Visitors should allow 1-2 hours to thoroughly explore the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center. Those who also want to explore the adjacent Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary (which is highlighted and interpreted through the heritage center) should allow additional time to enjoy associated tours and activities chartered through local businesses. For example, glass-bottom boat tours run about 2 hours.
