Attractions & Tours

Ever get the feeling someone is following you? Walk with prehistoric creatures at Dinosaur Gardens.

Walk with dinosaurs, sail through a Great Lakes storm, paddle in a kayak, or snowshoe the backcountry. Whatever the season, there are always things to see and do in the Sanctuary of the Great Lakes. From Michigan’s longest continuously-run mini golf course, to one of America’ great roadside attractions featuring a prehistoric zoo, the whole family will find something to love about visiting the Alpena area.

See below for a list of sure-to-please attractions and tours:
