If you enjoy architecture & design of Frank Lloyd Wright: Alden B Dow was one of his students & it shows. A cool room of the studio is the archive room which his wife organized after his death & contains pristinely maintained original blueprints & models. Mid Century modern interior design gives me butterflies! Highlights for me is everthing... especially the theater room! The outdoor landscape design is the only place you can take photos. The gift shop has lots of great treasures. Small group sizes: people per tour gives ample opportunity to feel intimate with exploring, asking questions.

I was not able to get a photograph of the bridge as as super aggressive driver showed up and nearly caused an accident. The bridge opened to traffic in 1987 and has been plagued with problems. Some related to poor construction, some due to unexpected weather and some due to circumstances beyond anyone's control. Its construction ran massively over budget and was extremely delayed. The bridge carries four lanes in each direction with breakdown lanes on both sides. As it's an interstate, there is no pedestrian or bicycle lane. There is no toll to cross the bridge.

It is located 5 miles north of Saginaw, Michigan when traveling on south and/or northbound I-75. I remember as a teenager when traveling up north with my parents to our cottage on a lake near Lewiston... either in the Spring, Summer and Fall months, there were times we had to wait in line with other vehicles for the drawbridge to open up to let freighters pass under and then after the bridge would close so traffic could move on their way. Usually our wait time could be up to 15 minutes or less depending on the time of day and the "flow" of traffic on the river! :) Such a great memory before the remodeling of this bridge. Currently, a vehicle keeps on cruising up and over the bridge driving 75 m.p.h. on 75 with cool views out your passenger window on the right of the Saginaw River. Facts: Construction started: 1979 Height: 125 feet Clearance Below: 120 feet Total Length: 8,000 Longest Span: 392 feet It opened: December 23, 1987 ( In time for Christmas) Construction End: September 19, 1988 At times during the day or early morning hours one can see fisherman on the shores fishing for carp, crappie, largemouth bass, northern pike, smallmouth bass, walleye, perch and sunfish.

The Shay Locomotive was designed to help loggers haul logs year round. This idea was envisioned by Ephriam Shay, who was one of the people to design temporary tracks to help transport materials short distances in the Cadillac area. The train itself is very impressive and big. You can't do much with it except for look at it, though. My children would have been more impressed with the Shay Locomotive if they were able to climb on it and explore it, but alas. The Shay Locomotive is located in City Park.

Outside there were 2 food vendors plus a popcorn vendor. There was a gift store with lots of knick knacks, plus a sloth experience. Outside there is a play area. Then you get to the main attraction. There's a fenced in area with everything from baby reindeer to adult reindeer and a couple of llamas thrown in. They sell reindeer feed in small cups for a dollar. You hold it in your open hand and they'll eat it out of your hand and you can pet them at the same time. In another fenced area is the Highland cows, which you can't touch or feed. There was also a couple of Guinea fowl, an odd, but cool looking bird. There are also a couple of photo op areas. All of the animals were great to see and some are animals you don't see much of. I did do the Sloth experience ($33) for a 5 minute visit with up to 4 people. There are 2 sloths a male and a female. The keeper will tell you all about them and let you pet them, very cool. They were very neat to see up close and to be able to pet. In some ways they are cat-like. Their claws are impressive. Definitely worth the cost of admission. There is also a train you can ride for $10 a person. Also the general admission is $20 for adults. The service was very friendly and helpful. The person doing the sloth visit really seems to care for them and enjoy her job. Overall a 5 star review. Definitely worth a visit as a one and done. If you have small kids they might enjoy it yearly. Would I return? If someone else wanted to go then yes. Otherwise it's been there done that. Highly recommend for the 1 and done though. Didn't try any of the food, so no opinion on that.
