This is one of our FAVORITES when our kids come with our grand baby! It would be fun even without kids - it's easy to spend hours here just having some old fashioned fun and hanging out with all the animals. I love the aviary where you can buy birds on popsicle sticks and the birds will land on the stick. They also have 2 sloths!! Such a fun place!

It's a Beautiful drive back to the lighthouse that's located on one of the most beautiful Lake Michigan beaches. There is a paved area across the dune to make the walk a little easier. It's one of my favorite spots in the world. You can climb to the top of the lighthouse Tues-Sun 10 am - 5 pm for a small fee.

Beautiful beach on the shoreline of Lake Michigan about 12 minutes from the cottage. A little less crowded than the big parks. Pack light - you will need to descend a lot of steps to get down to the beach, but it is worth it, especially at sunset!
