Spring Break Staycation Ideas for Metro Detroit

Spring break in Michigan is approaching and many of us are ready for some outdoor fun. Living in the Northwest during spring break can be tricky. Some days are warm and welcoming while other days are rainy and windy. Regardless of the weather, it feels great to get out of the house and explore during spring break. I decided to ask AI Copilot for ideas on things for families to do in Michigan during spring break. This is the list it generated. What would you suggest or add to this list? Outdoor Adventures 1.Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore: Explore stunning cliffs, waterfalls, and hiking trails1. 2.Sleeping Bear Dunes: Climb the dunes and enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Michigan1. 3.Kitch-Iti-Kipi: Visit Michigan's largest freshwater spring and take a raft ride across the crystal-clear waters. (Not sure I agree with this one. The waters will be rather cold and dangerous if one were to fall in. I would suggest if you visited this, you stay on shore) Indoor Activities
1.Michigan Science Center: Engage in hands-on exhibits and interactive science displays1. 2.Great Lakes Crossing Outlets: Enjoy shopping, dining, and attractions like SEA LIFE Michigan Aquarium1. 3.Indoor Waterparks: Spend a day at places like Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark or Great Wolf Lodge3.
Unique Experiences 1.Nordic Spa at Mount Bohemia: Relax in a Finnish sauna, outdoor hot tub, and eucalyptus steam cabin2. 2.Henry Ford Museum: Discover American innovation and history through fascinating exhibits1. 3.Detroit Zoo: Visit the zoo and explore the Arctic Ring of Life and other animal habitats1.
Historical Sites 1.Greenfield Village: Step back in time and experience historical reenactments and vintage rides1. 2.Fort Mackinac: Explore the historic fort and learn about Michigan's military history1. These activities offer a mix of adventure, education, and relaxation, ensuring a memorable spring break for the whole family. Do any of these sound particularly exciting to you? Thank you CoPilot!

Throughout the weekend we may have plans to adventure out to see the festive light displays from Rochester to Detroit. 

 Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a classic Christmas story that every generation is sure to appreciate and love. The Fox Theatre and its nostalgic atmosphere will host the musical performance of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas

 Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical is the record-setting Broadway holiday sensation which features the hit songs “You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” from the original animated special. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is “two sizes too small,” decides to steal Christmas away from the Holiday loving Whos. 

Magnificent sets and costumes inspired by Dr. Seuss’ original illustrations help transport audiences to the whimsical world of Whoville and helps remind us of the true meaning of the holiday season. 

Don’t miss what The New York Times calls “AN EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE! 100 times better than any bedtime story.” 

 My family hasn't seen the Grinch musical in a few years, and we all look forward to a good heart felt laugh with a message that is sure to make our hearts twice as big as we enter this magical season. The Fox Theatre's doors are open this Thanksgiving weekend as we create holiday memories that fill your hearts twice as big!

ELF the Musical~Detroit Fox Theatre~ November 6-10 ( 7 performances)

Elf the Musical November 6-10 at Fox Theatre (7 performances!) Tickets are on-sale now at 313presents.com or Ticketmaster s/detail/elf-the-musical Event Page: https://www.313presents.com/events/detail/elf-the-musical ELF The Musical -
This modern Christmas classic bursts onto the stage in a production The New York Times calls “SPLASHY, PEPPY, SUGAR-SPRINKLED HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT!”
We all have memories of those classic holiday movies we've watched in our childhood. I remember watching A Christmas Story every Christmas during my childhood. It was my fathers childhood Christmas classic that continued into being one of mine. I remember when Home Alone came out in 1990. This quickly became a childhood favorite that has continued for my children. In 2003 Elf became a new American Christmas comedy and brought laughter and joy to families during the holidays. Now families can create memories of watching ELF the Musical at the Fox Theatre in Detroit. ELF the musical will come to The Fox Theatre beginning November 6-10th. Visit here to purchase tickets and find show times. In the bustling city of Detroit excitement filled the air. This year, the holiday season would be extra special with the arrival of Elf the Musical. Families eagerly awaited the show, ready to experience the heartwarming tale of Buddy the Elf—a human raised among Santa's elves, who embarks on a journey to find his true identity and spread Christmas cheer. The story begins in the magical land of the North Pole, where Buddy, a cheerful and naive elf, discovers he doesn’t quite fit in with his fellow elves. He’s much taller, and his love for Christmas is matched only by his clumsiness. When Buddy learns the truth about his origins, he bravely sets off to New York City in search of his biological father, Walter Hobbs, a grumpy businessman who has lost his Christmas spirit. As Buddy navigates the bustling streets of New York, he encounters the stark contrast between his whimsical, innocent worldview and the harsh realities of the city. People rush by, indifferent to the holiday spirit that fills Buddy's heart. He brings joy wherever he goes—whether by singing loudly in the subway, sharing candy with strangers, or decorating a department store. But no matter how hard he tries, the world around him seems determined to stifle his enthusiasm. Through his journey, Buddy teaches those he meets the importance of kindness, joy, and believing in the magic of Christmas. He reconnects with his father and, with the help of his newfound friends, reminds Walter—and the city—what it means to embrace the holiday spirit. The power of love and family triumphs over cynicism, leading to a heartfelt reconciliation. The show’s climax comes during a Christmas Eve crisis when Santa’s sleigh runs out of power. It’s Buddy’s unwavering belief in the magic of Christmas that saves the day. He rallies the people of New York, encouraging them to sing and believe, proving that the spirit of Christmas lives within all of us. As audiences in Detroit watch Elf the Musical at The Fox Theatre, they are reminded of the simple yet profound lesson at the heart of Buddy’s story: the true magic of Christmas comes from love, joy, and the willingness to believe in something greater than ourselves. Whether through laughter, song, or a shared moment with loved ones, the spirit of the season is alive in all who embrace it. As the curtain falls, families leave the Fox Theatre with smiles on their faces, hearts full of holiday spirit, and a renewed belief that, like Buddy, they too can bring a little magic into the world.
