The Mustard Seed
The cutest used bookstore that you will find in the upper Peninsula! 📚It’s a hidden gem, and a really amazing find! The amount of books that they have here is insane, and it just seems to go on and on and on (don’t get lost in the book isles!!) The ...

FUN FOR THE FAMILY 🎳🍦
mini golf and ice cream? Yes please! It’s a super cute mini golf course, perfect for families. It’s simple, but it does the job, is relatively cheap, and the staff is amazing! We’ve gone every summer… multiple times!!🍦⛳️✨
Yoo-Par Scoops
this is actually the cutest bowling alley ever! But be warned it’s not technologically advanced so you’re keeping your own score! The couple who owns it is so sweet, and it’s one of my family’s favorite things to do while in Manistique! 🎳🫶
Ten Pin Alley
okay so this *may* not be in the upper peninsula, but it’s an easy and fun way to experience some Canadian hockey!! it’s about an hour from the Mackinac bridge.
Soo Greyhounds -
My brother loves to mini golf, but it was winter. We decided to take the long drive to Escanaba to UPutt, and had a great experience!! Black light mini golf, an arcade, and a snack bar - what else could you ask for?!?
UPutt Family Fun Center
I think this is the best Zoo I've ever been to! It wasn't super crowded, and it was well-kept. There was a chicken we could feed that kept running around the grounds, and a tube you could roll an apple down to feed a bear! This is definitely worth ch...
