Experiences and Adventures
All of our experiences are generally available during the summer season. However, occasionally Mother Nature requires that we close them for safety.
Note: Availability is subject to weather and staffing. Starting September 1st we may not have all experiences open. Please call 616-336-2017 for daily availability.
