Always very pretty and clean. With Bentleyville lights there now even better. You get to drive through it this year and I think it is better this way.

Beautiful Park for a walk, picnic, bike ride, or just lying on the massive green grass lawn. Peaceful and quiet overlooking the canal and harbor.

Always a pleasure to attend various styles of entertainment. Open Format, Lake Superior Air says it all!

Great park in Duluth - we stop here with our kids every time were in the city.

Very nice place to visit in winters. Lights festival is awesome and enjoyable by everyone in the family. Parking is just 2 min walk away and convenient. must visit if you are nearby in winters or during Christmas. Also checkout skyline parkway scenic drive.

Played around in this park with my son. It is very pretty and there are a lot of walking paths. Big open area, saw some yoga in there the other day. Peaceful and open.

This park is beautiful and laid out really well. We went there for a concert and the stage is wonderful, the sound great, and the set-up for a concert was easy to navigate and quite efficient. If you have time to come here for a picnic lunch or just to enjoy its beauty and capture some beautiful lake views, you cannot go wrong! Its a great way to spend a day and close to a lot of neat attractions in the area.

Fun, fun! Got us in the mood for the holidays. Enjoyed the lights with hot cocoa, marshmellows and cookies. We arrived just before 5:00, parking by the Aquarium for $5. The rest is free or donate a toy. Arrive after 7:00 if you dont have kids.

Love this place for concerts! Such a cool site with a great view of the water and if youre lucky a boat might move on through and provide a sweet photo opportunity!

Very fun time with friends!!! Always fun to take a nice little stroll through the light show. Its interesting Evey year to see the new lighting. It was nice that there were running water bathrooms, as well as porta-a-potties. Very cool concept with a romantic path and a normal path forking separating each at one point through the walking loop.

Does anyone ever give this light show anything less than a 5 star rating? Cookies. Hot chocolate. Fires to warm you. Santa. Winter hats for the kids. You can feel the love inside this arena of lights. The only thing missing this year was my love.

Nice place to go to walk with Children, also have free goodies like pop corn and Marshmallows to toast on the fire pit

We went to see the Xmas light display down at Festival Park and found it very well organized and well worth the trip.

A great setting for the All Pints North beer Festival featuring 114 Minnesota breweries. We enjoyed the live music, games and, of course, the variety of craft beers produced in our great state.

Wide open, great view of the harbor activity.

Always fun at Bentlyville. I realize that Santa gets very busy at this time, but I sure wish he could have stayed until closing or 30 min before. My grandson just missed him on the 23rd :( But all in all it was great fun! And thank you to the kind officers who agreed to pose with my grandson. I appreciate their service to the community.

Drove 2 1/2 hours to get there so worth it and wonderful for every age.

Last night of the BENTLEYVILLE Christmas Lights, for this 2018 yr. Fireworks were an added Bonus to this Spectacular, Wonderful & Amazing FREE EVENT !!! Thank you Mr. Bentley ️

Lovely place for families,friends and even just yourself. Parking is $5 bucks,but hot chocolate,cookies and smores were available to the public for free! Donations are welcomed and the volunteers were always willing to help everyone. Put this one on your must visit list if you are around during the season!

Be prepared for Bentleyville to be really busy but so worth it. Fun for the whole family- hot cocoa and cookies, marshmallow roasting, music, gift shops, and of course the amazing lights!

Great venue for festivals, concerts and other events. The park is right on Lake Superior, with the aerial lift bridge in the background and stunning views in every direction. The acoustics are great--you can hear the music at Enger park up on the hill in Duluth.

I love Bayfront Festival Park. Great open space with amazing views. Bandstand is great too. Heres why it does not have 5 Stars... I drive past it all the time and see something fun going on there, yet they dont have any good signage or displays of the current events up for the thousands of people that drive by it everyday. I feel a fair number would stop or plan to go there if they had something to catch their eye as they drive by.

Bentleyville is Located in Bayfront Festival Park.Just a short jaunt over from canal park.We parked in one of the free parking lots in Canal park, had dinner at Little Angies Cantina, a bus picked you up outside the restaurant and took you over there.This was our first time here.It was truly an amazing display.I would definitely come back here again.They dont charge you to get in, How ever!They do ask for donations to keep being able to do the lights.

