Duluth Minnesota Tourism At a GlanceBest Time to Visit Duluth Minnesota
Summer is beautiful up here because you can do so many activities outside around Lake Superior. The fall colors are breathtaking and the leaves start changing in early to mid October. A lot of our summer activities are from May-October, so if you want to enjoy them come in between those months when the weather is nice. Snow moves in quickly and winters up here can be pretty frigid, but if you do like the cold there are a lot of outdoor events you could do such as ski/snowboard, ice fish and even participate in the polar bear plunge.

The Glensheen Mansion, owned by the University of Minnesota Duluth, is a 39 room mansion that offers a dramatic slice of life at the turn of the last century. The 7.6-acre estate includes a museum shop, a carriage house, a boat house, formal gardens and meandering pathways- all on the shores of Lake Superior. Take a tour any time of the year to experience this gorgeous mansion. The Great Lakes Aquarium and The Lake Superior Zoo would be a fun destination to take the kids to pet freshwater stingrays or to see snow leopards and kangaroos. The Duluth Children’s Museum would also be a good place to take the kids, or if they wanted to do a little more physical activity, The Vertical Endeavors Indoor Rock Climbing Facility located close to Canal Park, would be perfect. The Superior Whitewater Rafts/Sea Kayak Tour & Rentals located on the St. Louis River in Carlton (15 miles south of Duluth) would be a fun experience for the family to enjoy the wild wet fun of whitewater rafting. No experience needed, and trips run daily from May to September. If you are looking for some winter fun, Spirit Mountain is the place to be.

The Minnesota Ballet’s Nutcracker, Dec 11, 2009 to Dec 13, 2009 - Next Month
World premiere of Allen Fields' New Manhattan Nutcracker!
Category: Duluth Theater event in Minnesota
Description of this Duluth Event: You won’t want to miss the world premiere of Allen Fields’ Nutcracker set in New York City in the early 1900’s, complete with Edwardian costumes, a lively historic Street Scene, the Party Scene in an elegant Manhattan townhouse, the Snow Scene in a snow-capped Central Park reminiscent of a Currier and Ives print.
There are all the characters you love, plus the spice of a few new ones. Uncle Drosselmeier, an eccentric toymaker, arrives at the Stalbaums’ holiday party, producing a puppet show and bearing gifts he has made in his hometown of Duluth, notably a soldier nutcracker for niece Clara. Brother Fritz and Madeleine, the Butler’s daughter, are immediately jealous of the gift.
Later that night, a battle begins between toy soldiers led by the Nutcracker and mouse warriors led by the Mouse King. Masks cannot fully disguise the resemblance of the Mouse King to the Butler or three of the warriors to Fritz, the Butler’s wife, and Madeleine. The battle turns against the soldiers, but with Clara’s help, the Nutcracker triumphs; and the pair goes on a magical journey to wondrous places of whirling snowflakes, gorgeous cherry blossoms, and waltzing flowers costumed with a Degas look. And you’ll want to see who emerge from Mother Ginger’s enormous skirt! It’s all to the glorious Tchaikovsky score played live by The Festival Orchestra, sponsored by UMD.
This new production was made possible by major funding from:
ICO—Inter City Oil
St. Mary’s/Duluth Clinic Health System
Depot Foundation
