Going to the apple orchard/cider mill is a tradition for my family. We went to Miller's Big Red for years, until it was sold and the new owners removed all of the family friendly attractions. This year we needed to keep the tradition alive and found Westview Orchards/Winery. Had a great time. Westview has ALL of the attractions we love - wagon rides, corn maze, apple picking, and a store to purchase cider, donuts and all the things we love. Kudos to you Westview and your wonderful staff. You allow us to keep our annual tradition alive. THANK YOU!

My favorite place for fall activities with friends or family. I visit this orchard at least twice a year. Took my parents here recently on a Tuesday afternoon for apply picking and we had such a a great time. You buy your tickets at the front. The staff are always friendly, they kindly explain all the prices and any other questions that we have. We were told where to wait for the ride/tractor to the apple field. Didn't take long at all! The driver that day was the sweetest lady! She was informative and told us which apple was her favorite and what to look out for. Going to any orchard can be pricey but Westview is worth it! They keep this place tidy and fun for all visitors.. already made plans with a few other friends so I'll will be back in a few days (they also have best cornmaze btw). Highly recommend Westview!

Had an amazing day with the family here. The staff went above and beyond for us too. We got our time wrong and arrived 1 hour before they officially opened. The staff offered to open the playground area for us early so our kids could play. Not only did the kids have a blast on everything but it was very affordable.

Would have given them 5 stars, but the slide was closed. I did not see any signs to get to the corner maze. The did have a petting and play area for kids.

During the week is the best time to go in the fall! The hayride out to the pumpkin patch was so fun. I’ve never seen a more beautiful pumpkin patch in my whole life. Some other cider mills have the most boring patches with hardly any to pick from. This place was loaded!

Wonderful place to pick fresh fruits and vegetables. Delicious donuts, cider, pastries, and other fresh products are available for sale too. What an amazing place to visit and spend a few hours.

Love coming here every year for apples. They have the BEST APPLES. I wait all year for my Spy Fortunes. I also like the prices way more then some other places.

I absolutely adore Stony Creek Metropark. Over the years my family and I have visited, not only for simple outdoor enjoyment and swimming, but for a range of events; 5K races, Night of the Dragon, Nature center programs, and birthday parties. They have a multitude of different areas throughout the park, so there are a ton of options for your day, and it's also pet friendly in the majority of areas (minus the nature center, beach, and no swimming at the lake). You could take your kids to their large play area at Eastwood beach, head out for some disc golfing, stay the weekend at their campground, head to the boat drop in and spend the day in the lake, take a swim and enjoy the beach, hike one of the many trails, or take your pup to one of the two off leash dog park areas. There are bathroom facilities available throughout the park, as well as benches, picnic tables and charcoal grills found in multiple locations. Really everything you could need to enjoy a day out in Nature, both on you own or with family/friends. Everything appears very well maintained, and staff has always been helpful and kind on the few times I needed to speak to someone. I highly, highly recommend Stony Creek Metropark. Worth the trip.

Great park, almost worth the $40 annual metro park pass fee on its own. Great beaches during the summer, beautiful tree color changes in the fall. Plenty of trails for all level of activities (biking, running, leisurely walking, dogs, etc). Don’t speed here when driving around though, it’s jam packed with cops.

We love playing in the lake and sand at Eastwood Beach. Bathrooms are close to the water and playground. Lots of variety at the playground: big kids love the climbing rope section and there are a few unusual features for them (a rotating ring to walk on, for example). Also, swings and a large toddler section that actually keeps the younger ones entertained for a while.

Excellent place for all ages and for all walks of life. Whether it's a quiet picnic with family and friends or a fitness session of trail walking and biking; a nature lover to absorb the sunset or a bird watcher, you have it all here. Not far from the city and we were able to spot few species of birds and a herd of deers.

Absolutely love visiting! The disc golf course stole my heart but getting to see nature and its beauty while doing something I love, how wonderful!! You guys make it a good metropark for everyone!

Stoney Creek has so much for the whole family. Do you like fishing? Well, then there are awesome spots throughout the park for you. Do you enjoy scenic nature hikes? There are so many different trails to choose from with well marked maps. If swimming, kayaking, canoeing, or paddle boarding are for you, definitely come here. My family and I have come here for years. This is our get away from the concrete jungle and it isn't a far drive. My you gest children learned how to swim here, their first interactions with nature were here. The only thing you need to be wary of, on the trails there are ticks. Make sure you wear the proper clothes for hiking and wear deet. The other bug sprays aren't going to help you combat ticks.

Absolutely great place for everyone who wants to move around. Plenty of trails and the place is just so massive. Everything is well marked and organized. Place is clean and marked. Just beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous! Took my family about 4 hours but we enjoyed every minute of it. The penguins were probably my top favorite. Second favorite was the polar bear. So entertaining. It was too cold for some of the animals to be out, but the staff was very interactive with quite a few exhibits. Definitely a great time.

The Detroit Zoo is such a fun place to spend the day! It’s super clean, easy to walk around, and has so many amazing animals to see. The polar bears and penguins were the highlights for me—especially the penguin exhibit, which is just awesome. You can get really close and watch them swim right past you.There is also a short train ride (though expensive considering they charge for one way ride and double up if you want to return) which is fun for kids. There’s a nice mix of big animals like giraffes and lions, plus smaller areas for birds and reptiles. It’s great for kids, but adults will have a blast too. Recommend to purchase giraffe feeding tickets in advance as they are limited for the day. There is also the dragon forest and the carousel that adds to the fun activities to do. There are lots of shady spots and benches to take a break, which is nice on hot days. Food inside is fine but a bit pricey, so maybe bring a few snacks. Staff were friendly and helpful, and parking was easy. Recommend parking near the water tower as that is closest to the entry gates. Overall, it’s a great day out for the whole family!

Very good day. We lucked out with great weather, had no issues getting a wheelchair for one of our party recovering after surgery. We went for Dragon Forrest, but also as none of us had been there in a few years. The Penguin exhibit was great! Also the Polar bear area. The dragons were very neat. I bought a "bubble sword" a lion headed light up wand that shot bubbles and had fun shooting bubbles throughout the day. Even zoo employees had fun talking to me about it. Several children also enjoyed it. The only negative was that the lions are protected by plexiglass and either due to the sun or angles, nearly impossible to photograph and Several people and children had a hard time seeing them.

Loved the zoo. Very well maintained trails and paths with all amenities well situated. Very kid friendly atmosphere with allmost all the places suitable for stroller and Kids. All animal viewings are designed to suit for kids viewing. Center of attraction was penguin and polar bear. They have many food optionsw with vegetarian options. Food wasnt great but good enough for zoo trip. couple of stores around zoo offering draft beer, ice cream and cold drinks. Recommend to go in morning or evening as during noon time get hot and sunny, also all animals move to shed and hard to see. Few of the buildings were under construction nd closed during peak summer season.

Took my family here. First time we've been. The staff are awesome! Super nice, helpful, and friendly! We walked all over the place. The reason I gave 3 stars is that the maps dont have all picnic areas marked. The only ones are at the front of the zoo. Also, about half the exhibits and animals were inside, or they were closed. It kinda sucks that there are things in the zoo that cost even more money. We did end up having a good time. Thus was a once un a lifetime trip. It wasn't worth the 3h 48min drive there. It was chaos to get there.

I visited this zoo from out of state and I was thoroughly impressed! This is a huge zoo with lots of walking. The enclosures are all large and well maintained and the bigger ones have multiple vantage points which is neat! The signage is great, the volunteers were helpful and the entire zoo was clean with gorgeous horticulture. I was glad to see that the volunteers were stopping kids from doing things such as banging on the glass. The only thing I didn’t like was the AI signage at the Dragon Forest. I wish real artists had been used to illustrate the descriptions of the mythical creatures. I wish I had skilled that part and enjoyed the rest of the zoo more. Overall, I had a great time and would highly recommend this zoo!

Today we were at Greenfield village for the Halloween evening dinner, train ride etc. So todays dinner was cancelled dur to a poweroutage. Some construction crews cut their power supply and it did not come back on until 4 pm. We were really excited to tey the dinner and was sad it was cancelled however we were told they were already working on refunds for the dinner portion of the ticket. We did the train ride and that was fun. The halloween decoration were a bit cheesy and they no longer give out candy. I guess they stopped doing this during covid. They really need to bring it back. They did have several food and drink trucks and sold alcohol; beer and wine. I did not see any liquor. The whole event was relatively expensive but thete were very few activities overall. However there was a large area that was more like a flea market where you could buy alll kinds of things. I kind of felt that i paid to goto a flea market and that the rest was just decorations. If you go, i would definitely go when dark - after 715 pm. Please bring back the trick or treating....

