I love a lighthouse so we had to swing by and see it even though it was closed. Only being open on Saturday and Sunday is a bit of a bummer but I get it. We got some good photos and also enjoyed the … Full review by Sarah W

After eating lunch downtown, I checked out the lighthouse and even got to climb to the top. The museum has plenty of nautical items on display and a small gift shop. Note it can get quite warm up top… Full review by Illinois Valley R

Beautiful place to visit. Nice walking paths, statues, lighthouse, view of the lake. We got some great pics from outside. Well worth a visit if you love lighthouses and history. Highly recommended. Full review by Andrey N

They have a guided tour one weekend a month (check the schedule) where they provide information and allow you to climb to the top of the lighthouse.The view is spectacular! It's a tranquil area. If the water is low you can walk along the water line. It's worth the stop if you're in the area.
I'm trying to make plans for our trip late summer. I realize you're not open at this time, but could you tell me what the normal weekday hours are to help with planning? Thanks!
A:
Open 1-4 pm on Saturdays and Sundays year round. Please check the Web site for additional summer hours.
Do you still give certificate for climbing to the top? How many stairs?

Yes, Pat, we certainly do still hand certificates out for climbing. They were initially intended for kids, but we realized that many adults wanted them as well; so just ask for yours at the desk! We are currently closed for restoration; plans are to reopen sometime in spring -- please keep checking out web site. There are 84 steps, with the last 13 being an open metal rung ladder leading into the lantern room. A little challenging, but well worth the view!
I'd like to know the docent touring hours for this weekend - May 9th & 10th; prices for Adults & Children [ages of Children that qualify for the discount as well as senior ages & discounts]. Google notes that your website may be hacked and so I am trying to ascertain the information this way. Does the park have a playground included and about how much time should we allow for the docent-led tour, picture-taking & to take a 'quality look around the lighthouse inside'? Cyndy Romano
