I found Orion Marine Pontoon Rentals online from my home in South Carolina and called and reserved pontoon boat from Riva. She was very helpful they provided a safe and fun way to spend the day on the lake with my family while visiting Michigan. They were kind and helpful and provided us a a clean new boat to enjoy for the day. I will definitely consider renting again next year.

This trail runs from north side Rochester across to Lake Orion and paralell with Orion street. Its a well paved road (sand) where running and bicyckling is easy.
When you run from Lake Orion to Rochester, walk through Rochester and connect to Clinton River Trail. This brings you west to Auburn Hills and beyond.

We had a group of 10 for the Wild West experience and I personally had an amazing time. The tasks were difficult (exactly what I was looking for), and definitely required every member of our group to solve. I had never done an escape room before so I didn't really know what would happen, but we were informed of what to expect and made to feel comfortable with the process. It was such a blast!

Our first visit here. FYI only draw string bags no back pack/book bags they will confiscate.( you do get them back) NO glow sticks, they confiscate, and you are waiting while they descide.( you don't get them back)
I love michigan and generally the people of michigan but for the most part the young people at this venue were rude and Obnoxious and a couple were totally out of hand.. I realize this is a medical marajuania state and there were alot of people needing medication there. If you get there early and are near the sidewalk for the lawn seats, be aware they ALLOW people to stand at the railing and on the sidewalk.That is where people "smoke" as told to us by personnel. So they are going to stand in your way. Which doesn't really matter because everyone stands any way.They also stand on the paved walk way, making it almost impossible to go any where, and also seems to be a fire hazard.Egressing out of there is a total nightmare.We saw 2 sets of stairs that all must go down. you should use the out side of the stair case as the inside gets backed up because some people try to walk down the hill and are blocked by a fence and trees and evidentually have to climb over the rail and egress out through the stairs, backing the people trying to come down the stairs.They need more ways to get in and out of the venue. Even though lines were long at the bathroom the lines seemed to move quickly, getting there however was a challange because of there rule that practally every thing goes, when it comes to standing.AND use the bathroom before you attempt to make it back to the parking lot and your car. The traffice lines are terribly long trying to get out,as you would expect and they will NOT let you back in to go to the bathroom and there are NO pit toilets out side the gate.We were basically told to pee in the parking lot.As I have been to other outside venues, I will choose another venue next time.

We recently held a wedding at the Buhl Estate on the Addison Oaks grounds. Everyone who helped us plan and execute the day was outstanding...helpful, knowledgable, patient, customer-service oriented. The grounds are beautiful, and the garden is an outstanding venue for a wedding. The food is outstanding, and the service is impeccable. Large and small banquet rooms are available; smaller suitable for anniversary and birthday parties, showers, etc.

8. THE OX BAR & GRILL

Reviewed By Bruce M
While only being able to frequent the Ox every three weeks on average, it's always maintained good standards, good food and good service. There are times you may have to wait for a table but that's going to be standard during rush time and days anyplace with good food. Fortunately The Ox is large enough and efficient enough to allow a steady stream of traffic so the waits are not unreasonable. It's also small enough that you have good service. I'm impressed with the service as well as pricing for what you receive. Recommend

Saw Bruno Mars here with a group of friends. The acoustics in this place are awesome, and there really doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house!
My only issue with this spot is the enormous and overwhelming traffic jam in and out of this place at the beginning and end, as it seems that they still haven't yet added additional entrances to alleviate the congestion through the main entrance way.
Otherwise, love the venue and will definitely be back.
