A grand array of historical artifacts and gorgeous views from the top if you climb the stairs. Definitely worth the trip and the visit. We spent an hour there and enjoyed every minute.

Lakeshore Museum Center

The Lakeshore Museum offers exhibits which explore the natural and cultural history of the area. Exhibits include a look at 400 years of Michigan in the making and a life sized mastodon. Several galleries offer hands-on opportunities.

First things first, this is free for Muskegon residents and residents of the county. All others, there is a $4 entrance charge. This was not clear from the reviews and even from the signage. That said, we really enjoyed it and were happy to have stopped by. The museum is a bit of everything science center, art museum (a special exhibit from a local artist's work during WWII, excellently done), history center and children's museum. We spent more time than we thought we would, learned more than we ever expected and had a great time. Definitely worth the money!

USS Silversides Submarine Museum

Reviewed By momofnks - Ann Arbor, United States

This museum was a great part of our trip. We were traveling with our 20 something age sons. The museum itself has strong exhibits of all branches, genders, and races of WWll service people. The submarine itself was impactful for even my veteran husband to witness, even after we have toured other subs in the past. Definitely a worthwhile activity for a Muskegon stay.

Fire Barn Museum

Reviewed By MidwestKathM - Detroit, United States

Nestled into the surrounding historic neighborhood, this fire museum in a reproduction fire hall building is quite the place. I roamed around the first floor enjoying the exhibits and the fire truck. My husband looked at all the exhibits, watched the videos, talked with the staffer, and went upstairs to see where the fireman "lived" while on duty. Totally enjoyed it!! And it was free as part of our admission to the Hackley-Hume House tour. Admission limited to 6 people at a time; masks required.
