If want to tour the lighthouse, you need to purchase it in the museum. You can walk around it for free on the trails. The mosquitoes are very hungry in the brush. And you need to be in some shape to traverse some of the rocks if you want a picture from front side of the lighthouse.

Lovely lighthouse. Missed the tour but looked around the area. Fun area to explore. It was a bit steep in certain areas. Great place to look out at the water.

This is a well maintained lighthouse along Lake Superior. You have to pay to see the lighthouse and museum, otherwise you cannot go in the lighthouse. Signage leading to the attraction can use some work as we had trouble finding it.

Cute lighthouse on the top of a hill. Right next to some really cool rocks that you can walk out on. Super easy to access. Breathtaking views.

We did not go on the lighthouse tour but walked all around it. The lake shore was pretty and a relatively easy walk. The view was amazing.

We didn't go in for the tour. Wish we had so we could've went out closer to the lighthouse in the lake. But the view from the beach is beautiful also.

Beautiful site to see. Nice view of Lake Superior and plenty of photo opportunities. You can walk around the grounds and they offer tours through the museum. The museum is located right close to the lighthouse.

Another fantastic Lighthouse of the Great Lakes. The tour was very informative even with a large number of children. Would have been nicer to be able to go up to the light but understandable with such a large group.

Beautiful beach! Also a great view of the light house.
This place is a must to see and visit. Great summertime spot!

First time in Marquette. First place we visited was Harbor Lighthouse. Partner thought it looked like the one from the movie fog. Very colourful Lighthouse which absolutely stands out. The views of Lake Superior from the Lighthouse rocks are just amazing and definitely a must do.
