Family Adventures

Family Fun for All

They’re only little for a while. Make big memories.

Imagine a two-mile hike and not a single “She’s touching meeee.” On our trails, you’re far more likely to hear: “Oh cool, look at this!”

While we can’t promise the kids will behave, we can promise so much family fun that they won’t run out of things to do. That’s the beauty of traveling to Lutsen/Tofte/Schroeder, Grand Marais, the Gunflint Trail and Grand Portage: There’s something fun for every family anytime of the year.
