Spread out so even with bugs groups it isn’t bad. Parking is a pain. Street parking and 2 hour limit. Have to go out and add more. The outdoor part was closed for renovation. Kids loved the airplane you can drive, water station and hurricane simulator. The bike ride would have been fun but my daughter was a hair too short. They also loved the battle bots you could make .

What a fun and interesting place to take children and to learn as an adult as well. So many wonderful things to see and do. Very interactive. They even have a movie theater inside as well as a snack bar. We saw the movie Wild Ohio that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources had produced to showcase many wonderful places in Ohio.

I had a very interesting and fun experience. It’s a very educational and has different stuff for different ages. The membership is well worth getting. My favorite part was the simulation ride. I’m definitely coming back again.

Passing through Toledo on a road trip we stopped here to break of the ride and we were beyond pleasantly surprised. Parking was a cinch and cost $2 for 2 hours right outside on Main Street and our girls ages loved all the hands on activities. We had to drag them out of there as they didn’t want to leave. Thank you, Imagination Station!

We had an amazing time here! It’s the perfect mix of fun and learning for both kids and adults. The exhibits are hands-on and really engaging.

Grandkids enjoyed this stop. It rained so this was plan B since our outdoor activities were ruined. Several hands on exhibits were not working. The place was very busy. They do offer many activities for a lot of different ages and interest.

We relish the time and stem experience that sparked curiosity in children. Lego and other activities make it even more exciting.

A really fun experience! The people who checked us in were so kind also ❤️ thank you! It’s so full of history for kids and adults. Great mini movie. Definitely worth watching. The ship was awesome. I saw a lot of reviews saying it’s hot on it. But I mean of course it would be it’s a ship in the sun! It was so cool though!! My kids loved it and so did I.

Visiting the museum can be an enriching experience, providing valuable insights into different cultures. The carefully curated exhibits showcase various artifacts, offering a glimpse into the past. You can explore the diverse collections at your own pace, allowing for personalized learning. Detailed information panels accompany each display, enhancing your understanding of the objects. Overall, the museum provides an opportunity for education and enjoyment.

Very interesting to see the vast and tragic history of the great lakes so much to see here and learn. The ship was very cool to see and tour and the guides were very knowledgeable and helpful they other cool story's of the area plus it was Halloween and they were dressed as pirates and giving out candy well worth the visit. The tuggs were also interesting. The museum wad full of all the good and bad history of the lakes. Lots of artifacts from the ship wrecks. Im glad i stopped and hzve lots of pictures. Thanks for the cool tour, and keep up the great work and hope to see yall agan. Thanks a whole lot!!!!!

If you want a museum that you can go to from open to close, this is the place. The freighter alone is worth 6 hours alone. The museum is about 3 to 4 hours. There is just so much to see and learn. Being here was worth the trip. The life raft from the Edmund Fitzgerald was really shocking to see as very little had been found when she went down. It's really a nice collection of history of the Great Lakes and learning how important they are to the area.

Shout out to Ellen: Our Edmund Fitzgerald tour guide. Very professional for the theme of the material and very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. All the data that was given, she never forgot the compassionate side of the storie as she stated "let's not forget that we lost 29 people that day." The museum part had some great displays and yes there were noisy kids but kids are noisy. The museum itself was great. Thank you for the 50th anniversary experience of the Fitzgerald

On the last day of our family reunion in Toledo to honor my late father, we discovered the National Museum of the Great Lakes just after lunch nearby. We decided to tour both the Schoonmaker lake barge and then visit the museum next door. After purchasing our tickets, the receptionist advised us to board the Schoonmaker first. I am glad she did since we had only thirty minutes to spare and would have missed out on the barge otherwise. It was our first time on a lake barge and we were impressed by its size, especially knowing it was built in the same era as the Titanic. The scale remains striking even today. Unfortunately, we did not have time to explore the museum itself. We managed a quick stop in the gift shop and also took a few photos by the giant propeller at the entrance. Not seeing the full museum gives us another reason to return on our next visit. We also want to thank the museum for honoring the military with discounted tickets. We greatly appreciated that!

Visited the National Museum of the Great Lakes as part of the 50th anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald. We had the tour of the James S. Schoonmaker to start our visit, and our tour guide Tom was tremendous. Fielded many questions and was educated and informed to answer all. Made the tour very digestible and entertaining. Tom was an excellent guide! The museum itself was terrific. Very interactive and wide ranging in its exhibits. We enjoyed our visit greatly and would definitely revisit. Great value, and great for all ages.

Stopped in rather briefly but we enjoyed what we saw. The staff were very friendly (shoutout to Reggie) and we loved the collection on the East side. We arrived shortly after they opened on Sunday and only a few others were there. Love that the lot and museum were free. Definitely would come back again.

Hello future tourist… I recommend this museum. From start to finish the staff is very welcoming. Is great to take the family, friends, or simply go on a date with your significant other. The atmosphere is very clean and organized. I did enjoy that every so often they have new exhibits to view. They also have an area for special events one can have. That was pretty neat too. Now, across from the museum they have Glass Pavilion . They have neat glass art displays. Also, you could see staff members working on new glass projects. I really enjoyed my experience. I hope you like it as much as I did.

