5 stars all around! Super thankful to live close to this place because it's awesome! My first time…read morein I squealed with excitement like a lil kid because the aquatic center is basically a mini version of a Great Wolf Lodge! Water slide, lazy river, splash zone, huge hot tub, steam room, and lap pool! I definitely was bummed when it was time to leave, but we fixed the sadness by getting a membership! The gym side of things is also top quality. There are weight machines, free weights, cardio machines, and indoor track, basketball court and more! The workout possibilities are endless and the staff is awesome! Very (and I mean VERY) affordable to get a membership here!

I purchased several day passes (granted it was years ago) so that I could work out at this facility…read morefrom time to time. I asked when these were purchased if there was an expiration date and was told there wasn't. There is no expiration date written on the passes either. I still have most of these passes in my possession. I went to use one last week and I was denied entry. The explanation that was provided to me was 1. We stopped accepting these over a year ago 2. We sent emails out to let people know a long time ago that we wouldn't be accepting them any longer (I'm not on their email list) 3. We can't tell if people are photocopying and faking these passes or not. (Wow, I feel like I'm being accused of forging $5 passes so I can sneak into the gym?, really?). What bothers me far more than the lost $100 or so in passes is the lack of empathy and understanding. The only reason I went to the gym last week was with a relative who is older (and a member) so I could help set them up with a workout routine in light of a recent medical diagnosis. They wouldn't even let me enter just this once without paying for a $10 day pass. I guess I'm sorry I didn't use these passes sooner? But no empathy and flexibility from the staff at Spring Lake Aquatic Center earns a thumbs down from me. I've spent almost my entire life (since I was two years old) living in and supporting the local tri-cities. Doesn't feel right for a local organization to take my money and deny the service I paid for.

Recently they have installed a video system so one of the studios is visible during class. I highly recommend this studio if you're interested in having your child influenced by older dancers too. There is a very friendly and mentoring atmosphere here that has been inspiring to my eldest. My only tiff is there isn't a drinking fountain and no adult classes. Otherwise the staff is awesome, the owner is so passionate, and the price is very reasonable!

In the beginning of our experience, little tykes had competitive pricing, pretty decent care, and…read moreour kids did pretty well here. We enjoyed the pictures on the brightwheel app, the sign in system is pretty convenient. As time went on, after they opened the new branch, a lot of the teachers that our kids were used to being with got moved around. It pretty much was a tossup which room they were going to be in for the day, and who they were going to be with. Our kids did not do well with this. We began to see price increases for things like the new sick time law, being charged for different food, costs of things here and there that the business didn't want to eat. Okay. The food that our kids got on a day to day basis. Breakfast pretty much every day is almost always cereal with raisins. Lunch would be things like bologna, ham and cheese, hot dogs with cooked carrots, mac and cheese. The amount of increase we saw did not reflect the type of foods our kids were getting, and it felt like they were really trying to squeeze their kids for as much as they could. We have seen the owner here maybe 2 times in the 2 years we have been here. Okay. Here are my biggest gripes. We have been sent home so many times because our kids were "too weepy" and they didn't want to deal with it. We have been sent home for supposed hand foot mouth disease many times where it was then confirmed by a doctor not to be hand foot mouth, and that the marks were simply scratches. They laughed at us in the urgent care for even insinuating the idea that it was hand foot mouth, but in order to come back to the center we had to have paperwork saying they aren't sick. The number of times things like water cups, diapers, bottle nipples, and blankets were misplaced/sent home with other people were too numerous to count, and when we ask anyone to help us find it they would tell us "go ask so and so" and when you do, theyd usually help us look but if they couldn't find it it would just be "we'll have to keep an eye out for it". We would bring our kids in the mornings, and they would be bawling their eyes out trying to keep us from leaving them (pretty common), and there are several employees sitting on the floor talking/on their phones who would make no effort to comfort the kids or to even keep them from trying to get through the door (pinched fingers /physical injuries can occur when they are trying to stop the door from closing) and didn't even act like they cared a tiny bit that our kids were crying. They would just sit on the floor, they wouldn't even bother to get up. Laziness! The level of care you got REALLY depended on who was in that day. The number of times we picked up our kids where their diapers were completely soaked, or loaded with poop were also too numerous to count. If we asked them to be changed we wouldn't be told no, but we shouldn't have to ask for our kids to not be poopy upon pickup. The number one most consistent thing that this place cannot get right though, is the billing. We would usually pay with checks to dodge the credit card fee. We have gone a full month multiple times where the money does not get taken out of our account, and then $1000 gets taken out of our account all at once, but the brightwheel app still says we owe money. We have had to ask soooo many times to have errors in our balance corrected, it's a wonder this place is even making any money! I don't understand how you have $1000 worth of checks just from one family sitting, not being cashed and thats okay and not disrespectful to the family paying you. There are plenty of people who live paycheck to paycheck, and if they pay you and you don't take the money out of their account, they might think they have money that they don't actually have, and now their account is going to bounce because you didn't cash their check. Overall, if your kids need consistency with teachers, you prefer up front no-nonsense billing, and you want your belongings accounted for, I would not recommend little tykes unless you are in a pinch and have nowhere else to go.

