Seating Recommendations and Charts

Black Bear Casino Resort offers flexible seating configurations for concerts and events, with capacity that varies by setup and production needs. The event center can be arranged for reserved seating or general admission, giving you options based on the show’s format and your preferred viewing experience.

• Reserved Floor Seating: For select concerts and performances, rows of reserved seats are set up on the main floor. These seats typically put you closest to the stage for an immersive experience.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Black Bear Casino Resort

1785 Highway 210

Carlton, Minnesota 55718

Located in Carlton, the resort sits approximately 22 miles southwest of Duluth, making it an easy drive for Northland visitors and travelers along I-35.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in large, free surface lots for guests.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available; most attendees arrive by car.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and drop-off areas are available near the main entrances.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime, especially on busy weekends or when dining beforehand. This gives you time to park, navigate the property, and pick up refreshments without rushing to your seats.

Winter weather in northern Minnesota can impact travel times and road conditions. If you’re attending during colder months, allow extra time for safe driving and consider indoor coat storage or layers you can comfortably carry in the event center.

Black Bear Casino Resort spans a sizable property — expect moderate walking between the hotel, casino, dining, and entertainment areas. If you’re meeting a group, choose a clear landmark (such as the main hotel lobby or a specific restaurant entrance) as a rendezvous point to simplify your arrival.

Venue Navigation

The resort’s layout centers around the casino floor, with connecting corridors to the hotel tower, restaurants, and event/banquet spaces. Wayfinding signage is posted throughout the property, and elevators are available in hotel and casino areas for easy access.

You’ll find concessions and bars open during many events, plus multiple dining options on-site for pre- and post-show bites. Restrooms are located throughout the casino and event spaces, and an on-site gift shop offers merchandise and essentials. Because it’s a large, interconnected venue, comfortable footwear makes it easier to move between dining, gaming, and the event center.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Check with the venue for event-specific policies.
• Prohibited Items: Typical casino restrictions apply, including no outside alcohol and no weapons.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: Permitted as required by law.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• If you’re driving in winter, allow extra travel time for weather and road conditions.
• Build a cushion between dinner, gaming, and showtime — it’s a large property with moderate walking between areas.

Pre-Event Planning

Make it a full experience by pairing your show with a meal at one of the resort’s restaurants. The Black Bear Buffet offers variety for groups, while Seven Fires Steakhouse is well-suited for a more upscale pre-show dinner. If you prefer something quick, Sage Deli delivers sandwiches, salads, and easy counter-service bites before you head to your seats.

If you’re staying overnight, schedule time to enjoy the golf course or take in the surrounding woods — the property’s setting makes for a relaxing lead-in to evening entertainment. After the show, the resort’s exterior lighting highlights the property at night, creating an inviting atmosphere for a nightcap or a stroll back to the hotel.

For groups, decide on a meeting point in advance and share your game plan — whether you’re starting at the buffet or heading straight to the event center. Using our interactive map makes it easy to coordinate sections and rows for your party when you’re selecting Black Bear Resort Casino tickets.
