Discover Michigan’s nature at this innovative adventure center, where kids can “meet” elk (in statue form) and learn about how they live, identify dozens of fish in the aquarium area, step inside a yurt with bunk beds, paddle down a river in a kayak simulator, learn about Michigan’s rivers and lakes and “catch fish,” walk behind an indoor waterfall, cross stepping stones, wander through a cave, crawl inside a beaver lodge, “ride” a snowmobile, bike, or ATV, explore a 35-foot-tall oak tree playground, and much more. It’s the best outdoor experience a family can have–short of actually going outdoors, of course!
