In these unprecedented times, Pure Michigan wants to share some ways to virtually experience the state. From live cams of beautiful beaches to virtual tours of cultural institutions, we can all use a little escape these day and there’s no better trip (albeit virtually) than right here in our own state!
Explore the UP
Take a virtual tour of the Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie, the Natural Wonders, Bridge & Dam and historic video tours through Manistee.
Sight-see from the Mackinac Bridge
Get a birds-eye-view of the Straits of Mackinac from atop the Mackinac Bridge.
Visit the shores of Lake Michigan
Take a “virtual visit” to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and explore multimedia resources at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
Go into deep waters
See something new in the Great Lakes and explore seven shipwrecks in Thunder Bay.
Watch the butterflies
Take a look online at the Fred & Dorothy Fichter Butterflies Are Blooming exhibition, the largest temporary tropical butterfly exhibition in the nation, to see thousands of tropical butterflies from around the world fly freely at the Meijer Gardens.
Take in the sounds of the state
Listen to the sounds of Michigan State Parks as interpreted by Michigan artists with Pure Sounds of Michigan.
Pure Michigan would also like to echo actions that can be done to support small businesses which are essential to the livelihoods of so many people and the fabric of many places to consider supporting through purchasing gift cards, visiting websites and showing encouragement on social media and review sites.
