 Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near MichiganWhile in Michigan, you might enjoy a visit to: View the manufacture of pet caskets and tour a model pet cemetery. Popular with school groups. So much Dutch you won't believe it. A Dutch Village, a Netherlands Museum, "De Zwaan," a grain-grinding, 240-year-old, ten-story-tall Dutch windmill that sells its own flour, and two wooden shoe factory tours. An towering symbol of American -- and particularly the Detroit area's -- highway prowess. Built as a Ferris Wheel for the 1964 New York World's Fair. A rare, seated Paul Bunyan with Babe the Blue Ox, at the base of the Castle Rock lookout, behind a big fence that shields Paul from potential lap-sitters. Climb the staircase up Castle Rock instead. An impressive rock cairn guarantees that we'll never forget Michigan's tourism giant, uh, what's-his-name... Lights! Water! Elvis! Splashy evening fun spot at 500 feet long, 64 feet high, 60 feet wide. It has six fountains, 16 falls, and 230 colored lights. Over 60 displays of woodland creatures, stuffed and positioned just like in nature. A large statue of a model skier, circa 1960, stands at the entrance to a ski resort. |
