    We are glad we came here despite of some reviews that say it wasn't worth it. We really had fun! These silly set ups were attention grabbing for my three children. They loved running from scene to scene. The gift shop and the gem shop were both great. We found souvenirs for every member of the family with great prices! We ended up coming back a second time before we left just to make sure we got everything we wanted.

    This place is hilarious! They know it’s a tourist trap and are proud of it. It’s free to enter with tons of free stuff to see and have a good laugh at. Make sure you buy something from the gift shop so they can keep this place going for generations to come. Don’t be a scum bag and just leave after you take the walk around the property.

    Great selection of minerals, ores, rocks and crystals. Quite a selection of finished crafts made with copper and other ores.

    What a fun little stop. I love the sarcastic sense of humor in their "sculpture garden" The gift shop has a lot of different fun things and fairly priced. We did not get to visit the rock house but next time we will for sure! Thanks for the fun side adventure.

    Fun little tourist attraction. The kids had a lot of fun seeing all the different things they have. Humongous chainsaw, giant gun, gigantic wheelbarrow all sorts of fun stuff to look at outside. The stores inside have all manner of fun souvenirs and fun gifts. Worth the stop for sure!

    My husband was very excited to take me to this place on our vacation because he knows how much i live off the wall attractions. This place did not disappoint. I definitely recommend stopping!

    This is the cutest little place i've seen at a long time!. Old cars and old snowmobile's all put together to make a cute little show. The gift shop is amazing with so many Things you don't see anywhere else. Well worth the trip!

    A roadside mecca that is a must-see for travelers that want to get a fun taste of Midwest culture. There are gifts for every type of person in your life, and the shirts are amazing

    Great little stop!! We thought it'd be quick. We thought wrong. So much to look at! Really neat and unique things! The rock shop could definitely take a lot of my money lol and that's really saying something because they have excellent quality and priced items!! We will absolutely be back!

    For a tourist trap it’s pretty great. Lots of interesting stuff to look at ( for free), lots of photo ops. They gift shop has lots of fun stuff and reasonable prices.

    Fun place to visit and shop! A variety of everything. A must see if you're in the area. Friendly, helpful staff.

    Well, it's touristy haha. But a great selection, cool rocks and comical yard art. Worth the stop. Lots of parking. We'll stop again when we pass through.

  • 5/5 Jerry H. 10 months ago on Google
    Super fun with lots of kitsch, and outdoor displays of "yooper smarts". The name properly reflects what you should expect, but there is also free coffee, free restrooms and $1 water/pop. Stop by and browse and pickup a Tshirt with both fun and sometimes rude sayings.

  • 5/5 Randy S. 8 months ago on Google
    This place is a must to visit. So many different things to see that u won't see anywhere many in the world. The gift shop is far the best one I've ever seen. They have it all from clothes to stickers to anything Yupper you could b collecting!!

    This was a great place to stop and stretch our legs while driving through the Upper Peninsula. The outdoor sights made us chuckle, and the gift shop was well-stocked and clean. Great prices, too!

  • 5/5 Dj A. 11 months ago on Google
    Definitely a must!! So much fun. We stopped and did some shopping and walking around. We’d stop here again!

    An amazingly funny place that anyone from the Midwest can relate to. The gift shop is full of trinkets for everyone. A great place to visit if you're looking for a laugh.

  • 5/5 Cyndee R. 11 months ago on Google
    It’s a great place to stop if you need souvenirs or any little gifts for people. They have some fun things outside to see too. The rock shop out front is definitely worth a visit too.

  • 5/5 Jody L. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice store! Wide variety of items from gifts, food, & clothing. Get your souvenirs here! Decent prices! Separate rock shop with all sorts of stones and gems. Don't leave without a yooperlite or Petoskey stone. Fun stuff outside to check out if you have kids.

    This place is wild. The UP is a culture unto itself and I'm so glad I visited from the lower peninsula. I think the Tourist Trap really encapsulates the UP culture in one fell swoop, from the largest working rifle in the world, to the kitschy artwork/sculptures to the unbelievable storytelling on the plaques around the grounds I 100% recommend visiting for this cultural immersion experience

    I went on a mini vacation with my wife and two of my best friends. On the way home we came across this and we just had to stop. It was funny and amazing at all the stuff that you can see. I'll put a couple pics but I don't want to ruin it for everyone do you have to go check it out yourself.
