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 for youth ages 13 and up, 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. Join us for youth church Thursday nights from 5:00 - 9:00 pm. Youth church is an exciting night including free admission to the park, free dinner, and a relevant devotional time.

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 Christian artists.

Gym Activities and Hip Hop Dance and Aerobics Classes
If you’re looking to get active and your not into skateboarding, we have a wide variety of gym activities such as an open gym style night, including basketball, volleyball and billiards. We are also proud to offer hip hop dance classes and new this year the Encounter offers Youth Aerobics Classes for any age. Come have some fun and get to know other youth in your community!
