Join us at the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra’s annual Holiday Spectacular, a magical event that promises to warm your heart and fill you with holiday cheer. Step into Symphony Hall and immerse yourself in a family-friendly extravaganza featuring a variety of traditional and new holiday music that will leave you feeling festive and joyful. After the concert, continue the holiday spirit by visiting the always beautiful Bentleyville Tour of Lights, or explore the Duluth Winter Village for a truly unforgettable day of seasonal delights (park once for all three events!). Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to create lasting memories with your loved ones this holiday season!

Join us for Zoo Lights at the Lake Superior Zoo, our annual after-hours event filled with holiday cheer. Stroll through light displays and see the giant animal inflatables that make this event special. Enjoy free s’mores, take part in a craft activity, and warm up with hot chocolate and treats from the Safari Café. Santa will be here every night to hear holiday wishes, and live music will be featured on select evenings. Be sure to visit the Tiger’s Paw Gift Shop for light-up items to remember your night at the zoo.

This year, we’re adding something new to Zoo Lights—guests 21 and older can enjoy cocktails, beer, wine, or seltzers on the Tiger Deck or as they stroll through the beautifully lit pathways, now that the zoo is officially licensed to serve alcohol.

Find yourself in the mansion, self-guided by the lights of the Christmas trees, candles, and the light fixtures of Glensheen. Tour enhancements such as music and decorations are in place to create a magical tour experience. This gorgeous display will surely make it onto your yearly Christmas bucket list, as you are fully immersed in what it must have been like for the Congdons on a magical Christmas evening.

Full Mansion Candlelight Tours and Classic Mansion Candlelight Tour options are available.
We can’t wait to see you! Join us on Friday and Saturday evenings in November and December, through December 28th.

Bonus Days: December 14th, 21st, 28th
