Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center

This is an excellent center for the preservation, display, and education of all things Great Lakes ship related. Admission is free, and there is a gift shop as well as extra features that could cost a nominal fee. Great location with easy, free parking as well. The displays inside are unique, interactive, and well thought out. Don't miss the large built-in ship! Worth a stop for sure, and should not be missed if you are even remotely interested in this subject.

Great place to bring kids to learn about ships that sailed the Great Lakes. Wonderful layout and easy access. Watch the movies and take the boat ride if you can (the boat does charge you to ride).

GREAT little museum for both kids and adults. Including large models of ships to crawl in and out of and a movie sphere. Donations are taken just inside the door. 👍

The Halloween event was above and beyond anything we expected. We haven't attended in years...we will definitely be back. Great job and I am super impressed at the fleet of volunteers you had to help make it all possible. What a great way to get families interested in the sanctuary. Wonderful job and thank you for this amazing community event.

Great place for kids. Knowledge locals who are as helpful with the maritime history and "shipwrecks" as they are about local points of interest. Defintely one of the best part of our visit to Alpena area.
