I had an exceptional visit to the Besser Museum in Alpena! The museum’s exhibits are a wonderful reflection of the region’s history and culture. The Backyard exhibit was particularly impressive, showcasing an array of local artistry and historical artifacts. The museum's commitment to preserving and presenting Alpena’s heritage through engaging and informative displays is truly commendable. The museum staff were welcoming and knowledgeable, providing insightful information The Besser Museum is a fantastic cultural resource for both locals and visitors. I highly recommend spending some time exploring their exhibits, especially if you have an interest in local history. Dont miss the Foucault pendulum on the lower level. Keep up the...

If you haven't been here then your life is probably really boring. I personally like the planetarium except for the fact that they keep doing the same space tour thing. I also really like that right now they are selling astronaut ice cream (dehydrated ice cream bars). If you haven't been to this place you should go, and even if you don't like any of the art there, they have many other activities for both parents and children. This place is a great way to get away from your troubles that you are having at the time. They also have lots of places that you can buy stuff. Go there. Have...

This was a small museum but it packs a punch! The price couldn’t be beat and it helped us beat a rainy day on our vacation in Alpena! The downstairs was full of taxidermy and not just your typical animals! There were tons of them!!! My only word of caution is the glass wall surrounding the old car! And only because my 11 year old was so excited to see the gas pump that she ran right into it because she didn’t see the wall. It was quite hilarious because she is tiny and literally bounced off of it! There IS a clear wall there!!! It’s a museum I think many others...

The planetarium got a new coordinator and so are doing more shows (now also on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in addition to Saturday and Sunday). I was talking to the planetarium coordinator and he indicates that the planetarium can also do shows that explore geology and geography, shows that explore the human body, and live sky shows, in addition to what they already do. He indicated that he is working on developing Michigan Skies Live Fall, for September. Exciting!! I am looking forward to seeing more shows!

Went here for the late summer evening hours. Lots of interesting facts about Alpena and Michigan iin general. I'm not much for museums but I liked this one. We went to the planetarium. Jonathan was wonderful. Very informative. He showed us the sky and how to find a few things. Then we saw the space Apollo missions. Really enjoyed it. Recommend
