Bought full mansion tickets at arrival. Much busier than anticipated. Could easily spend several hours enjoying the mansion and grounds. Beautiful place.

My mom and I recently visited Glensheen. It was my first time visiting and I enjoyed every second! We toured on a rainy day in December and something about the weather with views of Lake Superior paired beautifully with our tour of the mansion. A gorgeous tour with an interesting history at a reasonable price!

Husband decided on last minute trip here for whole family to experience. This house is my "happiest place on earth". Absolutely rich in History, exquisitely furnished and built by Congdon family, and maintained by the U of M. We're lucky to have this in our beautiful state.

Glensheen Mansion was super cool. The history inside the mansion was interesting, and the area outside was beautiful. The Christmas lights around the mansion was a nice Holiday touch.

It gets busier once the sunsets, so if you don’t want to wait in line for too long Id suggest going before 3pm, though the holiday lights wont get turned on until about 4:30.

My daughters and I had a fun excursion today to the Glensheen Mansion in Duluth, Minnesota! We took the full, five-floor (3-floors plus the attic and basement), self-guided tour on an early Sunday afternoon. The flow of visitors through the mansion was well timed, so our visit didn’t feel crowded nor rushed. The mansion and its furnishings were well maintained. In past summer and early fall visits we have enjoyed walking through its well kept gardens. Today, we enjoyed all the festive Christmas and holiday decorations! ❤️

I've been coming here for over 30 years. It's holds a special place in my family's heart. No matter what season you come it's amazing. Take the full mansion tour of coming for the first time. Read all you can as its fascinating. Christmas is gorgeous and not too far from Bentleyville.

When visiting Duluth, this is a MUST-SEE place to go! In the many times I have visited, I feel like I see new things every time. From the newly restored garden terrace to the gowns and dresses from the era of the Congdons, there has been something new and fascinating each time I’ve been. Tiffany Tiles and Glass to ornate wood finishes inside the house, winding and beautiful walking paths towards the lake and creek. This property is truly magnificent!

Always recommend allocating at least an hour or more to admire its true beauty and hidden gems!

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.
