Spring Showers bring… 10 Ideas of Spring Fun in the Brighton Howell Area

Spring in Michigan can be a mixed bag. One minute you’re planning a picnic, and the next, you’re watching a downpour from your window. That was exactly our experience last weekend! What was supposed to be a sunny outdoor adventure turned into a quest for indoor spring fun in the Brighton Howell Area. But you know what? It was the best kind of unexpected detour. We found some absolute gems that made our rainy weekend unforgettable, and now I’m here to share them with you.

Spring Getaway to Mackinac Island

I’ve always been a little hesitant about traveling to Mackinac Island. As someone who writes about hidden gems within Michigan, what is “hidden” about Michigan’s number one tourist destination? Everyone in Michigan knows about it. Most people in the Midwest know about it. And it gets a lot of national recognition as well. So why bother?

Well, when I finally let my guard down about it, I discovered there’s a lot of history on Mackinac Island. And there’s a lot of unique places to visit that aren’t as well known!

So much so, that unless you live on Mackinac Island or visit every year, it’s hard to fully experience everything on Mackinac Island within one visit. Plus, there are certain times of the year where the island is less busy – like at the end of the season in fall or early in the season – such as our spring getaway to Mackinac Island!
