8 Things to do Adventurous in Duluth That You Shouldn't Miss
Perfectly positioned at the westernmost tip of sparkling blue Lake Superior, Duluth offers visitors a true escape from the stresses of everyday life and an opportunity to enjoy nature. You can opt for a more leisurely pace: spending time at one of the city's 23 beautiful parks, taking an unhurried drive along the scenic North Shore, bird watching at Hawk Ridge, skipping stones on the Lake with the kids. Or go for a more structured itinerary: the aquarium in the morning, lunch at a sumptuous restaurant on the waterfront plus a tour of the famous Sculpture Walk, then a visit to the historic Railroad Depot in the afternoon. Either way, you are sure to leave Duluth feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Just happened by Lake Superior Art Glass with the open air windows and watched Jake make a memorial vase with a someone's loved one's cremated ashes...WOW...so very cool! We've been to the island of Murano in Italy and can attest to how professional and beautiful their hand blown glass creations are! They are 1 of 2 glass blowing companies in the nation that allow people to make their own memorial so when we go back in October, we're going to bring some of our precious little chihuahuas' ashes and make a paperweight! They offer classes too so what are you waiting for?! Support this awesome small business!!

Solve entertainment is one of the two escape room brands in Duluth. Solve provides the more challenging and immersive adventures and changes their themes more frequently to provide ongoing entertainment value for people who frequent Duluth. Their style varies from standard escape room experiences because the game master is a more active participant in the experience as an overhead voice of a child in the babysitter room (that had a bit of a dark twist the further you get) and a headquarters detective in the Christmas themed silent night room. Both were fun and challenging and included puzzles of all types including logical, seeker, spatial, abstract, and easy but time consuming for example which gives everyone in your group of all different experience and ability levels an opportunity to participate. The rooms are very difficult for just a couple, but possible for an experienced duo, but 4-6 is a nice number. This review was written during the time of the covid pandemic and solve has definitely thought carefully about how to approach safety and health. The escape experience is entirely contactless where a line leads you to a lobby where only your group is. There are additional colored lines that lead to the rooms themselves and restrooms. The game master joins through the TV from a nearby isolated room to explain the rules and game. Solve also provided masks, sanitizer, and gloves for participant use.
8. Zero Hour Escape Rooms
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,297 reviews
You are trapped in a room. But it's not an ordinary room, it's a real life adventure game designed for small groups of friends, families, co-workers or strangers. You look around and begin to notice strange objects and messages - or are they clues? - scattered around. Can you and your team solve the puzzles, figure out the clues, find the key, and escape the room? You'll have to think on your feet: our games require you to think your way out, not break your way out. You have 60 minutes, so be quick!

It was a great time and way to get my employees to communicate better with eachother. I think it really bought members of my team together plus the enchanted forest was amazing full of clues and kept us on our toes the whole time.
