Do you have any suggestions for places to go or things to see in Michigan, other than the better known tourist attractions? If someone were visiting this state next fall, what would you recommend to them?

are you into planes, well me neither but my husband is and the Kalamazoo Air Zoo is awesome. Got kids? they have a few simulator rides there for the kids (and adults too). Short 3-D clips that are cool, put you right there!
Bronner's and Frankenmuth is always a favorite of visitors.
The Makinaw Bridge of course, Castle Rock (if you can climb lots of stairs) someone previously posted that there are alot of waterfalls up in the U.P. The Sleeping Bear Dunes. How's that?

Sleeping Bear Dunes - go on the driving tour, Traverse City, the ledges in Grand Ledge, and any beach along Lake Michigan. All for little or no cost.

Hit the east coast also. Not so many tourists and in my opinion just as beautiful. If into hiking or biking there are some very nice trail along the east coast.

I haven't been there yet, but Pictured rocks is suppose to be absolutely beautiful.

Put on your page what your interested in so we can recommend what you like. Lansing has some great museums like the Olds museum downtown.

I actually live in Michigan. I was asking for someone on the site who asked me for suggestions of places to see when he and his wife come here next year. I wanted them to get as many suggestions as possible, so I left the question open ended so they can decide what interests them most. I really don't know if they will be visiting lower Michigan, the UP, or mid-Michigan. The responses have been great, they even made me want to visit, or revisit some of the sites. Thank you very much for your input.

The Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge is a great place for photos in the fall. I live only a few miles from it, and visit often.
