About half of the building is dedicated to a very educational museum about the ecosystem of this region, the native peoples who live here, and how they were impacted by the fur trade. Upstairs is a rotating art exhibit about the region. You can climb the winding staircase to the upper tower of the building (or take the elevator) so that you gaze upon the wetlands and forests nearby. There's a 3/4 mile boardwalk that takes you though the conifer forest, sedge march, and grassy fields where you can take a rest on the benches and animal watch. Lots of red wing blackbirds were there with their recognizable calls. Very educational.

Overall the staff were nice, it had some nice trails in the area, and there was a cool lookout at the very top. They also had a "night" hike that same day so we came back later in the evening for that. Unfortunately, the sun was only just setting, so we didn't get to experience a true night hike.

Step inside and you'll find model ships, vintage engines, and stories of brave crews who battled the big lake. Kids will love the hands on exhibits, wheels and buttons. From the museum windows you can watch boats glide through the canal. It's Open year-round and a perfect stop for families and history lovers.

From the top you get a full 360° view of Duluth, including the aerial lift bridge, which was super cool to see. The tower's only a few stories high and has rails to help with the climb, though it's not ADA accessible. Along the way, we also learned about Mr. Enger and his impact on the city, plus Duluth's special ties to Norway. Definitely a neat little stop! Not to mention there was a Japanese Zen garden and a few trails.

TWO lighthouses, breakwater, the 1905 Army Corps of Engineer building and of course, the amazing Aerial Bridge. Sculpture gardens, lots of restaurants and retail shops and hotels. The Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center looked interesting but was closed at the time of day I visited. And I was hoping the bridge would open but it didn't happen during my visit. Note that it gets VERY cold here because of lake effect weather. Be prepared. [Review 17895 overall - 115 in Minnesota - 1416 of 2022.]

The walk-in sites in general are all amazing, you're secluded from everyone else but still close to the amenities. Site 83 is about a 4-minute walk from where you park your car.

The bathrooms are also very nice, but they are some of the busiest bathrooms I've ever seen! There are plenty of hiking trails as well, a great visitor center and gift shop, and it is an all around lovely state park.

I'm not super experienced at camping, but the campsites felt quite close together to me. Compared to other places we've been, the sites are much less private. AMENITIES: 5/5 The amount of water spickets and bathrooms around the site were great, and the showers/main bathroom facilities were nice! STATE PARK: 5/5 We loved walking a bit of the state park over the weekend! The suspension bridge is super cool, and it's really fun to walk on and explore the unique rock formations along the water.

She was able to minimize the cost by finding the best deal between flights/tour discounts while maximizing our time by recommending the optimal flight schedule between countries with sufficient time for customs. She reacted quickly to last minute changes in our plans and was able to reconfirm everything. As we live in a different State, they did an amazing job of coordinating everything with all of us. They were extremely prompt to answer every email and answer any questions on the phone. When we ran into potential issues getting home because of a pilot strike, she was already ahead of us in contacting the airline to check our status and gave us a number to call anytime if we ran into any issues. I will 100% use Sue and Travel Leaders for my next vacation!
