Plus, checking out charming cities like Marquette and Whitefish Point gives you a taste of local history and beautiful lakeside views.
A thrill-seeker’s paradise, boasting some of the world’s tallest and fastest roller coasters alongside a beautiful lakeside setting. Chase adrenaline on Steel Vengeance, Millennium Force, and other great coasters.
