Spring is a delightful time to visit us in Duluth.

The air is fresh, the birds start to come out, and no matter what the weather does, Duluth’s attractions are open and ready to welcome you. Shipping season in Duluth opens on March 25, heralding in the season, and bringing back one of Duluth’s most popular pastimes; shipwatching.
