Although we visit the zoo regularly, we love spending New Year's Eve at the Zoo for Zoo Lights! It is so awesome to walk the park in the dark by the glow of the millions of lights they have depicting various things, as well as the dancing lights! The 4D show, hot chocolate, specialty liquor and beer, and local food favorites are also available.

The site has gone through many incarnations, including an Old Navy Outlet store. It is currently a denizen for many local entrepreneurs to open a space to sell art, t-shirts, furniture, vintage games, scuplture, natural soaps herbs sachets, and more, historical photos, memorabilia, and more. Funky, fun, lots of great Michigan stuff.

Some of the venues will take credit cards, some are cash only

Somerset Collection

Reviewed By 00vette48306 - Rochester, Michigan

An awesome place for food, shopping, people watching & exercise. All the high end designers, anchored by big box stores Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's & Nordstrom, are here.

The food court blows all other malls out of the water. Just walking around the mall gives you miles of exercise as you window shop & people watch. If you can't find it here, you aren't trying!

BreakOut! In Warren is Michigan's first live Room Escape game. Search the room, find clues and solve puzzles as a team to escape the room!

Super fun outing with three girlfriends! We did the zombie room and while we didn't get out, we found three keys. Highly recommended for groups and families, although some questionable language in clues for those under 18. Zombie room is best with larger sized groups (8-10). Well organized, clean location, and friendly staff!

Hazel Park Raceway

Reviewed By ferryspotter - saratoga NY

Pulled our visit forward when we learned they were closing 5 weeks early. Easy access for this handicapped person and there was an excellent buffet including sausage and peppers and onions and thin-sliced roast beef and gravy. 16 ounce Budweiser and Labbatt's for $2 may have helped a good natures crowd of several thousand.
Fortunately, we were at a table with a monitor because the "toteboard" gave no information other than fractional running times during the actual races. We have previously attended Thoroughbred racing at 4 other sites in Michigan, all of which are gone now. The horsemen and fans deserve their racing and I hope Hazel Park reopens next year.

This is a great little bar serving spirits distilled on site. They don't serve food but you can order pizza from Como's around the corner and have it delivered to your seat at the bar or at a table. The drinks are good - one of the best dirty martinis around. Recommend checking it out!

This place has been a family favorite for decades. The staff is amazing; plenty of lifeguards and always on task! The water is so clear, there are so many things to do too! And there is shade and snacks when you need a break. We aren't residents but we continue to come back every summer!

Stagecrafters Baldwin Theatre

The current production of The Little Mermaid is wonderful. This theater is the perfect size for young children and the voices and costumes are engaging. Our 3 and 6 year olds loved the production. Ariel's voice was broadway quality.
