Top 49 things to do and attractions in Duluth

It's a decent amount of different fish, octopus, stingray, starfish and a real cute tree with natural wood staircase on the inside leading to a slide on the out for kids upstairs and downstairs has lake superior, Michigan so on, shaped Interactive play pools my 3 year old had a blast at. Clean learning walls and such here and there. Would be cool if there were more salt water exotic attractions but amazing for the kids for sure.

Always a great experience with ample ever changing exhibits! Excellent place for kids to learn and burn off energy. My son LOVES the otters so we always come during the otter show. We wish they were out more. Consider providing an opportunity to touch their paws. It would really add to the experience and may help with enrichment given how social they are. The snapping turtle and the octopus really shined this trip seemingly interacting with us through the glass. It was really neat to see!

What I loved about this place was the signs telling the stories of the animals who are lifelong residents. I haven’t seen that in other places and I really appreciated it. It’s a pretty small aquarium and I think the price is high, plus the price of parking is absurd. The front desk staff were not overly friendly. I’m glad I was able to check it out on a crummy weather day during my vacation but I probably wouldn’t go back.

I love aquariums and when I googled things to do in Duluth, the Great Lakes Aquarium popped up. Did not know one existed, so I had to check it out. It was a creative and interesting place to visit. It gave some great history and science info on the lakes and Minnesota. It had some cool Sturgeon that you could pet. Had other fish native to the great lakes as well. Loved that it had a Bald Eagle. It did include an ocean section with some unique fish and coral reefs. This area include an octopus and some sea dragons. Very cool. Some great views of the harbor and the aerial bridge. The only reason I did not give it 4 stars was because of the steep parking price. Not sure why they charge so much for parking. The gift shop is a must stop. Some of the proceeds go to the parks of Minnesota...bonus! Side note...You can come back the same day with the same admission.

Visited on a Friday afternoon. We walked from downtown wasn't my favorite with kids so I do recommend just driving and parking there no matter how close you are. There was a lot of interactive things for young kids! We had a great time and will be back. We spent so much time we ended up missing the whole Ocean area. Plan for a good 3 hours, this place blew our expectations out of the water!

This aquarium provided such a great experience! The variety of fish and wildlife was incredible! It was like visiting an aquarium and zoo combination. There is a touch pond stocked with Sturgeon (which are so gorgeous) and also a jellyfish touch area that were both open. The interactive learning stations geared for kiddos are awesome. The habitat for each beautiful creature looked cleaned and lovingly tended to. This was such a great aquarium to visit and enjoy! I cannot wait to return on our next family visit. I would recommend a visit to anyone! 5 Stars indeed!

What a magnificent place. It took me about an hour to walk thru. I would've taken longer but ot was a bit busy. Definitely recommend a visit. Paying for parking was weird. It seems like its on the honor system , so be honorable!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Aerial Lift Bridge is such an unforgettable icon of Duluth. Watching it gracefully rise to let ships through while boat horns echo across the water—thrilling! The canal surroundings are full of energy, from tourists snapping photos to fishermen casting lines. It’s a landmark that’s equally dramatic, historic, and deeply tied to the character of the North Shore. Great place to tour with the Vista Fleet Scenic Tour

Such a great icon in the city of the Duluth which is the Minnesota seaway. Fun to drive or walk over. Neat to see the road lift to allow boats and barges pass through. Next to Canal Park which is full of shops and restaurants. Fun place to discover.

It was amazing to both see and drive this bridge. It has beautiful architecture, and it was great to see it raise and lower

Just a very cool place to go and watch the ships (usually ore ships) come in. There's a museum and small gift shop. Not far to several restaurants and ice cream and shopping.

Fun watching the ships and boats come and go. Fun to watch the bridge lift and be lowered to allow the ships and boats to pass through. Lots to see and great place for a walk.

An interesting city with a unique bridge. We were hoping to see a big ship, but did get to see it go up for a smaller vessel. A great downtown area to visit.

This 1930's Army Corps of Engineers built bridge is a wonderful machine at over 90 years old. Watching those 500 tonight counterweights balance out the 1,000 ton span is cool to watch. It looks quite similar to the Cape Cod Canal bridge.

Walked the grounds with my niece and sister, loved being able to explore the space outside the mansion after years of taking the indoor tour and skipping the outside portion. Pictures from the 20th of August. It was only 5 dollars for the grounds pass.

This is truly the most amazing place. The woodwork and craftsmanship were the best I have seen. Most rooms where done in different woodwork and supplies from all over the word. Grounds and home have been well taken care of.

This is definitely the most impressive mansion tour I've taken. Everything is set up to be very authentic to the period. We took the self-guided tour, which I highly recommend since they have many interpretive markers to read for more information about the room and history.

Holy smokes this place was awesome. Wife and I are into touring mansion museums when traveling and we really appreciated the full self guided tour. Would recommend doing the tour that gets you into the attic and upstairs areas. Colin was an awesome source of information and you can tell that he enjoys sharing.

This place is awesome! A must see! It's just amazing the amount of money and work that went into building this house in the early 1900s! So modern for its day! The woodworking is just exquisite! And the stable is, wow, like a house, not a barn! We went on a self guided tour for $20 per person. A great tour because the path is marked out so well! And the yard and gardens are just beautiful!

This was a nice in door tour of the mansion. You'll be walking around the rooms and reading family history. There's also a sea shell scavenger hunt which made it fun. There's not a lot of places during the tour to take a break and have a seat but otherwise there's some out door patio furniture once you get outside where you can relax and enjoy the view of the beautiful lake. There's also military discounts, UMD student discounts and elderly discounts as well. Definitely a nice tour if you're into history and architecture.

Excellent self-guided tour. Beautiful early turn of the century (1905) mansion. Beautiful views of Lake Superior. Our teens enjoyed that the tour was self paced so they went fast and hung out on the beach and hammocks while we went slower.

I went there 4 years ago and it was a good railroad museum and it had a lot of history to it and it was very interesting. They had a lot of different kinds of trains that they had from engine to passenger cars and it was very informative.

We really enjoyed this museum. Absolutely worth the stop. Once you enter the front look at displays on main level3, then down the stairs to 2nd level, then you go down another set of stairs to the base floor and the museum. Lots to look at and some are interactive showing the wheels moving and horns. You can walk though over half of them which is rare in most museums. Worth going!

This was a wonderful experience. Friendly people, the lady at the entrance to the museum has so much knowledge about the museum. So much to see and do. Getting to go inside all the different train cars and all the history. The train ride is worth every dollar. Splurge on the dome car, it was great with such friendly people.

Loved the experience. Interesting exhibits, ability to board multiple cars and explore. Spent about an hour and a half and saw most of if not all exhibits.

It was a really cool place to visit. We got to see lots of different trains and explore the inside of many train cars. There were some things under construction but still pretty cool. We would go back. Next time, we plan on doing a train ride to see Duluth in a different way.

It was awesome! Lots of older trains and educational spots on the trains they have.

Beautiful museum. Lots to take in and see. I'm so glad we came here

Our kids were 5 and 3 when we visited last fall. We didn't know for sure what to expect so only bought the minimum to try out the coaster. Our kids LOVED it so much I wish I had planned some extra time here. When we go back in the future the all day pass will be so worth it!

The Coaster ride was super fun and a little scary during the quick turns. The line was crazy long with about 40 people in front of us. It took about a minute per person for the line to move...guessing. the scenery was amazing during the ride. It was fairly easy to get on and off the ride. Im a bigger person. My husband is very tall and he fit fine. It was easy to control the carts.

Not worth the money. Paid for the unlimited ride package (4x $50) and didn’t get to ride more than once on each ride. Lines are ridiculous! Over 1 hour per ride. Waited less time for a Disney ride. If they can’t handle the business they should limit the amount of people can visit each day! Money and time wasted!

Spirit Mountain is irresponsible for overselling adventure passes and single tickets for Friday October 17th. Wait time for the Alpine Coaster 2.5 hrs and the zip line 1.5 hour plus. Terrible customer experience and will not visit again during this time of year. Spent $200 for nothing. Save your money and time. Ridiculous.

went just to wait in line for an hour, then the ride closes for an emergency, then told to wait in the 2 hour alpine coaster ride before close, then wait another 45 minutes in line to get a refund. I feel for the employees, but going just to wait in line for 2 hours and get nothing out of it sucks. wouldn’t recommend going on a saturday, or getting tickets in advance.

If you buy tickets online it's cheaper. 10 for $100. We also got free mini golf. We did the alpine coasters over and over. I am plus size and I fit in just fine with no safety issues. I was also able to do the zip line

Waited in line for the coaster for 3 hours and then when we got to the front they closed the ride due to a malfunction that lead to a medical emergency. Then they wanted us to wait in the refund line. I would not recommend coming unless you want to waste your time.

We wanted to try Grandma’s because it is a popular spot in Duluth. We loved the theme and ambience of the restaurant. There were so many things to look at! We got there as the restaurant opened, so we were seated quickly. The food was mediocre. It was nothing that stood out from the other places we ate at in Duluth. Serving was huge though! Our server was not great. It seemed like she didn’t really want to be there. She was rude to some members of our party. She gave the vibe that we should be grateful that she was even taking our order. Overall, Grandma’s was an experience. I think if you’re in Duluth, you should at least try it once. Will we come back? No.

My friend and I stopped in for lunch on our way up north and had the most amazing time!!! The atmosphere was so fun, the food was delicious (huge portions) and the service was incredible. Our server, Lisa, went above and beyond to give us everything we needed (despite us being quite indecisive). We will definitely be back!!! Thank you Lisa!!!!

We recently had the opportunity to dine at Grandma’s Saloon & Grill for the first time. Although we have frequently visited Duluth while traveling to and from the North Shore, we had never had the chance to visit Grandma’s until now. On a summer weekday afternoon, the establishment was half full. The service was excellent, and we were impressed by the ambiance. However, the food was average and somewhat overpriced. I opted for the Chicken Pot Pie, while my wife chose the Walleye.

Nice atmosphere. Trout sandwich had very little meat or substance. Chicken sandwiches looked good, not toasted bread. No refills on water. Seemed too busy to check on customers. Fun experience overall, food looked good. Fries and fried cheese were great.

Whewww…We had a great experience at Grandma’s Saloon & Grill. The wait time was minimal, and the staff was friendly from the moment we walked in. Our waiter, Brenden, was an absolute pleasure—he remembered our entire order perfectly and was incredibly attentive throughout the meal. The barbecue wings were a standout! They were perfectly sauced with just the right amount of smoky sweetness. Excellent service all around!