I've been coming here since I was a child. The whole village experience has been greatly enhanced with costumed guides, more rides (love the Model T rides), food choices and seasonal experiences. There are so many fun things to do in every season- something for everyone. So thrilled with Ford 's vision to preserve history so we can continue to learn from it and enjoy for decades to come.

This is definitely one of the best outdoor museums in the country. Lots of historic buildings, cars, trains and things to do. You can check out Thomas Edison's Menlo park, blacksmith demonstrations, other historic demonstrations, but by far the best thing to do is to ride the historic steam engine powered train and also the original model t cars. You really do feel like you are in the early 1900s and riding in a real historic 1914 Ford Model T is awesome. It's about a 10-minute ride and the driver explains the history and you really feel like you are in 1920. Everything is period correct including the cars, the buildings, the street lights, and even the yellow stop signs before they were required to be red. You can easily spend hours checking out all of the buildings, photographing the old cars and trains and still not see everything in one day.

I went during Hallowe’en nights and had the time of my life! There were story tellers, shops, costumes, pumpkins in TREES!! They offered a shuttle service before and after which was great for my grandpa. Paid the extra $5 each for a super cringey train ride ANDS I FREAKING LOVED IT! perfect amount of laughter for the price. It was gaudy, out of pocket, and the perfect way to end a spooky night. One negative thing is that there is A LOT of walking. We’ll rent a scooter for my grandpa next year.

Greenfield Village is like my Disney World. We are members so we support an amazing place and have a safe, fun, educational place to take our grandkids and friends. I would urge anyone to visit at least once and make sure you ride in a Model T, have frozen custard, ride the over 100 year old carousel and see where Henry Ford was born and Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb.

Greenfield Village is a nice step back in time thanks to Henry Ford and his vision to preserve history. The Hallowe’en and Holiday Nights events are wonderful. Great family friendly place to spend some time.

We visited on a Tuesday morning with minimal crowds. (mostly a few moms/strollers and a couple of small school groups) There was no waiting to ride the train, T-Model car or horse carriage rides. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and eager to share the history of the buildings and artifacts. The bathrooms were clean. Some of the food vendors were closed for the season as we visited in September. The highlight of our day was eating lunch in a candle lite inn with recipes from 1850. My husband had a whisky cocktail, bacon wrapped pork with new potatoes and peach pie. I had lemonade, tomato soup and blueberry pie. Both meals included pickles, breads, butter and blackberry jam all served in pottery. We loved the experience!

Whether you are a history buff, a technology enthusiast, or simply looking for a family-friendly outing, the Henry Ford Museum offers a compelling and inspiring glimpse into the American spirit of innovation. It’s an unforgettable experience that educates, entertains,

It's been a long time since I been there. Was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a lot to take in. Not so many hands on stuff for kids tho. If you have a hard standing or walking a long time there are benches everywhere. Everything is very detailed and descriptive. I would go back in the futer. If you are considering this for a family trip or if you are coming in from out of state I highly recommend coming here and checking out it. Also if you want something like a novilty they have machines that make wax molds of cars etc.

A must-visit when you’re in Michigan! 🙌 This place showcases the incredible evolution of American innovation — from transportation to everyday design. 🚗🚂✨ You’ll find everything from cars, buses, and heavy machinery to beautifully crafted household objects that make you stop and say wow. A true journey through modern ingenuity and creativity!

I could have spent five or six hours here. There is so much going on from presidential cars to race cars, the bus Rosa Parks was on to the chair Lincoln was shot in. This is truly a museum of innovation, not just about Ford. If we would have had time I would have spent the time to go to the Ford Rouge plant that assembles Ford F-150s. That takes about two hours. Nearby you have the race car hall of fame. Outside of having a ton of information its just a very elegant building. Its classy enough to be an art museum and some of these pieces are definitely that. Its a must stop in Detroit.

recently visited the Henry Ford Museum with my kids, and it was an absolutely awesome experience from start to finish. There’s so much to see, learn, and explore — every exhibit captures a piece of history in a way that keeps both kids and adults engaged. Watching my children light up with excitement as they discovered new things made the trip even more special. The museum is clean, well-organized, and filled with fascinating displays that truly bring innovation and American history to life. It’s the kind of place where time flies because you’re constantly amazed at what’s around the next corner. I’ll definitely be returning soon with my wife and our other children so they can share this experience too. The Henry Ford Museum is a must-visit for families who love learning, discovery, and unforgettable moments together.

We absolutely love this place! There is something for everyone. They have the museum located indoors that has many great exhibits. Lots of hands on activities for kids. There’s also special events that come to the museum. In addition to the museum there’s the outside village (does require additional ticket) that you can walk around. I highly recommend getting a ride pass so you can ride all of the rides (train, carousel, model T) without worrying to buy additional tickets! Custard is a must!!

Outside of the Smithsonian, I would say that this is the most important and comprehensive technology and transport museum in America. They simply have things that you won't see anywhere else, from the original Mustang prototype to the Rosa Parks bus to the last extant examples of numerous steam locomotives. The Dymaxion house is such a great "what could have been" story. I would definitely budget an entire day to see the museum and save Greenfield Village for the next day. You really need one day each to do both.

An interesting place to visit, and a must for any automotive enthusiasts who enjoy learning about the leaders of the yesterday and today. The museum truthfully could use some updating in their content displays, and information. In more than one case, those who have passed are still listed as alive (after many many years) and some of the lighting and painting are showing their ages. Overall, this is an interesting museum for adults; children may find it rather boring.

We love museums, this is not part of Henry Ford but it was still interesting. I love the people that work there, they are filled with personal stories are are passionate about the history. All the various people that have contributed or made an impact on the automotive industry. We even got a nice poster when we left.

Definitely worth checking out ! This museum is one of my favorites to visit. With an opportunity to learn the deep history of the automotive industry and the people who shaped it…it is a great place to spend an afternoon! Friendly staff, amazing facilities!

Truly amazing. Clean, well organized and highly informational. We even had a nice tour guide help get us started.

A really fun museum to learn about all automotive-related history of those people that shaped the industry. Angela was highly knowledgeable about the history and she was gracious with her time showing us a few of her favorite displays. This museum is not related to the Ford museums, even though it's in the complex, and at the time of our visit I love how less crowded it was.

We've seen this museum for years and finally decided to go in and we were pleasantly surprised. If you are into cars in any way than you will find interesting things to see. Our guide, Angela was wonderful! Loved her. She had a lot of stories and showed us the best way to go through the museum. Parts of the museum that may have been sort of dry, she gave a side story and made you want to dig deeper or look harder. I'm really glad we finally took the time to go here because it was great.

If your interested in the developer's and engineers who helped and build cars from the past and continue to do so, then it's great! Just take your time walking around and absorb all the info that's placed.

The sand in parts of the beach is all finely crushed shells, really cool! Beach was clean, very little trash and water was nice and warm great place to swim. Good place to go fishing, great place to sit and relax.

July 2025 - came here with the family over the 4th of July weekend. The place was packed. They have a shower and bathroom. The beach was nice and the water was warm. No issues and a good park to check out.

The park offers some good points, but the beach could use some improvement. The beach itself was just okay and not as clean as I would have liked. However, I did appreciate the shaded areas provided by the trees, which was a nice break from the sun. The park play area for kids was a great feature and a definite plus."

This state park is right on the edge of Lake Erie. They have a wonderful campground. It’s very tight but you’re right on the edge of Lake Erie so you have a beach right there in the campground it’s amazing. The playground for the children looks great. the bathhouse is wonderfuland then if you decide you’re not camping, you also have access to the beach of Lake Erie. they have a nice concession area lots and lots of picnic tables with grills and a huge parking lot. It really is a nice place.

This place is just horribly unhealthy. It is directly, practically on top of, a gross factory- emitting non stop, fumes. You can smell it and the air quality in the location is poor. Every view from the lake has factories. The water is full of dead fish and the trail is filled with sulfur smells. This is a sad situation for the city. This is 2025 and we know about clean energy..or at least non-deadly energy. Skip this place. Monroe..you can do better for your citizens.

