Top 10 Things to do Good for Couples in Holland, Michigan (MI)
Founded by Dutch Calvinists in 1847, the city of Holland, Michigan, is an outpost of Dutch culture and tradition in the midst of the American Midwest, home to dikes, canals and even an authentic Dutch windmill. Proud of its heritage, the city purchased 100,000 tulip bulbs from the Netherlands back in 1927, and these colorful flowers still fill the city's gardens and parks with color annually, just in time for the famous Tulip Time Festival, attended by over half a million people every year.

This is a wonderful area. They have nature trails and wildlife that is well organized. It is fun to walk the trails and stop at the bird shed or animal buildings. They had a wonderful Halloween gathering. The weather did not cooperate but it was fun anyway.

We were in Holland for a soccer camp on a Monday. We wanted to get blueberries while we were out. I am not very familiar with the area so I googled blueberry farms and S. Kamphuis was closest to where we were. We arrived and it didn't look like they were open so I checked online again and realized that they didn't open for the season until later that week. As I realized that, a gentleman came to my window and I explained we didn't realize they hadn't opened yet. He said "we have blueberries, give me five minutes and we will have some for you". Sure enough, a few minutes later, they were weighing and boxing up our blueberries for us! The blueberries were delicious, the price was great, and the friendly service was amazing. We live about an hour from Holland but will go out of our way to get blueberries here again.

Great place to bring the family and the dogs. Hiking the trails to the dunes wasn’t too tiring. Beautiful view of Lake Michigan on top of the dunes. The dogs had a ball playing in the sand and one put her feet in the water. Enjoyed it so much that we visited twice during our vacation. Can’t wait to go back!

We made a side trip to Holland on our way up state since we had not been there before. Adorable town! Decided on lunch at the New Holland Brewing Co and were not disappointed. Friendly atmosphere, nice menu and outdoor dining. Cold, delicious beer and tasty food. I would recommend the Whitefish sandwich-yum! Loved our time here-we will return!

This is a wonderful park with a playground and picnic area - and when you walk through the tunnel you discover that you are right near the beach front of Lake Michigan! There are steps down to the sandy beach and you will find lots of places to set down your blanket or chair and soak in the beautiful views.
9. Mount Pisgah

Reviewed By PattiHunt - Roselle, United States
I noticed this in my AAA tour book and after tulip sight-seeing, decided to give it a go. After a short walk through some wooded area you reach a large stair and boardwalk system. Stairs are numbers by ever 25th one, if you check the lower right side of the stairs...the numbers are faint so look closely. Thankfully, there are benches placed for weary climbers to rest a spell and look out over Lake Macatawa. The view of the sand dunes and Lake Michigan is worth the climb, along with the satisfaction of succeeding.
