Things To Do
United States Hockey Hall-Fame
Every time Kyle comes to visit he wants to go here. It is a super cool museum on our small towns influence on the hockey you see today as well as hockey in general.
The Big Stick and Puck
A massive monument to Eveleth’s favorite sport – with the World’s Largest hockey stick & puck! Exit US Highway 53 at the Eveleth/Highway 37 turnoff. Go west into Eveleth and at the first stop sign (Grant Avenue), turn right. You can’t miss it!!
Leonidas Overlook
View the Eveleth Taconite mine and surrounding towns while enjoying this incredible overlook. This is a great spot to watch the sunset or just have a socially distanced meal. There are no picnic tables though.
Giants Ridge Recreation Area
This location, has hiking trails, walking trails, rock wall climbing, golf, and a couple restaurants.
Honk the Moose Statue
Such a cute statue and park for kids! What says took a trip to Minnesota more than a picture with a moose statue!
Laurentian Divide
This is a nice nature walk/hike! It is not too long but is a nice trip! I do recommend taking a picture of the map at the start as it can become unclear the direction to go sometimes without one!
Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary
This is a fan favorite for tourists in the area. You get to go up on a deck and see a bunch of wild bears, super fun. Its a bit of a drive but a pretty one. However, there's not a lot of stops in-between so fill up the tank and grab a snack beforehand.
Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park
This attraction is an old mine that you can walk around or take a tour to the underground mine section! It is adult and kid fun! Its a little bit of a drive but a fun afternoon.
BoomTown Woodfire Bar & Grill
Great food, cute place to eat! Visit their website for a menu! Probably the best local place for BBQ (we all know Kyle). I recommend the Boomtown Poutine and the wings!
Village Inn
A locals favorite, great American food and all day breakfast!
The Whistling Bird
This is a nicer restaurant on the iron range! It is Caribbean food! Marjie and Kyle have ate their on their first and second year anniversary of dating! Marjie likes the wild mushroom ravioli and Kyle prefers the coconut chicken!
Fitz's Wandering Pines Eatery & Pub
This is a great place for a hamburger or Friday night fish fry! It is a locally owned restaurant and a Thompson family favorite!
The Rink Sports Bar & Grill
This is a hockey themed restaurant in Eveleth to go with the theme of the town. Marjie recommend the smothered puck burger!
Iron Range Apparel
Located in the uptown Virginia mall. This shop has super cute Iron range themed apparel as well as little souvenirs and things.
Irma's Finland House
Local heritage gifts and souvenirs
Canelake's Candies
The Canelake's Candies store dates back all the way to 1905! Let me tell you they have only gotten better with age! Marjie and Kyle recommend the turtles and hot air!
