Michigan’s Adventure\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sprawling across 250 acres in Muskegon, Michigan’s Adventure is a great place to go a little wild. This area is divided into two sections: the amusement park and the waterpark. The amusement park has more than 50 rides for kids and adults alike, including classic wooden coasters that twist through the trees and kiddie rides like mini-roller coasters, bumper cars, and merry-go-rounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Almost all rides are wheelchair accessible. A standard elevator is also available for self-service at the Corkscrew roller coaster that can be used to transport guests from their wheelchairs to the ride. Since wheelchairs are not permitted on the rides, guests must leave them at the designated area before proceeding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can take a dip in the wave pool at the waterpark, play some games at the arcade, or enjoy a lazy river ride. There\u2019s a pool lift available at the lazy river to make getting in easy and they also have water wheelchairs available for use. The park also offers electric convenience vehicles (ECVs) for rent so that you can access all park areas without ease.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michigan’s Adventure also has great restaurants and gift shops for you to explore while you’re there. From pizza and burgers to ice cream, you\u2019re sure to find something that will satisfy your hunger. Plus, all restaurants, gift shops, games, arcades, and restrooms are <\/span>ADA-compliant<\/span><\/a>, so you can be sure that your visit will be safe and enjoyable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Air Zoo \u2014 Kalamazoo<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you want to learn more about aviation history and its impact on today’s world, Air Zoo has you covered. While more of a museum than an amusement park, Air Zoo does feature a wide variety of flight-themed rides, including a Ferris wheel and simulators that’ll have you feeling like an astronaut. The museum also features an airplane exhibit with over 20 aircraft, including the Lockheed F117 and Heath Baby Bullet 1936. The flight simulator ride is another attraction at Air Zoo that allows visitors to experience what it’s like inside a cockpit and a variety of shows are also scheduled to help you learn more about aviation history.<\/span><\/p>\n

This museum also has accessible parking spaces, accessible entrances, restrooms, and an accessible route to each of the park’s attractions. It\u2019s worth mentioning that since Mission Theater has limited space, the museum provides a small number of accessible seats on its ground level. So if you plan on catching a show, you should arrive early to get an accessible seat.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”9926″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”9927″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1677138421384{background-color: #ddd8c3 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space]