This museum is beautiful & all of the art there is as well. I love how knowledgeable the staff there is, how everything is set up & the fact that they have interactive activities for the whole family, especially the kids. If you like art, like learning about new things, & don't mind walking I would recommend you to go check it out.

Went here solo, for the first time, and thoroughly enjoyed the total experience. Free parking and admission, lovely well rounded collection, beautiful building and grounds with a pleasant and helpful staff. Bonus: had the place mostly to myself. Thanks Toledo!

The museum is beautiful and has a wide variety of art to check out. The staff were super friendly too. One offered to take a photo of our group and another told us a bit of background information about a piece we found interesting. Overall, it was a great experience, and it's awesome that admission is free!

We had a great afternoon looking at all the art. I would like to take my grandson this winter. There is a really nice area for children.

We really enjoyed the glass collection, so many beautiful pieces! Loved the jewelry collection too. Will definitely come again when we're in the area. Really appreciated the free admission and parking too! Very friendly staff.

The beach at Maumee Bay State Park is a pretty solid spot if you’re looking to hang out by Lake Erie. It’s got a decent stretch of sand—not huge, but enough space to spread out and chill. The views of the lake are really nice, especially on a clear day when the water’s calm and blue. It’s perfect for a laid-back picnic or just soaking up some sun. That said, the beach does get busy on weekends and during summer, so if you want some peace and quiet, try going early or on a weekday. Swimming is possible, but heads up—sometimes the water quality isn’t the best because of algae blooms, which can make the water a bit murky and not super inviting for a dip. So definitely check the conditions before jumping in. Facilities-wise, there are bathrooms nearby which is convenient, but I’ll be honest, they could use a bit more TLC—nothing terrible, but not sparkling clean either. The park staff seem to do their best, but with the crowds, it’s understandable. Overall, the beach adds a nice balance to the park. It’s not a fancy, lifeguard-supervised beach, but it’s a chill, natural spot where you can enjoy the lake, toss a frisbee, or just relax with friends and family. Plus, it’s right next to all the other cool trails and amenities the park has, so it makes for a great day out.

This is a large State Park. Campsites are large and private. You do not really see your neighbors. All of the campsites I saw had pads and fire pits. There is electric hookup at the site. Look at the site map on the web site to determine where the restrooms and water are located. This park has a beach on Lake Erie and on an inland pond by Lake Erie. There are many hiking and bike trails. Really nice. There is a Lodge with hotel type rooms. There is a Nature Center with a boardwalk that is handicap accessible. There is a golf course AND a very nice disc golf course. This is also just fifteen minutes away from a Walmart if you forgot anything. A weekend or a week, this is a great campground. The only negative is that the campground sites are a long walk from the beach if you have kids.

We headed here to be near the water, the ocean was just too far of a drive. We tent camped at the campground at the park. And enjoyed the beach on Lake Erie. The beach closes at sunset (a must see). The camp store is where we checked into our site and got a map of the park and campground. This is also where you can buy souvenirs. The campgrounds are in great condition and clean. The only thing that I would change are more or closer restrooms. It was a long walk to the bathroom if nature was calling quick, you better hope you make it 😆. Deer are abundant and just watch you like you are watching them. We enjoyed the beach and also walking up the Big Hill to see the view. Take quarters so you can use the binocular thingy up there. You can see Michigan across the lake! Maumee Bay State Park has a disc golf course and one of the launch pads is on top of the Big Hill. Although there are amazing beaches on Lake Erie they also offer an inner beach, close to the playground. From what I noticed this beach had softer sand and no waves like the Erie beach. I also saw someone kayaking out there on the inner beach. There were plenty of places for cookouts and picnics. A perfect place for a day trip if you are close by. This park is beautiful. I forgot to mention there also was a nature center (I didn't not get to visit) and a golf course in the park.

Our 1st time at Maumee Bay. The park was beautiful. Every campsite was so much more spacious and private than the other state parks we have been to where all the campsites are very close to each other. The beach is beautiful, the trails are great for walking or biking. Our only problem we had with the park is that it only has 1 dump station so it can get kinda busy. The lodge is also beautiful, if you venture over that way. The pool is open to the campers, but they do charge $16 a person to use it.

Campsites are large but lack shade. Restrooms are very nice. The park offers many activities including an archery park, a kayaking/canoeing pond, a lake Erie beach as well as an inland beach on a man-made lake, disc golf, boardwalk trails, nature center, a lodge/hotel.and more!

Beautiful and relaxing. Plenty of things for everyone to do something. Soft beds and amazing shower! Food was good but expensive. Really enjoyed the various places to sit and chat with family and friends.

Beautiful day to enjoy at the end of Summer. The wind is heavy but feels so good. Its not to hot now so you can spend more time touring trails too.

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.

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.

