Plus, you can upgrade at the hill to 8-hour lift tickets for only $5 more.

At Spirit Mountain, you can ski and snowboard all day long, but for those who’d rather not ski or board, there is also:

  • A year-round alpine coaster
  • A year-round zip line
  • and a 6-land Snow Tubing Park (opens December 26th)

They even offer extended Christmas hours so you and the kids can burn off all that pre-Christmas energy. Just in time to save a little cash, group rates are available for families too!

Every year, this effort takes hundreds of volunteers, thousands of strings of lights, and it results in a steady stream of happy spectators who wander through the annual light show now at Duluth’s Bayfront Park.

Experience the magic of the Christmas season with nearly 3 million lights. This holiday light show comes to life every evening throughout the holiday season. The light show is accompanied by music and a giant tree.

  • Bring the family
  • Bring the camera (because there will be smiles)
  • and bring on the fun!

See pictures of the largest light show on Lake Superior.

Details

Open every night from November 19th through Sunday, December 26th.

While this light show is FREE, organizers request that visitors bring a non perishable food item or new toy to be donated to locals who are less fortunate.

Stay with us at the Edgewater and when everyone gets too cold, you can come in, warm up, and enjoy some indoor water fun.
