Top Minnesota Attraction Offering Free Admission This Weekend

One of Minnesota's most popular and beautiful attractions will be offering free admission this weekend.

Glensheen's annual Community Day Event will happen this Sunday, January 7th from 9 AM - 5 PM, during this time the public is invited to enjoy a free self-guided tour of the mansion.

Visitors will get to enjoy the Classic Christmas Tour before the thousands of Christmas lights, hundreds of feet of garland, and the 27 uniquely decorated trees before they go into storage until the next holiday season.

Guests who arrive before 5 PM will be able to enjoy the free tour, they ask they you visit the ticket house before starting the tour of the carriage house and the mansion.

The event will also feature some fun for the kids as they look for the 25 plush elves that are hidden throughout the mansion, can you find them all?

Glensheen says, "We are extremely grateful to the Duluth community for their continued support of our historic estate each year, and this day of free tours is our way of giving back to our community for that support."

This free tour is a great deal, normally admission to the historic estate is $32 for adults and $20 for kids during the holiday season, so for a family of two adults and two kids, this is a $100+ tour for free!

Each year the 20,000-square-foot historic house museum transforms into a Christmas wonderland decorating all of the 39 rooms in the estate which is operated by the University of Minnesota Duluth and is open year-round for tours and special events.
