1. Michigan Escape Games
Overall Ratings
5 based on 121 reviews
An Escape Game is a real-life adventure game designed for small groups of 2-7 people. Your goal is simple: work together as a team, testing your wits and skills, to escape from a locked room in under 60 minutes. While the goal is simple, the game is challenging. Getting through the locked door will require finding clues, solving puzzles, and working together as a team or else you may not escape in time. A Great idea for a family outing, coworker challenge or a unique dating experience.

Our group has been here many times. We have escaped some rooms, while others not so lucky. Our most recent attempt was 'The Dwelling'. This is by far one of their hardest, most well thought out rooms we have been in. I have to give them kudos for their close attention to detail and the unique themes.
There is no repetition here each room stands on its own, with many puzzles to be mastered. They do a great job explaining how the game works, so there is never any doubt. I can't wait to return!

Very disappointing. Was working a deal with a vendor put an item on hold for one day. Left my name and number on the tag. They did hold the item for 24 hrs. I called the vendor letting him know I would 2 days after. I showed up and the item was "just sold" on the day I showed up.
Now is am reasonable and understand the hold policy. What I don't understand is why they did not call me and offer me the courtesy to come in right then and make the purchase. I am all for selling your product but when you take my name and number down and don't even think to give me a call first before you sell it from out underneath me is just plain bad business.
I take responsibility for not being available with my busy work schedule. However a simple phone call would've been nice.

I love the FIA. The shows are always different and interesting. The shows offer new and mind-expanding works. Even the permanent collection offers something for everyone. I find something new to look at every time I go to the FIA.
4. Davison Farmers Market

Reviewed By John M
This market has a small town feel to it for sure. Everyone is really friendly and they are willing to answer any questions you have about the products they have. They have everything you could need from a local grocery as well. You MUST get a sample of meet from Knob Hill Meats as well as some FANTASTIC cheese from Hill's Cheese. The Chatterbox Cafe' inside has pretty solid food for a family outing, in particular their sandwiches are delightful. Overall, if you have a spare moment, this is a great Farmer's Market.
5. Crossroads Village & Huckleberry Railroad

Reviewed By jimgreiner - Fenton, Michigan
Many people don't think about Flint as a hotbed for cultural activities -- but all you have to do is spend some time and check the reviews for things to do in the area. And this one jumps out. It is hard to believe that an attraction as fabulous as this one isn't in Orlando, or Anaheim, or some place known for fabulous attractions. The railroad reminds me of the Disneyland rail ride but outfitted specially for Christmas with terrific light displays that absolutely shine in the night darkness. We took the 7:30 pm ride and it was remarkable. The "12 Days of Christmas" displays at the east end of the 45 minute ride were especially outstanding. Our grandchildren were glued to the windows and it was reasonably warm in the glorious wooden train cars, in spite of the cold outdoors.
Of course, none of the typical warm-weather attraction sites could have accommodated something like this in the winter. So be it. Even oldsters will enjoy it. And the village is a good attraction as well. We witnessed a very fun Christmas play in the theatre. We could have spent a lot more time there as well. We bought our tickets in August so plan ahead!
6. Davison Area Dog Park

We visit this park because it is close to the house, however, the main area needs to be closed off for a while to let the grass regenerate, like they do at the Orion Oaks Dog Park in Lake Orion. Some areas of the park get quite muddy.
On the up side, the park supplies bottled water for the dogs in the winter because they shut off the water spigots to avoid freezing pipes, so that is a nice feature.

This newly build market is not only filled with fruits, vegetables and unique things, it’s also filled with great people and shops. If you visit almost any weekend there will be some kind of extra events. Maybe you’ll even see Santa and a couple handful of tubas playing Christmas songs.

Reviewed By Cynthia W - Freeland, Michigan
Open 8 am until sunset. The little visitor center has set hrs. Paved parking with picnic tables around. Many bird houses are located on the property enticing blue birds and swallows to nest. The visitor center is geared for small children with touchy feely items. Nicely done.Flush toilets in the visitor center, , Not sure if there were outdoor johns for when visitor center is closed. Many trails nicely marked for easy directions. The propery has a creek runny through it and many low areas are flooded and wet when it has rained a lot in the spring, but that doesn't seem to stop joggers or walkers. . They could get some wood chips down in the wet areas, , they were quite rutted because people walk through it anyway. I was thrilled to see so many families out taking a walk in nature. . . . remember to bring your own food and water. I will be back. Enjoy.
