A great place to take the family. It's fun to watch the ships come thru the Locks and wave to the workers. How lonely it must be for them on the lakes, especially in the winter! They look so happy to see other people

An outstanding place to visit and learn about the significance of shipping on the Great Lakes. It is easy to locate right on the Main Street and the river. The visitors center has a viewing area to watch ships so make sure you get to see one or more. The grounds are beautiful, especially in the autumn. There are restaurants close by. Great stop and only 50 miles from Mackinaw City.

The importance and history of the Soo Locks are fascinating and the Visitor Center does a great job presenting how the Locks came to be. They also very well illustrate how the Locks work and what products are often transported. It’s also free to go through and the viewing platform provides fantastic views of ships coming into and out of the Locks.

Under government guard so expect to be checked in. This is a nicely kept clean facility. A very neat 2 story viewing deck partially glass enclosed is located behind the visitors center. Stay and watch the huge ships and freighters come through the docks. Inside the visitors center building you will find enriched history as you learn all about the Soo Locks beginning and through the years. A video room is available to select different short films to view at your leisure. Clean restrooms. Nicely landscaped.
