This is a very popular haunt in the summer. Great news for winter visitors is you can probably get in without a 2 hour wait. Stray Dog merch is a must have souvenir for those visiting the New Buffalo/Grand Beach area. Food though is marginal but restaurant ambiance is cute.

For animal lovers, the MHS encourages people to come and pet and play with the animals -- especially the kittens/cats. For those not allergic pet lovers, this is such a fun time. Kids love it too.
