Visitor tip
Start with the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame exhibit—it's consistently highlighted as a standout attraction and excellent historical record that justifies a visit on its own.
Visitor tip
Tuesday mornings feature 'Preschool Tuesdays' with a PBS room—ideal for young children, though reviews note the museum may not hold interest for very young kids overall due to reading-heavy content.

What visitors say
It was a great little experience. Free for Bay County Residents. $2/per person or $5/Family. It's a fun activity to do, neat to check out. There's 2 stories to walk through & check everything out. They keep a lost/found just in case you…
Great Bay City history along with MI Rock'n roll and local maritime history. Five star displays and pics. No entrance fee but contributions welcome. We spent a couple of hours and could have spent more. Friendly staff. Highly recommended!
We love preschool Tuesdays! Everyone is always so warm and welcoming and the PBS room is fantastic!
