Welcome to The Encounter
Duluth Minnesota's favorite youth center!
Offering Duluth Minnesota’s only indoor skateboard park, all age music venues, and other activities, the Encounter, conveniently located in downtown Duluth, offers the youth of the twin ports community fun and engaging programs fostered within a positive environment. Indoor Skateboard Park Like to skate? The Encounter has the only skateboard park in Duluth. Remodeled in 2009 with new ramps to suit all skill levels, we welcome skaters, rollerbladers, and BMX bikers in our park. All Age Music Venues At the Encounter, we think live music concerts in Duluth should be enjoyed by all ages! Two music venues ensure that all musicians, big or small, have an opportunity to share their talent with the youth of our community. The Red Room features live, local music, & The Main Stage features nationally touring artists. Gym ActivitiesIf you’re looking to get active, we have a wide variety of gym activities such as an open gym style night, including basketball, volleyball and billiards. Come have some fun and get to know other youth in your community! Planning Your Wedding Reception or Event in Duluth?
