Last week, we visited the Wind Point Lighthouse, and we were pleasantly surprised! The grounds are so well-kept and clean. We saw beautiful flowers with a great view of Lake Michigan. There is a small beach where you can sit and relax. We saw a boat go by! The lighthouse is so tall and stately. It has been helping navigators since 1880, and is still serving today! This is a great site!

This lovely little zoo is a great place for family fun and is quite reasonably priced. Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, the site has some great views . Penguins, lions, bears, zebras, kangaroos, monkeys, antelope and giraffes are well cared for and displayed. There is a walk in aviary and a petting zoo! Plus two nice play areas and plenty on seating.You can take a train ride and even feed the giraffes? A special brunch with the animals is a real treat. I was very impressed with their Covid safety precautions. This is one of the few places you can take small children during the crisis, even if all visitors must wear masks
