If you like big great lakes ships this is the place to be. Shipping schedule changes so be prepared to see one or many go thru the Locks.Good platform to view from. Ship move slow so plan on staying awhile. Security check as you enter.
Nice visitor center. Friendly helpful staff. Free admission. Two story pavilion right next to Lock 1 provides excellent close up views of lock operations. Well worth a visit.
Very nice center. Very helpful and knowledgeable people to answer any questions. Viewing platform can get very full when a boat is in locks. Top level has open area to easily view the boats. Everything is free to enter. Very nice grounds around it too.
Under government guard so expect to be checked in. This is a nicely kept clean facility. A very neat 2 story viewing deck partially glass enclosed is located behind the visitors center. Stay and watch the huge ships and freighters come through the docks. Inside the visitors center building you will find enriched history as you learn all about the Soo Locks beginning and through the years. A video room is available to select different short films to view at your leisure. Clean restrooms. Nicely landscaped.
This was a really fun time for our family. We were able to see two freighters and the tour boat go through the locks. We spent about two hours here. There are a lot of little shops around the area outside of the center. Definitely stop inside and check the arrival time of the next freighter.
