Our first visit to Paradise Park was great! Every single person on staff was kind, friendly,…read morehelpful, and genuinely seemed to want to be there! This is uncommon these days! It was a busy day as it was a weekend and there were parties reserved, but our experience didn't lack for anything. We bought the three hour pass and had a blast go-karting, jumping, sliding, bungee-jumping, and putt-putting. We ordered chicken strips and some breadsticks for a snack and they were delicious! The balloon ride was not operating while we were there and I think the manager said they were understaffed that day. I made sure to let him know he had a quality group of folks working for him and everyone was so pleasant. We will definitely be back!

The food was ok, I think the best thing we had were the puff pastry appetizers. Inside was kind of a hit or miss, seems like every time we were at the counter there were at least 3 people standing around not doing much of anything. All in all it is a great place for kids as long as you can afford to do the things. I really had a ton of fun doing the laser tag.

One of the posts said that this is because of the amount of geese that have been frequenting the lake this year or because of runoff from rain. We went once before we knew about the e coli issues and actually had a great time. The beach (we thought) appeared clean and the water was the perfect cool temperature on a hot summer day. The swimming area went deep enough that we could float away from the littles on the shoreline. There were two life guards on duty. They have really amazing facilities where a get together was being held under the pavilion. They have a snack station, but we brought our own chips and sodas. They also have a splash pad with water slides. This area was closed when we went, and you have to pay a little more to access this area. They also have some cool trails and a frisbee golf course. You can bring dogs, but not to the designated swimming area. I hope they figure out the e coli issues because we would love to go back.

My family and I stopped at Screams Ice Cream in Hell, MI not expecting much -- but we left with…read moreunforgettable memories! This quirky little town is packed with photo ops, horseback rides, food, kayaks, weddings, and some of the funniest merchandise you'll ever see. Screams Ice Cream was the highlight of our visit. The staff was super friendly, the atmosphere was lighthearted and fun, and the store had a great selection of hilarious souvenirs. I especially appreciated the kid-friendly "HECK" merchandise -- it was such a clever touch! Plan to spend at least an hour here, especially if you're grabbing a bite to eat or exploring the rest of what Hell has to offer.

Surprisingly nice mini golf course. The holes are pretty updated, some challenging in ways we'd…read morenever experienced. It's nice how shaded it is compared to most putt putt courses. The grounds next to the course could use some maintenance, the old play scape from the event center is scrapped back there leaving kids wondering if they can play. There should be bathrooms at the clubhouse accessible to golfers; they could also do with the clubs and balls being available at the grounds on the weekend vs at the shop.

Amy and Kathy are great! Their prices are very, very reasonable and they will work with you on special requests. The kids had lots to play on and in and all the parents raved about the place. I've already decided we'll go back for next year's party.

Me and my kids enjoyed this waterpark. Very clean and polite. Something for all ages.read more

The day we came their internet was down so if you didn't have cash or buy tickets in advance you couldn't get in. The park was clean and well maintained and there's a ton of attractions to explore. Totally affordable and very local. I can't wait to take my little guy back here again. Grab a cabana!

We have our fair share of splash pads in Chicago, but this wins! I took my 9 and 6 year old boys…read morehere to meet a friend this past weekend and they absolutely loved it! The friend we were meeting is a local so she was able to get a reservation for the 11am-1pm time slot, which is apparently reserved for locals. It wasn't too crowded and was the perfect activity for a very hot summer day. My 6 year old was a bit fearful of the giant bucket of water that pours on your head at first, although by the end of the 2 hours he was standing under it welcoming it. My 9 year old and his friend jumped right in and couldn't get enough of all the slides and water fun. They were probably some of the older kids there, but still young enough to enjoy the fun. There's also a more babyish area to the side for younger kids who aren't into the slides and giant bucket. They also get 5 stars for cleanliness, including the bathrooms and changing rooms. I had to show out my coffee when we arrived since no food or drink is allowed inside the gate, but that's probably how they manage to keep it so clean. My sons are asking when we can go to Michigan just to go to this again so I can imagine if we were locals we would be there quite a bit.

We got here on Sunday and had three cars with stuff knowing we could only have two at the campsite…read more They made it a big deal to have third car drop off items so my daughter had to give them her phone as a deposit to make sure she came backed and parked her car in the visors lot. Then the pool had the deep end blocked off saying it was to green and you can't see the bottom however the shallow end which is the same pool was okay. They just didn't have a second lifeguard and instead thought it better to lie. The lake that everyone goes to had been shut down do to how amazingly gross it was with e-coli. So no pool and no lake in 90 plus weather. Mon-Wed the pool was open but still no lake and then the wildfire smoke came in and they shut everything down on Thursday which is s somewhat understandable but I don't have health issues and I once had nothing to do. Now we are on Friday and air is fine and sunny and once nothing is open so no pool, no lake,no putt putt and no paddle boats due to not having staff. Absolutely unacceptable when they the are charging us $800 for the week to just stay at our tents or go spend a butt load of money on food and other things to do in the local towns. My girlfriends family has been coming here for decades and they may have just lost us forever coming back.