Magical Evening! This is one of Grand Haven's best kept secrets. Seven friends and I attended an…read more"Art in the Yard" outdoor dining event at Artisan. What a wonderful time. Artisan is a perfect venue for a special date night, friend's outing, or group event. Dinner is pre fixe and it features an unique nightly menu as planned by the talented Chef, Samantha Sherman. All items are farm to table & from scratch cooking. Our evening's menu included appetizer- lobster & corn salad dip, cherry chipolte salsa & homemade lime seasoned chips. We could have stopped there but the experience got even better! The main plate included marinated flank steak floating in a delicious pool of red pepper romesco sauce, warm potato salad with hot bacon dressing, summer corn in herb butter, and homemade herb rolls. I cleaned my plate! Service was impeccable, 4 servers attended to our every need, they were informative about the food & entertaining. To top off the dinner, desert was included. The desert was a piece of art in itself. Cream trifle with blueberry coulis and fresh strawberries. All food exceptional. We will be attending an event again soon. $$$

We just got back from a very enjoyable meal at the Artisan Cooking School's Dinner and a Chef…read moreevent. We were greeted by the friendly chefs Hillary and Howard who proceeded to make us a delicious three course meal. We all sat at a table built around the stove so we could watch as the food was being prepared. Chef Hillary explained how she was making things and answered questions about how we could make them at home. The food was very fresh and flavorful and beautifully presented. We started off with Lump Crab Cakes with a Rémoulade which were very creamy and tasted like fresh crab. My wife who is on a gluten free diet had an arugula salad with goat cheese, candied walnuts, prosciutto, and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing which was also very tasty. We then had a small spoonful of home made sorbet with aged balsamic vinegar as a palate cleanser. The main meal was Hickory Influenced Grilled Salmon on Creamy Roasted Garlic Grits, Grilled Peaches, Red Onions, Fire Roasted Poblano, Green Chili Gastrique, and Apple Smoked Bacon. All of the ingredients complimented each other perfectly and the sauce was the highlight that brought it all together. For dessert we had Crème Brulee with fresh raspberries which was so delicious! We were recently in France and enjoyed many great meals there, this one was up there with the best of them. We highly recommend going to Dinner and a Chef, it will surely be a fun time and a great meal which is worlds better than what you get at the typical chain restaurant.

Flirt Fitness Studio has three locations: Muskegon, Grand Rapids, and Byron Center. Although I have…read morespent time at all three studios, Muskegon is closest to me. If you're looking for an incredible experience, look no further! Flirt is one of the best pole fitness studios that I've ever been to. It's not just a business, it's a community of supportive, encouraging women. There is truly nothing else like it! Flirt offers a great variety of class types - not just pole! Liquid Motion (floorwork), Classique (exotic), Booty Camp (cardio & twerk), Flexibility, Handstands, Poise/Choreo (low-flow) are just a few examples. Signature classes (level classes) are progressive - with no pressure to move on until you are ready! Pole fitness in itself if an amazing, full-body workout. You'll be surprised at how quickly you gain strength. Most students begin with little to no upper body or core strength. The studio also offers workshops [studio and professional instructors (Jeni Janover, Phoenix Kazree, etc)] and certifications (Liquid Motion, etc). Contacting the studio is easy - phone, e-mail, social media, or stopping in during open hours! The staff is quick to respond and very friendly. I HIGHLY recommend you visit here - whether it's just for an intro class, open pole time (Pole Jam), session classes, or a workshop! You will not be disappointed!
