Things to do on the cheap in Michigan

It would be nice if someone from the Grand Rapids area told us some good spots. I know it's a hot spot in the state.

I have been to this before... amazing dancing and a fun time! Kids LOVED it

If you have kids, the Hands-On Museum in Ann Arbor is pretty cool! Lot's of stuff for kids and adults to look at and touch! I believe it's $8.00 a head, and cheaper later in the day.

you could always go to the nicer glass shops in ann arbor and look around, we have fun just walking around downtown, all sorts of different people there.

Visit Williamston it has a fabulous antiques and artist's shops.

Cook's Farm Dairy in Ortonville does everything on site. They raise the cows, they milk the cows, process the milk and make ice cream right on the dairy.

Call ahead they have tours when they aren't busy making ice cream.

MSU campus also has an excellent garden along the river behind the library. There is also a homemade ice cream outlet on farm lane. ask around, the ice cream shop doesn't have signs.

Cranbrook is my favorite spot... Booth Mansion on the hill and The Japanese Gardens.

Anyone ever hear of geocaching? you use a gps and find jars or other vessels hidden on trails throughout the country. I think there are 4000 or so in michigan. when you find it, your allowed to take something out and put something in for someone else to find. You could also just put something in I suppose.

Disc glofin as previously mentioned is great, roll a few
Doobs an throw shit around the woods for a couple hrs

Any amature mycologists out there?? Not talking about or looking for boomers here.
