Mark Diskin

Philip J. Carney II

Great view...nice place to sit and listened about the Freighters going by. Things to look and read about. River walk is nearby. There is also outdoor sitting. A small concession is available to buy snacks and drink.

Joe Tuttle

Nice viewing area, good information

Cynthia LaCroix

Peaceful. Beautiful

Lynda Evans-Powers

Fun little place for those who want to watch the freighters. Great information available. Nice cafe inside and added food trucks in the summer.

Kevin McKeown

Greg Dobie

This is a wonderful place to stay and eat watching the Fraighters, Sailboats, other boats and many stuff to do here all so on Saturday Farmers Market This is where I stay and sleep in my car at night and I count 8 Fraighters passing by.

Have never returned. I was doing a paper about different nationality ships coming thru the river and got a lot of information. One morning my husband used the bathroom and i got coffee and donuts. The security guard thru my husband out. Then thru me out, i called the owner he had the nierve to ask me if i wanted my money back and told me never to return or i would get a trespassing. I was just shocked and taken back. Frankly it hurt his tourists attraction because i make sure everyone knows what kind of man runs this and i have made sure he gets less than what he had. Sad too because it could be a hit but when you judge people before you really know them thats what you get.

One of a kind! A must see when in Port Huron. A nice welcome center with a small restaurant, indoor dining, and clean restrooms. It is also home to 'Boatnerd' - a shipping website for the Great Lakes. It is also home to the PH Farmer's Market. Some neat displays and historical pics. They have outdoor seating and a nice boardwalk at the confluence of the Black & St. Clair rivers. A great place to boat watch and see freighters.

Nice place --- could put more into the place to make it more comfortable ; also to make people interested - add some activity , at least a seperate area where the could be more attractions

Charlene Arnold

Sat and listened to them announce what vessels were going up and down the river. Very clean and lots of information.

Paul Melcher

It's a great area to be at. Tons of different people meet here at different times. The morning to mid day the seniors are enjoying a coffee by the water while late at night it's a bustling pokemon go stop! The only reason I take away a star is for the restaurant itself. It's not high quality. The food isn't why you stop though. This is a great location for port huron sightseeing.

The location is great to watch the Lakers go by there's a farmers market on section days of the week. There is an ice cream stand outside with the best icecream

A very nice place to visit. Up on the water. In the summer there is a french fry truck with lots of goodies. And the Vault Ice Cream truck with a nice selection of ice cream to choose from.

Not a friendly place to visit or to enjoy time by the water. Very sad and a waste of beautiful resources.

Justin Russell

A nice place to chill and take in the view. The "free WiFi " isn't that good. Lots of freighter traffic from the ship's and those watching them. Host's the farmers market twice a week in the summer, so that's a plus. Has a gravel parking lot so expect a lot of dust on a windy summer day.

Very interesting, they had 2 older gentmen there that was very knowable

Vicki Smith

So much to learn and the info is right there. Hospitable staff/volunteers.

Patty Graham

We always stop here for a few minutes coming from Wayne County to enjoy Lake Huron beaches. They had a very interesting lady named Trish who was offering to tell us about the history of Port Huron. It was amazing and interesting. However, fishing around about a tip afterwards was more than awkward because we were not prepared. We thought she was a volunteer (since it said so on her button) thought it was part of the museum's staff, and had no idea we were supposed to pay for her info afterwards. Not that I would mind giving her a tip, had we have known and prepped for it ahead of time. Don't misunderstand, she's a fantastic addition to the maritime museum! They have a wonderful asset with her service there, and they should keep her on. Only please mention a tip/donation BEFOREHAND next time please? That was embarrassing for us.

Randy Hanley

Clean and comfortable. Nice little sandwich bar. Great view of the St. Clair river.

There's a really nice little breakfast/lunch counter, where you can order the "Special of the Day" or a freshly made soup, sandwich, salad, pastry, as well as unique teas and coffees. The staff alert patrons to any inbound or outbound ships, adding to the announcement, a bit of information and history about the vessel.

Stephane Hurtubise

Great place to come and watch the freighters pass by and get a nice up close view. Stop on the way somewhere else for your food and beverage, the food served here are over priced and mediocre in quality. This is a great place. So much to learn inside or get a meal.

This is a nice place with glass-fronted so that you can sit at the table and look out on the lake at the freighters. It also has information on shipwrecks and different fish species. It evidently used to have a coffee bar inside and I don't know if it wasn't sustainable financially, but it would have been nice to be able to buy a coffee and a snack and sit and chat with friends.
