They've actually cut out access to the engine room, which is really interesting to see as as well as as you can see the restored officers quarters at a variety of different seniority levels. One of the highlights was the exhibit for the Edmund Fitzgerald, I know there is a larger museum up at whitefish point but this was very interesting too It's definitely worth the time if you like a little bit of history and love to hear about the seafarers

It was by far the best museum that we visited in the UP that was about freighters and shipwrecks. It is one of those places that you could visit multiple times and see something new each time you go.

We were traveling through the Upper Peninsula, and made a side trip to Sault St. Marie specifically…read moreto take a boat tour of the Soo Locks. We chose the Famous Soo Locks Boat Tours, and purchased our two adult tickets online for $30 each. ($33 online). (May, 2023). This company has been providing tours since 1959, and they're distinguishable by their 150-seat yellow and blue boats. They offer many departures daily from mid-May to mid-October. From their (free) parking lot, our narrated "Classic Lock" tour began with a leisurely cruise along the American and Canadian sides of the St. Mary's River with the conductor pointing out some of the sites and their historical significance. It was evident that we were waiting for our turn to enter the up bound lock between Lake Huron and Lake Superior, as were some other tour boats and a gigantic freighter. The lock itself is an amazing engineering feat, allowing boats to travel between the two lakes that have a 21-foot variance in their heights. We alternated between being comfortably seated in, and walking around, the climate-controlled boat to take photos, as did many other passengers. Going through the locks, both up-bound and down-bound, was a slow but interesting process -- as we waited for the gates to close and for the water to fill or drain. The narration was very good and was of an appropriate duration -- providing useful information without being too long as to be distracting. Are there picturesque views along the river banks? No. The scenery, both in the American and the Canadian sides near the locks is mostly industrial -- though we did pass some parks and some tribal land. Am I generally "into" learning about engineering or industrial feats? Largely, no, my husband (an engineer) generally finds this more intriguing, but, that said, I did find this tour to be well-narrated and sometimes interesting even for my tastes. Did the tour company provide a worthwhile tour? A resounding YES. The tour was professionally done, and for a fair price. Our tour ended up being almost 2 hours given traffic through the locks. The captain truly seemed to enjoy his job, both navigating the boat and doing the narration. The boat itself was comfortable. Also note that no passport is needed to go into Canada as you won't disembark from the boat.

There are several toilet and shower buildings throughout the campground. They are well maintained and clean. Although someone who did their dishes in an outdoor sink for dishes did not have enough sense to clean up after themselves. They left ramen noodles in the sink. Why do people need to be slobs? They should clean up their mess. No one else should need to do it. I am sure that park staff will clean it up by morning. There are so many campsites in this park and I heard it fills up totally in the summer. That would not be my kind of camping but I am sure it's fun for those who come. Just remember when camping --clean up after yourself, be respectful of others and keep the noise down.
