Fort Mackinac, Mackinac Island

This is a great way to see the history of the island. Staff was very informative and took there time making sure we had a great experience. One of the coolest things there was the fact they shot off old canons every hours or so. I will definitely come back.

There are several events throughout the day like cannon blasts, the rifle fire and the soldiers march, etc. There are different demonstration buildings/sites inside this fort. We explored all the buildings. The exhibits are very well presented. We enjoyed the music and the firing of the cannon demonstrations. The views from this high top area were magnificent.

It's a good place for people who are interested in history! Even though I'm not one myself, the people dressed up made it quite fun! They are nice and a nice redhead girl let my sister take a picture with her! That was nice of her cause she was her break! The view is splendid as well.

I LOVE this place. Great weekend getaway. Couples or family can totally enjoy. No cars on the island, only bikes or horseback. Highly recommend renting a bike for 4 hours to do the 8 mile reasonably flat path around the island. Buy your fairy ticket the night before, saves the hassle in the morning.

Very scenic historic and time era story inspiring of soldiers trade and period interests complete with cannons wood stockades and smith's. Complete with bridge view and fur and canoes. Yes it's family oriented and educational. Love the area it's near.
