Stunning house and grounds. We didn’t have time to do the house tour but were able to enjoy plenty of the gardens and grounds. There is something for everyone here. Cafes and restaurants ranging from quick bites to more formal meal. Winery, working farm and shops. Endless hiking trails with gorgeous views. Multiple parking options and also shuttle service from farther lots up to the house. They also have special summer grounds pricing for kids!! So worth the stop.

Great museum and needs more attention! Museum is on beautiful grounds and has so much history in itself. Great exhibits and very friendly staff. Plenty to see on the surrounding grounds as well. Tank garden a big favorite with he kids. They are doing a special event for the 80th Anniversary of D-Day so check that out if you can. This is a must see museum!

Just a few minutes from Duluth, right on the water. A must stop for sure. We did not go inside the mansion, but enjoyed the grounds. Worth the $5 to explore the beautiful lakefront. You can still get up close and personal with the main house and in addition see the carriage house and boat house. Gardens are in fabulous conditions and Fall is certainly a gorgeous time to see this old beauty. I imagine winter is equally as beautiful.

In town for the Motown Classic hockey tournament and found this gem of a mini-golf course! Deceptively challenging holes, which certainly adds to the fun and laughs! Golf Center is large with huge driving range, pro shop, snacks and even pizza at certain hours. Great outdoor activity and most importantly super friendly and helpful staff!! We went back twice and they always asked how the tournament was going! Will definitely be back when we are in town again!

Can’t beat the location and views. Super fun mini-golf course in heart of the park. Chicago themed holes are cool and not to overly challenging for the kids. They offer discounts for teachers, AAA members, seniors and others. So much better than cheesy suburbs place!
