The Chippewa Nature Center is a wonderful resource for people in the area and a fun attraction for visiting nature lovers. The Center includes acres of natural land to explore on your own, but they also host events (check their website!) if that's more your style. If you live nearby, I highly recommend their programs and summer camps for children. Your kids will have a blast and learn a lot about the natural world and Chippewa culture. If you're planning a visit, check out Maple Syrup Day (usually in February or March), where you can help craft maple syrup and enjoy the fruits of your labor with a delicious pancake lunch!

Centrally located in downtown Midland, beautiful Dow Diamond is easily accessible from Business US 10. The state-of-the-art facility is home to the Great Lakes Loons, Class A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Loons played their inaugural game at Dow Diamond on April 13, 2007. Over 324,000 fans flocked to Dow Diamond that first season, and over 2 million total since. Dow Diamond has established itself as one of the premier minor league stadiums in the country, earning several awards in the process.

Every time I am at Dow Diamond for a Great Lakes Loons game, it is always an awesome experience. They have a great atmosphere and keep even those who don’t like baseball games entertained. Whenever in the area, make sure to grab some tickets, some ballpark food, and get ready to jam out to their awesome music and make sure to catch a game that ends in fireworks!

This is a wonderful adventure particularly for young children. Gorgeous interactive water feature. Send rubber duckies down the river, climb giant rocks, swing, walk through the forest, or climb on the rope bridge in the tree tops. They also have nice seating for parents, coffee and pastries.

5. Midland Brewing Company

Back in 1933, Michigan became the first state to ratify the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, repealing Prohibition. We don't know about you, but we're really proud of that fact. After the Amendment was adopted, dozens of breweries sprung up across the state, including the original Midland Brewing Company, which opened in 1935 inside an old creamery downtown. Midland Brewing developed some signature beers like Red Keg Ale, named after the first lumber camp and saloon in Midland County. Unfortunately during the Great Depression times were tough and competition was fierce. Even with its excellent beer, the brewery lasted only a few years. Midland Brewing Company was reborn in 2010, and our small posse of entrepreneurs are connecting our passion for brewing quality Michigan craft beer to Midland's early history - especially its first 100 years, defined by the lumber, railroad and beer industries. We reopened Midland Brewing company not far from Averill, Michigan, where the Red Keg Lumber Camp sat by the Tittabawassee River. Since then, we've worked to carry on the legacy of the original Midland Brewing Company while also innovating our own signature brews and developing new beerventures all of the time.

It was crowded by 5:30 on this Saturday evening, so we bellied up to the bar until we could be seated for dining with the rest of our group. Craft beers were cold, varied and tasty. Our waitress was friendly and efficient even in working with our larger group. Do try the shareable pretzel bread as an appetizer! It’s large, served warm and not too salty. I really liked the Chicken Schnitzel served with mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli and a bit of sauerkraut as well. It was served hot and crispy on the outside with a tender interior. Whether you stop in for a beer or to dine, they aim to please here at the Midland Brewing Company. Recommendations high!
