About Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center
The Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center is a free service of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Duluth, MN. The center provides exhibits and information about Great Lakes Shipping as well as a schedule of cargo vessel arrivals and departures. They also sell the National Park Service's America the Beautiful passes, though they can only accept checks or money orders.
Visitors praise the center as a "free and lots of great information" attraction, where they can watch the big freighters come into the canal and under the lift bridge. It's described as a "fun experience" and a "must-see" museum that is "very clean and very nice." The center is conveniently located in the popular Canal Park area, allowing visitors to also enjoy the Lakewalk and see the Lighthouse.

Small museum, but good info to learn about duluth shipping. Small gift shop. Worth a stop if you're by the lift bridge.

Fantastic FREE little museum and visitors center. Probably the best one offered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the Great Lakes. They have indoor viewing areas for ships going under the bridge and they have live schedules. Definitely a must stop at Canal Park.

Great museum. Informative for adults and fun for kids. And drink fountains for water! Friendly staff who are passionate for the museum and history of Shipping, Duluth, Lake Sperior, and Great Lakes.