Beautiful state park! Beach ⛱️ picnic tables . Grills. Walking trails. Ggreat fishing areas. Highly recommend 💚💯💯

Returned today from Sterling state campground, and we loved it. We did tent camping. There were lot of RVs and very few tent campers. I would like to list what we loved: 1. The ground were leveled and soil was soft to fix stakes in. Whole campground was lush green with grass and few weeds. 2. You would be welcomed with nicely arranged swamp roses which were there in my campground too. Yes there are areas with native plants and milkweeds. 3. Our camping area was near restrooms. Restrooms and shower were very clean. 4. Outside restrooms were placed vending machines. Also separate trash cans were there for paper, waste and cans & bottles. 5. Lake Erie view was pleasing. Lake made weather pleasant. 6. There were activities for small kids like nature walk where the female staff was telling kids to write what they would observe while on their way to Lake Erie and they should write it downl. Provided kids with unlimited foam stickers and crayons to write. Today they had different type of clouds activities for kids. 7. Lake Erie is so cool, water is cold and beach has no fishy smell. Yes few dead fishes were washed off but otherwise walking around beach and tree areas were refreshing. 8. For tent camping, there is more than ample space. 9. Campground has electric outlets. 10. Common playground was there in campground and kids slides and play area was also there if you walk through beach where there was hotdog food truck too. 11. Cottages are there. Negatives that are not campground fault: 1. Lot of mayflies or June flies were there which was sticking around us, tents and out canopy. 2. Trees are small and hence canopy is required 3. First day when we arrived, it was extremely windy that was making it very hard to set up the tent and rainfly over it. 4. View of some power plant is visible. 5. Not private campground. Overall we all loved it, kids would not be bored and so are the adults.

Great spot to check off my passport bucket list! We got our stamp thinking this was going to be just a visitor center with a field and it was much more! Staff was very knowledgeable, the new education center was full of interactive stuff for the kids to do. I can't wait to come back when it is completed! Very thoughtful to the time frame in which it all took place.

This is a great spot to walk around and read about the battlefield history. Start near the parking lot and it loops in the correct order to read the full story on the signs. There are two picnic areas, one covered and one not. There is not a lot of parking and the only restroom is an outhouse. Still an interesting place to stop especially if you like history. Highly recommend checking the River Raisin National Park visitor center first just so you have a better idea of what you are seeing, though the signs do a great job of telling the full story.

Very beautiful! Loved that they had the display for those that had been killed in action and that it was split into sections for each war. Very moving display.

Traffic bumped me off the freeway, and right into the parking lot of this amazing NPS Battlefield. This place is a hidden gem. Stop on in with your kids and learn a lot about American Indian culture and the War of 1812.

Beautiful and peaceful walk paved and unpaved sections over a mile total.. Hope you enjoy our pictures. Toby was jumping and leaping with excitement.

Great stop on my trip! As a history buff I loved all of the artifacts they had. Even if you do not know much about the war of 1812 and especially what happened here, there is an AMAZING movie that explains it all. Highly recommend

Very fun experience center with hands-on displays. Learn to load a cannon or fire an arrow or make wampum with legos. Well worth a stop especially if you have kids.

For it being in a mall its oretty decent size. They have an area you can feel starfish and other creatures which is pretty cool. Then you can go around seeing all the different sea life exhibits they have which includes a nursery. My favorite was finding the ginormous eel that likes to hide. I absolutely recommend going its great for everyone but especially children.

Sea Life was a great experience!! So many different variety of fish to see. Its great for kids, especially the different little places for the kids to climb in so they can see some 9f the fish up close. We hade the behind the scenes tour and it was so informative.. Definitely go if you can!

We enjoy walking our littles through the aquarium. The play structure and various activities are pretty engaging too. We had fun trying to find all of the eels the last time we visited.

This was my first time visiting SEA LIFE Aquarium, and it was such a nice experience. My nephew really enjoyed it, and I loved that they offered a touch pool where you could feel sea urchins, stingrays, and starfish. It's definitely a fun place for kids. I recommend adults buy tickets online the day before because it's cheaper instead of buying tickets the day of or buying in person.

We love this aquarium! We've been here about 4 times, most recently at the request of my 8 year old for her birthday. We love all of the creatures, but the sharks, turtles, stingrays, and of course NUGGET are our favorites! We really like the area where you can touch the starfish and anemone, and the jellyfish with the color changing light is another super fun thing for the kiddos. The gift shop also has lots of cool stuff. We love it here! 🐠🪸

Cool experience and the sea life appeared comfortable and interactive with visitors. A bit pricey however for how short the walk through is. Well maintained tanks and unique opportunity for those loving aquatic life.

Such a cute experience and well worth the money; even my 16-year-old daughter loved it. The young lady who took the photos was so patient , and all the other staff was super sweet as well, which I liked a lot. Their tanks are so clean, and the fish literally try and interact with you. I look forward to going back again.

While I was in the Detroit area, decided to visit this mall and was very pleasantly surprised. The mall has a large variety of different stores, many being discount outlets with good deals on their products. There was a large food court with a variety of restaurants and there are even some snack and food stores scattered throughout. Plenty of parking and very clean too. Seems to be a thriving mall and is great compared to others these days.

Wow!! This mall is very much thriving and packed full of great stores! This mall is what every mall in America should strive to be. The mall is very modern and architecturally fascinating inside, has a huge food court with a carousel, and the layout is very easy to follow along to see all the stores. We walked the entire mall and stopped into many stores, I dont think I saw any empty storefronts and if I did it wasn't many at all. Every mall store you expect to see is located here, and more! There were lots of stores I haven't heard of before and they were all very clean, bright, and modern. Nothing was run down here, way to go!! Highly recommend shopping here, especially since its full of outlet stores where deals can be had!

Great outlet mall, has the best stores very big and just out right amazing. Loved all the things to do for the family while still having amazing shopping options for everyone. Food choices were pretty good from what I can see but didn't eat there to give a true review. Will I go back, absolutely and live almost 4 hours away.

This place was fun to visit . A little bit of something for everyone. Haven't visited a packed mall in many years. I recommend Toys r Us and Sully's if you get a chance.

Great Lakes Crossing Outlets stores are not all bargains but you can definitely cash in on great deals. The food court was not good at least Popeye chicken was horrible and they didn't really speak English so they didn't honor their own coupon.

We were looking for a dance dress for my high school teen, there were plenty of stores to try, but Windsor has the best selection of all! The staff was helpful and personable. A large place to get your walking in! With a lot of food options! The best indoor place for entertaining kids.

Great place. A lot of shopping outlets, plenty of entertainment options also with the kids. Food court is big enough with lots of options and there are also some fine dine reataurants.

It was a really fun place! Me and my mom went here for a day trip last summer. It was one of the most fun days I've ever had. There is so much to do, cool prises, fortunate telling, arcade games, and much more! 10/10, would recommend

Eclectic, fascinating, pocket book friendly, and fun for EVERYONE! We spent 4 hours taking it all in. It's an antique enthusiast dream, so much to see! Great mix of retro/modern games and a snack bar! Even the prize station was good! We can't wait to come back!!

We traveled up from Nashville to visit Marvin's. Such a cool eclectic collection of vintage games, animatronics, signs, oddities, etc. I could spend hours there. Most games are either 25 or 50 cents to play. How cool is that? Very!! There are no words or photos that could share the coolness of Marvin's.

Great arcade with the twist of also being a museum. All the machines are coin operated with physical tickets, excellent for nostalgia. The luck struck us a few times with jackpots and bonuses, but also with malfunctioning machines. Employees were quick to fix the ones they could and make it right. Tons of machines, and a bit cramped. Glad I didn’t need any of my mobility aids or else it may have been tricky to move around. Wish the redemption center had a better exchange rate or a few more adult aimed items. We still had fun though and can’t wait to come back when it’s in the new location.

This place is awesome!! You can go in for free and look at all the vintage and newer games, exhibits and concession stand. All classic games are still only a quarter!! Pinball is $1 a game but this place is worth stopping by and I hope they don't tear it down. I'm so glad I went and you should too!!

Very unique to say the least. We didn’t realize it was a fully functioning arcade but very cool. We saw games from as early as 1930’s from all over the world. I wish there was some literature or QR codes giving more info.

A wonderful little place full of wholesome/vintage arcade games for all levels and ages, including classics like Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero! There are so many oddities and fun things to see. It definitely feels like a relic from time gone by, but I can see why the locals love it for sure. If I lived here, I would be there every weekend playing the drum game! I got zero tickets, but I didn't want to leave.

