Take the plunge on Shivering Timbers, a 125-foot-tall wooden roller coaster at Michigan’s Adventure Amusement and Water Park. Race down the 850-foot luge track at Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park before skiing, snow-shoeing, or ice-skating along the shores of Lake Michigan. Tour Muskegon Lake aboard the Aquastar, or visit one of several maritime attractions, including the S.S. Milwaukee Clipper, a steamship and historic national landmark. If indoor shopping is more your style, check out downtown Muskegon’s Century Club, a venue packed with retailers and wine tastings. End the day gazing at the stars and learning about the solar system at Carr-Fles Planetarium, and then grab a bite to eat while enjoying sunset views at one of many beach and waterfront dining establishments.
