They visit a Blacksmith Shop to shoe their horses, lending the squire a hand in the Stable. The children plant and pick vegetables in the Garden to prepare their royal feast, using a trestle table, cauldron and food props in the Great Hall. There are costumes for the children to dress up in as the Lords, Ladies, Knights, Jesters and “commoners.” The youngest visitors to the Children’s Castle will discover the Keep, a miniature castle within the exhibit. Campsite is an indoor wilderness area where toddlers can row a boat, catch fish for their dinner, set up their own campfire and sleep in a tent, zipped up safe from the huge bear.

The Duluth Heritage Sports Center is a cornerstone of Duluth area youth sports.

In the summers The Pavilion Arena will hold turf for youth sports such as soccer, softball and football and in the winter will house another NHL size sheet of ice. When you visit the Duluth Heritage Sports Center you will notice that the integrity of the preexisting Clyde Iron Building was kept intact during the renovations.

The Heritage arena also depicts a mural of the founding families of youth hockey in Duluth, a collegiate wall, a state champion wall, and a showcase of hockey memorabilia that tells the wonderful history of winter sports in Duluth.