What a great themed restaurant with great food, service, and atmosphere. The pictures do not do it justice. This is a must see and experience restaurant if you’re in the Duluth area. My only suggestion would be to advise your guests that there are two completely different menus between the main floor and the upper level before you seat them.

This was a very pleasant experience. Our server Hannah was very nice and made it a good experience. We were really hungry and this place certainly did the job the monte cristo was good and the walleye was good too i would come here again but also wasnt something I would rave about or recommend to all my friends. Really cool location and atmosphere though.

In all fairness I was more entranced by the view of the sailboats on the water... in the rainstorm. Perfect views through huge windows ... and the gift shop cashier was so helpful and warm. Definitely recommend!

I've been to Canal Park many times over the years and finally made a specific point to stop here. So much fascinating information and history. We will certainly return with our kids!

Very informative museum. Downstairs has a movie room that shows clips on the sinking of Edmond Fitzgerald and a gift shop. Upstairs goes through the history of the lakes and all the different industries that use them. It was fascinating to see the 3d model of the lakes showing how deep they are.

First of all it is free! But I would have gladly paid a fee for this museum though. Great history of the area and of the legendary SS Edmund Fitzgerald. Some neat videos to watch in there as well. It is right next to the canal and the unique Aerial Lift Bridge, so it includes a history on that as well as some cool schematics of that engineering feat. Lots of great models of boats and ships and even actual engines of a ship. For fun you can even act like a captain of a ship at the helm. Beautiful photography as well. Before you leave and check out the canal with its 2 lighthouses as well as the aerial bridge, you have to stop by the gift shop. Prices are not outrageous and the lady that works there is one of the nicest people I have met. She even showed me the map that she puts pins in to note where people have come from to visit...as far as Africa and New Zealand! A unique experience.

I'm not associated with this place. I am visiting the area and wanted to check this place out. It's a great museum of typical ships, and the film on the Edmund Fitzgerald was a must watch.

Canal Park is located on the shore of Lake Superior and is a hotspot for shopping, dining, entertainment and attractions - like the famous Aerial Lift Bridge! We enjoyed walking the Lakewalk and seeing the Lighthouse.

Great little musuem, and the best part is that it's free! We got lucky enough to visit at a time that their biggest ship was docking and we got to see the aerial bridge rising! The lighthouse was also a plus

Genuinely speaking, if I could give negative stars, I would. These animals are not getting quality care. Nearly all of the exhibits are horrifically overgrown and unmaintained. Most of the exhibits don’t have clean or fresh… or literally any water. The cougar’s water area was bone dry, the bears had green water, the birds had mud puddles. The lion’s exhibit is absurdly small. None of these animals seemed happy at all. Most of them had zero enrichment in their exhibits. Oh! And most exhibits had no shade. It has been hot and to have no clean water or shade is neglectful and honestly abusive. If you can’t care for these animals properly, give them to a zoo or refuge that will. They all seemed so depressed. I have never been so disgusted by a zoo in my entire life.

My family and I got to see alot of animals that we have not seen at the Como or the Minnesota Zoo. This was nice because we actually got to see the animals. It looked like they were upgrading some of the exibits, and I think they could use some funds to upgrade a few more. One thing I think they could work on would be the signage. It was not real clear on which way to go for certain exibits. Overall we had a nice time.

I cannot describe to you how horrific the conditions are here. There appears to be little to no maintenance and smell was so foul. There is a reason you have to pay outside of the building. Almost every single exhibit is incredibly overgrown or it has hardly any vegetation at all. The pathways look like the weedwacker broke 5+ years ago and they didn't bother to buy a new one. There are dead trees and branches all over. Every exhibit that had water in it was gross. Most of the plexiglass was so scratched up or damaged/dirty that you couldn't see the animals. Several exhibits were closed. It appears the kangaroo just escaped? There was caution tape and missing fencing. No signage about repairs though. The signage to get around the zoo was incredibly unhelpful. I felt like the tribute statues to the polar bears, rhinos, etc. were there to tell you that it used to be a 'nice' zoo. Overall, very dissatisfied with this trip.

A fun place to visit, but definitely grab a map, the paths can be a little confusing. We enjoyed exploring for a couple hours on a beautiful fall day.

A very nice zoo with lots of animals to visit! I especially loved watching the adorable and playful river otters and the red panda! So cute! We got to see a tiger, lemurs, goats, prairie dogs, otters, a kangaroo, and many other animals. A great place to visit!

Great experience and a wide selection of animals. We came during the day in October, it was 65° and we're able to see nearly every animal that was out.

Great place to see the zoo animals and have a good family experience. Some animals did not look very active due to the size of their closure but still, you see the animals.

This is a really awesome stop. There is lake access, a train track overlook, and a beautiful rose park/ garden. I would give all 5 stars, but sadly the amount of old booze bottles, trash, and a few needles on the beach pulled it down. I would still absolutely recommend stopping here, just be careful where you step and what you touch.

Lovely park!! Great view of the lake and the garden is very pretty. The garden is mostly roses but there is a mini peony garden. Lots of walking paths and a beautiful fountain.

I love the walking trails. All of the beautiful rose bushes and trimmed shrubs. The lake views. The water fountain. The bridge that connects to Canel Park. Restroom near Parking Lot. Free Parking.

Leaf Erikson Park is right on Lake Superior just up the boardwalk from canal park. There is a beach that can be accessed through the park as well as a nice flower garden on the north end of the park. It has good views of Lake Superior and the Lift Bridge

Beautiful park beside the lake with beautiful rose beds and plenty more flower trees. Greta place for evening walks too

Beautiful grounds and trails with access to the shore of Lake Superior. Dog friendly. Lovely place for a walk/picnic. Enjoy!

Really cool park right down on Lake Superior. Art, statues and memorials dog friendly and clean

One of the good breweries in Duluth. Cozy place in one corner (with a fireplace), outdoor sitting by the patio or at the yard, a live performance stage at the other corner. This place has everything to offer. The beer selection is extensive but I like their unique selection like Oreo stout. Good selection of beer, good choices of food (soup salad and sandwiches). Though price is on the high side, the sandwich portion is gigantic. Almost guarantee taking some left over home. Their skinny French fries is pretty cool. Nice view of the lake as well, top spot by the canal street.

I went here in a Tuesday night in mid June. It was trivia night so it was very busy. I didn’t get my usual brewery. Tap room experience. Definitely didn’t have time to talk to the bartender and get recommendations on beer. I did a flight. The beer was decent. Their beer is fairly well distributed so I’ve had a lot of it before. I sat out on the patio, it’s a great building. Street parking, I’m not sure if there was a private parking lot. I was lucky enough to park right out front. They don’t serve any food, but they partner with several local eateries, and you can get the food delivered there, or you can carry in your own. Merchandise, stickers, I don’t recall they sold beer to go from that location.

Great tasty locally brewed selections. The American lager was light and crisp. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Reggae music featured when we were there. Had food delivered and enjoyed the music, beer and atmosphere.

First time in the tap house. Wide variety of drinks. Beer, seltzer, THC drinks. Atmosphere is welcoming. There is not in house food but they have QR code to get local eats.

We visited on Saturday afternoon. They were busy but we were able to find seats at the bar. The service was good and we ordered flights of beer. I enjoyed the Retro Haze, Bent Hop, Black Ale and Vanilla Bourbon Black Ale. The food truck outside (Bowlz N’ Thangz) was fantastic.

We come here every time we visit Duluth and love it so much. This is what a brewery should be. Dog friendly, cozy, great patio, great beer, and community oriented.

Bent Paddle is the best brewery in Duluth. The beer selection is always fresh with new beers and favorites. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is friendly and cozy. We go here every time we are in Duluth as it never disappoints. Great for going alone, with your family, or a group.

Gorgeous view, trails for rigorous hiking the birds are soaring up there- it's worth the climb wether by foot or in your vehicle :)

I didn’t go in the season where you’d actually see birds but the view on the way up and on top was very nice either way and the location was super easy to find. There’s also a few hiking trails which are easy to find if you’re interested. I bet, even if you aren’t in the season of the birds you’d still see a handful of other animals if you were patient.

What a great place to hike and also watch the sky for birds! While we didn't see any while we were there, the views and the trails more than made up for it and resulted in a pleasant morning. The staff/volunteers on site were extremely friendly!

Beautiful overlook of Duluth and Lake Superior. Great trails that are well marked and medium difficulty. Great for an hour or two hike or place to watch the birds.

I did not get to hike the area as much as I hoped, but what I saw was gorgeous. The view of the lake is incredible from the hilltop. I was able to walk some of the trail but was not prepared for how wet it was because of all the rain. I hope to visit this space soon to explore more.

Exquisite Views I recently had the pleasure of visiting Hawks Ridge Duluth, and I must say, it's an absolute gem for nature enthusiasts and bird lovers alike. The experience I had here was nothing short of extraordinary. The moment I arrived, I was greeted by the breathtaking beauty of Hawks Ridge. With its stunning views of Duluth and Lake Superior, it's impossible not to be captivated by the natural splendor of this place. The trails at Hawks Ridge Duluth well-maintained and clearly marked, they offer a variety of options. The trails wind through the forest on the hillside, and lead back to the scenic overlook where you can pause and take in the magnificent views. Now, let's talk about the main attraction at Hawks Ridge: the hawk migration. This place is a haven for birdwatchers, but what surprised me the most was how even non bird watchers can appreciate and enjoy this. The count board of birds is updated throughout the day. Whether you're an avid bird watcher or not, Hawks Ridge Duluth offers an unforgettable adventure. The combination of gorgeous views, great trails, and the incredible autumn hawk migration make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers. I can't recommend this place enough!

It was nice and informative to talk with the Naturalist that were there. We will see them again next week.for Raptor migration.

My husband and I did the Two Harbors Turnabout ride this week. It’s a relaxing and informative time. You get about 2 hours in Two Harbors for lunch and walking around. It’s plenty of time. My rating is mostly based in the disappointing views from the train. The pictures and descriptions led me to believe the views of the lake would be better. You pretty much see the lake in Duluth and then in Two Harbors. There are brief glimpses in other places but you mostly see trees.

This was our 2nd year going on the "Pumpkin Ride". It was so awesome. It was a beauitful day, fantastic service! Everyone was over the top helpful! We will be making this an annual event. The museum events were amazing, my grand kids absolutely love this annual trip. We highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed this train ride. Everyone was super nice. The views were so beautiful. It was very informative and super relaxing..It was pretty full of people the day we went. We had never been on this train before. I told my friends they gotta come and check it out. Its totally worth it. It was nice sitting on one side of the train one way and trading with a couple so they could see the side we were on which had the water views and we got to see the land views with the trees and houses for the way back. The trip to duluth from the twin cities was incredibly beautiful and cinematic with all the fall colors in full swing. It was the best day trip! We went on Oct. 18th. I includes a few videos of the sunset and the fall colors as well as a lake near duluth.

