Mackinac Island must see and do’s ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍁 Go to Smokey Jose’s ( ) for tacos and tequila flights, sit out back on the patio that faces the lake and island scenery. I’m not going to lie, the tequila flights were my favorite thing there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚲 Rent a bicycle and ride around the island. It was about $46.00 total to rent 2 bikes for a little over 2 hours (with the discount from ), and it’s about an 8 mile ride around the island.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍹 Go to the signature Pink Pony ( )! Enjoy their live music after 9:00PM, and their popular rum punch drink.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏰 Visit the Grand Hotel ( ). It’s beautiful to look at from the outside. I didn’t get a chance to go inside, but I have heard great things. If you do decide to go in, remember there is a dress code and you have to pay $10 to enter.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⛰ Hike some cool spots on the island, especially with the fall colors. To name a few; Arch rock, Fort Mackinac, Fort Holmes, Eagle Point Cave, Sunset Rock, and Anne’s Tablet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍫 Walk downtown and get you some of the islands famous fudge and water taffy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐴 Rent your own horse or carriage to get around the island. I wish I got to do this! If you do, make sure to reserve a horse ahead of time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🦋 Visit the Butterfly House & Insect World ( ). It’s the 3rd oldest live butterfly exhibit in the United States.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know I’m missing something. I only went for 24 hours, and didn’t even get a chance to do some of the things on this list. Tell me what I’m missing to do! I want to go back again, and I am leaning more towards only going during the fall season.
