Great place to take children and teens to stimulate interest in science. Numerous puzzles, telescopes, books and games all focused on scientific discovery. read more

Manager refused to acknowledge an item we bought there (wasn't even trying to return it). Was rude and essentially called me a liar. NEVER going back! read more

I just placed my Celestron order with Amazon after visiting Enerdyne in a very busy Suttons Bay yesterday. I like the founding owner (retired community college instructor, although he is quick to make intrusive remarks) and the store is always interesting, except that their current store policy on masking up is against my policy of "minding your own business buddy." I am vaccinated and don't need little brother telling me what to do as far as my personal life goes. Dick (the founding owner) is knowledgeable, but certainly not the end all of celestial information, (and most certainly not in the field of biochemistry , physics, nor medicine) and Amazon had the binoculars that I was looking for, delivered to my home. Enerdynes marxist store policy and my freedom collided this time, and they lost this sale to Amazon. While dining on the patio at VI Grill down the street I was doing impromptu surveys of a few passing visitors, and was told that no one was requiring rebreathers (face masks) anywhere in Suttons Bay except this establishment. Hmmm. Keep that tin foil on wrapped tightly on your head Enerdyne...it might help in finding polar North. Order Confirmation Hello Richard, Thank you for shopping with us.

Enerdyne - Other Aliens with mask rebreathers - Toy Stores Near Me - Suttons Bay, Michigan

It doesn't get any better than this shop if you have science geek kids! We stopped in on a whim, got my son a little build a robot kit, and where blown away by the knowledgeable staff, and telescope selection. We decided to go back a few days later and get my son an early birthday gift - new telescope! read more

I can't believe no one has reviewed the Enerdyne yet! Whenever I'm in Suttons I have to stop in - they have the coolest science toys, rocks and gemstones, and various other geeky fare. Lots of fun games and demos too! Remember the "water tornado" you can make by connecting two 2-Liter bottles? Well, they have a kit and an example set up - I could play with that thing for quite a while! They also have a good selection of telescopes and knowledgeable staff - my dad has ordered a scope from them before. I heart Enerdyne. read more

Enerdyne - Toy Stores Near Me - Suttons Bay, Michigan

We have been 20 plus years as summer residents of Leelanau County. During that time we usually visit Enerdyne a couple of times w our grandchildren. In years past we have had pleasant visits. The owner usually was eager to answer questions and to offer ideas. This year was completely different. The clerk stayed within 6' of us the entire time to watch us and make sure we didn't touch anything or steal something. They didn't offer any answers or ideas. We will not be back read more

And if you talk to the owner, can't remember his name now, he will talk your ear off about any subject related to science that you like. Our topic was astronomy. And I learned many things about light pollution that I didn't know. The store is fab, but the real find is the illuminating convo with the owner-man. read more

If you need optical instruments, this is the place. Mr. Cookman's knowledge and expertise about telescopes, binoculars and accessories is unsurpassed. read more

What a cool science filled shop right in the heart of Suttons Bay! I went solo as an adult and I just loved it. Telescopes fill the window displays and sprinkled throughout the store are experiment kits, books and microscopes. If you have kids or are a science enthusiast you will love this shop. The owner was very kind and knows his stuff! A gem of a shop! read more

This is one of my favorite stops on the Leelenau peninsula. Enerdyne is a terrific science and nature store. It's very well stocked with toys, experiment kits, and telescopes, all of which are a fitting addition to an area with so much natural beauty, and dark night skies. Items are suitable for kids, but there are a lot of adult science things too. The staff is helpful and very knowledgeable. You can find some amazingly helpful telescope and stargazing suggestions from Dick Cookman. BTW, you can also find some great Petoskey stones here. read more

We visit Suttons Bay 3-4 times a year, and we always stop at Enerdyne -- it's our go-to store for educational children's toys for our younger family members, and we've also bought neat stuff for ourselves like a whiz-bang weather station, a book on morel mushroom hunting that we've put to good use, and a Petoskey stone bud vase. The children's section is nothing short of awesome -- it reminds me of toy stores in the better sections of NYC, but with an emphasis on "thinking" and creative toys. And we also like the adult section, which is filled with everyday-science items like telescopes, birdwatching equipment, home weather equipment and so forth, plus Petoskey stone art, geodes and other interesting things. This summer the store demonstrated one of its butterfly-growing kits up at the counter -- pretty cool! read more

A serious science-themed store for kids and adults alike! Go for high quality microscopes, globes, telescopes, or trinkets like weather games and nature memorabilia like polished Petoskey stones. read more

We stopped in here to buy a few eyepieces for our telescope. Dick was incredibly helpful, informative, and fun to talk to. He knows so much about astronomy. The store overall is great, too. Lots of great stuff for anyone from kids to professionals! We will definitely be back. read more

A great spot to hang out on a drizzly day in Northern Michigan. They have puzzles, books, games, etc. We bought Suspend, a balancing game that we'd played somewhere else and really enjoyed. I probably could have spent the better part of a day (and a paycheck) in here looking through everything. It's like somebody asked, "What things does Erin like?" and then filled a storefront with them. Stop in. Your inner nerd will thank you. read more

I agree with the other reviews. This is such a fun place. The kid's toys are educational and one of a kind. Looking forward to some christmas shopping this weekend for my nieces and nephews. I can always find some good quality and interesting items. And my husband is nuts about the bird section. We have several of the little singing birds (not sure of exact name) read more

Whenever my wife and I visit Suttons Bay, we always stop by Enerdyne. This past June, however, my wife had a hidden agenda. We stopped in on my birthday, and she had arranged for the purchase of a Celestron 8" reflector telescope to aid my new interest in astronomy. Dick Cookman was ready with my new scope, and we spent time chatting about options, etc.. When it was all said and done, I left with a new scope, an excellent padded carrying case, and some additional tools to help learn my new hobby. Dick is an excellent source of knowledge and has been very helpful whenever I've called for advice. I strongly encourage folks to visit Enerdyne if they're anywhere near Suttons Bay. It is an awesome one-of-a-kind store with knowledgeable employees and excellent products. read more

Dick Cook is the owner and will help pick out a scope from their wide selection. I have talked to him for over an hour just before purchasing an eyepiece. In addition to the astronomy stuff, there are weather stations, bird watching guides. A veritable cornucopia of science equipment and educational toys for all ages. read more