Pumpkin Train was fun and the kids loved moving about the train and the views from dome car were amazing. The tickets said snacks and drinks included but we only received one drink and no snacks (we had to buy them). I was disappointed in that only. Also, note that you stop at a yard with pumpkins set out - you don't actually stop at a pumpkin patch. All in all fun but would suggest NSSR to fix their wording or elaborate on services provided for dome car. I felt like $55/seat was a little expensive for a can of pop or alcohol beverage, 1 pumpkin and the short ride.

Took the 16mile Northwoods Train Ride- appx 2.5 hrs. Very enjoyable! The weather was fantastic for Oct 26th 2025 a Sunday. Train staff were friendly. Soda, Beer, candy and chips available for purchase with our general ride ticket.

This is a Minnesota Bucket List event. I went on the Pizza Ride and haven’t had this much fun in along time. This ride is very kid friendly. I stood in the train car that had the bar and open doors on it. The scenic part isn’t as good as the train ride itself, but there was some good stuff there. Spoiled with a nice warm cookie near the end of the ride tops off this little pizza ride gem, I highly recommend this. Enjoy…

Awesome train ride. Bring snacks for train ride if you have littles. Get there early before ridr starts. Awesome gift shop before you get on the train. Love the view of the water.

The Cajan Finn is hands down my favorite fish sandwich! Wow was I blown away by flavors that are incorporated into this masterpiece. It’s worth the money. Friendly staff and short wait time. This sandwich leaves you satisfied.

There is a line at all hours for a reason. The food is unreal and vibe is immaculate. Everyone who works there actually cares in some fashion about the place and the product. Pick something up from the deli or the merch wall before you go. Employees for the most part are the artists behind the many items for purchase. Get the Cajun Finn. And the hoodie. Perfection.

Food was amazing and decor was so cool with the fish on the walls. Not the easiest for handicap customers very confusing trying to get to bottom floor. Employee that was taking orders was unfriendly and not the most helpful for a first time customer. Seen this location all over TikTok that it was The Place to go. I had "The Big Dipper" had it with the porketta it was a great sandwich but the 3 Pepper Sauce was ICE cold which was a little disappointing I don't think its supposed to be served like that ... It would been a 10/10 with the sauce warm. With how high our lunch was my overall rating is 7.5/10.

Seriously tasty. I don’t know if I’ve had a more flavorful sandwich ever! Such a cool place, perfect amount of offerings. Everything they have is intentionally curated. Good luck trying to choose! Awesome location, although the parking situation isn’t great. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in Duluth!

Put in an order in advance (checked around noon - 1:30 and 1:30 were fully booked but managed to get a mid week 2 PM order in, it worked out since we were at Jay Cooke and by the time we drove into Duluth and enjoyed the lake walk area, our sandwiches were ready for us at the pickup counter, no wait). Delicious Cajun Finn - a perfect sandwich!! We also enjoyed the Italiansk though we found it to be actually more delicious the next day when the bread had softened with the oil and vinegar. The restaurant and market are in the basement of the building - head down the stairs and follow the clear arrow signage. There was a good amount of seating down there in addition to the outdoor tables.

Definitely a must stop when down in the canal center. Plenty of sandwiches to choose from and a few beers on tap and in cans. There's a counter in the back selling smoked meats and fish. Everything I got was so good!

Enjoyed my first smoked salmon cheddar melt and walked away with a boatload of beautifully smoked meats and fish - salmon candy and bison pastrami. Perfect stop when in the area!

Cool place to visit if you care about ships already. The tour was self guided, which isn't bad per se, but info scattered throughout the ship was very limited. I think either a spoken tour throughout or at least more educational signs would greatly improve the experience. At least the ship was clean and you can get some good pictures on it. Paths and directions are very clear and easy to follow.

If you drive as far as we did to get to Duluth you need to visit here, it's worth the cost of admission. 88 years old, the Irvin is solid old fashioned American industrial tech. (of all things I was super impressed by the vice in the workshop. Oh if only I could get one for my workbench!) Helpful staff are stationed at various points to answer any questions. Superlative view of Duluth from the Pilothouse. Gift shop has clean bathrooms. (They were setting up their annual Halloween Haunted House in one of the holds while we were there.) As usual, visit during the week when the weather isn't the best. No crowds whatsoever. I recommend.

Very cool! If you are at all interested in ships/history/industry/engineering, this is a great stop. The tour guides are fabulous - you can tell they really love what they do. The ship itself is really neat, from the engine room all the way up to the fancy guest quarters. I would definitely recommend setting aside a couple of hours. Great piece of history!

What a great experience. The staff was enjoyable and extremely knowledgeable. The ship was in great condition. Special shout out to Cedric, who was kind enough to share stories from his years sailing the Great Lakes. And especially for sharing the stories of his dad's final words with the "Fitz" Captain on its final night.

Ive built a cardboard model of the edmund fitzgeralds engine room for videos on my youtube channel called jason the adventure man.

Great lakes freighter that you can walk around pretty much everywhere on your own. Docents spread around the ship to explain various parts of the freighter.

This was a very neat tour. It is sort of set up in stations with a staff member at each station to answer questions and give you a short spiel about some of the important aspects of the ship, including the engine room, the mess quarters, the guest, quarters, and the pilot house. The ship is very large, but it is not very friendly for folks who have difficulty getting around because the stairs are narrow and steep, and there are lots of them. Moreover, I wouldn’t take small kids onto the ship without carrying them because many of the things on the ship are still in working order and there is absolutely no padding on all the metal exposed. Overall, I highly recommend you take the tour Dash for 20 bucks. It is a couple hours of well spent, fascinating time! Five stars.

What a great place to take the family. There is so much to see and experience. There are concert venues that take place here. Make sure to read the requirements for what you should bring and avoid bringing to the park. The views are stunning. I would assume it's dog-friendly. However, I only saw one person with a dog. Check out the lake view and the cruise ships taking off.

We love going to City on the Hill Mysic Festival each year here. Plus we have been here on opening day for Bentleyville. This park is right off Lake Superior and has a cute park and bike trails.

What a fantastic location for PRIDE! We came from out of town and found it easy to navigate, with plenty of parking and incredibly friendly people everywhere. I felt safe in the park and really enjoyed the shows at the amphitheater. My only suggestion would be to bring your own seating - it was a long, beautiful day (and got hot in the sun!), and benches or large rocks fill up quickly.

The Duluth Octoberfest was awesome. The sun came out on Saturday and made for a perfect day of drinking beer and listening to some German beer songs. The park is right on the lake and has awesome views.

Bayfront Festival Park is a very well run, organized outdoor venue. With many vendors and food trucks, and great views of the harbor, it is a very special place to enjoy a concert. There are many hotel rooms a short walk away. I have been to many concerts here and never been disappointed. My thanks to the people who are behind scenes.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bayfront Festival Park is the ideal place to soak up waterfront culture. Whether it’s watching boats drift by, catching a community concert, or gathering with friends by the shore, this park pulses with summer life and local pride. Clean, welcoming, and full of friendly faces—I always recommend it to clients or visitors looking for genuine Duluth vibes. Unfortunately bad timing for us, we learned the famous Blues Festival is taking place a few days after our visit ... . (Picture is showing the dock just in front from waterview ...)

It was a fun play area with a variety of things to do for young kids. My kids ages 2 through 8 still weren't bored after an hour and a half when we had to leave. Had I not read reviews I probably would have been slightly disappointed, but my kids had a great time and I knew what to expect after reading reviews. I also would have been hesitant to pay the full amount for what was there. But we have the ASTC museum passport (highly recommend) So it was free admission. Note that this is a new location so some of the pictures online are outdated.

This place is just ok in my opinion. It wasn’t very big so it got crowded quickly. You can tell it’s getting old and used a lot. Could use some updating and cleaning. Everything seemed sticky and gross. We were staying in Duluth and wanted to give the kids some where to run around, but we were better off going to adventure zone by canal park. Not my cup of tea but if you don’t mind throwing some money away it’s not a bad place to check out.

Used to love this place, I have a three-year-old who loved it there and a one-year-old who really enjoyed it as well and we spent a lot of time their last winter! However, last few times I went it was just full of completely unattended older kids who were taking toys from toddlers (mine included) and being way too rough. I was really disappointed in the staff's lack of response, they should have spoken with the parents it was absolutely ridiculous, and we haven't been back since. I have a membership that I will not be renewing this year. Enjoyed the artistic activities and display's but they need to create some better boundaries especially with how the building isn't that large for how many families come in the summertime.

Loved this perfectly sized children’s museum. It’s compact but it provides hours of fun for the kids. There is a craft room and an infant play room as well. Right in the festive Lincoln Park neighborhood as well.

This is more of an indoor play place - similar to other places I've been to that call themselves play cafés - than a museum. When I think of a children's museum I expect a place with lots of exhibits and space, a place you can make a whole day or afternoon of moving from one section to the next, with a big gift shop. This place is mostly one big room with different corners of play, and your experience is greatly affected by who else and how many other kids are there at the same time. With that said, my 2-year-old had an absolute blast! If you need a break but need to keep your little one entertained and busy, this will do the trick. But if you are looking for a fun day out that the whole family can enjoy, I would recommend going elsewhere. We were only in Duluth for two days. The day we went here we debated between this museum or the zoo, and if you're in the same boat, I'd suggest the zoo.

From the outside it looks a little questionable but don't judge the book by its cover. The inside was great for kids and one of the best Children's museums despite how small it is. The staff were friendly and more engaging than others. Lots of cool stuff the kids can interact with and do. Great for kids under 10 and some activities were fun for adults to engage with their kids.

This is a fairly small children's museum with play area on two levels. There are many toys and exhibits to play with featuring local culture. Museum is orderly with friendly staff. There is a gift shop attached. Food is allowed but only on the first level. Large clean family restrooms. Exhibits are mostly design for ages 5 and younger. Good parking in two adjacent parking lots and on Street. $9 per person admission. Good place to spend a rainy afternoon.

Took my 6 year old to a "movie" about possible alien life. It was definately for kids. It was about 30 min long. It was free. Totaly worth it. Parta of the movie felt like ypu were flying. I thonk the experience heavily depends on what they are showing. Staff was freindy and the place os pretty cool.

