Scheels - Worth stopping in to browse the merchandise. I'd spend a ton of cash there if money were no issue. Most notable was their good selection of 2011 Staccato handguns. I'm always on the look out for 3rd generation S&W autos. They had a 3913 NL and a 6946, both in very good condition. I wish they'd ditch the cheese grater cases they lock the guns into. Can't see worth a damn through those.
Young Blood Coffee - I don't drink coffee so I can't comment on the quality but seemed like a nice place. Took the family there one morning for coffee
Downtown - Downtown area was much bigger than we expected. A fair number of shops to browse and a great place to spend some time at.
Buffalo River State Park - East of Moorehead. Hiking trails worth spending 1-2 hours traversing if you're into that
Izumi Sushi & Hibachi - Standard Hibachi and Sushi type place. Decent but not outstanding
Haunted Farm - Obviously this was a Halloween timed event. I honestly thought it was pretty lame for $22.
Acres of Terror was that same type of activity and I kind of wish we had gone to that one instead, but it was probably another 20 minutes further away given where we were at the time.
Ishtar Mediterranean Cuisine - Typical greek or Mediterranean type food. Very good and I would definitely recommend it. My kids typical do not prefer to eat at places like this but all 3 of them really liked their meal.
Hjemkomst Center - I can't say much about this because only my wife and one daughter toured that while the rest of us went elsewhere.
Pixeled Brewery - 'Brew pub' with old arcade games. I put 'Brew pub' in quotes because they didn't really have their own beers. Big selection of arcade games to play for $.25 per game (tokens). No pin ball machines though. Anyone under 21 is allowed in only on Sundays though. I think this was the first time I played Donkey Kong in 30+ years. Definitely a fun stop.
Sunset Lanes - Bowling, not much else to say. $20 for 4 of us to bowl one game so I thought that was pretty economical
Wurst Bier Hall - Huge selection of beer and the food was phenomenal. I stepped outside my comfort zone and had the Porketta Fargo sandwich and it was awesome.
Cheyenne National Grassland - South, South-West of Fargo. We wanted to get down there and do some hiking but the weather was iffy so we held off. Our family weekend trips usually have a health share of hiking and I would say that this was one activity that I felt the Fargo-Moorhead did not have a lot of. Though we knew that ahead of time.
