Ok, so I stated very good. That is debatable. The place is kind of run down, but there is some humor to it. The gift shops were nicer than I had expected. We all found something to buy. The outside museum was very quirky and sure wouldn't interest all. Though let me end with this...it isn't a New York art museum. It is a YOOPER Tourist trap and I found it worthwhile to drive a few miles from Marquette to check it out.

Stopped here on a whim, and I literally laughed out loud. If you appreciate kitschy humor and self deprecating humor in an innovative Red Green kind of way, you must stop here. It's free and has a cool rock shop as well.

A great place for Yooper history in Ishpeming, MI. It has both the "touristy" stuff plus geological information related to the minerals and stones of the Upper Peninsula. Definately you want to visit at least a couple of times!

The place looks run down - driveway needs to be paved ; Same old outdoor exhibits that have been there forever . Plenty of touristy merch , yes of course it's overpriced . Store should be expanded , difficult to look at all the crammed in merch plus the aisles are narrow. The two women working at the checkout counter were downright rude . When I approached & l put my purchases on the counter they immediately exchanged smirky glances with each other . They looked at me with feigned shock because I'm different from them . I was nicely dressed & well groomed & yes I have social skills . I've noticed this snotty attitude from a few other local women in the Ishpeming area .

We stopped in to look at their rock collection and hoped to buy some nice examples of datolite and prehinite. We tried several times to speak with the man sitting behind the counter but he just stared at his computer screen and completely ignored us. We asked questions and continually received no response. We really couldn't understand it. He looked at us when we walked in so he knew we were there. We saw something we would have liked to have bought, but obviously we didn't. I don't think I have ever been in such a rude shop.

Great pit stop for tourists, especially ones that are new to Yooper culture. You will laugh, you will scoff, it's worth a stop!

Fun place for a pit stop. Interesting and humorous setup outside that will definitely catch any drivers attention. They also have a great little gift shop and rock/gem shop. My family came across this place years ago and we never forgot about it.

Humorous displays of life in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Well worth stopping to look. Easy access to highway, friendly staff.

Ok folks, first off, even if you aren't a Yooper (a native of the U. P., or, Upper Peninsula), you can still stop in. They WANT you to stop in. Really. They probably have the greatest assemblage of Upper Peninsula knick-knacks on the UP, at pretty reasonable prices. You want shirts, they got shirts. You want stickers? They got stickers. You got a sweet tooth? They got maple syrup. Basically, anything that you could want to take or send home to let folks know you were fortunate enough to spend some time up north on the UP, you can find it here. They also have a neat rock shop, and the world's largest rifle and chain saw, outside along the highway. And the folks are friendly and helpful with direction, even if you have an obvious Southern drawl like I did.
So be sure when you travel thru here on 26 that you hang a right at the ginormous chain saw (Big Gus), and load up you vehicle with shiny souvenirs for the kids and grandkids from Michigan's little piece of Heaven. And as always, Happy Motoring!

This a is great stop if you like "da' yoopers." It's funny and you can see some the things they talked about in their CDs. It's also got a very nice gift shop and two bathrooms.
