Michigan's Adventure was a really fun small Cedar Fair Park. I really enjoyed my time here, despite all of the rides running on one train, there was a shortage of parts so I can let it slide. I did love this park. The management was really good, the food was really good, and despite not being the best Cedar Fair Park, it was still a really fun experience!

If it weren't for shivering Timbers, I would give 1 stars. The park is gross and the lines are stupid long for bad rides. Just drive to cedar point, it's worth it

I took my daughter here. Was the worst experience ever. She left disappointed and i left frustrated and angry. They have so many stupid rules. I will give examples. We are used to waterparks in Wisconsin Dells with pretty much no restrictions but we were traveling in michigan and it was a beautiful day so i took my daughter while my wife went shopping in nearby towns. Fortunately she hadn't left immediately because we got to the entrance and the first rule was you have to be wearing street clothes to come in. My daughter was about 10 and was wearing a one piece swimsuit. So we went back to car to get clothes over her suit. Ok we got in. First ride was similar to noahs ark in Wisconsin Dells where you ride a big car with lots of people. It climbs up circles around and then zooms down into pool of water. Finally get to ride cause line was long. Oh you can't go on without shoes or watersocks. WTF. Went to their store. Got watersocks for daughter and myself. Back to ride. Rode it. Got off. At Noahs Ark in Dells you cross a bridge and as next car is coming down and hits water you get blasted on bridge. Same setup at Michigans Adventure but not allowed to stand on bridge and get hit by wave. Moving on we go on next ride no problems. Then my daughter sees these paddleboat swans. She wants to ride. So we wait in line. Get to front. She can't ride like that. "Like what" i said. Attendant says she can't ride it in swimsuit. I was like WHAT? Its a germ thing. So we went back and i changed her into street clothes and she went on swan paddleboat. Back to change again and on to more rides. More rules more BS. Frankly Michigan's Adventure has taken all the fun out of this place. There are more stories i could tell but frankly we were glad to leave this nightmare park. If you want water adventures come to Wisconsin Dells where there are many waterparks and very few stupid rules. We actually know how to have fun in Wisconsin. Michigans Adventure will leave you frustrated and feeling like you threw your money away.

If i could rate it less, I would. It sucked. We were going to go to cedar point but instead decided to get tickets to Michigan's adventure. it was catered for little kids. the biggest rides that were open was the corkscrew, which is about a 30 second ride, and the pirate ship, which was the more fun of the two. the rest were things like the carousel, and the train, little kid rides. so we rode all of the things we could in about 20 minutes. we were going to get a treat, but no way am i paying $6 for a small ice-cream cone. I had more fun on the 3 hour drive to than at the park. So, the two $35 tickets and a $25 parking pass was the worst $95 (plus tax) that I've ever spent in my life.

Prices are obscene.Food is relatively edible.Some days the workers have a good attitude, other days they don't.The theme is cool, but the layout is really weird.And it's card only which sucks.

The food was alright, I guess. Typical park food. The burgers came out fresh, so that was nice. The food was so expensive though. I expected the prices to be high, but not $16 for a small plate. The tables could've been cleaner.

Lessons learned from my first visit. Parking is $25. And there isn't any alternatives. There are signs everywhere stating "no outside food", but thanks to other reviews, we were prepared with packed lunches, drinks and snacks. The parking lot isn't too big to prevent trips to the car. They search your bags upon entrance, but I think it is more security of guns and knives, than bringing in outside food. The restaurants, drink stands and mini food locations are very expensive. Slice of pizza around $15, Elephant ears also $15. Drinks are $6 and buying the refillable cups for a lot of money, are awkward to take on rides. Not all rides have a place to leave your bags, hats, and glasses. The Waterpark has shorter hours than amusement park. The least desirable thing is you have to carry up the heavy inner tube a very long way, up lots of steps to top of slides. Something kids, and adults, have difficulty carrying. Make sure you download the park's app where you can lookup Wai times for rides. We made the mistake of waiting in line at the roller coaster at the front of park, Mad Mouse. We waited over 90 minutes...the ride always has the longest wait, and in my opinion, not worth it. The water rides were all great, but you can watch the wait times to find shorter or no wait times. Adventure Falls and Grand Rapids you will get soaked...advise to do these with your Waterpark suits, with cover ups and water shoes. The small lockers are $10/day and you can unlock/lock multiple times as you change from clothes to get wet with and other to stay dry. You cannot ride rides in just bathing suits. Shirts (or cover ups) and shoes required.

