This little gem of a planetarium is set right in the middle of the charming town of Bay City. The planetarium has excellent programs introduced by a very good moderator named Mike. The audience when we attended was composed of families with children ages two through teenaged, and all seemed entertained. The seats were comfortable and the place was immaculately clean. The entrance fees are quite low ($6 for adults, $5 for children and seniors), and the gift shop sells reasonably priced educational toys and books. Highly recommend!

Living in the old town area for a few months I ran here almost every evening. People also fish, skateboard and roller skate here. It has great sunsets in the evening with plenty of dining and bar options near the old downtown area.

This is a well-conceived library complex; offering a nice resource to the local community, and visitors. The building is architecturally interesting, and well maintained. The staff are friendly, informative and accommodating. The children's section has an ark and stuffed animals; providing an inviting and comfortable ambiance. There are a number of computer terminals for public use (which was very helpful for me one day). Overall, a solid option for those needing, and/or simply enjoying, a libraries offerings.

This is a very pretty and relaxing park to just wander through or sit down and take in the beauty of the park and the river. Ths is just steps away from the Doubletree by Hilton hotel. Be sure to make this a stop when visiting Bay City, Michigan.

Visit the Saginaw Valley Naval Ship Museum, home the the USS Edson DD-946. This Vietnam Era, Forest Sherman Class destroyer is one of two left in the United States. Guests are invited to step back in history on a self-guided tour of the Grey Ghost of the Vietnam Coast and see what life was like for the men who served aboard her. Approximately 90% of the ship is open to the public. If you are lucky, you'll meet one of our many volunteers who served aboard the USS Edson or a similar ship. Guests are asked to wear close-toed comfortable shoes since you will be climbing up and down ladders. Due to the amount of time it takes to tour the ship, no guests will be admitted one hour prior to closing. Please check our website for the latest information on our hours. There may be times when our times change due to private events or restoration needs.
Bill gave us a great tour of the ship with lots of great information and stories. The grown ups enjoyed it throughly. It was a lot of walking for our 4 kids and a little warm for them but they did good and enjoyed seeing different parts of the ship and ringing the ships loud bell. It was a great place to visit Father's Day weekend.