Looking for on offsite excursion during our 3-day 4th of July visit to Duluth this year, we opted to try the Planetarium at the College. Having fond memories of field trips in my youth to the one which used to be in Downtown Minneapolis, I figured that I would bring the family to the one in Duluth during our stay. What a mistake that was. After purchasing tickets and going into the planetarium itself.. I was surprised at just how small it was and how the seating was laid out. After choosing some seats in the middle.. we sat for a bit waiting for the show to start. While we were sitting, a couple of us were joking that it felt like the AC was broken. Unfortunately – once the show started – the host informed us that it indeed was. Yay. When things got going, we were told that the show would be broken up into two parts: The first being and overview of some constellations and their legends/origins and the second part being a demo of what that nights sky would like using the Star Scope / Projector device in the middle of the room. Instead of covering traditional legends and origins during the first act, they opted to cover lesser known stories from Chinese, Native American, etc. cultures. Unfortunately, these stories were not very interesting from what I could hear as the host wasn’t much of a public speaker. Combining those two items along with a full room of people in a small room with no AC in July.. I noticed a few people had dozed off (as was I on the verge myself). After the conclusion of the disappointing first half of the program, I figured we could salvage this visit with the Star Projector and the view of the night sky. Sadly, that didn’t happen. The Star Projector failed about 5 minutes in and the host spent a good 10 minutes or so trying to figure out how to get it going again. I was getting up to leave by this point when another member of my party gave me ‘the look’ and told me to sit back down. We watched the host fumble with the Projector and her laptop for a bit – but she was unable to get it going even though (I thought)– she had mentioned being the one in charge of the place. Unable to get the Star Projector going, a blurry view of the night sky was eventually brought up using a laptop. I’m by no means an expert at identifying all constellations but can typically identify a few. With as blurry as the laptop-projected-sky was.. I was unable to identify anything up there. For context, it was so bad that I had a hard time seeing the big dipper even after it was pointed out. When the ‘show’ wrapped up, we got the ‘thanks for attending and tell your friends pitch’. As bad as things were with the lack of AC, defective equipment, uninspired content.. I thought that refunds would be given on the way out. That was not in the stars though.

Get yourself over to this planetarium! Had a private show and was not disappointed. My group had the best time and Jessica was an amazing host the whole time! Please go for a show and see some seriously great shows!

The 2 o'clock show is for children! Please put this on your website. Other than the screaming kid it was cool.

Fantastic planetarium! They have shows for all ages with cozy seating and friendly staff.

Affordable and great experience for kids to learn about planets. I learnt so much about stars as well

Great classes and shows!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! My friends and I stopped here this morning on our way into Duluth and I’m so glad we did. The atmosphere was perfect, although it was super busy when we arrived , we were able to get seated fairly quickly! The cleanliness of the restaurant was a HUGE plus , each and every staff member/waiter was so welcoming! To top it off the food was incredible! The Barbacoa has was filled with so much flavor! Can’t say enough about it 🤍 also the farmers eggs was the perfect breakfast for my morning! 10 out of five stars! ⭐️ best part about it is breakfast and LUNCH served all day!! Plates were all beautifully presented!

Duluth Grill is a great place to grab some breakfast. They have a nice sized menu with takes on classics as well as some of their own special dishes. They even make most things on their menu from scratch even down things like their ketchup and lemonade. We tried quite a few things, and while the cinnamon roll was on the sweeter side it was still moist and fluffy. Everything else we have was very very fresh and not greasy at all. The main thing to note is the wait times. On average you may wait anywhere from 30mins to over an hour for a table depending on party size and where you want to sit. Definitely a must stop for anyone in Duluth looking for a good breakfast.

The Duluth Grill was worth the 40 minute wait! I would definitely plan ahead if you want to eat her during peak hours. We had a party of five and we all had something different. Everybody raved about their food. Service was outstanding too! The standouts were the barbacoa hash and the brussel sprouts.

While it’s quite busy on the weekends, it’s worth it. Great food with local Minnesota North woods flair. There is also a fantastic tea bar with specialty drinks. I return here whenever I’m in the area and I’ve never been disappointed. Great skillets, hash, and burritos (the Billy Bob is out of this world) for breakfast and brunch.

Lines are long but it is very easy to see why. The food is fantastic, easily the best chicken sandwich of my life. The server (Vera I think) was absolutely fantastic and was extremely careful with allergies. Cannot recommend enough!

Everything here was amazing! Good service, food and drinks came out quickly, and everything tasted great! If you come on the weekend be prepared to wait for a table, but they do have counter seats readily available.

Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025; 11:45a (Veteran's Day) The restaurant was treating all Vets to a free meal... simply fantastic! On order was the French Toast and 'Everything' skillet... the holendaise was superb on the skillet as were all the ingredients, fresh, tasty and not too much sodium. The French toast was beautifully plated and scrumptious! Service was above and beyond. The menu has been reduced but most of the favorites remain. Patience is a virtue while restaurants navigate finnicky patrons.

Apricot wheat was awesome. The fog burger was pretty good too. Poutine was hearty! Good service and lovely ambience.

Had the rice ‘burger’. Was soooo tasty. Ended up mixing the cherry with about 1/4 sour. Great balance. Helper sever, nice environment and outdoor seating if you chose that Highly recommend

The wild rice burger is a perfectly unique dish for such an iconic building. I highly recommend allowing some time to explore the rest of the complex before/after your meal.

The only thing bad was that the Elote wasn’t served in a bathtub, and I couldn’t eat it fast enough so I burned my mouth. Highly recommend! Elote, Wild Rice burger!

We stopped into the Brewhouse on a Friday afternoon for lunch and were seated and served right away. We ordered the Brewhouse Burger and the Fish and Chips — both were absolutely delicious and exceeded our expectations. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out quickly and hot. The cozy, laid-back atmosphere felt perfectly in tune with the Duluth vibe. Great experience all around — we’ll definitely be back!

Stopped in the try a beer as recommended by our daughter. The Big Boat Oatmeal Stout was excellent. The artichoke dip was spicy but just how I like it. Wife enjoyed her root beer and took a couple crowlers home to enjoy later. Staff was helpful and extremely pleasant. Definitely will stop again on our next trip to Duluth.

The place is great, the food is delicious, but Trisa's and Morgans service is something truly special, something out of the ordinary. Thank you to her for her excellent service.

Such a cute space with the friendliest service ever! You know you've found a good bar when they have comfy, inviting chairs and well made drinks. Thank you to all the staff who walked around our dog to serve drinks 🤣 lol. She loved laying on the floor next to the bar and getting pets (even though she is side-eying me in the photo). My only recommendation is to make the menu a little more upscale looking instead of beach bar. I think it would fit the vibe inside more.

My wife and I were exploring Duluth and found this Gem! I got a flight, and my wife got a cocktail! Here is how it went... The flight... The Ovrevann Aquavit- Which was smooth and very aromatic The Voyageur Aquavit- Tasted very much like your normal spiced whiskey with a different kick Hay and Sunshine- Warm and smooth, I really enjoyed it! Temperance River Rye Whiskey- Smooth with a nice spice, hard to describe taste, bitter but in a good way! My wife got the "Airplane Mode" - a very tasty, spicy banana, vanilla, sweet cocktail that went over very well! I also wanted to shout out the service, friendly, easy to talk to staff, and the place just felt clean, light, and cozy! Thanks for a great experience!

My family loves to visit Vikre every time we are in Duluth! We love the large drink menu using our favorite base spirits! We always get the snack box too - Perfect pairing! Vikre is our favorite gin and our “house gin” at our home bar.

We have been to several distilleries but never a gin and vodka one. This was an interesting place. We started with sharing 4 tasting samples and liked the strawberry rhubarb gin the best. We also tried two of their specialty drinks, the lavender lemon drop martini and the raspberry whiskey smash. Both were really tasty. Finally, we ordered the Northen waters smokehaus epic snack box. It came with smoked salmon and trout, nordic chips, cheddar cheese chunks, a cheese spread, almonds, olives, pickles, and peppers. It was ok but not worththe moneywe spent on it. Our server was not very attentive, and we had to keep asking others to help us as our table was not in the main room but off to the side with no one else around. We did leave with a bottle of the strawberry rhubarb gin.

Spending a mini-moon here in Duluth and stumbled upon Vikre. It is definitely a must stop if you're looking for a great cocktail and vibe. The snack box was delicious. The Lavender Lemon Drop Martini and Strawberry Rhubarb Gimlet were delicious. Atmosphere is relaxing and service was great. Our Server Raina was the absolute best!

Fantastic distillery with a wide array of options and a fun atmosphere. Lots of great cocktails to choose from, as well as many flexible options for tasting flights - even give you some lime and tonic and soda water in case you want to turn your gin tasters into G & Ts! Fun to try their assortment of gins and aquavits, especially enjoyed their three herbal liquors - smoother takes on Campari, Chartreuse, and Aperol. Update - after only doing a liquor flight during our first visit, had to go back and try some cocktails! Very unique and well-crafted, especially the root beer foam in the Tragedy of Prohibition and the fusion of pineapple, coffee, hazelnut, and lime in the Tropical Goth. Fantastic notes of raspberry in the Last Word as well! Also went for the Frenchie flight - especially liked the blackberry in the Briar and the house apertivo in the Velo.

This is a beautiful stop in Duluth. The decor is classy and relaxing. They have a creative and diverse drink menu, including a nice selection of NA drinks. All their food options are snack sized, but enough for sharing between two people. Their vegan snack box is amazing! The staff was fun and knowledgeable. Lastly, the quality of the products were top shelf and worth the price. Pictured is the vegan snack box, whiskey flight and seltzer flight. I would have taken all their liquor selections home with me if I could, but I could only pick two. The Frenchie seltzer and the Aquavit were my choices, and they did not disappoint.

4.5 only because the restaurant was freezing. This was our first time to visit Canal Park Brewing Co. I would choose this over Grandma's Saloon any day. The FISH AND CHIPS was the perfect recommendation from our server Natalie. Fish fresh from Superior, battered and fried perfectly! Crispy outside and juicy inside. All the sauces are fresh too and tasty. The spicy chicken wrap was also delicious and a perfect blend of flavors. The beer was good and cold too. What a unique place. We'll be back for sure!

Nice little brewery right on the lake. I had great, quick service. I had the bowl of chili as it was one of those windy beginning of fall cool days it it hit the spot perfectly. Was nice and chunky and had just a touch of heat. Then I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and it had a perfect amount of heat for a chilly day. To drink I had a strawberry mango lemonade Arnold Palmer. It was perfect.

