Lovely building with great information about the area and discount coupons. There are displays the kids will love. Get your Love Lake Erie sticker while you are there and put it on your car. If spotted in the area you can win a prize of your choice. We were spotting in Marblehead and a card was left on our car. It was a nice surprise. The people are also very helpful.

Definitely stop here if its your first time to the Islands. They have so much info on hotels, restaurants, attractions and also coupons for a lot of things too. Be sure to pick up your shores and islands discount card for savings on many of the places in the area. If you plan on visiting PIB get your FunPak tickets here, you won't have to stand in line at the dock office! The girls working there are very nice and helpful and can answer all your questions about the Islands and they give great directions and restaurant suggestions too!

My wife and I found the Visitors Bureau a couple of years ago, and its a place we stop on every visit now. The staff is super friendly and able to help with your visit, fishing, boating, lodging, restaurants, etc. The facility has nice displays that will interest children as well as adults. There is a lot of general information on the area too. If you want a very clean restroom, they are here too.

After a not so good experience in PIB, I stopped in hoping to find some information about something to do that would make this vacation better. I appreciated the honesty of the person working. I explained my situation she told me about the things that could be fun to do. She went out of her way, (even calling one resort to get some pricing.) The facility was amazing, clean, fun, interactive things to do, unfortunately I was just done with the "vacation." I highly recommend, especially lots of coupons etc. for things people do anyway.

This is a must do for kids! They have plenty of info, are super nice, and helpful. But there is a play house ship inside stocked with play food, plenty of discoveries inside, a fairy door hidden with a note that the fairy is away, and to collect a treat she left for you at the desk... and a look and find for the inside too. A great rainy day place for sure.
