They have every sort of store option at this huge mall - Nordstrom's, Macy's, and a whole lot more. There was not one thing that we could not find to buy, buy, buy.

Nice area to walk during winter snow. Very calm place. Walkways well prepared by park staff. You can easily spend more than 2 hours. Would like to try Langlauf as I saw many people enjoying it. During summer also very nice escape for walking or running.
3. The Adventure Park at West Bloomfield
Overall Ratings
5 based on 217 reviews
Appealing to outdoor fun-seekers age 5 through adult, the Adventure Park features multiple zip lines and aerial ropes challenge courses for hours of "fun in the trees." Suitable challenges for kids, teens and adults. The Adventure Park consists of ten different "ropes courses" through the trees, of varying challenge levels, from introductory to advanced. The self-guided courses do not require previous climbing experience. After receiving a safety briefing and harness, each climber selects a course at their comfort level and then proceeds to navigate its different "bridges" or "elements" moving from tree platform to tree platform. The courses include zip lines as well. Climbers proceed at their own pace and each course requires anywhere from approximately 15 - 30 minutes to complete. Upon completion of one course the visitor may again ascend the starting platform and select another course. Generally, a climbing ticket entitles the visitor to unlimited climbs during a three-hour period. Park staff members are continually on-site and available for assistance or questions. All climbers wear safety harnesses that employ "double-clipped-on" technology to help keep the climber continuously connected to a safety cable throughout their time in the trees. The courses are designed for ages five and older, with appropriate challenges suited for kids, teens and adults. (Five- and six-year-olds are permitted to climb on our Purple courses only and are each required to have an adult climbing with them. One adult per child.)

The haunted forest was amazing. Only one small fright for my preschoolers. The entire family enjoyed the Halloween theater experience. The actors were great, Short skits at each stop kept the little ones engaged and the participation requirement to get a token was so much fun. The goodie bag at the end was surprisingly decent. We will return for this event. My girls have been practicing their "best scarecrow pose" for next year.

This is a great setting to enjoy a nice cup of coffee or walk around and looking at the happenings around it. Fall time si best when the trees change colors.
5. Holocaust Memorial Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 149 reviews
The Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus opened in 1984. Local Holocaust survivors, with community support, founded the museum to teach about the senseless murder of millions, and why everyone must respect and stand up for the rights of others if the world is to prevent future discrimination, hate crime and genocide. As Michigan’s only Holocaust museum, the Holocaust Memorial Center annually touches the lives of more than 85,000 individuals, who leave the museum profoundly affected with a newly acquired sense of history, social responsibility and morality. The Holocaust Memorial Center’s exhibits create a call to action, teaching visitors through the examples of those who risked their lives to save others, and asking its guests to react to contemporary challenges such as racism, intolerance, bullying and prejudice.

We really enjoyed the guided tour of this somber memorial. The knowledgeable guide filled our heads with 90 minutes of very interesting history as he led us through the exhibits. I feel like we could go back for another couple of hours to see the displays in more detail.
We've been to several concentration camps in Germany and Poland. While this memorial is not as ominous as the actual sites, it does an excellent job of contextualizing the crimes perpetrated by the Nazis.
Really a fascinating place to visit.

Sometimes when you visit a place from your childhood, it disappoints--but not this time! The cider at Parmenter's is absolutely the best, and their fried cakes are better than that--just as they were many years ago! It is a nice place to take kids to play outside, buy a pumpkin and some apples, and sample the best cider anywhere. There is an adjacent winery.

Great Splash platform! Lots of choices for the timid and the brave, roomy enough on a hot afternoon. My only complaint was that children arrived with lo g pointy water guns...a hazard to themselves and others. There is no one supervising the site for such things, and posted rules did not prohibit them.

The reclining seats are so comfortable. Purchase tickets together because you must pick a seat number. We also bought kids popcorn & soda and saved a ton of money. Will not go to any other theater now... love all the changes!
