Food scene

This is the best place to eat in Muskegon. The food is great, the live music is usually pretty good, and the views are amazing. If you have to wait to get in, you can walk out the pier to the lighthouse!

Here is a nice mini-golf course and go-carts. But the real attraction here is rental kayaks and canoes. This is a great family activity as you can paddle around on the Muskegon River which is calm and easily navigated.

For your money, this is the best mini-golf deal in town. The courses aren't adventurous but are more classic putt putt. However, they're in good shape and you can play 36 holes for less money than you'll pay for 18 anywhere else.
