If I could I would not even give this place a one star. Very rude staff, not family friendly. I took my 4 young kids In to buy them a toy and was inside shopping when we were told We had to leave because we had no masks. We asked if it was a law and she said yes. For your information, it is NOT a law it’s a mandate - big difference. She proceeded to threaten calling the police on us which she immediately did. Then proceeded to yell at us as we left the building while conversing with the police officer. Which btw the police officer agreed with us that it’s ridiculous. Words can’t describe how rude This store owner was to do that to a little family just trying to enjoy their time. We had no other troubles in any other of the several stores we bought from that day. I am making this known to all friends and family in the area. My whole family has supported this store for over 7 years and will no longer buy anything there ever again. We have a home in the area and are just appalled by how this store owner treated us. This is unacceptable. I would NOT shop here!!!!...

We were quite disappointed as it cost $9 - Senior rate for each of us and didn't take long at all. It wasn't worth $18. It would be much better to go...

we stopped here on a camping trip in the UP to get a pass for Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
when we parked, we were a little hesitant because there were no other cars there and the visitor center looked less official (not necessarily in a bad way) than other visitor centers we’ve visited. the person working also didn’t greet us when we walked in, but they turned out to be super nice! they helped us get our pass and we were on our way.
there’s also some souvenirs, home decor, stickers, and maps available for purchase here but they didn’t all seem to be super...