The Nature Preserve was absolutely fabulous! Definitely a place to take your kids! We met Hawkeye The Owl and we met Radar, we also met some turtles and a snake! Everything from the views to the butterflies was simply beautiful. Lots of little hands on spots for the kids, very very kid forward.

Seriously one of the prettiest parks I’ve been to in Michigan close to home! We found ourselves on this long wooded path along the river, on top of it being fall. It was amazing 😍

My grandkids had a great time. But I think they should have a seniors rate cuz paying full price to watch the kids is ridiculous.

This is in our top five Metroparks in the Metro Detroit area. Absolutely beautiful. Stunning views , always clean , bathrooms , turtle cove, many parks to visit. Just so much to do with family. Paved areas for bikes or rollerblades. We often see people fishing here & camping. 🏕️ this is definitely a gem & there’s an area where you can put your kayak in on the river. It’s all around a great place for the community to come.

Great spot for a hot day, big pool, water slides, kid play splash area, and a lazy river. $12 for a great day for all ages! You can also buy food and drinks at the concession stand. Lockers available for rent at an additional cost.

Great hiking from flat, paved areas to more primitive trails and much in between.

Great park for walking, hiking, biking and strolling.

Drove 3 hours to Pine Knob to see Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin here. For whatever reason, the tickets we bought from ticketmaster showed the show starting at 02:30pm. And the main reader board along the road also showed 02:30pm. So we showed up at 02:15pm only to find out the show didnt start until 07:00pm for the opener. 4.5 HOURS LATER. And they do not allow you to leave and go back to your vehicle once you enter. There were thousands of us sitting around anywhere we could just to pass the time. We heard many people complaining while we sat around because their tickets were exactly the same. The show itself? Phenomenal. One of the best I've seen. Our view was great, the sound was great, and the seat was decently padded when we were sitting. The food overall is expensive, about $15 for a beer, $15 for chicken tenders and fries, and $10 for a Little Caesars slice.

I’ve been here twice and it’s def my favourite concert venue I’ve been to. Parking is included and fairly efficient getting in/out. Lots of amenities and areas to hang out. Prices are outrageous for drinks and food but you can bring a sealed/clear water bottle that you can refill if you want to save money there (would be nice if they had an actual water refill station rather than just a water fountain). Bathrooms have always been pretty clean. I’ve only sat under the pavilion but I found the sound and view to be great for the price.

Recently went and saw Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin here, we had great seats in the band shell! But all around this venue is absolutely beautiful!!! It was the first time I had ever been there, and I just loved evey5hing about it. There's beverage and food options everywhere, I love that they have people walking around selling cold beverages, and to be honest the prices weren't THAT bad. I loved the venue and the show! I cant wait to see another show here soon!

Great venue. Lots of vendors for food and drink. And not super expensive. 😉 Sound was clear and not excessively loud. Lawn area was comfortable with great stage visibility. Pay attention to entry rules before going and smooth sailing. Bring that one bottle of water per person. It's 6 bucks there.

Wonderful spot hidden in thre middle of know where! Easy access getting into venue. Parking was free and easy. Bathrooms were clean and no line!!!!! Hill seating/standing was perfect spot. Could use more screens to help with better viewing of concerts in grass area....only had 3 screens and really not large enough.

The best venue to watch a concert! Parking lot is great for tailgating. Not a bad seat in the place. But my favorite is how fast they move the traffic out ! 3 lanes of continuous movement means you are out of the place honestly within 10 minutes!

First time I have been here to see a concert and I read reviews about how to park at the end of a row to get out quickly, get there somewhat early as well and I was glad I listened to that. The seats we had were at the very top for pantera but were great seats and we had a great view. Huge drawback were the prices for food and alcoholic drinks. They wanted $22 dollars for a frozen drink, $6 for a basic bottle of water, $7 for a small bag of popcorn that is not even popped fresh. Plan to eat before you get into the venue unless you don't mind spending a fortune on food and drinks. Also if you want concert tee shirts look for the guys walking the parking lot and selling shirts for $20 instead of $40 at the tee shirt stand. All in all good experience.

Beautiful, well-maintained campground. We spent two nights camping in the smaller loop campground. Dog-friendly, quiet and the roads were in very good condition. The bathroom/shower area is very old/outdated and the "hot" water for showers (taken in the later evening) was not to be found. The camp store is a nice plus. The hiking trails were excellent. We wish there was a spot at the lake where our dog was able to swim (if there was, we did not find it). Overall, very enjoyable.

I have been coming here for the past 30 years... since I was a kid. my brother and me grew up riding our bikes around and running through the trails. Now I take my family here and it is just so peaceful. I do wish they would check the bathrooms since other people don't clean up their own messes...but still one of the nicest kept.

Great place to camp w little traffic. There are camp sites right on the lake that allowed campers to tie up a fishing boat easily near. There is a camp store that probably has evey you forgot to bring. Including hand scooped ice cream. The beach is on the opposite side from camping so we had to drive around but it could be an easy bike ride if you'd like.

36 years going here. Last weekend was my last. DNR is more worried about a handicap man fishing, not bothering anyone. Then the drugs, yelling, music so loud i can't sleep. Fishing is part of camping. Cars parked in road couldn't get camper down the road. The lake has just turned into a nightmare with weeds. Can't even float on the water as weeds stop you. The bathroom is not cleaned. There is no place for a handicap person to sit in a shower. Filling up a camper 1.9 gpm is the worst. The water system was not updated as that has been pressure for years. The fill station is so small i couldn't get out without hitting the curb. Poor design. How do you put brand new black top and not level it on an ada site? The list goes on. Our tax dollars wasted, and employees are running people away.

it was a very nice camping trip.. little crowded but was very nice.took a hiking trip, went to the beach,, didn't swim, water don't get tested so I wasn't feeling safe going in.. other than that it was very nice

We spent a weekend, Thursday through Sunday, camping at Metamora-Hadley Recreation Area with our family and had a very enjoyable experience. We used a 30 amp site with a two vehicle limit, which suited our needs well. The campsites are family-friendly and accommodate biking activities for children. The beach was pleasant, with a sandy surface over a firm bottom, and featured a mobi mat near the center for enhanced accessibility. Fishing was excellent. Park staff and DNR personnel were present throughout the weekend but did not intrude on our experience.

Lovely park. Perfect for a bike ride around the grounds. I saw lots of people fishing. Hot showers. They need a dish washing station. Camp hosts are lovely.

Gorgeous downtown park and gathering place. Lots of places to explore in the surrounding area. Friday night music in the park. Ice Fest. Fall Great. Art Fair. And so much more! Come visit our cute little town!

1/27/24 I had a Wonderful time there with my Loved ones during the Ice Festival. The temperatures were too high for the Ice but we still enjoyed ourselves. Rick Zorn

Fun park with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Fountain is beautiful. Free concerts every Friday in the warmer months. Only thing is there is no playscapes because they do some many fun events so often in the park. Always clean, too

Downtown Plymouth Mi has 120 shopped and 30 really great restaurants

Great place for wedding photos, prom photos, wishing well, baggo's, restaurants and bars and more across the street. Grat downtown area. Some nights they have live bands.

I absolutely love Kellogg Park! Such a beautiful park and I love seeing friends & families enjoying it together. I love Music in the Park too. It’s wonderful seeing people of all ages enjoying the concerts on Friday nights 💖

Really nice local center village park with gorgeous renovated fountain. There are often seasonal installations at this park and currently there is a Halloween exhibit so go and check that out.

Very peaceful! The bathroom and shower area is clean. You will see staff throughout that goes over and beyond keep the area clean. Splash pad was really nice our family loves it. Food court reasonably priced and food tastes good too. Few trails for to walk/bike off the food. They even have bike rentals. We set in the parking lot and had a picnic so we had lots of fun.

Beautiful park with so much to do. We love the little farm and all the different playgrounds. Can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can check out the beach and splash pad. Great place to take family pictures too.

Nice park, but I am very annoyed with how fast people drive through here. They tailgate you in 25mph zones and zoom around like they own the place. Unfortunately, this place has a shortage of police officers. I know this problem can be fixed if they were able to hire more bodies.

