Are you turning MLA into a family affair? If so, here are the three places my family visits A LOT during the year. These three places all charge to enter. If you plan on making a return trip to Duluth within the next 12 months of your visit, a season pass might be an affordable option for you. -- Sunshine Carter, UMD, Reference & Electronic Resources Librarian
Great Lakes Aquarium: A little pricey (kids under 3 are free), but a good place to get out of the cold and learn a bit about Lake Superior. Bring an extra set of clothes for your young lake explorers who will have the opportunity to navigate their own boats through the entire Great Lakes system.
The Duluth Depot: The Depot (as we Duluthians call it) houses a wide variety of organizations. Children would be most interested in the Duluth Children's Museum, Lake Superior Railroad Museum and the Duluth Art Institute. My two year old boys love the train museum with its variety of retired train cars and a large toy train table. Admission rates include access to all three. Children under 3 are free.
Lake Superior Zoo: Our zoo is on the upswing. A very easy zoo to maneuver. Stroller friendly. The primate/nocturnal building is a highlight for my family. Playground equipment in the middle of the zoo offers a break from walking around. Children under 3 are free.
