Michigan's Adventure Amusement Park

Pros: Reasonable admission, Water park included, smaller park and less crowded
Cons: Everything inside is expensive, not convenient places to stay

We just visited Michigan Adventure for the second time last weekend, and all in all, it was a great trip. Michigan Adventure is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Unlike Disney World, there really wasn't much "celebrating" being done that I ...

Pros: Best waterpark around
Cons: Price of food!!! Outrageous

This 4th of July weekend, my wife came home with a pair of tickets for Michigan's Adventure. This is an amusement park located about 8-10 miles north of the city of Muskegon Michigan.

We live about 2 1/2 hours away from there, so we packed up...

Pros: something for everyone, reasonable price
Cons: food is expensive, you can't control the weather

I first took my family to Michigan's Adventure a few years ago. We had been looking for something nearby to do since I only had three days of vacation time. We decided on Michigan's Adventure since we got a discount for bringing Dr. Pepper cans, and I'm...

Pros: Affordable family fun
Cons: The park doesn't open until noon, Michigan weather can be temperamental

It was late August, and our family was getting a little antsy. Baseball season was over, the kids had done just about everything they could think of, my husband had an intense work and travel schedule, and I was counting the days until school began once...

Pros: Cheap family fun
Cons: only like 3 roller coasters...

We have gone to Michigan Adventure quite a few times. We don't live that far form there so it was something that we could do as a family as a weekend getaway.

When I was a kid my Mom and step-dad would take us there for a day of fun. We...

Pros: Affordable, Easy to get to, AND a mile from my house ;)
Cons: Food Costs Too much

Once upon a time about 22 years ago, in the western side of Michigan, there was once small park with a couple of mary-go-rounds, a roller coaster, an arcade, some bumper cars, a farris wheel, a live petting zoo, and some consetion booths called Deer...

Pros: Short Lines, Best Woody
Cons: Parking Price (7 bucks - Ouch!)

This park is perfect place for a family to come. I love everything about the park. Even though it is now owned by Cedar Fair (the company that owns cedar point) it still has that "privately owned" feeling to it. All my life I have been going to ...

Pros: Snoopy, who we never saw, large carnival
Cons: boring, staff ho-hum, rides and water park shut down on rainy day

Being in Michigan, we are not near too many adventures. We have to travel out of state for most amusement parks. In my entire I life I have never been to the Michigan's Adventure until last summer, and really, I can see what I was NOT missing. Forget ...

Pros: Great rides thrilling and mild.
Cons: expenisve food

This is truly an AMAZING amusement park. With rides for thrill seekers, little ones, and people just in-between, this is the perfect park! The best part is, there is almost no line on every ride. You can go on roller coasters over and over again in so ...

Pros: Roller Coasters and Water Slides!!! What more could you want?
Cons: Has to be a warm day to have the most fun

Michigan Adventure isn't a very large theme park, but don't let that fool you. The rides
are Colossal! You just can’t get enough of them!

Let me talk about the rides first. Roller Coasters Galore!!! They have quite a few for
...

Pros: Great family fun
Cons: park is a little small

While watching the Discovery Channel the had a bit on "Shivering Timber's" and I knew it was a matter of time before I made the trip from here in Chicago to Michigan's Adventure. Well we finally went about a month ago we left Chicago at...

Pros: Great price for a day of family fun!
Cons: Not open long enough!

This park has it all roller coasters, kiddie rides, water rides for adults and kiddie pools. The admission price includes all the rides and is great for kids of all ages. It was also nice how they put some kiddie rides near the roller coaster so little...

Pros: affordable, no long lines, 2 parks in one
Cons: expensive food

The best thing about Michigan Adventure, in my opinion, is that the lines are relatively short. I've been to other major amusement parks where you stand in line for more time than you actually get to spend on the rides. Here, you don't have as many...

Pros: no medical staff
Cons: could care less when some one gets hurt

No medical staff were on duty at the time of injury and we were told too bad handle it. This seems ...

Pros: Well worth the money! Had a blast with younger aged kids, parents, and grandparents!
Cons: Could've used 2 days to get through everything because it was so much fun!

We took a family day trip to Michigan Adventure the first weekend in Aug. 2009.  We had 5 boys (ages 7,7,6,5,&3), 4 middle-aged adults, and 4 50-something grandparents in our group.  It was a 2 1/2 hour trip up North, but soooo worth ...
