Fall Trips from A to Z
Michigan makes it easy to fall for autumn, the most colorful of its four seasons. With more than 19 million acres of forest, the annual display of reds, golds, oranges, and yellows washes across the state beginning around mid-September in the upper reaches of the Upper Peninsula, and bows out around the end of October in the southern Lower Peninsula. An abundance of natural resources means a Pure Michigan autumn experience is less than a tank of gas away, and won't strain the budget or busy schedules. Fall for Michigan from A to Z read more...

Get Ready to Scream
It’s FINALLY that time of year again! Michigan’s largest haunted house, The Haunt, is back for its 8th year in Grand Rapids. Every frightening detail of this now 25,000 sq. ft. scarefest is sure to make even the bravest of souls run blindly for the exit.
Also returning from 2007 is the outdoor attraction; The Dark Maze. Upon entering the maze you will become fully aware that there are no lights, no maps and no tour guides to help get you out safely. Rather than thinking about turning right or left, you’ll be wondering whether you should scream or run.
Don’t be embarrassed when a terrified cry does escape from you, it will be barely noticeable under the sounds of chainsaws and demonic laughter from one of the many ghouls and zombies. These frightening creatures roam freely around each of the terrifying rooms and leave you wondering whether the shadowy figure in the corner is going to scare a scream out of you, or if it is just your imagination. Be sure to visit with a close group of friends. You’ll be clinging to one of them throughout your entire ghastly journey.
This horrifying chance only comes once a year! This year’s dates are October 3rd-November 1st. Tickets are $14 for The Haunt-General Admission, $22 for The Haunt and The Dark Maze. And if you think the scariest part of the night is going to be the lines, there are VIP tickets available that allow you to skip to the front! Visit www.the-haunt.com for a detailed calendar with times and detailed ticket prices.
With Halloween just around the corner, most people are in the mood for a good scare. Visit The Haunt in Grand Rapids, and see just what else is waiting around the corner.
