Very cold the day we went and this was in june! Lighthouse has a tour available for its guests. we decided to go on our own excursion around the site for great uninterrupted pictures. A really long set of steps are available to bring you close to the pump house which is about 300 yards away from the actual lightouse...

Beautiful site with guided tours & friendly staff. This is a must see when up on the north shore. There are also hiking trails in the area with easy paved paths & picnic areas.

We spent a wonderful afternoon here and felt like we were back in time. The place is immaculate and very up to date. The tour guides are very helpful. You can take a guided tour or a self-tour. The cost for adults is $8 and you don't have to buy a state park ticket to see the lighthouse area. Plus,...

We opted to take the short tour of the light house grounds. Our guide was full of interesting info. At the lighthouse, he left us to explore the staff homes, oil house, lighthouse, and fog horn building (I forget what this was actually called). The homes and lighthouse were staffed with people in costume to educate on life in the...

We enjoyed this stop in our North Shore trip. The history is fasinating and the staff are informative and friendly. Climb to the top to see the rotating light. The homes were also interesting and quite nice for the period.

Visited here in June for open house. Thought it would be crowded, but it wasn't. Guides were informative and helpful. Lighthouse and surroundings are well-preserved. A must-see while on the North Shore

I was a little hesitant to pay $9 to see a light house, but it was well worth it. I encourage you to take the free ranger guided tour and to watch the video. This is the only light house in North America with the lens balancing on a container filled with Mercury. Also, worth walking down the steps to...

Great to see that places like the Split Rock Lighthouse are being preserved and maintained. The lighthouse and the supporting structures are all in top-notch shape. And the Visitor's Center is a sight to see. Go!

I've been to Split Rock in the summer, but it was nice to visit on a snowy day in April. We were a couple of weeks too early to go inside the lighthouse, but that also saved us quite a bit of money. We only paid the $5 per car entrance fee and were able to see everything in the...
