Register for a guided painting class at Art Creation Station or admire the many outdoor sculptures dotting the Downtown Muskegon landscape. Check out a performance or a Free Family Movie Day at Frauenthal Center. Visit the James Jackson Museum of African American History for a little education and inspiration. Lean back and listen to the West Michigan Symphony. Whether you’re an artist yourself or avid appreciator, Muskegon is the place for you.

Foodies: go for the waterside views but stay for the dinner at The Lake House Waterfront Grille, Bear Lake Tavern, or Dockers Fish House. On the run? Grab a sandwich at Wayne’s Deli. And if you’re fueling up for a big day ahead, you can’t go wrong with an espresso drink from The Coffee Factory. Muskegon has great taste at every turn!

You’ll have ample opportunities to see exhibits at the Muskegon Museum of Art, Muskegon Museum of History, and the Muskegon Heritage Museum of Business & Industry if you select a Village at The Oaks address.  Don’t miss the USS Silversides Submarine Museum or Hackley & Hume Historic Site when you’re in the mood for a one-of-a-kind exploration.  You’ll be amazed at all the legacy landmarks in and around Muskegon.

Is your favorite scent fresh air?  You’ll relish the breathing room you’ll find picnicking and getting your steps in at Muskegon State Park, Kruse Park, Pere Marquette Park, and P.J. Hoffmaster State Park.  Take in the views of lighthouses, white sands, and, of course, sunsets.  There are plenty of spots to fish, camp, bike, and play an impromptu game in Muskegon.  If ice-skating, sledding, and cross country skiing are of more interest to you or your visitors, don’t miss the chance to get to Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park.
