Huron Lightship Museum — Attraction in Port Huron

Update: We went on to the Lighthouse museum and had a WONDERFUL time amazing staff, amazing tour, absolutely could not have asked for a better experience. We spoke with the staff about our experience here and they were fantastic and we are more than satisfied with how they addressed it. Wonderful experience, wonderful people. We are going back for sure. Changing my 1 star review to a 5 star review!!!

Original review: 1star Very odd, there is a money jar at the front near the fees sign, I paid for myself and my children. then we are approached by some strange man with no identifying information, doesn't introduce himself, just says I have to pay him $25, I explained that I already paid the money In the jar. He says no that's donations not entry fees. Ok looks like I am paying $50 to walk around a tiny boat for 15 mins. Not Ideal, but ok. It's my daughters birthday and she wants to visit all the museum's. So I go to hand him 2 twenty dollar bills. Nope he can't make change. That seems suspicious. Then I ask if we get stamps, tickets, arm band etc. Nope. nothing that says he works here, nothing that says we paid. and no sign of him having taken entry fees from anyone else (no money other that what we were about to give him, and no access to any) we walked out and won't be back. I hope the "donation" we already made...

Great, quick museum ship visit! Staff were friendly and not pushy. The information throughout the ship is excellent. For it's size, you get a lot of information per square foot! In other words, if you're visiting the area for the first time, visit this ship for the most local/lake shipping/lightship historical information per step you take. It's not a long tour at all, especially if you're used to Battleship and Carrier museum ships.

Love touring the Lightship. Dry docked along St. Clair River in Pine Grove Park. The upper deck offers a beautiful view of the river, Blue Water Bridges, shipping and of course the Canadian border. The ship's ladder/stairs are not handicapped friendly however can be navigated if not too handicapped. There are no bathroom facilities. No wheelchair access. Learn how the Lightship was used in Lake Huron to help with water rescues, navigation and the men whom lived...
