Shopping
Just north of Caribou are the Swedish colonies, settled during the years after the Civil War. Monica's gift shop carries a selection of Scandinavian clothing, shoes, housewares, foods, and toys. It is a must-stop place during New Sweden's Midsommmar celebration, but is also excellent for unusual and beautiful gifts for others or for yourself.

Entertainment & Activities
The Caribou Bowl O Drome is a throwback to the way bowling alleys USED to be. They offer candlepin bowling (the little balls, not the big ones) in half of the building. No fancy computerized graphics and flashing lights for this place - just straight up old fashioned paper and pencil score sheets. The other half of the building is the Bar part of the business, which has pool tables and the occasional Karaoke nights.