Our visit to Canal Park Brewing Company was quite enjoyable. While the indoor setting was what you’d expect from a typical brewery, the outdoor area made great use of its lakeside location. The service was attentive, and our food arrived quickly. We tried the Mac and Cheese with beef brisket and the Reuben with potato soup on the side; both dishes were delicious. What really made the dining experience was the Swedish Cream dessert, which was outstanding. We would gladly return for another meal.

Canal Park Brewing Company has a really great atmosphere with a fun vibe right on the lake. It’s a nice place to grab a drink and enjoy the view. That said, the food doesn’t live up to the price point. A $20 hamburger just wasn’t worth it, and overall the value didn’t match the experience. Worth visiting for the atmosphere, but not for the food prices.

The few times we’ve been in Duluth, we always stopped here because of the food and proximity to Canal Park. I decided to take my visiting family here, so they can enjoy the view and food as well. This visit, we got the Nashville chicken sandwich and bulgogi bowl. My family had fish and chips, burger, and mac and cheese. My brother and dad got pints as well (I forgot what it was!) Everything was delicious! We did not wait long for our food. Also, our server was so amazing and nice. I think her name is Christine? I am so sorry I forgot! She always checked in on us and made sure we got everything. We will definitely go back. Highly recommend!

Great place for lunch in the Canal area close to the scenic walkway on Lake Superior. The outdoor patio was in a fantastic location and the beer and food was great. The Nashville Hot chicken sandwich, buffalo Mac and cheese were fantastic. The beer cheese soup and dry run chicken wings were great appetizers.

Ty was our server and he was great. Super engaged and responsive when either my wife or I had any questions on there beer. We are from the PNW and love our beers. Food was absolutely amazing. We had just gotten back from a lovely kayak trip out to the Apostles Islands and were certainly ready to eat. Between our son and the two of us we had a variety of options and we all were very pleased. Highly remind!

Just had the BEST Q outside of Texas! Beginning with the complimentary fried rinds and an explanation of the various sauces, every item was prepared with perfection! Our server, Sarah was exemplary! Husband had brisket and ribs. Tender and flavorful. I had the burrito bowl and I highly recommend it! Sides were tasty blends of complimentary seasoning as well.

Food was excellent! Great taste, flavors we’ve never had before, nice portion sizes. One of the owners, Louie, stopped by our table and we enjoyed hearing a little about his story. He was humble and kind. We received wonderful service and felt well cared for. We would definitely recommend OMC Smokehouse to friends and family and will definitely be back when we are in the area.

My sister and I went to lunch at OMC smokehouse on Friday, September 19, 2025. We were in the area and wanted to get a nice lunch. I read the reviews online and thought this would be a great place. The ambience of the place was great. Our host that seated us was very nice. Our server Sarah was absolutely wonderful. But the food was not so great. I ordered the appetizers - pork belly lettuce wraps and the beef fat fries. My sister ordered the burrito bowl and the barbecue wings appetizer. While the pork belly had a great flavor, it was the consistency of leather. Very dry and chewy. I did not finish eating the appetizer. I did mention this to our server Sarah. The beef, fat fries, while having wonderful flavor, were very limp and soggy. The burrito bowl, while having great flavor, the rice was nothing but mush. Again, the barbecue wings had great flavor, but were a little dry. We only ordered water for our beverages. We did bring home the extra wings and the extra beef fat fries (hoping we could crisp up the fries in an air fryer, but that didn’t work out so well). I guess I expected a bit more for a $80 lunch (not including tip).

This is the place I keep coming back to whenever I visit Duluth. The BEST brisket in Minnesota, it’s so good and tender that it melts in your mouth. The St. Louis style ribs are also the best here. If it’s your first time here, I’d recommend the Smoked OMC Plate, you’d get a bit of each of their best dishes (ribs, brisket, and smoked chicken). Personally, I prefer the ribs and the brisket, so we just get a full order of those. The sides are delicious. The mac and cheese is a must. The candied sweet potato bake was great as well, but it was too sweet to have along with the other dishes - I had it as more of a desert dish. The potato salad was also really good and I recommend, and nothing can go wrong with the corn. Highly recommend OMC Smokehouse!

Amazing food, staff were great, very cool interior and atmosphere. The bar-b-cuban was amazing and suggest trying it. The Louisiana catfish and chips were delicious! All the sauces are great and had to buy some to take home! Love to try old fashions every restaurant I try and theirs is delicious and one the best I've had in a while!

BEST experience, all the way around! Brisket was flavorful and DELICIOUS; dipping sauce options were varied, house-made, and tasty; my dietary-delicate husband was able to get a phenomenal burger on a gluten-free bun; sides were unique and mouthwatering (I tried the hush puppies, pecan-topped sweet potatoes, and my husband's fries); and the drinks were excellent - SO MANY bourbon options! We requested to sit on the patio. It was peaceful and the atmosphere was stellar. I cannot recommend this place enough. If I am ever in Duluth again, I'm going back to try the pulled pork. My only complaint is that it said on the menu that gluten-free buns would not be an additional charge, but they did charge us a few dollars extra for it. I think because we told them not to worry about cross-contamination? Lucky for them, everything else was 6/5 stars.

Had the chance to head to OMC with a friend last night. We were greeted by the friendly hostess who complimented my 2 piece outfit. (Thank you, love!) We were seated quickly indoors around 6 pm on a Thursday evening and got a lovely server who was very attentive all evening. The atmosphere was nice and not too loud even though it was fairly busy. Our drinks and food came out fast. We ordered 3 dishes to split. Nashville hot chicken sandwich w/ beef fat fries: the fries were a 10/10! Flavor was amazing. Excellent crunch with a nice soft inside. Could have eaten a million of these fries. Sandwich was 5/10. Wasn’t super flavorful, bun was a little burnt, chicken wasn’t super juicy. I would recommend their sister company Chicken n What for a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich instead. 3 smoked wings with dry rub with ranch and bleu cheese: 10/10 SO GOOD. Crispy on the outside. Soooo juicy on the inside. Dry rub was delicious. Ranch and bleu cheese were both amazing! Sweet Chili Crispy Chicken Wrap w/ Mac n Cheese: wrap was 8/10 great flavor. The pickled jalapeno packed a ridiculous spicy punch that we were not expecting. It was good but woooo chile, it was a kick in the tastebuds. So be prepared. Mac n cheese…2/10. Pasta was cooked well, but the Mac and cheese just lacked flavor and depth. I’m not even sure my kids would have ate it. The cheese they sprinkled on top wasn’t even melted. Overall a good experience here! Will definitely come back for wings and to check out the outdoor seating when the air quality is better. Loved that they had a fire pit out there. They also do not serve THC beverages which is a total bummer, but Legacy Cannabis is right across the street!

The food was good however not spectacular. I had the red snapper ceviche and the pork belly sandwich for dinner with a black sesame cheesecake for dessert. The sandwhich was amazing but the fries were plain.The ceviche was watery (if that makes sense) but still good, and the cheese cake was average. The wait staff was incredible however and I would definitely go back.

This place was excellent! It’s a little hidden and you have to go through the market entrance. The salmon was great and I think the portion was perfect for me. I also got the carrot cake for dessert and it was super rich and dense. Super delicious spot for dinner!

I've not left a restaurant with such a deep understanding of its city like I have with Lake Avenue. Duluth's urban renewal is charming in the same way a childrens' soccer match is, in that there is an earnest attempt regardless of the result. The same cannot be said about Lake Avenue. A rotating menu will always be bold, and I would have commended them for this had the execution not been so poor. In the images I've included, you'll see the Tofu Masala ($24), the Mac and Cheese ($20), and the Steak Dinner ($53). While I cannot be certain which ingredients were used to push these dishes to such a steep price, I know salt was not one of them. The keen-eyed gourmet will undoubtedly spot the great unifying force of the culinary world, fresno chili and pickled red onion. The unnecessary inclusion of these in both the Tofu Masala and the Steak Dinner unfortunately speaks truth to Lake Avenue's attempt at being something it is not - a restaurant worthy of its prices. Neither the Steak nor Tofu Masala benefit from these flavors, but if your menu is on rotation and you lack the culinary experience to accommodate this, it does provide a universal shock to the palette that might distract your guests from the dish's lack of cohesion. In other circumstances, I would not be so harsh, but the $120 (pre-tip) bill my partner and I paid makes that irresponsible. This is Duluth, Minnesota; leave Lake Avenue, walk 20 seconds in any direction and you'll wind up in a T-Shirt shop or a Bar & Grill. Lake Avenue is not fighting the expectations of its patrons, but the ones that it sets upon itself. Find what works and do it well. No one is asking for anything else.

Our visit to Lake Avenue Restaurant & Bar was truly enjoyable. We stopped by during a quiet period, so we were seated right away. One of the owners, who was both friendly and attentive, looked after us. We tried the Biscuits and Gravy (without the chili oil) and the Carrot Cake French Toast—both dishes were outstanding and unlike anything we'd tasted before. We're certain we'll return in the future.

Very nice setting, the atmosphere was wonderful. The food was great, and the drinks were also amazing. I highly recommend the Hurricane. Rio was our server and he was very polite and had a good sense of humor. I will be coming back here in the future.

Visited there the first time today. The hostess greeted us warmly and had a nice welcoming personality. Our server Maria was very nice and pleasant and answered our questions. The food..holy cow. We had the steak tartare, mussel pasta and the steak. Everything was outstanding! We will definitely be back!

What a chef! Some of the most flavorful food I've had in my life, and that is no exaggeration. I can be a harsh critic, and this food was phenomenal. Definitely a bit spendy, and the portion sizes are smaller than you typically see at restaurants, but you aren't paying for the amount of food. You're paying for the quality and flavor. I will absolutely be coming back. We spent about $150 for one appetizer, two entrees, and a few drinks. We had a reservation, which I would recommend since it's not a very large restaurant. Wait staff were very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was top tier. 10/10 experience. Thank you Lake Avenue!

Took the train during the Grandmas Marathon with my Mom and Dad to watch my wife run. It was amazing. The crew on the train exceeded all expectations. It was an amazing experience.

The Depot is NOT what it used to be! With the Art Institute gone, the Children’s Museum gone, the art exhibits gone, The Duluth Playhouse gone. The stage in the great hall is walled off. All the character, uniqueness, art, and the community vibe is gone. Also the half moon wooden desk at the entryway is gone. It was a unique community building and now it’s been taken over by the county and everything has become somewhat uniform and dull. Hopefully they can bring back the artsy artistic creative colorful community vibe that used to exist. Good public bathrooms, very clean. There is a women and men’s bathroom on the main floor and then half the woman’s has been cordoned off for a gender neutral bathroom space. Train museum is still very cool. To access the train cars themselves you have to go up 2-3 steep steps or a small flight of wooden stairs. Just something to keep in mind if you have mobility concerns.

