We were able to get tickets online at a small discount and they had a large parking lot to park in. There were bathrooms and a small concession stand. The show is outside but has the back row covered for a sunny day. They were so entertaining. I loved how they shared historic facts and kept the show moving along as well as included the audience to keep children's attention. It's a must do if you are in the area.

The biggest crowd favorites were the pole climb, log roll, and axe toss, plus the fun of being lucky enough to sit on the winning side. The kids absolutely loved cheering for the competitors, and it was so much fun watching them get excited about a sport most of us knew very little about beforehand. The show runs a little over an hour and does a great job balancing action, humor, and audience participation. It kept the students entertained the entire time. Since we attended as part of a group outing, I cannot really speak to pricing or the full customer service experience, but every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful. Plus both Owen and Chase hung around for autographs and photos with all the kids. There was also plenty of room for our five motor coaches to park easily. Overall, this ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend.

What in the world? Of all the things I thought I would see and experience on Mackinac Island, a…read morekitschy, vintage haunted house was not on that list. But I saw the Orpheum Theatre right there in the middle of Main Street, with signs and arrows pointing to a haunted house awaiting inside. I'm a horror fiend, so how could I pass up an old-timey haunted house? There's no way I couldn't not stop in! I happened to visit during the month of October, which is peak haunted house / Halloween season, but apparently, the haunted house at the Orpheum Theatre is open year-round during the tourist season. This haunted house has been around for more than 50 years, and to be honest, you can kind of tell. But that's part of the fun! The monster wax figures throughout this walk-through haunted house look like they've been grinding for several decades (and they have!), so you will probably be laughing and screaming in equal proportions. My kids and I were groaning at the cheesiness one minute, and then screaming because one of those cheesy wax figures moved and scared us the next minute. As you make your way through the haunted house, you'll peer into rooms and see mythological wax figures, make your way through a mirror maze, and go through a laser light area. Mostly, though, the haunted house is really dark, and you can't see much, which makes it even more scary when someone whispers in your ear. (Yes, that happens!) For some reason, the creepy, whispering disembodied voice chose to zero-in on me, and every so often, I would sense something near me, and then hear a whisper in my ear. I screamed every time! We had a wonderfully, gleefully scary 10 minutes or so, which is about the time it takes to make your way through the haunted house. As of this writing, admission to the haunted house is $9 for ages 7 and older, and free for ages younger than 6 years old. It's completely worth the admission to experience this vintage haunted house.

You don't get the satisfaction of holding a grip of tickets, unfortunately. But it's fun, nevertheless. There are games like claw machines, virtual reality cars, skee ball, basketball shooting games and lots more. My kids spent half an hour or so here twice while we were on the island, and they had a great time. When it came time to redeem their tickets, there was a good variety of prizes at different ticket points. There were candies, toys and trinkets. We left with a lot of candy and an axolotl blanket. We didn't get anything to eat or drink, but apparently, Carousel Arcade has food and beverages, including beer ($3 beer was advertised on the window!).

What a ride! Seriously, Zoo-de-Mac is a bike ride that starts at Zoo Bar in Boyne Highlands,…read moreMichigan and ends at Mackinaw City, Michigan. From start to finish the ride is 51 scenic miles along the coast of Lake Michigan and through the beautiful countryside. Before this ride I had not ridden more than 15 miles at a time, so needless to say, I kicked the day off on a nervous foot. Rolling up on my bike, I quickly scoped out my riding companions. The age ranges were all over the board and it appeared that bikers from all expert levels were on deck. The beginning of the ride is the most challenging. Be warned that there are several consecutive hills. After about the first 10-15 miles the road levels out and you are riding alongside the lake. The route offers several stops to use the restroom and grab a drink. Given the leisurely nature of the ride, you'll often see participants stopping along the route to fix a bike, take a break, or have a beer. The ride is very relaxing and there is no competition to get to the finish line first. This is great experience for all riders and the feeling of accomplishment at the end cannot be beaten!

I was very disappointed that lunch was a cold turkey and cheese sandwich or PB&J, chips a banana and granola bar. Did not expect a cold sandwich on a 50 degree day with 22 mph winds. What about a warm lunch instead? Not enough pit stops or safety patrols on staff. They did give out free water at the 26 mile mark which was ok, could of had more pit stops. I was hoping for a more scenic view with water but that didn't last long since it was basically woods and wind tunnels. Basically paid for the city cops to block off the road. I probably will no do this ride again, learned from then older veterans that you can just actually park your car somewhere and ride right in. Such a disappointment.
