The Great Lakes region offers a wide array of natural, cultural, and entertainment attractions across five Great Lakes, eight US states, and one Canadian province. Whether you are interested in exploring the natural wonders of the lakes, taking in museums and other cultural attractions, or looking for the excitement of top-notch amusement and water parks, the Great Lakes have something for everyone.

For those who cannot travel, are looking for inspiration, or simply want to explore this amazing region from home, we have put together a (nearly) complete list of virtual tours and experiences from around the Great Lakes. We gathered many of our museum entries from the Google Arts and Culture Gallery. You can see a map online here. Another great general resource is the National Parks System website. We gathered many of our national parks tours from this page, as well as various state and local park system pages. Local Convention and Visitors Bureaus are also a great source of travel information, and you will see them sprinkled throughout this list. All of the items on this list are located within an hour drive of a Great Lake, with most of the attractions less than a half an hour away from the lakes.

As we discover more online opportunities, we will continue to add them. Feel free to sit back and take a quick virtual trip, and contact us with any suggestions. Continuing to the list for virtual trips by state/province!
