All Nordic Table classes include a recipe packet to take home and some tastes of the dishes prepared. Some classes include a full meal and a beverage. Please see the full course description for more information. 

Nordic Table classes are designed for ages 18+ unless otherwise indicated. Please reach out to foodhandcraft@asimn.org with inquiries about accommodating younger guests. 

In-Person Tours

Discover the history of the Turnblad Mansion and Turnblad Family on a dynamic and interactive guided tour led by ASI educators. Tours are an optional way to explore the mansion. They happen at 1:30 pm most days ASI is open and focuses on the history of the Turnblad Family.

Guided tours take place at 1:30 pm on most days when ASI is open, providing an insightful focus on the Turnblad Family's legacy. To ensure your spot, it's recommended to register in advance. Please note that walk-up registration may be limited based on the number of advanced registrations. If you secure a place on a tour, there's no need to purchase separate admission.

If the tour sells out, regular admission remains available and is the most popular way of experiencing ASI. Regular admission, which does not have limited availability, can be purchased at the desk upon arrival.
