We really liked the grounds and although the falls are not that impressive they are easy to access. We attempted the gnome scavenger hunt and walked about. I think paying a fee is fine but $8 per person is steep. $10/car seems more realistic.

You're paying to see this one, but there are extras.
Jun 2021
This is a private falls, which means you are going to be paying to see it. I don't recall exactly what it cost, but I remember thinking it was a few dollars too expensive for what it was.
The falls are pretty, but Munising Falls down the road is much more impressive. You can gut up close to this one and the trail up to the cliff is pretty. Luckily, there are a few extras you get to do. There is a fish pond where you can feed the fish. There are quite a variety of trees and plants and information posted about each species. They had some sort of scavenger hunt for the kids to do, which we didn't mess with. My 17 year old wasn't into that. The gift shop was pretty nice and they did have ice cream, which was pretty good.
All in all, it was a good stop. The grounds are very nice and offer a lot of photo opportunities. The falls are not as impressive as the nearby free stops. I wasn't disappointed at all, but thought it was a bit over priced, even though there was only 2 of us. I'm glad we stopped as I would have been annoyed with myself for missing pictures of a water fall that was easy to get to.

Small Falls - Nice little walk about
Jul 2020 • Couples
If you are looking for something to do and a place to go, this is OK for that. Paying $8 per person to see the falls was a bit steep but it was a nice location and gift shop.
I’ll give it a lower rating due to having to pay to see a waterfall.

No thanks on this waterfall!!!!
Jun 2021 • Couples
We’ve been visiting waterfalls in the Upper Peninsula. All were beautiful and free. Horseshoe Falls, on the other hand, is run by greedy people who are charging $10 per person to see one of nature’s works of art. Just because they have an ugly building close to the falls, they think they have the right to fence the area off and to charge people. No thanks!!!

This is not a free waterfalls but the gift shop is nice
Jul 2021
This waterfall is on private property and is a pay to access falls. It was $10 per person which seemed a bit steep. I think $5 would be more appropriate or free with the purchase of something from the gift shop. It was a pretty waterfall and they had some extra short trails that went to a wishing well and a pond. They had a lot of Gnomes which were cute. There was also a gift shop which was cute and had a lot of unique and fantasy themed items.

Wouldn’t Recommend
Sep 2021 • Couples
While the waterfall itself is beautiful...the price per adult admission is $10. My husband and I couldn’t justify paying $20 to see this one waterfall when there are several other in the area that are free! While the gift. Shop is cute, I think overall this is just something to skip and see all the other awesome waterfalls in town!

Greedy increase in admission fees
Jun 2021 • Family
Newer building since we were here last and a huge upcharge in admission. They wanted $34 for 2 adults and 2 toddlers. Insane. We turned around and walked out. Maybe $15 for a family, but not that for a waterfall and a chance to feed fish in a pond.

Nice grounds, average waterfall
Jul 2020
We had arrived in Munising late afternoon and had a boat tour scheduled at 5:30, so we had a little time to kill. Munising was the final stop of a whirlwind week of waterfalls and lighthouses in central and western UP. Horseshoe Falls was nearby, so we figured we'd hit it, before our boat tour. I was a little shocked at the $8 pp entrance fee, after seeing a large amount of waterfalls for free, or included in the cost of the state park annual pass. But we opted to pay it and go in. As others have said, just an average waterfall. The grounds were nice and the kids enjoyed the gnome scavenger hunt. Nice gift shop. Was it worth the $8 pp? Maybe not. But after a week of basically free outdoor adventure, it didn't kill us to pay it.

Great variety of nice gifts
Jun 2021 • Couples
We decided not to see the falls because there are so many others you can see for free. But the gift shop was very nice; if that's your thing, I'd definitely recommend it. Great variety of rocks, jewelry, Tiffany style lamps, stickers, ice cream, tshirts, etc. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great staff and cute gnomes!
Jun 2020 • Friends
Great places for souvenirs and ice cream. Lots of options for everyone in the store. From jewelry, magnets, shirts, hats, and wood carvings. All great and decent priced! Loved this place! The falls were a short hike and had gnomes for you to spot along the way. Lots of water and a lovely walk.
