Somehow, I don't think Dante had this in mind when he was penning the journey through the inferno. Yes. There is a town called Hell, Michigan, named thusly in 1841 (or so the signage tells me), and it is small. Very small. Census tells me it has 266 residents only and the "downtown" consists of 3 buildings: a souvenir/gift shop, Screams ice cream parlor and diner, and a "biker" bar called "Damn Site Inn." There is tons of signage around these 3 buildings, all with a playful edge and perfect for photo ops."Greetings From Hell," temperature in Hell, etc. This version of Hell is fun loving, not terrifying. Totally kid friendly. The activities themselves are pretty mundane, to be honest. Around the gift shop there is a small play area filled with painted wood cutouts for you to stick your head through and snap a photo (you can be a devil or a Sasquatch). There are also plywood games like "monkey poo toss" that you can throw some beanbags through plus a small, totally unchallenging, putt putt course. The neatest thing, I think, is the small chapel. Yes. You can get married in Hell. ROMANCE AIN'T DEAD, Y'ALL! For $100 you can also be "mayor" of the town for the day. What does that mean? According to the website you get: A key to the town of Hell, an official badge with your name on it, ownership of one square inch of Hell (including a deed, vial of dirt and official landowner card), a set of devil horns to wear for the day, a proclamation naming the recipient as Hell's mayor for that particular day, an "Official Mayor of Hell" T-shirt with "Impeached" stamped across the back and a document confirming the impeachment. In reality, there isn't really all that much to do here. The real appeal and the novelty of the place is saying "I'm in Hell!" You won't spend a whole day here but you can check in to Hell on your social media sites, snap a few photos, get an ice cream cone at the diner, some cool skull lights and a t-shirt at the shop, and maybe a PBR at the bar. The people/proprietors of the local businesses are really nice. VERY kind and welcoming and help make this place special. So, yeah. I think Hell is ok. In reality I think I'd give the town about 3 stars but the novelty of saying "I've been to Hell and back" when someone asks you how your day was is pretty stellar. Plus everyone is so nice and that I had to bump it up to 4. If you're passing through, I'd stop in. But I wouldn't go out of your way to come here. read more
