About
The Melting Pot in Duluth offers a unique interactive dining experience where families can bond over bubbling pots of fondue. Kids love the hands-on experience of dipping bread, vegetables, and treats into cheese and chocolate fondue, making mealtime an engaging activity rather than just dinner.
Highlights

Pro Tips
- 1.Request a booth rather than a table for easier containment of excited little dippers and to prevent fondue fork mishaps
- 2.The four-course experience can take 2+ hours, so consider lunch or the cheese and chocolate fondue option for shorter attention spans
- 3.Make reservations for weekend dinners as waits can be long, especially during peak family dining hours
- 4.Ask your server to demonstrate proper fondue fork technique to kids before they start to prevent burns from the hot pots
- 5.The chocolate fondue dessert is usually the biggest hit with kids, so save room or consider ordering it as a standalone treat
