The state’s largest amusement park is located in Muskegon, just 8 miles from the shores of Lake Michigan, providing stellar scenery from the top of the park’s Ferris wheel. The park’s signature ride, Shivering Timbers is a wooden roller coaster, which is the longest and fastest in the state. The ride is even more thrilling when ridden at night. Families with young children will want to head to Camp Snoopy, a new addition featuring smaller rides, an interactive play structure and serene landscaping for a child-friendly theme park experience. Kids of all ages rave about the WildWater Adventure water park section to beat the summer heat, featuring seven body and tubing waterslides, three wave pools with various intensities, a lazy river and a multi-level aquatic playground with slides, geysers and a tipping bucket for serious splashing. Both portions of the park are included in ticket prices, with options to add on dining, cabana and “fast lane” packages. You can walk to Michigan’s Adventure from the adjacent Duck Creek RV Resort, which offers both cabins and RV sites for rent as well as entertaining amenities like a swimming pool, miniature golf course, arcade and lake with paddling sports.