*This review is for the water park only* I did not stay at the hotel! My family and I came on a Saturday and bought the day passes. $50 a piece. Absolutely NOT worth it. Maybe half the cost would have been. Maybe. The facility itself is pretty run down and stuff is rusty and dingy in the bathrooms/changing area. You are required to sign a waiver which alleviates the resort of all liability pretty much which is super smart on their end because there are safety hazards at every corner. We are pretty strong swimmers and the "lazy river" is anything but lazy. There are hardware parts missing on certain spots of the river which leaves sharp metal sticking out IN THE WATER. At the top of the slides area there are no adults or staff on duty so it is up to children to decide when it's safe to go down!?? I went on the splash pad structure with my daughter for 2 minutes and am very cautious about my footing in general and the whole structure was slick no matter where you stepped. I ended up slipping while holding on the sides and fell on the metal stairs, luckily landing on my elbows and back instead of my head. The lifeguard on duty asked if I was ok but I have giant bruises on my back and arms. We left soon after. So annoyed that I spent $150 for 2 hours of stress and injuries. The only solace is that my daughter had fun.

So here it goes... I would 100% revisit the splash park. Awesome time. Fun for the whole family. The lazy river is faster than I expected which was super cool. I honestly loved the experience .. the splash park is the reason this place got any stars from me. Yes the hotel is out dated but I can live with that . What I cannot live with is the lack of cleanliness of the rooms/bathroom, the roaches crawling around at night near the sink and floor, and the ac stuck at 80 degrees . I guess the thermostat wasn't working. I let the front desk know while I was leaving . For nearly 500$ for 1 night I expected better... I wasn't even offered a reduction in price. Although, I didn't ask. I merely stated the conditions in hopes management will get it under control because I really did enjoy my time. I'll go again but will stay at a different hotel .

I went a few weeks ago and called before I went. I came in the afternoon and got a day pass. I paid the guy and went to get a locker and change. I was very upset to see the hot springs was drained and not working. I drove almost an hour to get there and I only use the lazy river and hot tub but couldn't use the hot tub. Why was I not told when I called on the phone? Why was I not told when I got my wristband? This is not right. I should be reimbursed. Very unhappy customer 😕 😞

This hotel is an embarrassment to hotels. I did book it because it was close to Milan we were here because my mom passed. I booked 4 rooms and it was something wrong with them all. Plugs didn’t work stains in shower and stopper broke, irons didn’t work, rooms were so outdated, elevator was out of order, ice machine on the 2nd floor was out of order ( we were told it’s been out of order for a while) vending machines were all out of order and empty. I have never stayed somewhere that I feel should be shut down. There was not one thing I can say good. I will never again compromise quality over proximity I will drive to stay in a good quality hotel. We was also told maintenance only wok till 3 pm and I ask for the mangers number she said she called him but he didn’t answer. I can’t imagine how the water side was. I will be contacting whoever to request some money back

Our reservation was for two nights but we had to reschedule. When we arrived, the reservation was for only one night. We were able to add the extra night, before reading the reviews. It's true. The elevator was out of order, the vending machines (at the hotel) were out of order, with expired product visible. The hot tub was out of order (at the water park). The bar and restaurant were closed. In our double Queen room for four adults, there was ONE chair in the room. One of the outlets in the room didn't work. The curtains were dry rotted. We decided NOT to use the lazy river (the reason for our visit) due to the reviews from the previous weekend of sewer back up in the restroom at the water park. The manager was not friendly but had his staff relay negative energy to us. Since there was only ONE chair in the room, we took our games to the lobby at a large table. We took our own snacks and drinks. The manager told his staff to make sure we were in our room by 10pm as he was leaving for evening. Would not recommend this facility in this condition. We will not return.

Really not one single thing about our trip. We get there at check-in around 4 restaurants closed and we were hungry. Water park closed at 6 so we had less than 2 hours. Only given 1 bath towel for 4 people. 90% of the crane games empty, vending machines empty, ice machine broke. I complained to front desk they said a manger would call me, never did. I've called a few more times and never anyone there I can talk to. They said we'll have management call but never do. If I could give them zero Stars I would but I was forced to give them one star. Save your money and go someplace that actually cares about their customers and business

I was so disappointed with Splash Universe. We ended up leaving and requesting a refund after about two hours. Issues: 1. Dirty room with visible dust, brown splatter on the wall, brown sludge in the fridge, dirty shower, broken phone 2. We saw two employees. They had one person at the front during check-in - she was great but needed a second person to manage demand. 3. Many, many out-of-order signs. Broken vending machines and elevators. 4. The elevators that are working have EXPIRED licenses. See photos for two examples. 5. One lifegaurd at the door. 6. Rust and dirt everywhere in the water park. Safety cones all over. So many kids falling and slipping. It is so rundown! It looks like they haven’t repainted or refinished in many years. 7. No staff at gift shop or other stalls. 8. No housekeeping! 9. No signs to show you where to go. The front check-in area doesn’t even have a sign. We saw multiple people wandering from door to door to find the main entrance - ourselves included. This place is not safe and has clearly ignored regulations (like the elevators). Pros: 1. Wendy at the front desk is so kind and helpful. This is not on the staff. Clearly the owners are trying to skimp their way through.

Good atmosphere and variety of items to purchase. Staff available if needed to ask questions and need assistance. Staff is also very friendly and will also help educate you on the animals you see there in their displays.