The Duluth Depot is an awesome and historic place to visit for locals and tourists. The summer months are great to visit especially when they have Thomas the Train during the month of August every year, and really cool during the Christmas holiday when they have the Christmas train leaving Fitgers and arriving at the Depot! Plus, the added bonus, the eerie bit awesome spirits that are in the Depot at night I believe as seen on "Ghost Hunters" on TV.

Such a cool piece of history on its own, but there also several high quality museum exhibits which are totally free to view. I highly recommend stopping in.

Very impressed! First off, the ticket agent asked if I might be a veteran, I told him I was. He informed me that happily the policy had been updated and families up to 5 members can visit for no charge when with a veteran. Thank you for that honor! The museum was great! Two teenage girls spent over 2 hours exploring on their own! It rained 5" the day we were there, and we never cared. A great place!

Very nice museum. Lots of stuff to see and you could spend the whole day looking at the trains. Would definitely come back again!

The Duluth depot is a very historic building. It was constructed in approximately 1892 when Duluth was the railway hub of the north. When you go down the stairs (where people went to board the trains) there is a very impressive railroad museum which allows you to go in a variety of different historical railroad cars.

I like this tiny little casino! The staff are really friendly considering how cold it gets here sometimes! Dang that wind off the lake can be killer! There’s handicapped parking, entrance and door ways and an elevator to upstairs.

It’s an ok casino, only slot machines. I feel like this place pays out much better than black bear. All the employees are friendly. They do pretty good with what they have. Those homeless people who stand outside and ask for change EVERY SINGLE TIME. I would say they are out there 9out of 10 times.

They have really made the place look nice but machines are very tight. The design of the new machines are such that one person hits but the 50 people that played prior can't get a line hit or a decent bonus. The casino is smoke free. I am OK with that. I can go outside to smoke. However; I went outside about 8 PM and there were about 9 or 10 homeless people lpotering. Did not feel safe. I think that is they are going to be smoke free they need to offer safe options for smokers. Until they do that, I won't be Beck. Their reasoning for smoke free is for the health and safety of staff and guests. Getting mugged or assaulted outside their casino will sure affect their safety ratings. Just sayin'....

I had a decent experience here. The casino was cleanly and the staff were friendly which was nice. There were a lot of homeless folk outside and the location isn’t great, especially after dark. Otherwise, no complaints.

The experience here varies, some nights. It feels like it's the greatest place on Earth! Other nights. It feels like the staff just don't care. Accept the maintenance people, they're exceptionally, polite and friendly. Say hi to them because they're good people.

All 5 of our group had backpacks, security let 4 of us in and told the 5th that backpacks aren't allowed and to leave, separating our group, we lost our last group member who has autism for hours, this place is awful. no idea why 1 out of 5 backpacks aren't allowed.

The outside was crawling with homeless people wandering up and down the streets asking people like myself for some money. I think they were renovating the casino because there was scaffolding all on the front of the building. It's a very beautiful part of Duluth but the community seems over run with vagrants and hard drug users. I wouldn't recommend checking it out alone or at night time.

Hoops Brewing is very close to canal park and has a large taproom with a large variety of beers on tap. If you like German beer this would be a great place to checkout as there are many German style beers on tap. A 3% discount is applied if you pay in cash. Additionally the pints are imperial size (20oz) so you get an additional bang for your buck with their prices being similar to others charging the same for 16oz.

Was the best brewery we tried in Duluth. Located inside another building, so not really easy to find, but once inside, the atmosphere is great. Probably had the most options and styles available for beer that we had experienced in Duluth (we had just been to Ursa and Bent... Hoops was better). Easy to read boards, and easy to classify beers. Many options.

When I'm at Hoops, it feels the closest thing to home out of any brewery I've been to.(Across the country as well!) As a long time patron, I am always amazed by how unbelievably kind the staff is during each visit. The beer selection is great with such high quality. The staff and atmosphere really set this destination brewery apart from all the rest. Cheers Folks and Keep up the GOOD WORK!

Hoops Brewing is several of my local friends favorite brewery. They are inside another building but offer a great atmosphere, have a fair amount of space, and friendly service. They are regularly rotating their beer selection. On my stop they had 20 beers on including: Black lager, 2 Pale ales, UK Pale ale, Brown Ale, Maibock, cream ale, Helles ale, Roggen, Kristalweizen, Dunkelweizen, IPA, Champagne IPA, English Porter, Chili Ale, Pure Guava, Apple ale, and a Maple Lager. Everything we tried was really good and I will be back next time I am in town.

Good beer and cool atmosphere! My only complaint was the male beertender working around 7:00 on 7/10/2025. He was very indifferent and seemed annoyed we were there! We were sitting at the bar and were there for the first time. He walked by us a few times on a slow night. He ignored us and when he finally asked us if we wanted a drink he had a strange look like we were an inconvenience to him! It's a shame he had to ruining the great atmosphere!

Fantastic atmosphere. Beer hall + board games galore. You can order flights in any number and they come in the most adorable little glasses. Unique beers - we loved the Wood Smoked Hefeweizen (no. 99) and the Chili Pepper Ale (no. 325). No food but they have lots of bar snacks and locally made Bavarian pretzels. Family friendly, helpful staff. Already looking forward to our next visit.

The beer is delicious and they indulged me in trying a black and tan using their raspberry wheat that I petition should be called a Raz-N-Tory. It is amazingly delicious.

Great selection of ciders. The cider slushies were amazing! It was nice that you could get them with a flight, so you could try them. All the ciders were tasty and fresh. Good food as well. Staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Great indoor and outdoor seating available. The atmosphere was chill and cozy. Great place to go alone, with your family, or with friends.

Fantastic experience. Get the flight to experience multiple flavors. None of the cider’s are too sweet, even the apple. My wife got the classic dry and loved it. Come here to relax with good tunes on the radio and a good atmosphere being able to relax. Also, great job by the bartenders explaining the different types of ciders.

This place was awesome for families! We came there later for just the ice cream- delicious ice cream sandwich and soft serve. They had a GREAT play area for kids up top for a brewery... It was probably 10x20 with lots of toys that my 5 & 1 year olds enjoyed while we hung out. I assume their food/drink is good but we didn't get any.

Nice spot with good drinks. Dog friendly but only during certain seasons. Hard to enjoy when you drink outside alone

Cider bar in a downtown scene with a large patio and plenty of free, nearby parking. They offer a wide variety of unique flavors and what seems to be a revolving flavor of slushie. The staff is friendly and personable and worth a 5 star review themselves! What separates this space is the community aspect. I stopped in during a "Plant Swap" complete with vendors and plant enthusiasts! It's such a great space, and I'll definitely be back while I'm in town. Special shout out to the Pineapple slushie!

Just wow! We passed through this place on the way to Ursa Major Brewing and it seemed like there was a trivia going on. We came right after the trivia ended and found ourselves delighted by the cider options. We tried 2 different flights and most of the ciders on the menu including the bourbon and each was very unique and delicious. We also ordered a pretzel which came with our new found favorite dip Top the Tater! Date of visit: December 29 2022

Loved it here- great family friendly atmosphere and good selection of drinks.

Nice way to see the city! It was smoggy from the wildfires so we didn’t have the clearest views. We purchased tickets ahead of time which I would recommend, though tickets can be purchased right across the street. Departure and arrival times were spot on. We sat up top, it is not at all shaded, so be prepared to need breaks down on the lower levels if it’s hot and sunny (90+ when we went 🥵). Full bar was available, water was free. It was hard to hear the guide from the top level, either she was too quiet or she was right on the mic and everything was muffled. When they tell you not to remove chains to go up and down sets of stairs, they mean it. Mind blowing how many grown adults were asked by staff to follow the rules after they were explained, witnessed several get stuck downstairs after letting themselves down from the upper level. There is a capacity they have to keep track up so if they don’t see you go down you can’t go back up. However once we got moving, they do remove the chains so you can’t get up and down freely.

My husband and I just did the Grand Sightseeing Tour on the Vista Star. We absolutely loved it! It was so very informative. Bill did a fantastic job narrating and dropping in some humor as well as offering up so many facts about permanent points of interest as well as ships currently in the harbor. The entire staff was phenomenal! This boat tour was the highlight of our visit to Duluth and we'll definitely do this or another tour option next time we visit. I very highly recommend going on one of the many tours that Vista Fleet has to offer.

This is a great tour with excellent narration about the history of the harbor and the lake. I took this tour in the 1980s, the 1990s, and most recently in the 2024, and it's always been great. On our latest tour, we saw the Arthur M. Anderson (the ship that was out with the Edmund Fitzgerald the night it went down in 1975) come into port. We also saw the largest freighter currently on the great lakes, the Paul R. Tregurtha (a.k.a. "Queen of the Lakes").

We had a great time on the Vista Star in Duluth Harbor. Although the weather was rainy and very windy and it was too choppy to go out on Lake Superior, we had a very nice and informative tour of the harbor area. We got to see some big boats up close. The crew was great!

A great experience! It took the exact amount of time they said it would take. Left on time and arrived on time. Our tour guide wasn’t very factual, so if you’re looking for facts maybe fact check… they have drinks that are expensive but it was worth it!

We had the 90 minute tour for our ride. It was a very nice medium sized cruiser. I understand from others that the bigger ships and longer rides are Awesome. Would do this event again. Enjoy…

The service on the boat was horrible at the bar three employees working and a line of 10 people took 5 minutes to get a beer. The boat itself was really a fun ride and the guide talked a lot about the area he was very good but difficult to hear as most people were inside because of the weather. Ordered a few times not one time did the server at the bar even thank me.

It is very pretty there. The locals told us that there was a lot of damage done to the peonies and roses this past winter but we thought it still looked very pretty. Great area for a picnic. Plenty of parking. We enjoyed our visit and definitely recommend it!

Loved visiting here! It wasn't too busy on a Wed. Evening. Walked down. To the beach through the woods, a few people seemed to make it their home, laying on the benches and having a tarp on the beach for a tent, but no one bothered us. My niece went swimming until in the bay and had a wonderful time! So many different roses, with lots of different scents, but beware of bees! They didn't sting but they too loved the roses.

we didn’t visit during blooming season, however the grounds were kept very well. Beautiful even without the roses. The lilacs were a definite favorite with strong aroma that I love. The video attached is from beach right next to garden. Rose garden offers many walking trails.

Serene and beautiful. I just loved walking through the gardens and seeing the different varieties of roses. They were all so beautiful

Always a nice stop to overlook Lake Superior without all the crowds of the canal. I try to visit a few times from Spring to Fall to watch the blooms change with the season.

