Roosvelt Park and the adjacent zoo are also two local diversions. Here you can see animals and wander around the park as well as have fun in the picnic areas, use the swimming pool, and play tennis.

An interesting part of the city is the Scandinavian Heritage Center, which houses a 230-year-old Norwegian house and a completely wooden Catholic church. Many of the people living in this area are descended from 19th-century Scandinavian immigrants.