Great store! I’ve always loved the locations back in Ohio, and this one didn’t disappoint. I really enjoyed all the taxidermy displays and the aquarium. They also have an elevator to access the upstairs area, as well as electric carts for convenience. Prices can be a bit high, but that’s to be expected with the quality they offer.

A fun experience for all ages. Any outdoors enthusiast will find what they have been searching for. Where can you shop and feed fish indoors……

This is always a great place for us to stop on our road trips. They allow dogs in the store, which we love! We love to stop here, and shop for a few things, while exploring all of the cool things this store has to offer. The employees are always so welcoming every time we come here! My dogs are always amazed at all the animals they get to see! And the fish! Don't miss out on the fish!

Had to go with the husband and grandson, they enjoy coming here… me not so much but it’s just not my jam…I go to be with them. Beautiful store, I think they must carry everything for the outdoors person.

Love this place. Grandkids love this place. So much to see. Staff is typically very friendly and knowledgeable. Even if there is an issue or mix up, its typically fixed with a simple phone call. And the Club offers are great too! Lots of discounts and rewards! I used rewards points to aquire this beautiful hunting tool!

Just stopped to get a pair of clip-on sunglasses. They have a wonderful selection. $40 a pair got a pair that fit very nicely have been here a couple of times. You stop and see the taxidermy display it is phenomenal.

My wife and I had a great time relaxing here, it was fantastic to get away and leave our phones off and enjoy nature here. There are many beautiful places to just sit, think and relax It would be perfect for a picnic or going on a hike. We will back!

This place is beautiful! Very friendly staff, we went during the Fall festival/pumpkin Fest, wasn't crowded, easy parking. Handicap options. Lots of bathroom options, including in the gift store, a fully functional bathroom with a water filling station nearby, porta potties all over the place (maybe in place because of the festival). Had a lot of great trail options, both paved and hiking style, a stunning canopy suspension bridge. Very cool. Apparently the longest in Michigan I've heard., And plenty of seating and tables for eating. They also had a really fascinating tri dome with three different atmospheres (arid [would like to note for general staff, the fan in the arid dome is highly annoying. The clicking needs to stop.], temperate, and tropical) which were all extremely fascinating and it was just in general a fantastic experience. ANNNND a bonsai Garden. Highly recommend. P.S. If you happen to be a nature center member (check if this applies to your specific NC membership) or part of an organization that's in the ANCA, you can also get in for free with proof of membership (only two memebers at a time/percar? Per the gate representative, sooo not too sure about that) . Support your local nature centers! 💚🥾🏞️ Will be going back, I think it'll especially be beautiful in spring.

I'm living only 100 miles away from this gem and I did not know it existed! Beautiful garden! Let me share my experience of the trip. So we went in April when only a few plants / flowers are blowing outside. Ticket at the gate provides a day pass so you are able to leave and come back, just make sure to show them the receipt. Walk to the Sky Walk bridge is relatively long but interesting with informative posters along the way. Walk on the bridge is short but interesting. Park member greets everyone (counts too haha) and offering to take a picture, that's awesome bonus! Conservatory was amazing but bonsai garden was not out yet. All plants are in outstanding condition! Motivation to get to that point with my home plants one day haha. Ohh, trails, so many hiking and walking paths and I was soo unprepared for that! Make sure to have good walking shoes, water, and sun sprays bug sprays with you, would help a lot to stay for longer! The last but not the least - food! Take food, snacks, water. I didn't find food sold there or at least in April. So we had to leave to buy lunch and come back, but somehow forgot to do carry out, to have lunch at one of the picnic tables at the park. So I would suggest plan to spend a few hours there as it a lot to see!

Had a gorgeous day to be at the gardens and Skywalk. We explored the Conservatory, art exhibit, and gift shop, walked the grounds, spent time at the Skywalk and trails, and enjoyed the bubbling stream at the Hosta hillside. We had a picnic lunch and then went back to the Skywalk to end our day. Spent a lovely 5 hours and made memories to cherish.

Beautiful, affordable, gorgeous right now with the autumn colors. So many hiking trails, you could easily spend 5 hours here just walking and relaxing.

So I went for the first time and it was amazing ! First thing is I see a lot of comments about it being short or long, in my expirence here on a 90°+ day, the sky walk was the first thing we did and thank goodness because the trees made it easily 10° cooler.... the walk up is long and has a steep windy part but with someone who has trouble walking there were plenty of benches to stop at. I can see where people think it's short but in my opinion I saw a lot of people rushing through to get to the bridge... slow down and enjoy the path there's a lot to see on the way up too! The bridge was great in my opinion with a break spot about midway for those of you afraid of bridges ... my company is afraid of bridges and everyone behind us were super nice and waited for us to cross before they did and we were not fast by any means. Everyone we met was nice and the guy at the observatory let us go look even though we only had 5 mins till close..I am super grateful because the bonsai trees were cooler than the bridge in my opinion and we were definitely there for like 10 mins not 5 so thanks for giving us the extra time to look..... we were there a little over 4 hours! And still had a ton to see!

Beautiful place. Bonsai Tree garden. Skywalk is a beautiful bridge and great walking paths.

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.

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.

