Freighter Golf: Around the Great Lakes

Bring your family to the National Museum of the Great Lakes for a creative twist on mini golf. This event takes place aboard the historic Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship and features five custom putting holes, each inspired by one of the Great Lakes. As you play, you'll learn about the region's rich maritime history, landmarks, and heritage—making it as educational as it is fun. The best part? Freighter Golf is included with your museum ship admission, so there's no extra cost to participate. This activity works well for families, friends, and solo visitors of all skill levels. Throughout the month, there are weekly hole-in-one opportunities where you could win a free museum membership. It's a casual, enjoyable way to spend a few hours while celebrating Great Lakes culture.
