West Acres Mall

Billed as a bonafide tourist attraction, the West Acres Shopping Center is the central retail mecca of the Fargo-Moorhead area. As with all good malls, for miles and miles surrounding West Acres the landscape is dotted with box stores and chain restaurants. You will have to travel more than a hundred miles away from Fargo to find another TGI Fridays or Dress Barn.

The mall itself contains all of the standard fare -- even a Macy's -- but with that certain Fargo flair.

Where else but at West Acres would you find a Scandinavian import store nestled between an ice cream parlor and a cell phone retailer?

Before you leave, don't forget to stop by the Roger Maris Museum. Just take a right at Spencer Gifts.

If you time your visit to Fargo just right, you can stop by during one of the coldest months of the year to partake in the Cookbook Festival!

And the movie theater? Well, they boast the biggest traditional screens in all of North Dakota.

See you at the mall, kids. Look out for this guy. He may -- or may not -- be giving out samples. Eh?