We went to the Henry Ford Museum on my birthday and it was a great experience. Going in, I thought my wife would be bored from it, but she absolutely loved it. There were items from different eras of Americana. We decided on doing the indoor museum upon the threat of rain. I was thinking we'd other be there for a couple hours at most, as we don't dive deep into reading everything, but we literally left at closing. There was JFK's car, trains, old machinery, furniture, Abraham Lincoln's chair, and the actual bus that Rosa Parks sat on. Sitting in her seat, I reflected on how she must have felt. We learned so much. We also ate at the diner that was near the entrance. It was very affordable. I've been here 20 yesrs ago with my father and so much has changed and added. We can't wait to come back for the outdoor museum.

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!!

This is a must to visit museum. So much historic items. Plan to be here all day. There are clean restrooms, restaurants to eat at and easy to walk around. Fun Fun Fun. You will enjoy every turn you make. Henry Ford did things awesome when.it comes to preserving historic items.

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!

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.

Beautiful stadium and super nice staff. We were with the visiting team (Fire Up Chips🔥) and everyone was very welcoming to us!

First time there it was really nice and a lot bigger than expected, I wemt there to watch my grand son play football had a blast!

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.

Great interactive museum for young and preteen children - great visuals with the exhibits and a good variety of topics. Visited on a Friday afternoon over spring break with a 5 & 7 year old. When you enter to the left is the welcome counter with a small gift shop and on the right lockers/coatracks and restrooms. 1st floor near the back is a vending machine and small eating area. Loved the musical steps, the water room on the 1st floor and displays of discovered firehouse items. Lots of activity on the 1st and 2nd floors with the 3rd floor only having a small room focused in light, and 4th floor 2 smaller spaces with a few displays. Very cool overall and would recommend.

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.

Overall, this is a wonderful spot for families — everything was functioning well, and the hands-on exhibits came with quick, easy-to-follow instructions that even young kids could enjoy. The staff was friendly, and the entire area was clean and well-maintained. I did take one star off because we specifically came for the Gabby’s Dollhouse experience, expecting a fully decorated STEAM-themed room, but it turned out to be just a single table for making cat ears. That said, it’s still a fantastic place for families with toddlers to around age 8. Kids can explore and learn how the world works — from sound waves and electricity to gears and pulleys. It’s a fun, educational outing for the whole family.

Great time, I would like a little more reading panels with some vocabulary words, but it was a great time for my kids 1-14. I and several other adults were also interacting with the exhibits. There are plenty of places to fiĺl water and bathrooms near all the fun stuff. Bring shoes to get wet and a snack as you'll be here a while because of how great the place is.

Friendly people. Very interactive and open to all ages. Even the adults can have fun learning about the mechanics of the world we live in. Kids probably could have spent the whole day at the water play station

Matthaei Botanical Gardens is an absolutely beautiful and magical place, especially if you're into photography. My daughter and I spent 5 hours there (inside and outside) and it felt like no time at all. There is so much to marvel at from familiar native plants to tropical fruit trees to 75+ year-old bonsai trees, hummingbirds, frogs, bees, more flowers than you can count, and the occasional chipmunk. 😁 You can stroll through the building, walk the trails, or just sit on a bench in the flower garden and enjoy the scenery. This place is nothing short of spectacular.

I recently visited Matthaei Botanical Gardens and had a wonderful experience. The conservatory is impressive, with separate sections for tropical, desert, and temperate plants. It feels like stepping into different climates all in one place. The outdoor gardens and trails are peaceful and very well maintained. The children’s garden and prairie area are especially nice for a calm walk or quiet time with family. Parking is convenient, and admission is free, which makes it an easy spot to visit anytime. Overall, this is one of the best places in Ann Arbor to enjoy nature, take a relaxing walk, and explore a wide variety of plants. Highly recommended.

WOW what a beautiful experience!!!!! This place is absolutely magical the bonsai garden is stunning one of them is over 1,000 years old you absolutely must see if you are a bonsai lover !!!!! I went with my fiancé and we both thought it was really cool there were people on site trimming all the bonsai answering any questions we had about our own plants loved that 😗 the gardens themselves extremely wonderful 😍😍😍very well organized each plant labeled which I really enjoyed !! It’s such a peaceful place even with others there you don’t even know it !!☮️they have over 3 miles of trails as well so you know we had to go see that it’s connected to the parking lot of the gardens so it’s very convenient 💖 we didn’t walk deep into the trails because it was very hot out but what we did get to explore let us know want to come back !!! The view of the pond in my photos is one of the pictures from the trails !! If you are looking for something free*** and beautiful to do I suggest putting this place on your list !!!

Absolutely gorgeous botanical gardens. Indoor green houses with tropical and desert spaces with water features. Outdoors has plenty of peaceful walking trails, children's play area, picnic areas, and gorgeous curated and wildflower gardens. We highly recommend visiting here when you are in Ann Arbor!

Matthaei Botanical Gardens is one of my favorite places to visit, no matter what time of year. It is awfully nice during good weather to be able to enjoy the outside trails and gardens as well. It's one of my favorite places to go to escape just for the afternoon.

