2 for 1 Deal
The Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center and Fort Mandan (2 miles away) are a 2 for 1 deal that is really something to experience. A $25 family pass or $8 individual gets you into both sites, museum, and art gallery. All are worthwhile. The site focuses mainly on the Corps of Discovery’s stay with the Mandan and Hidatsa Indians. The interpreters and rangers here are very knowledgeable; great tour of Fort Mandan. Gift shop was nice too. If you like to picnic, there are roofed/protected shelters available. WARNING: the mosquitoes on the walk to Fort Mandan were lethal! Bring bug repellent. Overall, a really enjoyable historic site.

Very nice but wish there was more
I was excited to stop here on my trip through North Dakota, but was a bit underwhelmed. It's a very well done little center, but you can make it through everything in 45 minutes, even if you read every single thing. I was hoping for a little bit more, given the proximity to the actual route taken by Lewis and Clark. The exhibits are great and there is a very nice gift shop; I just wish there was more. Definitely worth a stop here to check it out.
