa will be unveiling an orangutan exhibit, showcasing one of man’s closest cousins in the animal kingdom.
	Bois de Sioux The Bois de  Sioux golf course remains a favorite by regional golfers and offers 18 holes.  The front nine is located in Wahpeton and known for its challenging design and scenic views. According to golf.com, the course’s signature #9 is reminiscent of #13 on Augusta National. This 497 yard, par 5 tests any player regardless of skill level.
	Prairie Rose Carousel A landmark and local favorite, the restored Prairie Rose Carousel brings joy to both historians and children. The 20-horse carousel demonstrates Wahpeton’s dedication to history and sense of community. Each horse has been adopted by a local business or organization in order to preserve this slice of Americana.
	Chahinkapa Park The Chahinkapa Park brings the community together by hosting numerous events throughout the year.  Many people take advantage of the 178′ double-loop water slide, swimming facilities, camp grounds and ample picnic shelters. It’s the perfect place to spend a fun filled evening with family and friends.
	Shopping Downtown Wahpeton blends modern conveniences with a historic main street. Boutique, antique, an art gallery (opening fall 2010) and other stores join JC Penney to line Dakota Avenue while Walmart anchors new development in north Wahpeton.