Great place for some nice nature walks on well marked trails. The wait was to pay for parking as they only have 2 machines...my advice to keep things moving if there's a line is to just pay the max of $6 rather than to try paying for a few hours. Everything else is free to enjoy so $6 for a carload is a pretty good deal!

Totally worth visiting for the day. The only cost is parking. Nature walks and other sections of the gardens are beautiful to see, and it's nice to be in nature. I would recommend checking it out, especially the bonsai tree section!

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.

Just returned from a VIP event at the Grove Park Inn. What a phenomenal weekend. The art, artists, and entire Park West team were the best. The event was fun, educational, and more than I could ask for! I can’t wait to hopefully have the opportunity to go again. We even got a visit from a mama bear and her cub as we left. Thank you Park West for an exceptional experience.

I love Park West Gallery. We first were introduced to this company on a cruise ship. We participated in an auction and bought some very reasonably priced art. We were then invited to a VIP event which was fabulous. We purchased more art that we absolutely love. We have subsequently participated in an online auction. We had a ton of fun and got some great deals on some absolutely stunning artwork. The customer service has been exemplary. All of our artwork has been shipped within a reasonable timeframe and has been in perfect condition. The artwork is exactly as described. The reproductions were clearly sold as reproduction, and the original art clearly sold as original and unique art. There were no high pressure sales, and I learned a great deal about new artists that I never would have discovered had I not participated in the educational sessions during the VIP event. if you are looking for high-quality art to make your home look beautiful then I would highly recommend working with Park West Gallery. I am by no means under any assumptions that I am purchasing artwork that is going to drastically increase in price or be a long-term investment. If you are purchasing art from Park West gallery with that assumption then I do not think you are purchasing for the right reasons. If you want to purchase the art because you think it’s beautiful and it’s going to make you happy then this is a company that will help you accomplish that goal.

I could not be more displeased with this company! I commissioned a painting from Michael Goddard, I understood when I purchased this painting that it was coming in a certain frame. But when I received my artwork the frame was broken in all four corners and come to find out it was a extremely cheap plastic framing, along with only a piece of plexiglass. I tried to get the company to help me reconcile my framing issue, my only options were to have them send me the exact same cheap frame take it to a local framer and have them reframe it but they would only reimburse me up to $100! Or they would send me a FedEx label to send the painting back to them they would reframe it and send it back to me. When I asked if I could purchase a new frame they said it would cost me at least $799! This company had invited me on an all-paid trip to Asheville North Carolina to see more of the artist work that did this painting for me. I canceled the trip and I absolutely refused to ever do business with part Gallery West again. Not one person from that company has called me in regards to my disappointment and have certainly let them know how disappointed I am with their company. I went to reframe the painting myself when I did I found out that their company had actually taped my painting to the backboard, the framer was afraid to remove the tape because it might destroy the painting. I cannot believe that this is the type of product they are producing for Michael Goddard! Never again Park Gallery West! The first picture is the new framing the rest of the pictures are of the cheap plastic framing and the damage.

Edited to let everyone know that their reply below with any email to contact means nothing as they just wouldn't reply to your email! If I could give zero stars I would. I purchased a very expensive painting from a Park West art auction on a cruise, which was supposed to include several free prints and EU shipping to avoid taxes and fees. None of that turned out to be true. I was hit with unexpected customs charges and spent weeks dealing with FedEx because of incorrect paperwork Park West provided. The free prints, which were promised as part of the same shipment, were sent separately with errors in the documentation, and they ended up being confiscated. I’ve spent countless hours emailing FedEx and Park West, and Park West’s customer service has been utterly useless. Emails go ignored, staff don’t seem to read what you’ve written, and basic requests are either misunderstood or ignored entirely. For a company dealing in high-value artwork, their aftercare is shockingly bad. What should have been a joyful experience purchasing my first major art piece has become a stressful, drawn-out ordeal. I would strongly advise others not to purchase from Park West

I've bought several pieces of artwork by Michael Cheval and their amazing. Plus, they'll finance the artwork. Their framing department is First Rate. Give them a shout if you wish to invest in artwork.

I had the opportunity to enjoy several activities of Park West Gallery on the Celebrity / Constellations cruise. I liked them. Tao was very friendly and professional. I loved his presentation at the Salvador Dali exhibition. Thank you, Tao. Keep shining. 😊

This company is unethical and has deceptive practices. Beware. Was told I was getting an original, which was not the case. Was later informed the artist would be preparing a piece for me that would slightly differ from what I purchased. Was later informed that it would possibly take longer than the 12 weeks they indicated for shipping and delivery. Nothing about my experience with PWG has been positive. Not to mention, they are horrible with follow up. Thanks for your quick reply. However, you’re not going to take the appropriate action necessary. Your senior reps are the ones I reached out to initially and they never replied until I disputed the credit card. Again, poor business practices, and what is being offered is not acceptable.

Very kind staff. Came here as a educational trip for our daughter. Strikingly an affordable price and very well out together exhibit. It was nice to view the exhibit at your own pace to really get through all the material. Highly recommended.

