WELCOME                 

Act Like a Child – Think Like a Child. Whether you are young or old, the International Peace Garden appeals to your sense of smell, site, touch, taste and hearing. Peace and tranquility tug at the hearts of the many thousands of annual visitors.

 The International Peace Garden is a popular retreat where nature and people meet. One hundred and fifty thousand flowers are planted each year. The two floral flag displays are the only two that remain the same each year. The working floral clock holds 2,000 to 3,000 flowers depending upon the design. Moose, deer, and birds are a pleasure to watch as are the turtles sunning themselves at the Ducks Unlimited Dam. Camping, picnicking, hiking and biking make for a lifetime memory. Many play areas are located at the various picnic sites, as well as the café. If kept on a leash, pets are welcomed to the park.

The quaint Souvenir Shop has items for all ages and interests. The Café carries many flavors of ice cream and a favorite treat, Canadian Toffee. Visitors are intrigued with the 911 Memorial Site, the 120 foot tall columns of the Peace Tower and the Peace Chapel, with its peaceful writings etched in limestone containing marine fossils.

Playful daisies surround the children’s Peace Marker, dedicated September 9, 1950, by the Young Citizens League. The marker was sculptured by Hynek Rynicek of Mandan, ND. The inscription reads: "Under God Let Child Love Child and Strife Will Cease."
