| Paid admission of $9.00 for adults and
$5.75 for children ages 6-17 will include live programs such as musket
and cannon firings, military music demonstrations and even a court
martial trial. When you are done at the fort hop on the nearest bike or
horse buggy for a trip around the island’s 8-mile perimeter. This easy
and beautiful ride will showcase all of the island’s sights and
structural design including Skull Cave, the British Landing and Arch
Rock. Be sure to stop in at the Butterfly house featuring hundreds of
butterflies from all over the world and the Grand Hotel, which redefines
elegance and charm through an era of dining and chamber music not seen
since the late nineteenth century. After that ride you will be looking for a little refreshment, but we wouldn’t want you to look too hard. That is why Mackinac Island offers a variety of Restaurants with completely diverse menus such as the Pink Pony or the Mackinac Tea Room. Now that you are feeling refreshed its time to hit the stores and gather your share of mementos as you shop to your heart’s desire with the enormous amount of specialty shops lining the downtown area. You will find all sorts of trinkets and exclusive items waiting for you on a truly unique shopping experience through Mackinac Island’s busy avenue. If shopping doesn’t appeal to the entire family then maybe dad can sneak off and get in nine holes on the Wawashkamo golf course or either of Mackinac Island’s other two golf courses. Wawashkamo is also the longest operating nine-hole golfing facility in all of Michigan. It’s now time to take your packages and head for home with the comfort and safety of the Star Line offering the newest hydro jet ferries allowing you to “high tail” it over to the island.
