Best. Place. Ever…read more Well, maybe not ever, but when it comes to the kid inside - it sure as heck is! I would not recommend bringing your child here unless you plan to buy stuff! I went here specifically looking for a gift for our daughter and found a whole slew of things she would love. We had to settle on just two items, but I know if she were there she would just about explode from the excitement. As has been mentioned, things range from less than a quarter, to the more expensive... But overall, there is a huge selection, and even the tightest budget can walk out with a bag full of things! Looking for ideas for someones next birthday - just peruse around here for a while. You will be sure to find something unique that no one else will be getting them! (unless they followed this tip too....)

We were on a hunt for a toy to play in the hotel pool and I was determined not to go to CVS or…read moresomething. This place is AMAZING for any kid!!! Luckily, the kid found a tiny plastic shark she wanted (instead of a water blaster or something extravagant). However, I found even more items that I wanted!!! I purchased a roll of safari animal stickers that are on a roll inside a cardboard house. (I know, right?!) Plus, a heart shaped hole punch. There were puzzles, stationary items, stuffed animals, toy cars, gag gifts, and so so so many other things! I could have spent all day there. My reason for 4 stars is because I asked the clerk a question about the stickers that were taped up under a shelf (if they were for sale and how to purchase them) and she was pretty snotty about her answer. So, a bit pretentious. But the items are worth it!!!

ACES on FIRST is AWESOME. This is literally the BEST place in Downtown Duluth, I think. The staff…read moreis so friendly, they alway ask how your day is going and over the years I consider them to be my BEST friends. Honestly, they've been there so much for me in the past (when no one else was there, they were) that any one of them could ask me to help them move a heavy ass hot tub, and I would in a heartbeat. The owner, Cade, is THE shit. Just look for the tall guy with the sweet hair and badass button up shirt and you'll know him when you see him. Best part is because he's so cool, all the people he hires to work for him are cool, thus the people that frequent there are cool, so by going there YOU are COOL by association. It's like one big cool club and everyone's invited. The amount of romances and babies that have resulted from ACES ON FIRST is probably what keeps the population of Duluth above the 2.1 children-per-woman needed to prevent a society's extinction. Do yourself a favor and pop in Aces. I know that when I die and I enter the white light, on the other side I'm going to emerge into Aces. Heaven IS a place on Earth...and it's called ACES. BTW Thank you Aces for directly hooking me up with he woman I'm in love with right now.

I can't think of anything they could do to make it better…read more Our first escape room experience was Prison Break and we had no idea what to expect. After we were all put in orange jump suits and handcuffs our guide told us there are safeguards so that you can leave the room(s) at any time if you need to. Bathroom emergency, fire, claustrophobia... Large green button on the wall to press and you are free. Not part of the game, obviously. But what a relief! I had been starting to freak out! The time we spent here was so exciting and super fun! We did make it out with a little more than two minutes to spare. There were 7 of us in the room out of a possible 8. I like that the groups are kept small. My two teens and I were paired with two young couples who were friends. We all worked together and every single one of us contributed to our eventual escape! Great memories! Afterwards the guide took photos of us to post on their website which you can download and save for free. Bonus!