Excellent metropark! I grew up in Milford so I know this one well. Tons of amazing walking/biking lanes and trails, lots of good fishing areas, and there's no lack of excellent picnic spots. The nature center is great. Make sure to say hi to Ranger the falcon while there! He's just the best. The farm area is awesome as well. Seeing all the animals is a blast. Sometimes they'll be out to pasture though so be prepared to have some unavailable for viewing haha. Autumn is a glorious time to visit. The colors that you'll see throughout the park are insane. Nice to just kayak out and fish, lay back and enjoy the scenery. Have fun!

Kensington Metropark is a fantastic place to spend the day with friends and family! The beach is clean and enjoyable, perfect for cooling off on a sunny day. Kids will absolutely love the splash pad—it’s fun, safe, and very well-kept. Just note that there’s a small entry fee for both kids and adults at the splash area. Boating is another highlight here. Whether you’re into kayaking, paddle boating, or just enjoying the views from the water, it’s a relaxing experience. The park charges a $10 entrance fee per vehicle, which is very reasonable considering the facilities and scenery. The restrooms are well maintained and clean, which is always a big plus. Overall, it’s a great spot for picnics, outdoor activities, and simply spending quality time outdoors. Highly recommend for a day trip or weekend outing!

This Metro Park is one of the most soothing parks in Michigan. The walking and bike trail go on for miles! The lake is calm and inviting. During the day most of the people are polite and getting much needed exercise. I recommend this State Park.

Really pretty place that's well maintained with excellent staff. Plenty of parking and lots of places to set up for all dayblong fun tent covers, grills and tables. The bike paths are paved and really well taken care of. Easy to follow the bike paths lead all around the entire park allowing a fun day of exploring with ease.

We absolutely enjoyed out time here. With small children, inorder to get to the orchard, no stroller. Highly suggest bringing a comfortable carrier/sling. Awesome place to take pictures. Everyone was kind, professional, they did a great job in following COV 19 guidelines. It is is spacious, no need to worry about crowding. The donuts are served warm and the cider is good.

This place is a good meeting place for us from Canton and the rest of the family in Troy. We really enjoyed their donuts, more so than Blakes and Franklin. Kettle corn was really awesome. We actually didn't end up taking the hay ride for pumpkins or actually picking any apples because it was chilly and raining. But if it were a nice fall day, this place would be better than 5 stars.

Had a great time in the orchards picked 5 different types of apples had some really good donuts and cider, candy apples and I bought some syrup, and preserves and gourds. Will definitely be returning they also have huge pumpkin patches and some of the biggest and cutest smallest pumpkins. Also went through the corn maze.

I am unbelievably sad to hear this place is closing. I've been to many apple orchards but this was my first and favorite. My memories of coming here are the first thing that comes to mind when I think of fall and this is one of the places I missed the most when my family moved away from Michigan. My birthday is right before Halloween so we would often come here on my birthday to pick pumpkins. I still have my pumpkin pin that I got when I was a kid. Hearing this news makes me even more grateful that I got to come visit the past few years. It will be dearly missed.

This is the only orchard I like! Come earlier in the season for the largest quantity of apples to choose from. Check the website for when certain apples become available. This year, all of the apple varieties had some sort of disease, so it was a bad year for them, but it's still a very fun experience. They also have raspberry and blueberry bushes you can pick from so that's always fun. I love their cider and their donuts are ridiculously good! This years bad fruit didn't make me not wanna come back, it's just a had crop year, no big deal. Will be back next year!

Great place for weekend family activities. Best donuts and apple/raspberry cider I have ever tasted. The little zoo is a plus, everything is so cute at this friendly farm.

Although the line looks long on a weekend, the line to buy cider and donuts go by pretty quickly. Note, cash only. The spiced cinnamon sugar donuts are slightly chewy and tasty to the last bite. I personally prefer the hot cider, especially if the day is cold. In addition to having cider for sale, there's also a petting zoo, corn maze, and u-pick apple on the site. So there's a little bit of something for everyone.

This theatre is absolutely disgusting. My feet are literally STUCK to rhe floor of theatre 14. I am RIPPING them off the floor everytime I move and it makes so much noise. They're incredibly gross and sticky. I will never come back here. Well continue going to Emagine in Birch run.

I love this movie theater! It's great for going with friends or family, or just hanging out. One of the things I like most is that it has reclining seats that you can lie down in, making it perfect for a relaxed and comfortable movie experience. The screen and sound quality are also excellent, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the film. Plus, the atmosphere is cozy and modern, making it an ideal spot for a night out with loved ones. Definitely one of my favorite movie theaters!

Clean theater, friendly staff. We really enjoyed our movie 🍿🎥 and snacks. Pricing for two at a 5pm movie with a snack package totalled about $50, so not exactly cheap but a lot of fun.

Caught a Monday matinee showing of the new Superman movie in IMAX at NCG Cinema in Grand Blanc, and overall it was a great experience. The theater was very clean and pleasantly quiet—definitely a perk of seeing an early-week movie. The popcorn was fresh (no stale kernels here), and the ICEE machines were working perfectly, which isn’t always a given these days. The staff seemed on top of their game, and everything felt well-maintained. That said, the cost is getting steep. One ticket, a small popcorn, and a large ICEE ran me about $30. It’s a bit of a hit to the wallet for a solo movie trip, even for a matinee. The film itself was solid—great visuals and action—and the IMAX screen really did it justice. Between the spotless theater and the quality snacks, I left feeling like it was worth the outing, but definitely something I’ll treat as an occasional splurge.

overall, a nice place. employees are nice, not so much when it comes to other customers. popcorn is always good and i like that they have butter machines that you can add more if you would like.

It's a nice theater. But they need more staff at the ticket counter. The staff was friendly. Could be kept cleaner around the beverage table, but it wasn't anything horrible. Seating isn't the most comfortable, but there is plenty of it. And it's nice that the arm of the chair can be put up.

The best movie theater in the area. We saw an IMAX movie here, and they did a great job making the entrance more grand than ever before. By this, I mean that they significantly improved the look of the entrance to the IMAX theater. The staff is always friendly, the theaters are nice, and the restrooms are always clean.

I'm an alum. The education I received here 10 years ago as an engineer was less than stellar, but this institution has gone even more downhill since then. It's not a university anymore. It's a business. Capitulating to the Trump administration and getting rid of all its DEI initiatives is the final straw. They'll never get a penny from me again. They've completely forgotten that they're supposed to be champions of learning, and a beacon of free speech.

Overhyped school. Sometimes teaching is good, other times it's not. Overwhelming size of the school also makes it really difficult to get to know others and you will likely never get to know any of your professors. Although there are a lot of nice people here too, there are also a good number of people who are rude who will try to act as though they are better than you. Fans can be annoying at times as well. This school isn't exactly a beacon of progress either as they have recently rolled back all their DEI initiatives. Lack of windows in so many of the classrooms will also certainly leave you feeling "blue" (maybe that's what's really meant by "go blue").

The University of Michigan boasts one of the most stunning campuses in the world, offering not only breathtaking surroundings but also a vibrant, supportive community. I couldn't have asked for a better place to call home—both academically and personally. The student vibes and sense of camaraderie made the experience truly unforgettable.

Just finished my PhD here. The greatest public university on the planet earth...)

Trying to get an appointment with your doctor is now even a longer process. When I call I need to be evaluated by a nurse before I can make an appointment. You are placed on hold for 3-6 minutes. I usually go to urgent care when sick because it is much easier than trying to get an appt at u of m. I need to look elsewhere for medical care. It’s really a shame because I really like my doctor, but impossible to get in. If I send medical email question, you are charged. Completely out of control. It’s not a pleasant experience.

Great university campus, happy students, friendly and ethnically-diverse atmosphere every time I've visited. Weighted against about ten comparable universities I've spent time around, this is in the top 3. Ann Arbor is a really nice place. :)

The best of college football. Had the priveledge of being almond vendor there with an old friend a few yrs back.

My buddy and I headed to the Big House on August 30, 2025, for Michigan’s season opener against New Mexico, and it was a blast! The stadium was electric with over 110,000 fans rocking maize and blue, roaring from kickoff to the final whistle. We soaked in the buzz of the night game, watching freshman QB Bryce Underwood sling his first touchdown and Justice Haynes tear it up with three scores. The Wolverines dominated, 34-17, but New Mexico’s trick plays kept us on our toes. Tailgating at the golf course beforehand, swapping stories, and cheering with the crowd made it an unforgettable day at the largest stadium in the country!

