Winter Fun in Grand Forks

Grand Forks knows how to make the most of winter weather, offering a range of exciting outdoor activities and cozy indoor fun. If you’re in the market for Grand Forks new homes, we can help you find your ideal home, and we have some wintertime fun suggestions to enjoy when you’re not house hunting!

Hockey is always popular here, whether you’re playing or cheering on your favorite team. Head to Ralph Engelstad Arena, which is home to University of North Dakota hockey. You’re sure to be cheering on future NHL stars along with plenty of other enthusiastic supporters in this impressive arena. There are some big games coming up, so don’t miss them!

For your own turn on the ice, head downtown to the Town Square Ice Rink. Whether you’re looking to show off your ice skating skills, join a pick-up hockey game, or try your hand at broomball, there’s something for everyone.

For other outdoor fun, explore the 20 miles of the scenic Greenway Trail System of maintained paths that can be enjoyed all year long. During the winter, you can also enjoy sledding, skiing, snowshoeing, and even ice fishing.

If you’re looking for warmer indoor activities the whole family can enjoy, head to Northern Air Action Park. This impressive complex is the state’s top indoor trampoline park, with 10,000 square feet of jumping space! You’ll also find dodgeball courts, a foam pit, and laser tag. But wait, there’s more! Try the Hologate Virtual Reality, the multi-level indoor karting track, and a game arcade with more than 30 games to try. Plus, if you’re 21 or over and want to try axe throwing, you’re in luck!

Another popular indoor activity that gives your brain a workout – and a good time – is the Grand Forks Escape Room. With options for a range of ages, you’ll use elements of the room to solve various puzzles to help you get out of the room within a set time limit. There are a variety of escape room themes, including, “The Haunting”, “Oz Has Alice”, and “Trapped in the 80s” to name just a few.

Finally, don’t miss the variety of national and international touring performances at the Chester Fritz Performing Arts Center. Upcoming events include the ABBAFAB tribute show, Rhythm of the Dance, and Chicago the Musical.

Throughout the year, you’ll always find plenty of fun in this charming city. If you’re in the market for Grand Forks new homes, be sure to contact us today.
