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.

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.]

I might be biased, but my very favorite thing to do here is attend the annual Trampled by Turtles concert in July. We've gone every year they've done it. There's something about the lake, the night air and the backdrop of Duluth that makes it one of the most magical experiences ever. Of course, there are other things you can do here -- see a different concert, go to the All Pints North beer festival or a million other things. The venue is big and open, which means it can be used for a lot of different things. The facilities are nice (though at big events you're usually stuck with portapotties) and the staff generally is pretty cool. Always a plus for an event when I see it's at Bayfront.

The bathrooms are also very nice, but they are some of the busiest bathrooms I've ever seen!
