This city is quaint and pretty, but is also home to the largest wood-beam structure in the world (the Superior Dome). The restaurants are unique and yummy and quite fairly priced. The shops have nearly anything you could possibly need, and if the downtown doesn't handle all your shopping needs, head west to the "big-box" stores. The best part of... More

Beautiful park and walking trail, complete with outdoor sculpture and art and a great playground for the kids along the lakeside of the downtown. Lots of interesting shops and restaurants, terrific food co-op, and we loved the farmer's market! You won't regret spending a day in downtown Marquette.

Many shops highlight Michigan artists, especially those from the U.P. We love those. Don't miss Moon Stones!

The shopping wasn't what I expected for a touristy town. I imagined it would be comparable to Petoskey or even Traverse but it definitely didn't compare to either of those towns. Although, there were lots of shops.

Go down to the waterfront and see the lower harbor loading dock and take advantage of some pretty good restaurants. Truely enjoyed our visit - and particularly enjoyed downtown Marquette.