Fun to drive through.

This was our first visit and we will be making it an annual visit. Amazing light display.

BEST OUTDOOR MUSIC VENUE IN THE UNITED STATES ...DULUTH, MINNESOTAS OWN BAYFRONT FESTIVAL PARK !!!

Well oiled machine for the Bentlyville light show. Defiantly busy but set up for a smooth flow of parking and touring the lights.

Beautifully gorgeous scenic park and wonderfully experience! Plenty of portable toilets for the festivities. Live music and lots of vendors.Fireworks display was beautiful and well done!!!

Bentleyville 2020 was beautiful

Only in Minnesota will you find a crowd lined up to walk through a light display. Lots of cool light figures.

Awesome lights. Good atmosphere. Loved the cookies, cocoa, popcorn, and roasting marshmallows by warm fire!! Made awesome memories with the family!

Went to Bentleyville, great lite show

Great place to view the Ariel Lift Bridge in Duluth. The hot air balloon Festival is worth going to when the Weather cooperates.

Perfect venue for outdoor concerts! Recently saw Steve Miller! Beautiful view of Lake Superior too. The park is located right on the shore. Plenty of room to move around. Every one should go to the park theres things going on all summer, from concerts to grill wars ( which was excellent by the way!!) Located in beautiful downtown Duluth!!! Come on, have some fun! The only thing is you need to bring your own chair unless you have VIP seating!! Well worth it!

Bentleyville is an awesome place to visit. This was our second time going this year. The line for Santa might be super long but its worth the wait!!! Thank you to all the volunteers who make Bentleyville an amazing place to visit every year!!!

We love Bayfront here in Duluth. Good party and festival space. Handicap accessible and a good place to let the kids run free!

Beautiful in both winter and summer ! Even in 15 BELOW ZERO

Bentleyville was awesome

Great view, great acoustics, and great atmosphere! I wish I could see every concert here?

Free and family friendly fun. Yes please. I wish they changed the theme up and did this all year round. Volunteer powered this place NEEDS to run forever. Donate! Its awesome.

Very nice Steve Miller band

We went to the Christmas lights festival, it was a little cold but it was awesome! The kids have a lot of fun!

If you have a chance it is well worth the time to visit bentlyville.Our son is ten years old and wants to go to visit Santa Claus every year at bentlyville.If your child or children are under 10 years old, after visiting with Santa Claus they receive a winter hat.It is a free will donation to walk through the holiday decorations and to see Santa.There is a 5 dollar parking lot fee, but well worth it.Get there early, because Santa Claus has a long commute home, so he leaves at 8pm.

Nice view of the bridge and the lake, but nothing more.

Bentleyville was great! Do many awesome lights

Great time there

We had a wonderful time at Bentleyville.

Best light show Ive ever seen! Cookie shops, souvenirs, smores, Santa, nice ppl! ♡♡♡♡♡ I think we may have started a tradition this year.

Go every year and it just gets better each year. Like it best with snow on ground....more festive.

Went for Bentlyville. Loved it! Ample parking, great gift shop with reasonable prices, well organized, beautiful!!!!! The marshmallow roasting stations were awesome! Incredible place!

Hosts great events every year.

I attended the Veterans benefit concerts on a Saturday evening at the end of August 2019. Bayfront is a perfect location for any concert or outdoor entertainment. Lots of room and prime views with the lake and harbor being so close.

Magical event. Want to go every year now. Great place for Christmas photos.

Remarkable, you can certainly tell all the effort and work that went in to putting this together. Beautiful

We enjoyed the lights of bentleyville with our whole ext family... weather was awesome... so we loved it...

Went to see the Christmas lights at bentleyville. All the lights were amazing and beautiful. It was fun. But very busy. Grandkids liked the free hot cocoa and popcorn too.

Beautiful place to go to a concert or event. It would be nice if there was some way to get rid of the geese and their poop though.

We visited for Bentleyville 2017 and it was amazing! Beautiful park and facilities.

We had so much fun, ths is the first time we have been here. The kids loved it!