Visited "The Big House" for the Zach Bryan concert while it was at max. capacity!! I was surprised there were no long lines for food & drinks because concession wraps around the entire stadium. Also, that goes for the bathroom facilities. It should make you feel safe there was plenty of S.W.A.T & Police everywhere from the stadium to all the intersections.

Michigan's Football Michigan Stadium aka the Big House is an impressive stadium for the 110,000 fans that can fit into the stadium. The Food/Beverage areas, Bathrooms, and other amenities are in the outside walkways that offer all the amenities for the massive crowd. Out the top three biggest stadiums in the Big 10, it's the quietest home crowd, but it's great for watching the game action!

I mean, it's the Big House. Who doesn't love watching their favorite college team with 110k+ of your best friends. The atmosphere is amazing, the people are kind, they sell high noon (and let libations). The food choices are plentiful but it is a LARGE stadium. So be prepared to walk. Cashless venue, as are almost all of them these days. Buy a ticket, get there early, talk to people, and have a great time!

Hands down the biggest facility I have ever been to. Parking was pretty simple and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Seating was pretty easy to navigate as well as concessions. Was there for the largest ticketed music event in history ( Zac Brian with John Mayer). It was amazing.

AMAZING!!! I love the Big House. been here for a ohio state vs Michigan game. Michigan won by the way. feel like home even though I was born in ohio. Go Blue baby !!!

The absolute best! The big house never fails! They sell alcohol now, so it isn't just yummy foods, but now many drink. All in good fun - Go Blue! ❤️ A true alumni. Advice, bring a stadium pillow for your booty! 😊

Haven't been here since I was a child myself! Came here for an elementary school field trip and had a great time even as an adult. So much to look at and the kids had a blast. Very well organized with multiple schools and classes there. Friendly staff that did a great job- especially during the lab portion!

I’ve visited the Hands-On Museum in Ann Arbor a couple of times, and each visit has been a fantastic experience! It’s the perfect spot to bring your kids for a fun-filled day of learning through play. The exhibits are interactive, educational, and designed to spark curiosity in science and technology. The environment is welcoming, clean, and family-friendly, with something new to explore around every corner. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, the Hands-On Museum offers an engaging way for children (and adults!) to learn through hands-on discovery. Highly recommend for a weekend outing or school break adventure!

We love this place. Our grandchildren have a year long pass. Definitely come here with your children or grandchildren.

Visted here with the family during the week. Lots of learning experiences with interactive excercises. Kids loved running around trying everything out. Clean and organized for a place that children have their hands on everything. Little shop at the entrance. Vending machines with small sitting area availiable. Staff were super friendly. Will return.

It was the perfect Saturday afternoon for this! The weather was perfect and it was not too busy. My son has an upcoming field trip which apparently im required to accompany him on the bus..however i wanted too feel this out first. The concept is amazing and there really are a ton of interactive mechanical exhibits. Its interesting, very much so. I would not come here more than twice in 1 year though. Tons of kids, running loose. Parents of course but most not paying close attention as they are distracted or tending to other screaming crying children. Its ok here n there if thats your thing but kids running not watching where they are going. Its warm. Theres a small vending area with tables and chairs sitting area. There was a birthday party that was being hosted personally by staff. I suggest they have staff for each "area" to guide children who are so overwhelmed with everything crammed so closely together. It's cute in the firehouse here in Ann Arbor not too much parking..the museum itself... really cramped.. kids are just piling on top of each other, fighting for areas and stations. Pushing shoving no order most no manners 🙄It's like there's only really a few really exciting things to do.Everything seems rather boring unless you're gonna sit there and read it or have it read to you by a tourist guy that's the best way I can explain it. But we had lots of fun as we always do. Hey if you got the $35 and dont mind the drive and have the quality time...meaning put the phones away.. everyone. Quality time counts! Throwing a phone at a child to passify them is lazy. Ayy im not perfect just honest and would like everyone know exactly what to expect. I bought tickets in advance online. Have a wonderful experience. Oh yeah, for children with Autism, they do have light and sound sensory kits available. Its a unique place to each its own.

Took my niece to this children’s museum last weekend and it actually turned out pretty fun. The place has a bunch of hands-on activities that kept her busy for a good couple hours. Some of the exhibits looked a bit older, but everything was clean and the staff were friendly enough. I liked that they had spaces for different age groups, so the little kids weren’t getting run over by the older ones. Parking was easy too, which is always a plus. Overall, it’s not the biggest museum around, but it’s a nice spot to spend a relaxed afternoon with kids.

My dad bought us a family membership here! I LOVE that it includes grandparents! None of our other memberships do! I have a 4yo and 2yo and was worried my 2yo wouldn't have enough to keep him occupied, but there was so much for all ages! They have areas where you can eat, so next time ill pack lunches so we can stay all day!

It's wonderful. The glass blowing demonstration is educational and fun! Many great items and not many people, which makes a great place to enjoy arts.

I was there today and had a very good time. The staff were pleasant. The artwork was magnificent. The food was good. I expect to go back many times, because there is more for me to see.

This museum is located on the quiet and beautiful street of museum campus. Very approachable museum with great art collections. Love the nice staff there.

This is a surprising gem to find in the city of Flint. The FIA is truly an amazing oasis filled with stellar exhibits. The entrance fee is quite reasonable. If this museum were bigger its only local rival would be the Detroit Institute of Art. The one thing this place has that Detroit does not is an adjacent section dedicated to blowing glass. I think its worth the drive from the Detroit area to visit and I believe this is the areas newest modern museum.

A gem of an art museum! For a small town, this is an incredible art museum. The variety of exhibits the day we visited, the incredible quality of various sculptures dispersed throughout the building, and even a life glass making demonstration made for a very memorable visit. The standard that this art museum presented was a very pleasant surprise! Definitely worth your visit if you’re around the area and looking for an enriching experience!

We went to see the “Enchanted: A History of Fantasy Illustration” exhibit, which was great and fun for the whole family. We didn’t know that they had an ongoing glass blowing presentation by the UM-Flint students, so we were all delighted to sit through their expressive performance. Had a wonderful afternoon. Will come back again.

Such a nice museum, loved the exhibits which are very inspiring and intricately put together. Visited on a weekend and the entry was free. Moreover they have art school and different programs for engagement of the visitors. The gift shop had very cute things to shop for. The highlight would be their glass exhibit with exceptional masterpieces!

Went to Sweet Peaces for some vegan eats. Had the lentil soup and the vegan snickers! They were both amazing! The woman who helped us - great customer service! The rest of the Market was busy, and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Many of the kiosk-keepers made eye contact and greeted us as we passed by. A very welcoming experience for us 'out-of-towners'.

I didn't know this was called the Farmers Market, we were on the part called "The Bricks". It is so nice to see downtown revitalized and thriving. We had fun!

Love this new farmer's market, something new every week, and definitely something for everyone. It is a great step up for Flint. Can't wait for our next visit.

First time and i loved all the different things u can find! Plants, food, desserts, bakery, fresh smoothies, etc. I got fresh popcorn and gluten free cookies! And some sourdough. Will def be back love the vibes in there. Theres a big parking lot outside and there’s also sellers.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here. Venue and staff are amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for an event space with endless possibilities for implementing your own style in your event. The park across the street, as well as the street itself, make perfect places for event photography. Thanks to Janelle, Helen and Karen for making our wedding process magical

A wonderful place with a great selection. I went for veggies. Got just what I wanted. And also got some very tasty strawberry cheesecake. They were busy but shopping and checkout was fast.

This farmers market was a definite highlight of our visit to Flint. There was a large variety of vendors and food, and produce that I have never seen before. The sandwich made of Arepas was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back there if I’m in the area. The only downside of it is that it is open so few days a week!

We had a great time apple picking at Spicer’s! Lots of fun activities for the kids, good cider and the best donuts ever! The orchard trees are all short which allowed even our 4 year old to enjoy picking.

