Admission is free and staff is friendly! Lots of local exhibits as well as lots of history about the area. Really large parking lot which can accomidate big RV's. Never really busy when we've gone. Be sure to go up to the observation tower to get a 360 view of the land. A national wildlife refuge is on the same... More

Some interesting things to see in the center and a nice hiking trail on their grounds. Make sure to go to the top of the center and check out the numbers on what birds have all been sited.

There is a nice museum of the local history and plenty of information on the travel attractions in the area. Take time to go on the hike around the property. Gift shop is not great, but the other information is great.

A little dull, no one there could detail local history. They simply pointed to exibits and the souvenir shop. The souvenirs were NOT locally made for the most part.

A treasure trove of local history form native American life to Lake Superior fisherman and lumberjack lore. Mining too! Kid friendly with many interactive gadgets for kids to enjoy with hands on experiences. We've visited many times and it is a great place for any day, but is always good to keep in mind as a cool or rainy day... More

We visited the center on a blustery winter day and loved every minute of it. Our grandchildren are 1, 3, and 5. There was something special for each one of them. Many of the displays are interactive. We left and returned later to snowshoe the trail behind the center. Snowshoes are available for free use. What fun we had!

This modern building is not your typical roadside visitors' center. It is beautiful, interactive visitor center with museum, art gallery, viewing tower, great gift shop and hiking trails. In Winter one can rent snow shoes to trump around the property. In simmer, one can walk the trials. Coffee is available for free. There is something for all ages here -... More

This is a nice stop along Highway 63. I would recommend this stop for families who are interested in learning more about the area and about Lake superior. If you go to the top of the building you are able to walk around the catwalk which has elevated views of Lake superior this is the best part.