Beautiful garden! I went August 5, and so many roses were blooming. Beautiful view of the harbor as well.

Beautiful and peaceful. Restrooms are available. Food truck, e bike rental as well

We visited this walk way twice on our vacation travels. It is exciting to see the ships going through and walking along the water. It is a place that I recommend stopping if you are in the area. The building is also worth exploring to see the historical items and learn about the ships and how they pass through the area.

Good paved bike trail. Some spots are a bit rough from roots. Good board walk for walking. Good view along paths for enjoying Lake Superior!

Beautiful location it was nice view of Lake Superior and a relaxing walk. Would absolutely love to waste days out here.

Nice brisk evening with a bit of rain to reflect light images. Board walk was spacious & lots to see of the lake, ships, lift bridge, & of course, Duluth, Minnesota. Night life was busy in common area as everyone out for dinner, numerous choices.

Enjoy a beautiful view walking along the shores of this beautiful place. Feel nature and let yourself go for a moment.

Such a cool location! This was a spur of the moment stop but we were quickly enamored by the bridge being lifted as a massive cargo ship went through! This place also apparently had a live webcam you can watch on YouTube!

What a neat little area, we enjoyed the water front very much and after walked through all the little shops and can’t forget the chocolate factory! The only down side was that the temperature was about ten degrees and the whole area was packed with people. We also got to watch the lift bridge go up and a ship come in. All in all good experience and would totally recommend

Love Creamery is a must-visit for ice cream lovers. They have an incredible variety of unique flavors, the Goat Cheese Honeycomb is a standout, perfectly creamy with sweet crunch, and the Salted Chocolate Brownie is just as amazing. They also offer plenty of vegan ice cream options with vegan toppings, plus homemade waffle cones and even ice cream flights, which are a fun way to sample it all. The shop itself is bright, clean, and welcoming, and the staff couldn’t be nicer. A Duluth gem that combines creativity, quality, and great service.

We waited in line for a while, but once we reached the counter, it was nice to see that they offered samples of their flavors. They don't have the usual options like plain strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla, but the flavors they do have are really tasty. I ordered two scoops of the apple crisp, and I have to admit we couldn't resist and started eating before snapping a picture. It was delicious, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're in town. The customer service was great too. There was a gal working there in a red shirt who wasn't even the one helping us, yet she still took the time to talk and ask where we were visiting from. I also really liked the décor; it added to the overall experience.

So insanely good - highly recommend getting a flight. Easy to share between two or three people. We got a flight with: * Salted Caramel (gf) and fall 2025 seasonal flavors: * London Fog (gf) * Chokeberry Chip (gf) * Cinnamon Snickerdoodle (gf) * Apple Crisp (gf) * Goatcheese Honeycomb (gf) Our favorite was the goat cheese honeycomb hands down (sweet but a lil savory) So insanely tasty! Second fav was London Fog which tasted JUST LIKE the drink! All the other flavors were good too, just hqrd to compete with how exceptional those two were. Staff were efficient and professional - line moves quicker than you’d think!

Flavors and textures. Can't complain. Salted caramel and dark chocolate would be my top 2 out of the 6 I had. Ordering the flight, i expected a sampler portion. And not a feast 😅. Also when they say you can sample to pick your flavors. They are not kidding. They will let you try them all if you must. (Be warned)🤣

Friendly. First time visit to this location in Duluth. Late night snack. Didn’t realize they closed at 9pm. Staff gave no indication it was closing time which was very nice. My waffle cone had chocolate at the bottom which is a great bonus. Enjoyed the Butter Toffee and a scoop of Pistachio.

What a wonderful, unexpected find! The shop is adorable with indoor and outdoor seating. or take your delicious treat and stroll 2 blocks to Lake Superior! The flavors were inventive and each was more delicious than the last! The service was fast and the staff was cheerful. if you love ice cream at ALL you need to try this!

This ice cream shop produces its namesake. You'll love their ice cream. The prices are reasonable and the flavors are great. This is my go to in Duluth.

Beautiful beach! Love looking for rocks on this beach. Took my husband and I about 3 hours to walk from the air port to the point! Long but totally worth it!

This is a great area to walk on in long beach. There are also paved trails to walk. We arrived on a Thursday afternoon and it wasn't crowded at all. But it was extremely dirty! In addition, you can tell that they do not keep up the park. The paved paths were overgrown with weeds. It was disappointing that the city doesn't take more pride in such a beautiful area.

Rated one of the best beaches in the country for a reason. With beautiful soft sand and excellent views of the lake, this beach is a must visit year-round.

A bit crowded but overall nice. It would be good if there was a better place to change than the few restroom stalls as we had not considered that before coming. Still good to have that and a shower to wash off at even though that also seems quite small compared to the size and busyness of the beach. Still, at least it is all free!

This sets the tone of your Northern experience. For the North Shore this is as good as it gets. Sunny days are better because there are not many of these around here.

It's incredible and uncrowded, but the woods nearby are full of poison ivy.

This beach is listed as one of the USA’s top 25 beaches for a reason! It is the world’s longest sandbar, and you can wade out really far. The water is crystal clear, there are bathrooms in the beach house, and there are lifeguards. My family goes to this beach as much as we can in the summer.

3 stars only because the alpine coaster was a lot of fun... However... We arrived at opening and there was only one staff person at admissions and the process is so long we waited almost 45 minutes to get in with approx. 5-7 families/couples in front of us. While waiting in line we bought tickets online (& created accounts and signed waivers) which helps when you finally get to the desk. DON'T bother with the mini golf. There's a reason it's only $5 and they don't show any pictures of it online. 9 crappy holes that made you not even want to play.

We went Memorial Day Weekend, opening weekend. We were on site before 11AM and bought wrist bands online. It was great for 4 adults and 3 children from 9 to 14 years old. The Timber Twister is a favorite but had complications so only rode twice. The zip line was exhilarating and a good introduction to ziplines for those who have some fear (400lb limit), my child enjoyed the jumping pillow and the adults liked the scenic view from the chair lift. Bikes appear to be available on site to try the bike trails. There is a bar and grill near chair lift as well for food and relaxation. Has two bathrooms inside the ticket building and some Porta johns outside. Parking is in two areas.

Went there for the coaster. It was a fun ride with good views. I would recommend getting a gopro or a phone clip as you can not have it while riding. Cons: There were too many people. There's no limit on how many will ride it in a day. Went there friday, and it was overbooked already, so we had to change our ticket for saturday even though we bought it online. Then we went there on opening at 10 am on Saturday, and there was already a long line. By the time we got on and left, the line stretched all the way to the parking lot 😅. I've been on other coaster rides, and they have hourly tickets. Only 15- 20 people can go in one hour, and they come in that time slot. This could improve, so waiting times is not so long.

We had a blast on the coaster ride. It was a little freaky on the quick turns. It felt like the back was popping up. It was VERY scenic and beautiful! That in itself made it worthwhile. We bought our tickets online at 4:30pm and they closed at 5pm. We were about a 6 minute drive away and the line was massive. There must've been at least 20 or 30 people in front of us. It was at least a 30 minute wait to get on. The ticket office and snacks building closed at 5pm but they still let everyone get their rides.

The rides are fun but doesn't matter if you pay for tickets online or not - you still have to wait in line at the main counter to get the physical ticket. The putt putt area is a joke and not worth it lol but everything else is fine :)

We were so excited to come here for a beautiful fall day! Upon arrival, it was pretty busy and parking was quite limited. There was an incredibly long, slow moving line to purchase tickets and sign waivers. There is a sign to scan a QR code to do this online (don't bother). Unfortunately, they do not inform you that a printed ticket/waiver is required, so we trekked up a big hill for the chairlift, waited in line and were told we needed to go back down to get printed tickets. The line was ridiculous. Very unorganized. No clear signage. We purchased tickets for the alpine coaster but didn't even get to do so because that line was 3 hours long. Thankfully the weather was perfect, but standing in line that long felt wasteful, especially after a 2.5 hour drive there. While we understand it was a gorgeous, warm day and many people were there, the lack of communication was frustrating as was the lack of organization. We heard several folks in line also express frustration; many ended up leaving despite paying ahead online. The chairlift was nice and the view was very lovely, but it didn't make up for the rest.

We loved the mountain coaster my son could of rode it all day long if we left him!!! The views on the lift were amazing!!!!!

The food was delicious and the service good. The view is usually spectacular. I would have given 5 stars, but the last two times we've gone they've been out of the gnocchi, which is what I planned to order. I would highly recommend the gnocchi and beef tips (if you're lucky), or sub for the shells with San Marzano sauce and beef tips (close second). My husband loves the carbonera. Will be back, but will probably call head, even with reservations. Fingers crossed I can get the Gnocchi the next time we go!

10/10 highly recommend. The BEST Italian I’ve ever had except for the food I ate while traveling in Italy. Absolutely delicious food, great service, and stunning views. Don’t forget a scoop of gelato to go. I would go out of my way to eat here again and again! Be sure to plan your visit in advance, a reservation is likely needed - especially if you want to sit in the lofted area overlooking Lake Superior.

We were recommended by several people in Duluth to try Va Bene, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointing experience. To start, the host could have been more attentive. I understand they were very busy and I appreciated being seated as a walk-in, but when I arrived, I stood waiting for a couple of minutes. Another customer came in after me, and the host helped her first before finally noticing me. We were seated at The Grotto, the downstairs patio overlooking the lake, and were told we could only stay for about an hour. For drinks, we ordered a black coffee, which was warm and not good, and a Purple Rain (lemonade with lavender syrup), which was average. The food took over 30 minutes to arrive. We ordered the Pasta Alla Zucca Violina (butternut squash with creamy pecan sauce) and the Spicy Erbe with sausage. The sausage was the only ingredient we enjoyed. The squash pasta was undercooked—far too hard, leaving my jaw tired from chewing—and the sauce was overly sweet. The Spicy Erbe was okay, but again the pasta was chewy, which ruined the dish overall. In short, it was one of the worst Italian meals I’ve had, and though the view was nice, the food and service did not live up to the recommendations.

My husband and I were visiting Duluth for some downtime together after me having multiple surgeries over the course of 5 weeks. We did not make reservations but they were more than willing to accommodate us for lunch. We got to sit out on their little closed in patio and look out over the lake. The food was freshly made, hot and delicious. Our waiter was top notch and was very attentive while we were there. It's in a good location and we will definitely visit again when we come back.

