They truly do amazing work. While they do have an art gallery and sell art supplies, their big thing is really custom framing and man do they know what they are doing. If you need some frame work done and you are anywhere near Ludington you need to check them out.

There is a little something for everyone, lighthouses, shorelines, beaches, water, trees buildings and all sorts of stuff. They also have book of 365 pictures from the Ludington area.

This charming little mural in downtown Ludington is of Saputo's Italian Market, and features a man…read moresitting on the stoop with his Collie while a woman sweeps behind him. They're surrounded by baskets of fruits and vegetables, and a woman shopping, who you can see in the window. According to internet history, Saputo's Italian Market was a real market in Ludington, and was operated by Frank Saputo and his two sisters, Rose and Jennie Saputo. They supplied fruits and vegetables to the carferries that came and went on the lake. This mural was originally located on the front of Luciano's Ristorante, but you can now find it on the side of The Q Smokehouse. By the way, when you're visiting this mural, definitely stop in and get some great barbecue at Q Smokehouse.

What a gem to keep kiddos entertained in Ludington! The facility is spotless, plenty of bounce…read morehouses to keep the kids busy for hours. The re-entry is great for when the kids need a meal or just a break. Plenty of seating areas for adults with umbrellas for shade. It is clear they take pride in what they do and everything is kept clean clean clean! They have a great rain plan to keep the bounce houses covered and in their best condition (they literally cover the entire facility with tarps if it looks like rain is coming). The kids are having an absolute blast, and mom and dad are glad to have some time to mentally regroup! Our post-pandemic video-game-loving city kids can only stand so much "nature" for so long.. so glad to have found this place during our vacation!

I am disappointed in the staff/owner who run this place. I went with my family to enjoy a fun…read moreafternoon that ended with one of our youngest (6 years old) being yelled at by the owner. He got some slobber on one of the inflatables on accident. A complete accident. Then owner goes over to him and yells at him that he must clean it up. Then goes over to Our grandmother and says "hey grandma your kid spit on the slide". Then he kept saying to the six year old that he bought all these and he is the most disrespectful kid. This is not the case. He is not disrespectful he is a sweet boy. At the beginning I was yelled at (I am a adult) for doing a tumble in the hamster ball and was told "if I can't stand up and will be tempted to do flips then I need to get out" he went over to the younger siblings and said to them that they need to star listening to what he says or and to stop ignoring him and being rude. I'm sorry but no where was there a rule posted. We were not told what we could or could not do. So to be yelled at like that is unacceptable and disrespectful to the customer. My camp I work for had planned a big trip with many kids and now we are going to not go. I would not recommend taking your kids there. The angry bald man will follow your children to every slide and yell at them if they do ANYTHING wrong. I am deeply disturbed by the actions and hope that they change there way of running the business.

There are exhibits and movies about local maritime history, boat building, the history of the ferry from Manitowoc, WI to Ludington. There's a fair number of videos throughout as well as artifacts from ships. There's even a mini lighthouse for kids to climb up. There's one part where it seems there's a holographic sea captain telling his tales. There's a fun activity of trying to steer a cargo ship! My wife and I got combo tickets for here and White Pine Historic Village. Nice view of Lake Michigan from the top floor.

The museum is located just steps from the beaches of Lake Michigan, which is apropos because this museum is all about the maritime history of the area. This is a museum that has lots of things to read, so if you're into that sort of thing, you will love it. If you visit with young children, though, then this place might not hold their attention for very long. There are a few interactive exhibits, but for the most part, the exhibits here are just for looking at and reading. This museum is really cool, though. It is three stories, and there is an elevator inside which is handy for people with strollers or wheelchairs or those who just don't want to climb the stairs. The stairs can be a little steep, FYI. As you make your way through the museum, you'll see exhibits about explorers, lighthouses, scuba divers, shipwrecks, and lots more. By the time you leave, you'll have a greater appreciation of Ludington and the Great Lakes.
