The Original Mackinac Island Butterfly House
The Original Mackinac Island Butterfly House is the 1st of its kind in Michigan, and the 3rd oldest live butterfly exhibit in the United States. The world-renowned and family-friendly facility has 1800 sq ft of tropical garden filled with hundreds of live butterflies from four continents. Adult admission tickets are $13.
Fort Mackinac
The cannon blasts, the rifles fire, the soldiers march and history comes alive. The oldest building in Michigan and 13 other historical structures boast exhibits explaining everything from military training and battles to medical treatments to family life within the fort. More than just a military outpost, Fort Mackinac served as a home for soldiers and their families and eventually the headquarters for Mackinac National Park, where tourists to the island visited the great fortress on the bluff, much like they do today. Adult admission tickets are $16.25.
Hiking Around the Island
Mackinac Island has several hiking trails available for our adventurous guests! Check out famous spots such as Arch Rock, Skull Cave, and Friendship's Altar.
Biking Around the Island
Biking, running or walking the 8.2 miles around Mackinac Island is a popular activity for visitors. It’s easy to understand why when you see the vastness of Lake Huron, listen to the waves crash against the rocks, and have one of the world’s longest suspension bridges, the Mackinac Bridge, as a backdrop. Bike rentals are available through Mission Point Resort, or at several shops in downtown Mackinac.