I had such a fantastic experience at this apple orchard! From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. Everyone was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed for a great visit. The prices are very reasonable — much better than other orchards I've been to. Whether you're picking your own apples or buying them from their market, you definitely get great value for your money. They do a wristband system for pick your own, one person free and then $5 per person after. When you finish picking they weigh your berries and it’s $3.95 per pound. The absolute highlight of our visit were the fresh, hot donuts and cold Apple cider! They had options to please everyone’s sweet tooth whether you want a classic cinnamon sugar, powered sugar or just plain. They even had glazed strawberry donuts during strawberry season. Great prices and helpful staff, we purchased a half gallon of cider for for $8.95 and a dozen donuts for $12.95. What really stood out was how knowledgeable and helpful the staff were. They gave us great tips on the best apple varieties for baking versus snacking, we were even given an apple to try when we couldn’t make up our minds on what to get. You can tell they love what they do and want to make sure every guest leaves happy. Highly recommend this orchard for families, couples, or anyone looking for a fun and affordable day outdoors. We’ll definitely be coming back in the fall!

They have 4 different tastes 🍩. Actually you can get half dozen bags or you can ask custom orders like me. I loved cinnamon one the best. And also plain one was very crispy I loved it!!!

DISAPPOINTING AND RUDE STAFF Prices are kind of high on a bunch of stuff, especially their fresh baked apples. They want $18.95 for a small bag. Not a 5 lb bag or anything like that. Like a 2 lb bag of apples so that's a first turn off Very overpriced on everything We get to the donuts and the donuts smell really good. They look really good. They're fairly priced-ish. I will say just for a very small strawberry donut you know $6 for a half dozen 1295 for a dozen. Something like that. The donuts do not have any flavor at all. They are just like eating paper I got a six pack of strawberry donuts and a six pack of defrosted strawberry donuts. The frosted ones are pretty good but all you can taste is the frosting. There is no strawberry flavor at all The regular unfrosted strawberry donuts have literally no flavor at all. There's no strawberry. There's no donut flavor. They're not sweet. They're just paper dough . Not one person said anything to us walking into the store or by the donut area. We got to the ice cream area. Once again nobody we went to the fudge area once again. Nobody around one employee came walking by didn't even acknowledge us We got to the barbecue sausage and stuff like that and I had to ask a lady at the front. Does the barbecue sauces have mustard because I am highly allergic to mustard on their ingredients list. All they have is some of the ingredients and then a category of spices, which in most cases means they use mustard But when you ask somebody they have no clue. So she basically told me in her opinion she would not buy any because it could have mustard in it because they don't specifically say it does or not So when you're told by an employee not to buy something then you just don't so I avoided that We asked that same employee did it cost anything to go pick strawberries She said no. You paid $2 for a cardboard box you go out you pick the strawberries and you come back and they weigh the strawberries and you pay them then We go out. I use a cane and a walker to get around and I tell you what if you are disabled or have a hard time walking or getting around in rough terrain. Avoid this it's hard for disabled people to do We get up to the front to pay and we are charged $5 for the wristbands that we were not told about. We were told they were free $2 for the box and $4 a pound for the strawberries which we were told about the $2 box and the $4 a pound for strawberries but not told about the $5 for the wristbands we were told they were free We go over to the winery and I will tell you this. I will never walk back into that winery again. Customer service was non- existent we were not greeted. We were completely ignored There were two gentlemen at the bar who apparently had been drinking for a while. There were two ladies at the other end of the bar who had like 10 bottles of wine and the one customer service lady there stuck with them the whole time. She did not check on anybody else. She didn't say anything to us until about 10 minutes of us sitting there in silence The older lady was extremely rude and snippy and stuck up. You can tell she did not want us there. She didn't care about us. She walked over in front of us three or four different times. Never even lifted her eyes to look at us We were going to get a couple samples of wine because we had never been there. So I asked for a sample of the honey white and she had to go get little plastic cups. She didn't say anything about hold on We asked for a sample of wine and the older lady was very rude about saying you can only have two She was very snotty and rude about it when she came back over after we had our two sips of wine and didn't even ask us if we wanted anything else. Just stared at us awkwardly I said we're good. I said my wife was going to ask about the mojito apple cider But doesn't want to spend that kind of money if it isn't any good. And she just looked at us and said it's just minty and then walked away from us We walked out and will never walk into the winery part again

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spicer Orchards Farm Market, Cider Mill, Fudge & Bakery is hands-down one of the most vibrant and delightful places to spend a day in Michigan. Whether you're there to pick your own seasonal fruit—blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, peaches, and of course apples—straight off the vine or tree, or just to soak up the sights, it delivers an experience that feels both refreshing and wholesome. 🧺 The pick-your-own experience is top-notch. With a fun wagon ride to the fields, it’s easy to access the freshest fruits imaginable—nothing beats the flavor of something that’s just been picked. They even offer lavender cutting, adding a fragrant, colorful touch to the adventure. 🍩 After picking, the farm store is an absolute must-visit. Fresh doughnuts made all day, creamy fudge, ice cream, homemade jams and fruit salsas, cider slushies, honey sticks—you’ll want one of everything. And for those 21+, the winery offers a rich selection of wines and cider beers. If you're unsure what to try, a flight and a few appetizers is the perfect intro. 🎡 In the fall, Spicer Orchards transforms into a festive playground of joy. Food vendors dish up favorites like BBQ, corn dogs, elephant ears, street corn, popcorn, and fresh lemonade. Kids (and grownups alike!) can explore the playground, get lost in the corn maze, or hop on amusement rides. This is a true one-stop destination for family fun, seasonal delights, and homemade treats. Whether you stay for an hour or the whole day, you’ll leave smiling—and probably with a bag full of goodies. Don’t miss it!

We visited Spicer Orchards for the first time yesterday. My husband and I took our two young kids and met my mom here since it was so nice outside. Some people on here complain about the $5 wristbands, but I personally think it's not a bad price for what you get if you take advantage of what they offer. My son had a wonderful time playing on the playground for a long time and especially loved the sand/dirt area. The animals were very cute and friendly, and my son lovingly referred to the cow as "big fella", haha. Everywhere we went seemed to be well maintained and clean. The gentleman doing the tractor rides was so nice and offered to take our pictures after the hay ride and chat with us. The store was a little narrow for strollers, but we were able to manage fine since it wasn't packed (but still had a lot of people for a weekday, in my opinion). It was all very organized and they really make sure to take advantage of the space that they have. We got to try samples of fudge, and the watermelon and maple bacon flavors I felt were very unique and delicious. They have fresh donuts in bags on the back counter, and we could tell that the pumpkin cinnamon were very popular. We had no problem waiting a few minutes for those, and they were very tasty and fresh, along with the cider. Now, we picked up a blueberry pie to take home, and this is what prompted me to write this long winded review. The pies were still warm when we picked them off the table, so they were fresh. I don't normally like fruit pies, but I've now come to realize that is because I never had good fruit pies. This is hands down the best one I've had, and my mom who got an apple pie said the same thing. Wow! My dad was bummed he couldn't come with us this time, but we will for sure be back when the food trucks are here, to do more wagon rides and u pick, and to pick out pumpkins. Spicers is definitely a new favorite cider mill for us. 🙂

Went there today. It was fun for the kids. BEAUTIFUL PLACE. They really did a great job with all the activities, and you never had to wait too long for a tractor ride to pick you up. However, I know that this is the big season for the local farmers and orchards right now. I get that the prices are high for the season. This is when they make most of their money for the year. I love supporting family-owned businesses like this. What I didn't like was the price the food vendors were charging. A walking taco was $14, and a 16-oz drink was $4.00. Make sure to eat before you go. It's crazy getting three drinks and two walking tacos, and it came out to $44. Bubble Tea for one drink was $9, and the funnel cake was $10.00. Get a big purse and bring your own food. I won't be price gouged like that again.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but the pizza and wine were so delicious that I had to write one. Both were amazing, but the pizza was truly a masterpiece. It was an honor to enjoy such fresh and high-quality food. This is definitely a place I want to visit again and again. Also, the staff were all incredibly kind, which made the experience even better. Thank you for making my time there so enjoyable and memorable!

Stopped in here on a whim with my husband and were pleasantly surprised. The pizza smelled amazing and looked great but we had eating previously. We decided to do wine flights. 4 flights for $24 is a steal and they are generous size. So basically 4 wine glass pours for $24. My husband did reds and I did sweet wines. Loved their sangria. Would be a great place to go with a group of friends or a girl night out. Only down side was they close at 7 on a Saturday. But you could always start their and bar hop. We will be back.

The pizza was big big big and the wine was perfect! Great waitresses! Wonderful atmosphere.

This is an absolute GEM for wine and pizza. My top favorite for pizza BY far and their wine is delicious. They also have rotating seasonal flavors for different times of year. My go-to’s are Calypso, Charmed, and Drago! The wine-a-rita pizza is my fave and their house salad with their homemade dressing is soooo good 🤤🤤🤤 Family owned and everyone is so friendly! Located in the heart of downtown Howell. Definitely worth a trip!!

