It was emotionally rewarding to get a glimpse of her amazing talent, yet sensing the tragedy and sadness for many of her years. Five husbands and addictions and early mistreatment by the movie studios tell the story of her short life. I recommend a visit or many visits, as the praises and new items continue to be donated. Well done!

We are pleased just sticking to draft beers and cocktails and skipping the wines. Another like is the array of local musicians who play there to add to the ambience. The staff is hard working and as a former hospitality consultant it looks like the servers should stick to selling and serving with a busser clearing soiled dishes. Too man times servers are challenged by orders ready and they are diligently clearing and cleaning. These concerns are minor compared to the Magic of this great place. We will continue to make it a favorite

But I will honestly say this museum was one of the most interesting I've been in in quite a while even as an adult. It's not just about mining, but walks you through everyday life "back in the day". From the school room, doctor's office, barber shop, washing machines, kitchen, printing press etc etc. So much is here, and so many photos almost all with captions stating where/when. Super interesting. There is SO much stuff here! It really blew me away. And the woman who was working that day was so friendly and knowledgeable (that's you Velma!)... she was an absolute delight. It unfortunately decided to downpour 1/2 way through our first visit which cut it short, but that meant that I was able to go back and meet a friend and her kiddos! Whoever set this up cared a lot and thought it through and the donations of things large and small is incredible. Go here! .... Pull all the way in and drive up to the castle. There are parking spots there and that's where you pay. It's deceptive making you think you park outside the gate but nope.... pull all the way up!

But the Greyhound bus museum beats em all. Last year, our car broke down in Hibbing and we were stuck there for four days with a toddler. I tell you what, he loved this place. He's heavily into buses and the displays allowed him to really, really get his fill of them. We were the only people in the museum so the staff went out of their way to give us the grand tour. They also had live greyhounds and other fun things for kids. If you like kitsch, then don't miss this. My personal favorite, the Bob Dylan sock sculpture wearing a bus driver's uniform in one of the displays.

We came when she was about 14 months old and she loved it. I think kids as old as first or second grade would also enjoy this!

This is a fantastic arena, one of the finest in Minnesota. It has three (3) sheets of ice; the main…read moreevent is a spectacular classic arena, one newer rink in a rectangular addition, and a covered outdoor ice sheet. IRA is the Itasca Recreation Association, a civic group started many years ago to build an arena to support youth hockey. The locals have done a great job! You are greeted with boozhoo, a welcome greeting in Ojibwe and enter a large common area with access to both rinks, bench and booth seating, banners of local hockey heros and concessions. The main arena is a gem. Wooden beams, championship banners, seating on four sides with one end viewing from heated second floor lobby and large posters of local kids who played college, NHL and Olympic hockey. If this rink does not impress you, nothing much will. Rink two is a standard second rink in a rectangle building likely also used for non-hockey events, trade shows and conferences. It's heated for fans and has much smaller bleachers than rink one. Rink three is the covered outside rink. This is a real beauty. Stands, fresh air, wind and sunshine, access to indoor arena, lockers and other arena amenities. I wish MN had more of this covered yet open ice. For the hockey fan, this building is packed with trophies, some really old, and also a lot of great history. Not just the posters of NHLers from GR, but history of the arena, and those who built this monument to youth activities.