I haven't been to this museum since grade school, and some aspects are just as I remember them. This is an invaluable experience for anyone who has an interest in WWII and The Holocaust, also for anyone who had families that lived through it, or lost loved ones. The artifacts and exhibits are humbling and devastating, but the spirit of perseverance carries through. It happened before, it is our responsibility to make sure it never happens again.

The staff is knowledgeable, patient and kind. It offers unique opportunities to hear survivors or the children of survivors speak and answer questions. It is an excellent place to learn and reflect.

Quite an eye opening experience on the holocaust. We liked all the details that were on display. I think the lights could have been better placed so as to eliminate reflection on the wall artifacts. Additionally, the font colors and sizes made the texts a bit difficult to read due to dim lighting.

It was the best museum I have ever visited. Very clean, organized, and informative. This is a must visit!

Very educational. More people should see it for a better understanding of what happened to people during WW2. It's amazing how people be so cruel towards others

My wife & I went visit here in 2017. From we the beginning we had an kind of idea of what to expect, yet we weren't quite sure what to expect. But upon entering we soon realized this wasn't just an average museum. One of the first things you see as you walk in is one of the actual rail cars used in the transport of thousands to their final destination. The whole place is fascinating, educational, yet very sombering. The items on display were from both sides in story line fashion from the time it began, to end, & how things have progressed since. A picture frame display of an actual tree like the one Ann Frank seen upon her last days is seen at the Museum. The tree is from a seed that came from the tree that provided her the only view of the world outside. The highlight of the trip was story telling from an actual survivor of the Holocaust. He did a very good job, drawing the audience in, as he explained the real story of how his life was during the early years of his life. Folks you can't get more real then that. If you get a chance to hear one of these stories from these folks who lived it I would HIGHLY recommend attending as their numbers are dwindling. The only thing that was very disheartening that was seen, & over heard was from some of the other visitors themselves. Youth groups, & young people in general that displayed a lack of interest in history, & showed a lack respect to those that have come before, & the elder adults with them weren't that much better. Very sad to see. Apparently there's still a battle going on. My only hope is that the battle with the Jewish people, & the unfair treatment of them will one day end.

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.

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.

First time visiting! We choose the Guided House Tour and would highly recommend to those interested in learning about the family history. Our guide (forgot her name) was knowledgeable and open to questions from the group. When we’re back in town we’ll definitely take the Behind the Scenes tour.

Our wedding day was truly perfect, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everything Morgan Pierce did to help make it so special. She was an absolute joy to work with. She was professional, kind, and incredibly thoughtful every step of the way. The venue was stunning and beautifully maintained. The most perfect day. Thank you to everyone involved for making our wedding unforgettable.

When couples inquire and tell us they are getting married at Meadowbrook, we get excited. We know that they are in great hands and will have a wonderful wedding. We have photographed dozens of weddings at Meadowbrook over the years and are always inspired and in awe of the beauty. Every corner of this place is picturesque. The grounds are so beautiful and offer a classic and elegant backdrop for your special event. 10/10, would 100% recommend having your wedding here.

Strolled through the Floral Art installation in the woods, along with all the gardens and estate - stunning and a one of a kind experience mixing so many of my delights ~ art, flowers, natural outdoors, history, and ample opportunity for photography.

We absolutely LOVED this venue!!! We've photographed and filmed several events here, and the weddings our couples host here are the best!! One of our favorite venues in Michigan - the historic building, the incredible architecture, and kind staff make it a great place to host your wedding! Highly recommended! We love photographing and filming here!!

We had our wedding here in October and the day itself was beautiful! The mansion is absolutely breath taking and all our pictures looked stunning at the property. My issue is with the management and coordination. The first thing that I look back on that makes me sad is that none of our programs were passed to guests as they arrived. I still have hundred of them sitting around my house that I put a lot of time and effort into, knowing our guests would have loved them. Plus is had important information on it such as a processional order and timeline of events. My close family even said that NO ONE GREETED THEM as people arrived! And there is someone literally sitting at a desk when you walk in. The biggest thing was that they DID NOT SERVE one of my cakes!!! We had 3 flavors of cake and only 2 cakes were served. I never was told, nor did I get it back from the venue. When I called to address this, meadow brook tried to say the bakery didn't deliver it. So I called the bakery and they ASSURED ME that they delivered all cakes and even gave me the name of who they dropped them off with. When I confronted Meadow Brook about this they never responded!! How upsetting!! I paid for that and wanted it to be served to my guests and they couldn't even give me the decency to apologize for their wrong doing! Terrible! Something that is SO upsetting that happened too was that ALL the favors were thrown away at the end of the night!!! My family and I put SOOO much time into making all the favors and they weren't even given back to us at the end of the night. I cannot believe it! At least ask us if we want them! Another thing that doesn't sit well with me was that the late night snack barely got touched and they threw away HUNDREDS of donuts! No one mentioned anything to me about putting out the late night snack, so I only found out when I saw someone with a donut. My husband didn't even know/get to eat one and we got them because they're his favorite!! Another thing that is so sad looking back on. Also, our coordinator that we communicated with the entire time leading up to the wedding left in the middle of it! She had another person there but we had no idea who he was. Overall, I loved my wedding and it was stunning, but there are many things I look back on that make me sad because of Meadow Brooks lack of management and coordination. LOTS of food was thrown away without the option of taking any home (like OUR CAKE that we paid for, and the late night snack). This really bothers me because WE PAID FOR IT!! No one even asked if it could be thrown away either. One more thing to note is the venue BARELY lets you come before the ceremony, so if you're doing a first look you need to request extra time. My photographer requested we come 2 hours before the ceremony in order to get all our pictures done so we could enjoy cocktail hour. The coordinators let us come early, but originally they only let you come an hour before. So make sure if you are doing pictures beforehand that you ask to come earlier! BIG price tag for all these things to go wrong the day of. Good thing is that none of our guests would have known during the wedding, but it upsets me to look back on knowing this went on behind the scenes.

