old mackinac point lighthouse

Very good time. The guide was very friendly. Also the view was amazing. Our hotel was a cross the street so we got a birds eye view all day and night.

Very well maintained and kept very clean. They've got informative guides and the views are awesome. Well worth the climb up top.

A well maintained lighthouse and the tour guide was very informative. He even asked if we were with the tour bus unloading out front and since we were not he said come now before it became crowded. The gift shop held our pending purchases.

Beautiful porthole views for photos of the bridge as you climb the tower. Views abound. As always, well worth the climb. Nice setting.

We had a very relaxing time walking around and being able to visit the light house. Put your walking shoes on, you don't want to sit, just go explore the shops and the lighthouse~Look out at the water and breathe that clean air!

In Mackinac City area this is a must see. Really nice building showing the history of the lighthouses, and a tour to the top of the lighthouse with a beautiful view of the Mackinac bridge. The staff is friendly, and the history of the lighthouse keepers is very interesting. Shows a video of maritime crashes around the area as well. Must see.

This Lighthouse has alot of history, plus it is right by the Mackinaw Bridge. The employees were helpful in answering any questions we had about the coast guard on watch here when the light was working. We went here before we went to the Fort that is right next door.

This was already closed for the season. However, we called ahead of time and they told us to be sure to at least visit and take pictures of the outside. So we did just that. Took some photos of the light house and the bridge.

Beautiful Lighthouse with amazing views and beautiful park. The tour doesn't have a lot to it but the history is awesome!

We've visited a lot of lighthouses, and this one was really different from the outside. Reminded me of a castle. Great photos from the top. Worth the visit.

This lighthouse looks like a castle with a lighthouse attached. The grounds around this building are easily navigated, and there is a separate building with restrooms inside. The tour was conducted by a costumed docent that told us the history of this lighthouse and some of its keepers. The interior is larger than I thought it would be, although two families lived in there at the same time. The view of the bridge is breathtaking! Lake Michigan and Lake Huron come together at the straits, and you can just imagine the importance of this lighthouse's job in guiding the ships to safety.

Old time appeal. A well historically dressed guide. Views of the bridge is breath taking. It is not very large, compared to others. It's a great way to step back into history and enjoy time with family.

Under the shadow of the bridge, the lighthouse is now in the heart of the activity in Mackinaw City. It is easy to imagine the barren coast line and sailing ships relying on its light to keep them safe.

This light house sits near the bridge and the old fort. You have a beautiful view of the water and the bridge. You can watch the big ships sail by. This lighthouse looks like a combination of castle, estate home, and lighthouse. Unfortunately we got there too late to tour, it closes at 5PM.

We spent a couple of hours touring The Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse. The pictures, the written history of the lighthouse, the lightkeeper and his family, the hundreds of artifacts, and the tour of the tower captivated our attention with every step. Old Mackinau Point Lighthouse was the perfect historic tour.
