Mackinac Island Visitors Bureau executive director Mary McGuire Slevin said its hard to pick a favorite spot to eat, but suggested the following for different crowds:
Family: Three Brothers Sarducci or Horns Bar, both on Main (Huron) Street
On the cheap: Douds Market, Main (Huron) Street — subs, sandwiches and soft drinks
Young adult crowd: The Pink Pony at the Chippewa Hotel, Main (Huron) Street — drinks are served on the expansive deck
Upscale: Hotel Iroquois — try out the luncheon buffet
Fudge: Cant forget this island staple. Murdicks on Main (Huron) Street was the first to set up shop on the island.
Other attractions:
Haunting experience
The Haunted Theatre on Main (Huron) Street is a wax monster museum that dates back to 1974. Many of the legendary monsters in Mackinac history were crafted by Dale Kuipers, who went on to create works for Hollywood.
Towering museum
The Tower Museum offers five floors of history, culminating with a view of the Straits of Mackinac. The first floor talks of the Moral Rearmament, the second is devoted to maritime history on the Straits, the third to shipwrecks, the fourth to the Mackinac Bridge and the fifth talks of lighthouses. There is no air conditioning or elevator, so keep that in mind before starting out.
Butterflies galore
There are two places to view butterflies on the island — The Butterfly House and Wings of Mackinac. The first space is inside a yellow building, and offers many educational points ideal for adults and children. In addition to the butterflies, theres Insect World, an exhibit on insects with interactive displays.
The Wings of Mackinac has an exotic feel to it, and its greenhouse offers clear views of the area surrounding it. It also features an Atlas moth, which can grow to the size of a dinner plate. Both it and The Butterfly House have 800 to 1,000 butterflies on display at a time from areas throughout the world.
Mackinac Island State Park
This state park covers 80 percent — about 1,800 acres — of the island and is free to the public.
Within the borders lie 70 miles of roads, trails and footpaths, which are popular for hiking, biking, horseback riding and carriage tours, as well as historic sites.
Some of the attractions are Arch Rock and Sugar Loaf rock formations, as well three cemeteries

Wawashkimo Golf Club
Wawashkamo celebrated its Centennial in 1998 and is one of very few American courses laid out in a links style that remains substantially unaltered. Named one of America’s Historic Golf Landmarks by Golf Digest in 1996, Wawashkamo is the only nine-hole course among the dozen in the United States to have been so designated. The development of Wawashkamo Golf Club and the survival of its unique brand of traditional golf parallels the uncommon history of Mackinac Island, a place where much of the flavor of the nineteenth century survives, insulated from the modern world by the blue moat of Lake Huron, a ban on motorized vehicles and public ownership of eighty percent of the land.
