The Oden State Fish Hatchery

Reviewed By MaribethB24 - Allendale, United States

The day we visited, the Visitor Center wasn't open, but we enjoyed the river cut out and the ponds. We were disappointed that we couldn't feed the fish, as friends had told us how much they enjoyed that. Still a very worthwhile stop!

Harbor Springs Lyric Theatre

The Lyric Theatre is a non-profit organization offering first run, foreign, classic & family favorites movies on Main Street in Harbor Springs, MI. Our three unique theaters each have their own theme & state of the art equipment.

Reviewed By 2UfromMI - Harbor Springs, United States

Love the small theater rooms with their local mural paintings on the walls! The large theater seats 200 and has stars, the milky way, and even occasional shooting stars that flash by. The gourmet organic, non gmo popcorn is made with fresh butter and the old time candies, and baked goods, that they sell here are a treat! We especially love that they sell beer, Wine, hard ciders, and white claw drinks. Come early if it is a weekend or holiday since many shows sell out quickly during prime time showings, and summertime high season. The are special matinees for free or $2 that are geared toward kids, special groups or seniors as a community service. Their volunteer staff is very nice too. The only downside here is that it is very expensive if you buys tickets, alcohol drinks, Popcorn and candy. But go ahead and go all out occasionally, especially a couples night out, since is a great cause, and a nice evenings entertainment. Movie selections are both current, and unusual, so we always find something interesting to see. Well worth the trip.

Resort Pike Cidery and Winery

Reviewed By ffoley1048 - North Carolina Coast, United States

The four of us had a pleasant afternoon outside sampling our cider flights. It wasn't busy so we could take our time studying the board and carefully choosing our pours. My favorite was the Apple Blueberry. It was a perfect outing for a fall day. Next time, I will bring some snacks to share.

Pond Hill Farm

Enjoy our new large outdoor Biergarten for food, beer, wine and hard cider! Wander the farm with a beer and take in our 200 acres of nature. The kids will love the gnome house hunt through the woods, the pumpkin patch in the fall and the playground and farm animals are a must as well!!

Love feeding the bass out in the pond. Slinging giant squash using a giant sling shot. The animals are fun for the kids. Great place to bring the sleds for the kids and the parents can sit inside tasting some divine beverages.

Stop by soon and if you leave without taking home some of our world famous pot pies, you've done something wrong! Thanks so much for visiting and we hope to see you very soon here in beautiful Downtown Good Hart!

We were fortunate to get the last chicken pot pie. It was delicious. A very unique snack from a unique general store in the middle of the Tunbel of Trees. Lots of interesting fare to buy. Try a lemon bar! They are the the right sweet and lemony. We were there during leaf peeping so the store was crowded. We were glad we braved the crowds

Maple Moon Sugarbush and Winery

Located on 80 beautiful acres in Petoskey, Michigan, Maple Moon Sugarbush and Winery offers a little slice of heaven for its visitors. Maple Moon is a wonderful addition to the Petoskey area. Family owned, the maple trees and facility are open for tours and the Peterson's are delightful and welcoming. They sell their products at an on-location store, which includes their own super premium maple ice cream (which is world class) with their own 100% pure maple syrup. They have numerous grades of syrup, all made on the premises, as well as jam, salsa, home-made maple granola and other specialties. Their latest addition is nothing shy of amazing. They have become America's First and ONLY maple winery, with nine 2015 vintages available. It doesn't get any better than this. The Peterson's do it all themselves, and it is a family labor of love. It's wonderful that they have settled in Petoskey, so we can all fall in love with Maple Moon. Tour the sugary and sample delectable treats such as maple syrup, maple candy, maple ice cream, maple root beer and maple wine.
