| Sea Life in Auburn Hills, MI |
1.
Sea Life
Sea Life Aquarium in Auburn Hills is just awesome. There are various
colorful fish that you will see. Sea Life is located at 4316 Baldwin
Road, Auburn Hill, Michigan 48326.
The hours for Sea Life in Auburn Hills are Monday through Friday 10 am-9pm,
Saturday 10 am-9pm, and Sunday 10 am-6pm. Now because of the awesome response they are recommending to ore-book online. There is limited availability for walk-up tickets. General Admission is as low as $14.00 per person and a better savings when booking online.
You
will see over 5,000 creatures and there are 32 locations all over the
world. I saw beautiful Sting- Rays, Sharks, and much more. Children
were amazed to to see these creatures. I found it to be
fascinating.
Hands
On at Sea Life
The
great thing about the hands on at Sea Life is that everything that
you see in the video below could be touched. Children love putting
their hands in the water and touching the creatures.

Michigan Adventure- Located
at 1198 W. Riley-Thompson Rd, Muskegon, Mi 49445,
We
were not able to see all that there was to see, but I had a great
time. Some of the sites you will want to see when you get there are
as follows: The Lagoon, Mine Shaft, Half-Pint Paradise and much, much
more.
I
was quite impressed with the food. I ordered chicken tenders and they
were nice and tender as well as seasoned just right. I usually take a
picture of my food, but their food was so great that I completely
forgot.

Ball Python
found in the Reptile Center at Camp Copneconic YMCA

Camp Copneconic
It is located at 10407 North Fenton Road, Michigan. 8 am to 5 pm. Day camps are awesome. Activities may include, brushing the horses, hiking the nature trails to do bird watching, group activities to include relay races, a visit to the reptile center, and much more.

| Splash Pad in Grand Blanc, Mi |
It is open at 11 am starting in June. The great thing about the splash pad is that unlike a swimming pool, it is water squirting out of various outlets on the pads. Children of all ages including toddlers can enjoy this. There are benches on the sides where the parents can sit to observe their children. It is a very colorful Splash Pad; in fact, it has a rainbow of colors.
I
Thought Paint Ball was just for adults, but I discovered that
children can play too. They offer birthday parties and it is a
place for family fun. Get a little paint on your clothing don't worry
it is washable.
This is a small petting zoo, but quite nice. They have food available to feed the various animals. I love the hands on area for petting the animals. Feed stations to feed the animals are located throughout the zoo. I discovered this zoo one day while on my way to Bronner's in Frankenmuth.

| Giraffe at Lion Country Safari |
For
those of you that live in Florida, this is an amazing Safari. You
will be able to walk through and see many of the animals. Even
touching and feeding them. The Giraffe shown in this article was
very friendly and loved for anyone to feed him. I never really
thought about how tall a giraffe is until I was actually up there
feeding him. Another part of this safari that I liked was the one
that you would drive through and view the animals. This is the one
where you definitely do not want to get out of your car until the
tour is finished.
Do you want to go back in
time? When you are at Greenfield Village, that is exactly what it
feels like. You need to see it to believe it. It is an awesome
experience. There are so many historical districts to see.

Thanks mother of 3
I was just saying to my daughter how I think her dad and I are going to do a staycation this summer. Living in Southern New England we have many choices that others drive miles to see.
Thanks for sharing a bit about your area and the great things to do and see.
I am a fan Also Michelle.
Sounds good Karen.
These look like great ideas for entertainment, and I love that the money saved by not traveling so far from home means you can afford to have more fun!
Staycations are so much fun. YOu do not need to spend oodles of $$$$ to have a blast.
