Michigan is a state that catches so much flack because many people just don't know how great of a state it truly is. Michigan is known for its beer, all things Detroit, and some prominent figures in sports, entertainment, and music. The University of Michigan is another bright spot but overall people outside of the state are oblivious to its true beauty.

Michigan has been graced with amazing nature such as the Great Lakes, Mackinac Island, the sand dunes, Pictured Rocks, and others but there are some cool attractions here as well. Dave and Busters, Craig's Cruisers, and Michigan's Adventures are the highlights. Those are in some of the larger cities in the state, sometimes the small cities have the best-hidden gems, like this indoor ropes course on the west side of Michigan.
