Family Friendly Guide to Michigan's Great Lakes Bay

Family Friendly Guide to Michigan’s Great Lakes Bay

The Great Lakes Bay region of Michigan is located on Michigan’s east coast right around where the ‘thumb’ starts to jut out. Within this area, there are six unique towns to explore – Bay City, Birch Run, Chesaning, Frankenmuth, Midland, and Saginaw. During a weekend fall getaway, my family explored three of these towns – Bay City, Midland, and Saginaw, which are all close to each other. We were blown away by the stunning architecture, natural beauty, and number of hidden gems. Learn more in this family friendly guide to Michigan’s Great Lakes Bay.

Things to do in Battle Creek

Battle Creek is one of Michigan’s most underrated places to visit. Over the past couple decades, its reputation was mired by economic stagnation. However, I embrace visiting places that might not be the newest, trendiest towns. Often, it’s the towns that don’t have the biggest hype behind them that are full of hidden gems, rich history, and great culture. And that’s especially true for Battle Creek. Over our past couple visits, we discovered many wonderful things to do in Battle Creek!

Most people know that the major multinational cereal company Kellogg’s was founded and still is headquartered in Battle Creek. But did you know that Battle Creek was once a stop along the Underground Railroad. And many people don’t know that abolitionist leader and women’s rights hero Sojourner Truth called Battle Creek her home. But besides those interesting historic facts, there are also some pretty cool sights and things to do like visit a fantasy forest or one of the best zoo’s in Michigan (in my personal opinion)!
