Stan's Bait & Tackle is hands down one of the best bait shops around the Lakes. They've got a great…read moreselection of bait and gear, and everything is well stocked no matter when you stop in. What really makes the place stand out though is the service. Mason is always on point--super easy to talk to, knows exactly what's been working on the water, and actually helps you dial things in instead of just ringing you up and sending you out the door. It's the kind of place where you feel like a regular even if it's your first time in. Good people, good advice, and everything you need to have a successful day fishing. Definitely worth stopping in before you head out.

We have two rods and a basic tackle box but needed some bait and new bobbers. Yelp told me we needed to go to Stan's Bait Shop, so we did! We popped into this 50+ year Milford mainstay and were not disappointed. While I have no idea what fish we were aiming to catch, or what bait/tackle would be ideal-- there was great selection for those who are more fisher-savvy than I. Pricing seemed reasonable. The staff was helpful. Open daily-- pop in to Stan's Bait Shop for your fishing needs.

This was a last minute change of plans as we had planned on playing mini golf at Pirates Cove but…read morethere was an event at Arnold's Park and no parking for a mile. So we quickly looked to see if there was another option and this little gem popped up. 27 holes of mini golf all themed around Disney or fairy tales we all know and love. Not super hard BUT several holes had a special wheel to spin to add an extra to that hole. For example I got to move an opponent's ball to wherever I wanted to in bounds. My kids loved this and we would go back again and the people running it were very nice and attentive! Skip the commercialized mini golf place and head here!
