“Ships!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2012 NEW

Loved watching the ships come into and leave the canal - they glide by silently until the blast their horn and give us all a thrill. Love the shops, the history, and the museum as well. We planned every day around the shipping schedules so we could watch them come in. Fun! More

“Visit Canal Park”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2012

I had no idea what Canal Park would look like when I researched Duluth. It is a shopping area with restaurants and hotels too. The Maritime Museum is there right by the Aerial Bridge. It is a fun area to walk around and explore. More

I hadn't been to Canal Park before, but we visited today. It was so charming and quaint, a real small-town feel, clean, fresh, and just lovely. Would love to spend more time there in the future. More

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 April 2012

Born and raised in Duluth I have vivd memories of exploring the Canal Park district when it was nothing more than an industrial area. Duluth has done a wonderful job in re-creating the area into an inviting, exciting, attractive destination. Great shopping, resteraunts, attractions and sites. Do not miss it! More
