The strangest attraction in St. Ignace in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a place called The Mystery Spot. Thousands of visitors have stopped at the Mystery Spot to experience the weirdness of this place where “gravity does strange things” (or more accurately, your brain does strange things as it tries to make sense of contradictory input).
Why is this place known as The Mystery Spot? In the early 1950s a few surveyors were exploring Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and one day when they realized that none of their equipments were working properly, in a circle about 300 feet in diameter. And that gave birth to a mystery spot!
The guided tour of Mackinac Island will take you through the physical sensations, optical contradictions, optical illusion and light headed that make this place so unique. You’ll also get a chance to experience some tourist traps on your trip!
The Mystery Spot is located 5 miles west of St. Ignace and the Mackinac Bridge on Highway US-2.
Visitors often feel astonished because they can’t seem to stand up straight, no matter how hard they try.
Apart from the mystery, this place has a wooden fort maze, 18 hole mini golf and 2 zip-lines for added fun.