I can’t rave enough about this place the only complaint that I have about this place that they’re not open MORE. This place is such a vibe, such a fun place to just go buy a bottle of wine with your boyfriend and play games at the bar, eat a pizza! best pizza that I’ve had maybe in 10 years so savory fresh ingredients the wine is top tier here. I just love it here. Any chance that I get which is not very often because of their hours I go here This winery has really figured it out!!! Come here and make sure you leave with a bottle. No headache in the morning!!!

Cute place. I don’t like that you can’t get a flight and have to stand at the bar to order your drink. But it’s a fun place to check out if you’re in the area. I didn’t get to try their pizzas but I heard they’re amazing, and like an Italian style.

It's a Wonderful environment, staff is warm and welcoming. The pizza is so fabulous and the wine delicious. The Winery is one of our favorite places 💖

The Purple Rose Theater is a delight to our senses and our brain. It is a Jewel and transformative to our community and city. The building is genius Design that embraced a rugged old building and a modern functional expansion new-build. It is a pleasure for every person who spends time in it. Working as Performers or Supportive Staff or Visitors enjoying and experiencing a theatrical Play or Event. Magnificent! Our senses delight with every seat a comfortable view direct and unobstructed, an intimate view of the entire stage and audience seating. All, and all at once. Magnificent! When you take your seat look around, soak it in, and enjoy it. It is a delightful pleasure, the best for fully experiencing and enjoying Theater Performances. My wife and I did on our first visit for Bert & Trixie Visit the Vet. Last night, our second visit, we enjoyed Norma and Wanda. Surprising. Fun. High Energy! We were captivated and thoroughly entertained. We left happy and grateful we have such great theater access near our new home in Chelsea. We LOVE it.

Just a gem 💎 of a place. Today (9/29/24) was our third visit. So what makes it a 💎? Well, it's a doable day trip if your in the tricounty area I-94 Exit #159 5 minutes north. Abundant parking abounds. (free) Thought that only existed in Monopoly. Today's play, which opened on 9/26/24 Was a Jeff Daniels screenplay he wrote from a " up north". Newspaper headline he had read on MLive.Com. He wrote and directed it, his son Luke was the A. D. Both Daniels men, were in the house, plus did a 1/2 hour talk back. Since this was premiere week, they wanted honest open feedback. Office Christmas Party, Grinch in fight with Rudolph, police called was a hoot. Casting was excellent. ( 4 actors) Great lighting Superb blocking Nice cadence, tempo, diction. Some surprises as well. 90 minutes No intermission. Arrive 10-15 minutes early as no access once the curtain rises. Matter of fact come 2 hours early. Eat at the Common Grill, walk the downtown, visit the library. Tickets were a bargain at $43 a seat with a slight $2 fee. Props to Adam Graham and the Detroit News for promoting this play and the Purple Rose. As the back story is/was Mr. J. Daniels considered pulling the plug as rebounding post covid was not easy. Props to the gal's at the Box Office Plus several volunteer ushers. Place is clean and inviting. This venue is, cozy, quaint and just the perfect balance.

Small intimate venue, comfortable seats, and good etiquette. The play I saw was Bert & Trixie Visit The Vet. It was so funny! My friends and I were in tears with laughter and the actors were fantastic

This is a great theatre in terms of size, layout and productions. I believe it seats 168 people, The seats surround the stage on three sides. This gives everyone an intimate view of the play. The lobby is nice as are the restrooms. I've been attending performances at the Purple Rose Theatre since the 1990s. Be sure you see a production there.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a Preview performance of Diva Royal at the Purple Rose Theater, written and directed by Jeff Daniels. I took my mother, and we both had a wonderful time. We lost my father only a couple months ago so just like Jeff said "We needed a laugh". The show is a hilarious and heartwarming comedy. The cast is superb, and Daniels' direction is spot-on. While the show may seem to be tailored to older women, I assure you that it is enjoyable for audiences of all ages and genders. The humor is universal, and the characters are relatable. I was particularly impressed by the Q&A session with Jeff Daniels after the show. He was gracious and insightful, and he shared some great stories about his career. Overall, I highly recommend Diva Royal. It is a well-written, well-acted, and well-directed show that will leave you laughing and feeling good. PS I hope you enjoy the photos I took before and after the show. I understand the rules about video and photography, so I made sure to only take pictures when the show wasn't in progress.

Fantastic theater. A local treasure. But I'm motivated to submit my review now because I just saw their current play, Bert and Trixie Visit the Vet. I wasn't quite certain what to expect from this play when I bought the tickets and I admit to hoping for a merely diverting 90 minutes, but wow was I surprised. The play was hilariously funny and heartwarming. My husband and I and the entire rest of the audience were literally gasping for air from laughing so hard. It ranks as one of the top 3 most funny performances I've ever seen anywhere. Treat yourself and your family and friends to something really special and GO SEE THIS PLAY before it's too late.

The Purple Rose is a great venue and we have enjoyed several performances over the years. Norma & Wanda is not one of them. Bawdy and suggestive can be funny, but this was disapointingly crude. F bombs? Really? We look forward to the quality dialog we are used to, in the next offering.

A wonderful part of Michigan's history, good things come from Jiffy! Giving you some of your baking favorites, muffins, brownies, cornbread and much more! Visited here with my 3rs grade class, way back in the far off time of 1993! If you're ever in the area, or would like to known more about Jiffy and the positive impact it's made for Michiganders, I would highly recommend the plant tour! Visit today and see how your baking needs can be made, in a Jiffy!

My visit was perfect. Checked in at first bldg on right. Then went to end of the street on L to get loaded. Check in went relatively fast. Free boxes of cornbread mix was cool. In and out of door quickly. Load was heavy, but loaded correctly. 43,700.

There is a blonde haired woman driving on the 94 highway at 10:53am today while on her phone swerving and hitting the rumple strips several times in a Jiffy Mix truck. Absolutely dangerous and irresponsible. Please address this.

A very bad company has been loading for more than 4 hours and they say, We haven’t loaded you yet, it’s very difficult to load until the end, it’s slow, it’s just a mess. The manager is very rude towards the drivers. It’s better not to go here unless you are willing to wait more than 4-5 hours ..I wouldn’t even give such companies one star; they work very slowly.

On Feb. 14, 2021 I opened 4 boxes of Jiffy Mix, 2 Apple Cinnamon ( sell by 9/12/21 - C 02563B) and 2 Raspberry Mixes (sell by 4/25/21 - C 0116B) added 1 egg, I looked down at the mix and saw 20 bugs crawling around in the mix. So disgusting. My grandchildren were discussed and disappointed. That should not be happening. If I didn't look we wouldn't have seen them until after The bread was cooked ( yuck). Extra spots in the bread. They were big enough to see. LOOK OUT PEOPLE!

Call me crazy but I made sure on a trip from Colorado that I hit the Jiffy tour. I loved it as I’m into going to random interesting places. They got the coolest gear and the tour ain’t half bad!

What a super fun tour! The kids didn't mind the video and the tour was fun. We got gift bags and was able to purchase more. We got a variety pack and was not disappointed 😍. Our tour guide was upbeat and informational.

What a wonderfully restored train depot. The building is fantastic and there are lots of exhibits, pictures and things to look at inside. This should be a must stop if you're around this area in Michigan.

Very cool place to visit! Only 7 mins from the expressway. It's very cool to see a train pass, and go inside to look at the history!

This is my first time taking an Amtrak train. I'm traveling from Durand to Chicago and then to Milwaukee. We were able to get inside the station. The conductor was very friendly and everything went very smoothly. The station was very clean and so pretty!

One of most photographed train stations in USA

We stumbled across this while driving in the country, and boy are we glad we did! It's a very cool station with loads of historical train info in its train museum. And, seeing it set up for Christmas was incredible - beautiful and festive. We were also lucky enough to see two trains pass while we were there. What a treat!

This is a really special place. Don’t let the unassuming dirt road fool you. There are really neat exhibits on railroads, an amazing display of model trains, and even a unique bookstore. Be sure to ask if you can visit upstairs. This is quite a view.

Love this place!! So very beautiful and extremely rich in history!! Wonderful ladies running the museum , including the volunteer I spoke with! Thank you, to everyone there!!
