This is a really nice Welcome Center. It still has that new-building smell and there's none of the…read morenormal wear and tear, yet. If you're on I-94 coming back from a cross-border trip to Canada or traveling from the Port Huron area, then this is likely the first rest stop you'll come across. Don't miss it. It's staffed with friendly locals who'll tell you everything you need to know about traveling in Michigan. Offer advice on the traffic road conditions, the best routes to take to get you where you want to go, and things to see on the way. For those who prefer to wing it, and just see what's available, the traveler information with the maps, brochures and pamphlets can accommodate. It's broken out by the area of Michigan to which you're traveling; or, if you want something that's less geographic-specific but more activity related, there are also sections labeled for hunting or fishing, boating, camping, antique shopping, general shopping, and general activities. Maybe all welcome centers at a state's border are like that, but I don't remember it being quite as simple. Of course there are the requisite soda machines and maps, but take some time and explore the welcome center when it's open. There's always something new to be discovered in every state. Here, they just make it easier.

Great stop before exploring town!…read more The staff was knowledgeable when I asked questions about the area. They have coupons and suggestions. The kids loved the little coloring area and as a family we enjoyed the gnome hunt. Fun prizes for all who complete the challenge.

They offer free and charging ports for your devices, clean restrooms and lots of information at this visitor center. There is parking directly behind this location which is good as the city can get very busy. I felt welcomed by the warm staff and there is a beautiful outside space as well with tables and seating where you can enjoy the fountain and the beautiful weather. I had done my research before we visited but the stuff inside pointed out something that I didn't see online, and that there are two locations in town which offer glockenspiel shows! We did catch one and it was adorable. It made our day in the city that much better. Definitely stopped by here if you are visiting the city.

I like Welcome Centers.  I like them a lot.  Whenever I pass a state line and one is near by I head…read moreright for it.                 I do not recommend this Welcome Center.  It has all the basics - there is a public restroom on the first floor and there are piles and piles of magazines featuring wonderful things that you can do in Michigan - all of which, except for a handful, appear to be very far away from this particular welcome center.                 It is located very near to the on ramp of Interstate 75 - so, if you are already in Michigan it is very easy to get to.  If you have just come in, however, you would need to drive past it for some distance, take an exit and navigate through some dodgy neighborhoods to get back to it.  If you are heading into Canada then it's a little more difficult to get to - but not much, just a little more difficult than it normally is.                 This particular Welcome Center is located in 'Mexicantown' - so, let's say you're coming from Canada and heading into the United States to enjoy your stay in Michigan - the first place you get to is 'Mexicantown'.  I don't get it but maybe there's a backstory I missed somewhere.                 The building itself isn't just a Welcome Center.  It's got other commercial ventures in it.  There is a Michigan Secretary of State so if you are heading into the United States you can stop by and get your Michigan Driver's License in Mexicantown to save time - however, if your intent is to save time that's not going to happen in that SOC Office.  It's nice to dream though.                 On the second floor of the building are offices for the Mexicantown Development Corporation or some thing like that.  The offices run most of the building.  Inside, at least right now, you would find one banner announcing that you had arrived at the Mexicantown Development Corporation and a sign that says the public bathroom is downstairs.   That's it.

The center may also be accessed from the city streets in Detroit (21st and Bagley) or freeway exits off of 75N and 96. This center was opened in 2008 and maintains all literature from the State of Michigan and an extensive collection for the Detroit and surrounding area. Staff is willing to assist travelers with directions, reservations and ideas for tourism within the city and state. There is also a car pool lot available for longer term parking needs directly across 21st street. If you have questions or need assistance please stop in!

I was in town for their pink lady's slipper festival. It's a small fair held at the nature center…read morewith live music, food, and vendors. It was pretty fun! The pink lady's slipper is an orchid that is native to the eastern United States and is abundant near the center and it's also the logo of the center. The volunteers mentioned there were over a hundred spotted near the trails and you were sure to see them (which we did, over 20+ sightings!). The nature center itself has dioramas about the ecology of the area, bathrooms, a water fountain, and a bird feeder where you can watch wild birds and chipmunks. There were so many goldfinches and mourning doves at that time of day. There's also a tank with a rescued turtle to look at too. It's very family friendly and the trail I went on near the center was paved with a bunch of signs, although there's also more trails which are unpaved. This is a neat little place and I would recommend it!

It gets extremely crowded, especially on weekends - so make a reservation well in advance. It can get loud at times, but the OPP always keep things safe and quiet at night. They have hydro sites and rustic camp sites. You can rent canoes, get an ice cream at their store, do a ranger program, go on a hike or just relax at the beach. Spectacular views everywhere. The Pinery is a great Provincial Park and we are very lucky to have it so close to the Windsor / Sarnia area.

Friendly and helpful information…read more We entered Canada but we didn't know what we wanted to do with our couple of hours in Windsor. The information center was close by so we decided to ask them some questions. There are plenty of maps and pamphlets for the different cities of Canada. The woman working at the desk gave us a map of Windsor and a list of things to do in the city. She even gave us a parking permit for the travel center so we were able to park there for free. Overall, clean bathrooms, free maps, and free parking for a couple hours is a win.
