Non-Guest Activities

For the experience of it, for the magic of it. We offer Mackinac Island visitors a variety of ways to enjoy the Grand Hotel experience.

Admission Fee

To enter the hotel and explore our grounds, there is a $10.00 admission fee for ages 10 and up and $5.00 for ages 6-9. Admission is complimentary for ages 5 and under. Admission includes a self-guided tour of the hotel, so visitors can experience the hotel and grounds. Admission tickets may be purchased on site or online.

 

Dining

Each of our Grand Hotel restaurants and bars is open to non-hotel guests — whether it’s at the hotel or on Mackinac Island — and dining in the Main Dining Room is very popular with guests and visitors alike. However, you may have to pay an admission fee to enter the hotel and grounds, depending on the restaurant and time of day.

*Please note: All rates are per person and are subject to 6% Michigan sales tax.

Golf is open to the public at The Jewel, one of the most unique courses in the United States. Enjoy unparalleled scenic beauty, lush landscaping, and meticulously manicured tees, fairways, and greens.