We went again! 8/4/23, Friday- 85 degrees and sunny. They open at 11am and we arrived about 11:30. Easy to park and get in. You should 100% buy tickets and parking ahead of time online. Save a few $$ and quicker. We did not do the water park. But the longest we waited for anything was 20 min and that was mad mouse- which I still think is the most fun-scary ride and super bonus it's right next to the awesome petting zoo. The refillable drink cup is 18.99 but we bought 2 ( for 5 of us) and refilled for free all day. Just like last year, we had a great time, prices are in line with what I would expect for an amusement park, and we will do it again next year! I will say, we had the app which showed wait times and we did not find it to be totally accurate. Maybe give or take 10 min either way. TIP! Get the sno cone- only $5 and huge!
Cedar Point it is not but it's a nice break from the craziness of life. If you buy a season pass in August, it's good for the entire next season as well, and tickets are so pricy that if you plan to go more than once or twice, the season pass (that also comes with free parking) is definitely worth it.

100% better tasting than anticipated, but it cost over $90 for four entrees and drinks. Prices for entrees were not posted anywhere.

took 2 hours to wait in line for a ride that kept breaking down. Sure, you can pay 2 times as much to go to this park to cut everyone else in line for the "fast pass" the fast pass honestly isn't fair for other people enjoying the park... makes it feel segregated into 2 seperate classes of customers. if I could rate this a 0 star I would have.

I gave this place a 4 star because my kids had a blast. That being said, here are our positives and negatives. There were 5 of us. 2 adults, 9, 3 and 3. Sadly the 3 year olds were just as much as the adults but that's ok. We bought 4 two day tickets and one season pass. It was cheaper to buy the season pass then pay the $25 a day for parking. I should've bought 2 season passes. We bought one refillable cup each day. The first day my son got the band so they could throw their cups away between rides. The second day we got the plastic cup to refill. If we would've bought the plastic cup first and used it the second day it would have been $6 a refill. Which tells you how much it was for regular price. We probably should've gotten the season cup but my son didn't want to carry it on the coasters. Positives: - it's a small park and great for younger kids. We have a nine year old and 3 year old. The 9 year old loved all the coasters. Although he said several were rough. Even my husband said they were tougher than the last time we came a few years ago. - lots of rides for the little kids. The 3 year olds LOVED all the rides and I loved that we could do a few bigger ones as long as we were with them. A great variety for them. - refillable water stations. At any of the food places as well as at the bathrooms they had refillable water stations. SO handy on these hot days. - you get a lot of food. I'll talk about the price in a min but you get a lot of food. We ordered chicken strips and it came with 5 huge strips and a ton of fries. We never finished all of our fries. We pre bought a meal for the day. We got 4 of them. We ended up eating at the water park and got chicken nuggets and 2 chef salads. Again, it was a lot of food and I'm pretty sure it was the only veggie in the park! - Our second day was at the water park. We read to get there early to get a seat. We did and got a few seats in the spray park area. It worked for us! We were in the shade. My husband and son rode the big rides while the littles loved the little slides available to them. There were even a few medium, faster slides they could try and lots of spray water and sprinklers. - the lazy River was super fun. The same with the wave pool! - friendly staff Negatives - the staff was HOT. I talked to a few of them and they said the staff in camp snoopy get fans but they didn't. I think these kids need a fan too! Again, it's hot. - the food prices are no joke. A whole pizza was $56. I'm not even joking. If you order a meal it's 16.99. It comes with 2 slices and a breadstick. That's insane. We pre-ordered on the app which everyone should because you at least get a free drink. You will have to tell them though because they don't know that. Also while we were there they were out of hotdogs. Like NO hotdogs in the entire park. The menu also stated they had mini corn dogs but they didn't. It wasn't even on the real menu. I waited for over an hour in line to get my salad and chicken tenders. It was ridiculous. They are for sure making money on the food. Seriously, Disney is cheaper. - although renting a stroller was $20, it was nice to have one. The double stroller had a top but not anywhere to put a bag. I just plopped it on top but it wasn't the best solution. They also rent wagons but no top. All in all it's a great place to spend the day. Next year we will get the season passes because even if we go twice it will be worth it. You get free parking and discounts on food and merch which at this place it adds up quickly. -
It’s a great place in my opinion.
