NOT official Bumblebee, but close. your kids will love it. Highly Recommended

So if the…read morelisting says 4:00 and you want to see trailers, show up at 3:30; because the main feature starts at 4p. This place has seen better days. It was obviously once (i.e. 1980s) a nice-ish movie house, with four screens and nicely situated in the business district of the city. But it's the only game in town--no theaters in an hour's drive in any direction, and it shows. The theater's literally falling apart. As soon as the lights come up, you see that the velvet on the sides of the theater are ripping off, decor is cracked and moldy, and that the seats haven't been updated in a decade or so. Staff was nice, and the place was clean, and it was nice to not have to drive further to see a new release. But *you * need do some cost-calculus to determine if it's worth the drive to Gaylord to see something at a nicer theater or see one in Mackinaw City in a dumpier dive; and decide to go here depending on how that math maths.

The nasty and hostile women who was serving me was swearing and was visibly angry. No wonder other reviewers refer to her as "gestapo" She was obviously looking for a fight while at work! I am pretty sure that she called police on us because as soon as we sat down police started to parade in front of our table on the side street-- in cars, quads and they did it multiple times and for no obvious reason. Wow, what a malicious hater she is ! extremely disrespectful and demeaning, I bet she does not own a passport and never traveled to a well developed and civilized country and spent her entire life living in a town of 400 people. Her behavior was extremely inappropriate, hostile and had nothing to do with decent customer service. STAY AWAY from this place and this nasty women and choose to support businesses that are respectful for the work that you do!

A Must "Bookmark" in Mackinaw City, before or after Pizza!…read more After many annual October Fall visits to Mackinaw City, I was pleased to have visited this Michigan Historical Museum on October 19, 2019. It is located upstairs above the pizza business MaMa Mia's therefore my idea was to walk off my delicious pizza lunch, read and learn about the history in the building of the Mighty Mackinaw Bridge. This museum is phenomenal about the history in the building of the Mackinaw Bridge 1954-1958. When walking upstairs there are walls and walls of photos naming the many dedicated, skilled, talented iron workers. Their used equipment of helmets, work gear, tools and details is emotional too at the same time to see and read. They faced their dangerous jobs daily before, during and after the completion plus a few deaths did occurr throughout the construction. Free Admission Free Movie is played for your history lesson while relaxing in comfortable chairs as well. I wrote down facts and information last year to help my review.. :-) There was 11,000 International Iron Workers, other tradesmen, and engineers that were dedicated, hard working and skilled employees to start the construction ground breaking on May 7, 1954. They all risked their lives daily, weekly and monthly for three years on the job before opening the bridge to traffic on November 1, 1957. (During the construction in the 1950's five men died) The Mackinaw Bridge construction went on into 1958 with 3,500 workers, 895,000 structural and blueprint drawings. They used: 71,300 tons of steel 42,000 miles of cable wire 931,000 tons of concrete 4,851,700 steel rivets 1,016,600 steel bolts and over 90,000,00 dollars The metal structure is one of eight land based survey towers, which were used along with six water based towers. My review plus photos, describes only half of this business. A guest needs to make a trip to Michigan and put on your list of places to visit this "Mackinaw Bridge Museum" for yourself. Then afterwards take a drive over the Mackinaw Bridge to see, feel and understand the history of how the bridge was built. I enjoy it yearly in the Summer or Fall! :-) I will always look forward to visiting this museum when in Mackinaw City, in case I missed a part of the history story. Then to remember, reflect, honor those past brave and talented Iron Workers that dedicated their lives to build The Mighty Mackinaw Bridge!

We toured the indoor area, then stepped outside and started out walk to the Fort. There were several things to see on the walk between the park and the lakeshore. Once we reached the fort, we visited all the buildings and exhibits, in the order suggested by the site map. Through the displays and the short movies, we learned a lot about the pre-colonial and colonial history of the upper midwest. For the cost ($15.25 per adult), it's a great way to spend several hours, learn quite a bit and do so at a low cost.