Va Bene has a beautiful lakeside setting and a menu with both hits and misses. The burrata with tomatoes, pesto, and focaccia was excellent, the pesto especially stood out. The Noce e Pera pasta with candied pear, walnuts, and gorgonzola sauce was also delicious and well-balanced. The meatballs, however, were disappointing…small, dry, and lacking flavor. The Preferito della Casa pasta was also underwhelming, with chewy chicken, overcooked noodles, and a balsamic sauce that overpowered the dish. Service was a little slow but staff were pleasant, but overall the food felt inconsistent.

Va Bene is absolutely incredible!! Will was are server & he was on top of his game the hole time, food was amazing atmosphere incredible, we sat in the solarium amazing venue & the veiw was amazing looking over Lake Superior, we will be back, bring you empty tummy & fillip on the absolutely amazing food & drink.

Noah was our server and he was very friendly and professional! The enclosed deck was very cozy with an amazing view. The food was delicious and the gelato is worth getting multiple scoops

We have been here a couple of times and it is great each time! Their entire menu is delicious- they have home made pasta, slow cooked porchetta, and delicious salmon. Their beer is great and they also have wine and cocktails. The building is very interesting and it’s been fun to look up the history. We can’t wait to come back and try more menu items!

We enjoy checking out new places and knew we had to check this place out once we found it on Google. The parking was hard because the building has multiple uses, but the building and atmosphere are top-notch! As others have stated, the wooden menus are cool but harder to use. Thankfully, it has a decent selection of different options. All the food had good flavor and the presentation was nice. The prices are a little on the higher side compared to portion sizes. Service was friendly and professional. I also liked how open everything is, and that shows how clean they keep it. We enjoyed it and will most likely be back when we're in the area.

Tried Clyde’s for the first time yesterday evening… The entire experience was five stars , the atmosphere was amazing and customer service was second to none! Bill the bartender was on top of his game giving awesome advice on drinks and the new strip steak …OMG was the best steak I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy ! I had to stop the owner even I was so impressed. Loved it so much we’re stopping back this evening !

We had our wedding ceremony and reception in the main event center and wow it was stunning! Also, clyde has awesome catering - the food options are great and it is all delicious! We loved the pasta bar. We have gone to Clyde for breakfast and dinner before and loved it so I'm not surprised their catering is amazing. This building is stunning and has cool history. If you want to create a elegant, warm, fun, industrial atmosphere then look no further. I would highly recommend having your wedding at the venue. I loved all the spaces (getting ready suite, main event room, and overall layout). Just book here! You won't regret it!

Great food and cocktails! The atmosphere is pretty cool and the staff were very friendly.

Took awhile for hostess to come to the front and see us waiting but the food was pretty good and a unique experience with the history of the building. The service from our waitress was on point. Only thing i wish was that the menu actually included prices for the meals. Always nice to know.

Went on a Saturday evening, Ana was our server and was an absolute blast to have as a server. She was respectful, easy to talk to and knew the everything about the restaurant. She gave us an excellent desert for our friend’s birthday and served us beers in a timely fashion. Would absolutely go again and have Ana as our server. We Love Clyde Iron Works!

The location of this place is excellent—you can grab your ice cream, walk down the stairs, and enjoy it by the lake. However, the long line was mainly due to the limited number of staff and slow service. The ice cream itself was quite average, lacking any distinctive flavor. The malt, in particular, was overly sweet and didn’t live up to the hype. Overall, I think this place is overrated

Looks are deceiving! This shake looked amazing but tasted horrific and artificial. We ordered a strawberry malt, and you would never have known it was strawberry except for the color. It was painfully sugary with a weird crunchy sugar texture that made it hard to drink. My husband and I are both ice cream lovers, and yet we couldn’t even finish it — we threw a $12 malt straight in the garbage. Very disappointing. Would not recommend.

The Portland Malt Shop in Duluth had a huge line, but the experience was a bit mixed. We tried the pistachio and almond ice cream with coffee malt, which was good, and the mocha almond fudge with strawberry malt, which was overly sweet. The malt portions were large, but I’m not sure they were worth the wait or the price. However, the stunning view of Lake Superior behind the shop made it a nice spot to enjoy a malt.

I've always seen this little spot, but it was never open when I was around, so when I saw this open by chance I turned my car around and found a parking spot asap. The employees are helpful and patient. The building is tiny and cute, and the Malts are THICK and delicious! Really, really good!😋 The scenery is beautiful, as behind the shoppe, is Lake Superior, and just to the right of the building is direct access to steps that connect to the Lake walk. So glad I finally got to come here, I'll be back, and I'd say it's definitely a spot to hit if you're visiting the area.🍨

The gal recommended her favorite which was banana chocolate peanut butter to me and it was fabulous! My girlfriend got strawberry marshmallow which was also amazing, you can taste the real strawberries.

Fantastic ice cream with lots of choices. Malts, shakes, cones, etc. The view is pretty awesome too.

This place needs some efficiency training! 50 kids waiting on a hot day and over 45 minutes in line, while at least 3 of the 5 teenagers staff stand around inside….not worth the wait! Please reevaluate your ordering and delivery system to allow for kids and families to enjoy your ice cream!!!! We won’t be back.

This is a great brewery. Street parking can be a little tricky, I’m not sure if there’s a private parking lot in the back. Ample outdoor seating, a lot of indoor seating, huge beer selection. It’s counter service so you wait in line. There’s no bar seating which I prefer at breweries. The pizza is great. They bring you a pager and you hold it up and get your pizza they sell beer to go, they have merchandise and stickers. I actually left my messenger bag in my beer journal here and was lucky enough to retrieve it the next day. Dog friendly on the patio. Super cool vibe and of course the beer is fantastic, so is the pizza. It’s on the west side, close to warrior brewing and bent paddle brewing. A couple cideries in the area as well.

Ursa Minor is one of the best spots in Duluth for beer. We tried the Caprese pizza and it was fantastic the thin crust was perfectly crunchy with pesto and balsamic glaze that made every bite delicious. The soft German pretzel was huge, fluffy, and perfect for sharing. Highly recommend adding the garlic ricotta spread, it was excellent. For drinks, I did a beer flight and loved it. The Kölsch was crisp and refreshing, the Citrus Mistress seltzer was light and fun, and the Galactic Face IPA was the standout favorite. Phenomenal beers across the board. The dog-friendly patio with heaters makes it a great year-round hangout, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful. Definitely a must-visit in Duluth.

Large variety of beers on tap, which is really nice. Gotta love the balanced hazy IPAs. We are obsessed with the pizza. The dough is something to be admired. It's somehow all together chewy, light, crispy and soft. Usually we get a simple margarita pie just to be able to better taste the quality of the crust and the tomato sauce. Pizza perfection 👌

The pizza and the beer were both incredible. Love the outdoor area; it was a beautiful evening. I can't remember all the beers we tried, but every single one was incredible. The pizza was the one with the wild rice sausage - 10/10. Easily some of the best pizza I've had. The staff was amazing, too! I will certainly be back next time I'm in Duluth.

AMAZING experience on a fall afternoon! We had a flight including: Sauna 10/10, Blackbirds & Blueberries 10/10, Prickly Bear 8/10, Breakfast Ball 10/10! The wood fire margarita pizza was 10/10! Great staff! Highly recommend!

we really enjoyed the model of this establishment where it was a seat yourself, clean up after yourself, order at the counter, laid-back type joint with lots of outdoor seating and a kid friendly space. The food was delicious, the kale pizza was our favorite!The smoked trout salad came with a large piece of fish and could feed for adults easily. The flight of beers was also a great option to try them all!

Cool spot with outdoor heated patio for dogs. Had the interstellar face slap ipa which was really good! Service was good. Had food available but didn’t eat!

Didn't go into the stadium, but was there for a baseball tournament. Some of the outer fields are super close together. They did NOT clean the jimmy johns ever, so saturday mid day it was so piled high, one could not use the potty for fear of one's butt touching the disgusting pile.

Love this place. Mostly because it's home to my favorite baseball team the Huskies. The staff is always nice and helpful. It's always a good time.

First time EVER that I went to a baseball game! It was fun, not too crowded. Hamburger and potato salad was okay, wished they had fries. I would definitely go again!

I’m not a very experienced baseball fan, but after being at some other local baseball venues it’s pretty awesome! Parking is convenient and plentiful. The stands are covered, which is really nice when it rains. Plus, the stands are pretty clean. The outdoor portable toilets are gross, but let’s remember... they are outdoor portable toilets. They’re always gross. I’d definitely recommend Wade Stadium and am excited for our next baseball game there.

Fun place to watch ball games. Could open a concession stand on the same side of the stadium as the ball league games.

Pretty dated and could use a major update. But, still a great atmosphere and a fun place to catch a game

The game was ok. The chicken sandwich was terrible and the hot dogs were gross. Need better selections.

I’m not a huge beer fan so a little disappointed they didn’t have a seltzer option like most breweries do today. They had a coffee infused cider that I ended up trying. It was pretty sweet for my liking. I don’t think cider was meant to be infused with coffee.

I love visiting this street in Duluth because of the two cideries and a brewery right in a line. Duluth Cider has some really unique flavors that aren't all fruit-forward. In the fall and winter I love the options with warming spices. They have a super cozy indoor space and some nice spots outside. I was super happy to see Crow & Co. Booksellers there last time I stopped in!

Great cidery, plenty of options, dry and sweet, for flights and pours - something for every palate! Especially enjoyed the unique coffee cider, Las Lajas.

I LOVE ciders, and this place is heaven! Traveled 4.5 hours to try it out! Totally worth it. I definitely brought a bunch to take home! They have a cider for any taste from sweet, to dry! I was so nervous to try the coffee cider, it was NOTHING like i excepted. It was light, crisp, sweet and fantastic! Literally a coffee cider, amazing! I'll definitely be coming back to restock! 100000000/10!!

Absolutely amazing experience. Plenty of seating, plenty of different styles of cider to choose from, plenty of different flavors to experience. The stand-out was definitely Greenstone (hopped, semi-dry)-- bright, crisp, effervescent spring in a pint. We spent 6 hours here-- probably would have stayed longer, but we had a long drive ahead of us.

Excellent craft ciders, with a wide variety from sweet to dry. Flavored, spiced, and my preference, pure dry cider. The barrel aged in cognac barrels was very interesting. Superior Dry is an everyday sipper. They had 2 hopped ciders, both apple forward without the hops overpowering them. They added something, and paired well with stir fry noodles. You're allowed to bring your own food (I did). Friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Duluth Cider is my favorite cider. Tons of flavor in each variety and lots of options sweet to dry. I’ve enjoyed the Trivia Mafia on Mondays and the fact that you can bring in food to eat.
