My experience was very different from the other reviews as we had The Murder Mystery Company come…read moreto our location in Kalamazoo for a surprise party for our mom's 75th birthday. We selected the 1920s "Death of a Gangster" theme with 2 actors for our group of 37 people. Emma and Daniel, the actress and actor for our event, were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They arrived an hour before our guests and were in costume and engaged, in character, with the guests (all family and friends of our mom) as they arrived. Everyone (except our mom of course) were told ahead of time that it was an interactive murder mystery event. I think it is a must for people to know that ahead of time so they can be prepared. Everyone loved it; from those with outgoing personalities to those who are more reserved. The way Emma and Daniel were able to keep things going even when we read wrong lines, etc. is a credit to what made the event so much fun. Most of our group were older adults with the youngest being 11, 13 and 18 but they had a great time as well. It was fun to see everyone's excitement during the times we were to get up and ask questions to try and gather information. It was the first murder mystery event for all except 2 in our group. I loved how they handed out certificates at the end as that added to the experience. I definitely recommend this company, and Emma and Daniel, to anyone looking for a great murder mystery event.

Nate and I were gifted tickets to this year's opening day and we had a blast. I remember going to games as a kid too, so it's fun to see that it's still a popular places for all ages. The ballpark is pretty small compared to places like Comerica Park, but it's clean, there are plenty of options for food, and tickets are cheap. The main headache is getting into the parking lot from US131 - a huge, slow-moving line forms onto the highway right around game time. Once you finally get in, the parking attendants are great. There is a fee to park and the whole place is cashless, so they do take credit cards for the parking fee. As someone who rarely has cash, this is really convenient. Tickets range from $10 for the lawn area up to $18 for premium box seats, or you can get a table spot with four seats for $35. I've usually gotten lawn tickets in the past - it's a nice area and you can bring in chairs and blankets. The gift shop is quite large and really nicely maintained, with lots of great items including several shirts, hats, etc. with the Whitecaps' honorary mascots the Dam Breakers and Bungholes and some others. Prices are decent and there's something for everyone in the gift shop. I may have to get a Whitecaps shirt to wear to games! LMCU does fun theme nights and discounts for Whitecaps games, including princess day, Star Wars day, senior discounts, etc. I love the fun activities and games they do between innings and it's fun to try to get on the big screen doing your best air guitar. I'm looking forward to checking out another Whitecaps game at LMCU this summer. They also host meetings, company picnics and events, weddings, concerts, trade shows, etc.

It has been years since we came to a game as a family and not part of a large group in the Pepsi…read moreStadium Suite. We came on a Tuesday night, and it happened to be a night they were passing out bobbleheads to the first 1,000 people - our kids thought they were the coolest! There was a line of people waiting to get in at gate opening (5:15pm) but it moved quickly. Once inside we found our seats and we grabbed some food from one of the main concessions stands. They have a fairly big menu, so not just hot dogs. We got a corn dog, three hot dogs, a large fries and two sodas and it came to 61.80 with tip. The food was your standard stadium food - no complaints. We did also get two popcorns, a large cotton candy, and two bottles of water for 41.93 with tax. Here are my main reason for 5 stars: CUSTOMER SERVICE & HOSPITALITY. I was literally so impressed! When we got to our seats with our food, our 5-year-old knocked over our full (not even a sip out of it yet) soda. An employee, no idea his job title, saw what happened and asked us what it was so he could replace it for us, and he did. Totally unexpected and very much appreciated! Also, when my kiddos were standing near where the players were practicing before the game, there was a group of older kids and adults huddled around trying to get autographs. My kids were a little intimidated, so they stayed to the side. Another WC employee noticed this and was able to get a ball and toss it over to my boys. They were elated! A small act that made a huge impact. They were so excited. Our seats happened to be the first row to the left of the WC dug out (awesome seats!) and during the game a player stuck his head around the corner and saw my kids and tossed them another ball. They were on cloud nine! The whole experience at the game was impressive. Lots of fun things to keep us and the kids entertained during lulls in the game. Playground and inflatables for the kids, we took advantage before the game started. Lots of food options, although, we didn't get a chance to try out any of the other options. Lots of local beer options, too! Overall, just a fun night that my kids won't soon forget. We are looking forward to another family outing!

We love visiting the smaller baseball stadiums, especially in Michigan. The LCMU is definitely on…read moreour list of best ballparks in that category. First, easy to order our tickets and parking pass online, especially since I have the MLB app on my phone, that was a bit of luck. We even got a small discount, $22 instead of $24.50, per ticket (we sat in the section right behind home plate). And no surcharge!!! The ballpark is cashless, so be prepared to use your phone or plastic for everything. I am currently experiencing issues with my knees, so what a nice surprise to see they have a place to drop off the mobility challenged very close to the elevator side entrance. Otherwise, lots of steps or a very long ramp are the other options. There was also special parking for us, not handicapped, I don't have a sticker, so that was a huge plus. The ballpark is beautifully designed, with thick cushioned seats! What a lovely surprise. I usually travel with a portable cushion or a thick blanket I can fold up to use as a cushion. Very comfy seats. The concessions offered some unique items, like a Dubai chocolate and strawberry sundae, which was yummy, though a bit pricey at $12.50, but you get that cute thick plastic baseball cap bowl (which we threw away, so I do wish they had a paper option). Burgers, dogs, soft pretzels, corndogs, and fries, are some of the regular fare we see at most of these parks though. Boozy smoothies were also a unique item, though we didn't try one this time. Offered sans booze as well. Also, they have a roving concessions person with the basics, like cotton candy, peanuts, popcorn, bottled water, beer and other na beverages. So while the sundae was excellent, my foot long corndog was lukewarm. But hubby loved his soft pretzel. So a mix of feelings about the food we had. Microbrewery beer was very good though. So while I loved almost everything about this park, there was one big negative. The scoreboard. They have a big fancy digital board that displays each players' stats, which we love, but they use an old school scoreboard to display the score, balls, strikes and outs. No biggie normally, but the lights indicating the balls, strikes and outs, were not working! Someone manually changed the runs, but that was it. If you turned away for anything, you missed where things stood. I had to pull up the game on my phone to be able to tell where things stood, it was annoying. Still, if that doesn't bother you, ha-ha, you can disregard this part of my review. Also, no pitch speed display, something we like to see. Friendly staffers everywhere, another huge plus. It's really a great stadium, except for the food inconsistency (but it is ballpark food, so my expectations were on the low end anyway), and the scoreboard issues. Great for families and the mobility impaired. Fireworks after Saturday night games too, so cool. Worth the two hour drive, easily, in my opinion.

We went to the paint your pet session that I believe they do once a month. We submitted pictures of our pet to them after booking (about 3-4 weeks in advance) and they provided us with a general outlined sketch that we could follow for our painting. Thank god they did this because I do not consider myself creative and this made the whole thing easier and less stressful. Typically these classes provide a step by step instruction led by a teacher/instructor but since these were all individualized pet paintings, they could not really do that. The teacher was great anyways and super friendly. She offered tips on colors and how to get certain textures or features. They were always available for questions and were walking around the room most of the time to help out. I was really happy with how my painting turned out. I felt like it really looked like my pup!! They are in a great location off of Ionia with many parking garages surrounding or you may get lucky and find some street parking. They also have a bar available with many drink options that you can pay for. I look forward to taking another class here in the future!