Attended a wedding and it was absolutely beautiful! Be sure and walk through the mansion if you are there for a specific event. Well worth seeing this beautiful home.

Amazing outlet mall!! Passing thru (NH resident here) brought my nephew to his 1st mall!! Got school clothes& shoes. Very impressed with the prices in multiple stores

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!

Visited this outlet mall recently and was pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of stores and solid discounts. From big-name brands to smaller specialty shops, there’s something for everyone.

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 mall was the biggest mall I’ve been to yet! There were so many different stores, restaurants, and other places to visit! Me and my family went to Sea Life, and it was an experience we’ll never forget!

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.

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.

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.

My mom-in-law is there and Will join my dad-in-law whom passed away today. Beautiful Resting place! Great people , Above and Beyond who work there. The Absolute Best. Blessings to All.

Both of my parents chose to have their ashes placed in the columbarium wall at the Great Lakes National Cemetery. There is a small compartment with their ashes and is marked with a granite marker. Their location faces a lovely lake and is a beautiful spot. The cemetery is well kept and demonstrates respect and care for veterans.

The Service was beautiful as well as the grounds. Everything is well kept and surprisingly easy to find. I wouldn’t want my dad anywhere else. **We took the flag back home. Just took it for photos for his birthday.***

What a beautiful resting place. I know no one here, but everyone here died for me as an American. It's a profound experience to visit & to see the sacrifice these men & women made. I wonder if there are service animals here as well. Everyone should visit. My visit today has affected me. Sometimes being grateful just doesn't feel like enough.

My parents are both buried here and it is truly one of the most beautiful places.

This is such an amazing resting place for military people I know two people who are buried here the avenue of flags is beautiful with all the flags flying high it's such a memorable site and the water I would just love to be buried here this is an amazing place where lots of people have been buried I recommend visiting

Knowing that my parents are now together at this beautiful cemetery calms my soul. The military ceremony was so moving and made me so proud of my dad and all who’ve served. A phenomenal resting place.

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.

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.

Beautiful day to spend here. My wife and kids had never been before. So many memories were made by them. The people working were friendly, courteous and very helping work information about the buildings and history. Loved being there.

We started building an HO scale railroad layout and thought it might be a good idea to do some research on railroads and older buildings. So off we went to Crossroads Village & Huckleberry Railroad in Genesee County. We purchased our tickets in advance on line. Before entering we walked by 2 beautiful gardens. One was a Monarch way station and the other was by Michigan State University Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program. The day we went was the 43rd Annual Railfans weekend. What a fun place to visit 😃. All of the people working there were very friendly and helpful. We walked around and looked inside many of the buildings and were able to obtain lots of information for the model train layout. We also did a scavenger hunt and a little village tour. There were model railroad layout presented by several model railroad clubs. If you get an opportunity to visit, do it! We plan on going back and spending more time in the village and will definitely be taking another train ride on Engine #152.

Crossroads Village and Huckleberry Railroad is a great place to visit as a family! They always have cool Halloween attractions and they also have stuff during Christmas as well. Seeing, hearing, and being able to ride on an old school steam locomotive is a real treat as well!

I had a lot of fun here at Crossroads. It was cool and interesting to see all the different shops and exhibits scattered around the place. I espicaly enjoyed the school and the sawmill so I would definitely advise going there. In general, I found it really cool to explore some of the methods of doing things in the past that are just completely different nowadays.

The town is cute, but let’s be honest, we came for the train ride. We arrived over an hour early to get the caboose for the kids and were told the limit was 10 to 11 people. We even split our group so they could have that magical experience. But the conductor added 12 extra people, cramming the caboose so full that kids were sitting on the floor and standing while the train was moving. It didn’t feel safe, and it definitely wasn’t special anymore. The magic, the joy, and the excitement we came for were completely taken away. Our kids were heartbroken while the conductor focused only on the people he added. What’s the point of giving out caboose passes if they don’t mean anything? The magic was gone the moment that train left the station.

Beautiful place. If you live history this is the place. Every single place inside has a lot of tell you, you will find a host waiting in each one and in a very kind way, They will give you a lot of details of everything there, the older that is the person the better that si the story and kindness. My favorites places were the barber shop, the school, lumber, doctor’s office … anyways you need to see by yourself everything there. People extremely kind.

The Halloween event was great! Only thing disappointing is the train was sold out. They said they only run roughly three trains a day. Other than this it was great.
