Our four year old and my husband had a total blast on the toboggan run. I had heard about it for…read moreyears so it was fun to finally see it in person and see just how popular it was despite it only being 15 degrees outside. The price includes one hour of time on the run and folks typically can make it through 2-3 times. I have to say, I was surprised at just how much fun I had watching strangers go down and seeing the whole thing. It's quite nostalgic. You can park at the top of the run or at the hotel (where the track spits you out).

SO MUCH FUN! I came with my family in late December and we had a blast! There were 6 adults and two…read morekids in our group and everyone enjoyed themselves. The toboggan rental is easy and straightforward. You fill out a yellow sheet before going up to the window and then need an ID to rent up to 4 toboggans. They range from 2-4 people and cost $13 an hour for each one. Then $6.50 for each additional half hour. If it's busy you can only go down once in an hour, but with fewer people it's possible to get down 3 times if you're walking the sled up each time. People who drive in their car with the sleds May be able to go down 4 times. I personally liked having to hike back up with the sled. It's great exercise and reminds me of running up the hills to sled back down as a kid. The sleds go up to almost 40mph. We got up to 37mph with two adults and two kids (11 and 12). It's thrilling and fun! The only scary part for me was waiting on the metal steps going up. I'm scared of heights and I was shaking waiting in the line, but it was worth the ride down!

They have a fun inflatable course that bigger kids or adults can go on, but my only complaint is that room and water in that pool is collllld! My kids much prefer the heated pool side equipped with a small slide, set depth entrance, lazy river (no tubes), and small pool to play or shoot hoops. There are benches build into the pool so parents can sit in the warm water while kiddos splash and play around.

There's a lap pool, and if this is your thing, check the times for lap swims. Sometimes it is crowded and you have to share a lane, and sometimes it isn't. Find your time! There is a play area that is wonderful - separate from the large pool. It has a slide for littles, a gradual walk in with splash fountains, and then you round the corner and can walk in a waist-deep pool (or do very short laps) - there can be a basketball hoop there. There's also a sort of lazy river with benches that you can walk around. This, too, has open hours that you can pay a small fee to use. The Aquatic Center is a fantastic community resource!

Most of my experience here has been camping at sites during the winter which is a totally different experience and one I recommend. The trails and river/lake in this park are beautiful and well maintained and they offer all levels of mountain biking. Again I usually go in the winter and my group is the only one here and it is just an amazing time to be able to walk the trails and park and take it all in undisturbed by others. If for some reason you are losing interest in nature which is hard to believe they also have some nearby towns with some breweries and other entertainment as well. - Ample parking - Nice, knowledgeable rangers - Range of sites for how much you want to rough it - Amazing trails

I was pleasantly surprised to see some of the staff inspecting springs on trampolines this morning while the park was a bit slow. It did not seem to be an easy job, but one this dad appreciates greatly! We are really excited about the Flight Club. There are two tiers, $17 for 1.5 hours or $22 for 2 hours. You pay that price monthly and can come in as often as once a day to jump for your 1.5 or 2 hours. If you jump only twice in a month it's worth your money! (There are some restrictions so check the details online or at the park). Overall, I love this place. It's good for the kids and their energy outlet needs it.

We biked directly from our camp site at Fort Custer State Recreation Area to the Battle Creek…read moreLinear Park (aka trail). The trail largely runs along the Kalamazoo River which provides some nice scenery. The trail passes through the Leila Arboretum. My favorite spot was the Verona Dam, which has a nice deck with picnic tables and a great view of the water. The dam is like a man made waterfall. The trail runs through the campus of the Kellog Community College and through downtown Battle Creek right past the gorgeous old train station. There's a significant monument to the Underground Railroad near downtown. The sights along the trail are all pretty great! The trail itself is unfortunately poorly maintained. It's the roughest trail surface I've ever ridden in several spots. Not being from the area we found the trail poorly marked and we missed a number of turns and had to stop to search for where does the trail go in several areas. Navigation challenges for us included Bedford Rd Bridge, 20th St, and Washington Ave near Washington School. The trail makes several unconventional street crossings in mid-block such as along Capitol Ave near Bailey Park. Capitol is a busy 4 lane road so we chose to cross at the stop light rather than the marked crossing mid-block.

I ride the Battle Creek Linear Park Trail quite regularly. Usually several times a week. There are…read moreseveral different legs of the trail, but my favorite is the stretch along the river from Bailey Park to River Road. The scenery along this stretch is very nice and I usually see a variety of wildlife. My reason for only a 3 star rating is the condition of the trail. Many areas are very bumpy from tree root damage and the amount of glass on the trail is the most I've seen on any linear trail or rail trail. They have a clean up every year where locals volunteer to pick up various trash along the trail and river, but unfortunately, this does not include a thorough sweeping of the glass. If the city would just repair a few of the worst rough areas and run a lawn tractor with a sweeper down the trail just once a month, this trail could be a 5 star trail. It could also use a few more bathroom areas and watering areas along the route. There is a port a potty at Bailey Park and another at the boat launch near Helmer Road. But areas to get a drink or refill a water bottle are scarce. There is a water fountain near Claras downtown, but for some reason the last couple of years, the city has not turned the water back on in the spring, so it's useless. The city is always wanting to add more parks and facilities around the city, but they really need to maintain what they already have now. Kalamazoo River Valey Trail has 90% less glass and less chance of a flat, for cyclists.

If you must get high at work, get a odorless vape for Pete's sake, it's a kids play place. A few minutes later 1 of the teen workers emerged from the back with febreeze & sprayed it all over. Then, manager & 2 teens went to chill outside in front of the store for 30 min or so, leaving 1 teen girl to hold down the fort.
