Kids' Day Every Day!

At this 1770s-era fort and fur trading village, every day is kids' day. Kids can immerse themselves in special children's programs like marching in uniform, participating in games, and washing laundry with a washboard and tub. Lift a fur bale, stand on a giant ground map of the Great Lakes fur trading routes, and zoom down a slide in the Kids' Rendezvous Interpretive Playground. Be a voyageur in a reenactment. Witness an ongoing archaeological dig.  With 13 authentically reconstructed buildings, interactive displays, and demonstrations such as open hearth cooking, Native American crafts, and cannon and rifle firings, the entire family--and especially kids-- will be engaged. Located in Mackinaw City.