The best light display Ive ever seen in my life. Bayfront festival park during Christmas is so bright, it is seen from the International Space Station.

Huge open space for fantastic concerts, events, and just playing around.

Enjoyed watching July 4th fireworks from here

Had a booth down there this week and it was amazing. Great venue.

We went to Bentleyville. Vary fun. Thare was fire pits to stay warm. Good times.

Great open area for almost everything, fun place and cool pavilion.

Its a great venue. Clean. Friendly. Beautiful. They even have a grassy knoll you can roll down should the mood strike you. Which, honestly...it probably will.

Good park with views of the aerial lift bridge. We went on 4th of July to watch the firework show and it was amazing. They also had local band performing songs from various artists. There were many food stalls with good food selection. Parking in the nearby ramp was only $6!!

Love this place and it gets better every year. Don’t forget to get free hot chocolate and marshmallows

Fun for the family. My boys didnt want to go but ended up having a great time!

This place is cool, lots of room for big events like concerts and plays. Great placement right next the the lake as well, its sandwiched between one of the nicest hotels in town that being Pier B and some of the best shopping and dinning being found in canal park.

Gets better and bigger every year. Beautiful displays really puts you in the Christmas spirit

Great lights friendly people

Great place to go. Lots of lights. Took an hour long walk thru on a Wednesday night. Expect longer on weekends

Went to the Bentlyville Christmas lights display with our daughter Chris, and grandson Drew. Is so very amazing and beautiful! Plan on going back next year.

Great place to relax with friends and family. A fantabulous place during the holidays is a great walk through Christmas lights display

We bring the grandkids to Bentleyville. Always fun

We started going to Bayfront for the annual blues festival. Its a beautiful setting and Duluth makes use of this park often. If you see an event there that interests you, go for it. Its a perfect outdoor venue!

Great venue, very organized and very helpful staff. A great holiday destination for families. Short walk from many hotels

A good place to hang out, watch events.

Bentlyville was definitely for the family. I expected to pay but its free (short of donating)

Best Christmas lights that Ive witnessed in my thirty years of looking. Loved it! Especially being a free event with option to donate.

Variable weather keeps the weekend full of funky Blues music interesting.

Super cold and windy conditions but helpful in keeping the crowd down. Beautiful and uplifting!

Awesome bands and right on Lake Superior !!

Went there for the Bentlyville Christmas display . Always enjoyed it and itveasbeven better this year. Free coffee, coco n popcorn, a great place to take the family all the people are enjoying it.

Was here for the bentlyville tour very awsome

Amazing night of music.

Bentleyville is awesome...if you havent checked it out, you should...I have taken my twin boys there for the last 13 years...its a ritual for their birthday, thats obviously in December...

The lights are nice driving to and from. But it was way too crouded there being hearded through like cattle. So the affect was lost. Not a return for us.

If theres an event in Bayfront...you should go. Such a pretty area.

I enjoy seeing Bentleville. I wish they would open it up more so I can see more of the display closer up.

Bentlyville lights were fantastic get there before 5 to see them all light up at once

Just walking the water front for exercise

It was amazing the light show was really pretty they put a lot of time into it and it looks amazing

Lights were fantastic well managed for so many many people.

What a beautiful night.

Great concerts. Great staff and vendors. Would suggest going to concerts here.

Greatest Christmas light show Ive seen. Free cookies and hot chocolate. So many lights you cant see them all. Dont forget to leave a donation, if you can.

Bentonville lights. Fantastic!!!! Free, $5. Parking. An easy walk. Strollers and wheel chairs avaible for free. Concessions, gift shops, photo opps oh yeah. And did I mention, Santa. It would be a shame if you missed it. Thank Mr. Bentley and the city of Duluth. Thats all I want for Christmas!

So many people at Bentleyville and they have the walkways so narrow it wasnt even fun to go through there. Plus whats wrong with the city of Duluth that they dont clean their sidewalks? Stayed at The Inn on Lake Superior and walked everywhere with a stroller and great frustration over the sidewalks none of which were clear of snow. Bentleyville is way over rated . Our children didnt enjoy it.
