We also rented kayaks that the owner, Art, delivered to the launch site along a nice river. Again, at no charge. Finally, we treated ourselves and the kids and rented a paddleboard for the day to play with in Lake Michigan. Again, no charge for delivery and pick up from the beach. Pain free fun!!! Art and his wife are friendly and knowledgeable and completely accommodating. We will use them again for sure!!

Was on my way to Chicago to purchase eBikes and stopped in to RAR to look around and ended up…read morepurchasing from Art and Shelly. They had scheduled appointment customers they were helping and managed to work us right in without neglecting them. Art and Shelly are fair, knowledgeable and extremely kind. Art spent so much time with us explaining the ebike world to us and making sure we made an informed decision with test rides and answering all our questions. Before we left he made sure everything was fit and working properly to our satisfaction and patiently making changes to our needs. I feel confident Art and Shelly will continue to support our purchase above and beyond should we have any future problems or repairs. Our maiden trip was 18 miles on some hill country that I certainly would not have entertained on my mountain bike. In my late 50's it has opened up a whole new world of possibilities and much needed exercise. If you are considering an ebike go to RAR first!

We had the best time here! Brought my 2 year old to paint a gift for Grandma. The studio is cozy…read moreand kid friendly. There's a puppet theater for kids to play with if painting gets too much and space to explore, too. Parking is easy out front and it's close to everything in New Buffalo. Since there's not many kids activities in the area, we will definitely be returning to paint some more. Loretta, the owner, is kind, helpful and great with kids. Glad this local business is in the area! Definitely recommend.

I haven't heard Lexi ever speak crossly. Except for many years ago (more than 15?) has their been anyone rude at the gym. I can't imagine anyone having anything bad to say about anyone currently there! The girls are inspired to do their best and if beginners, receive a well rounded introduction to gymnastics, please read hidden reviews as this gym has 3, 5star ratings that were not published for some odd reason I think it's a mistake and the one star should be hidden !

This was our first time ever to any dunes and my sons number 1 "want" was to sled down the dunes…read more So, we rented three sled sandboards and one stand‑up sandboard for an hour, which came to $100 plus tax. The employee handed us the boards with no real instructions other than "wax them, but not too much". The first issue was that an hour goes by incredibly fast once you factor in the walk across the large parking lot and the long climb up the dunes. By the time the kids finally reached the top, none of the three sled sandboards would move, not even a little. They ended up hauling the sleds up the dune only to run back down dragging them behind, which was definitely not what we paid for. My nephew on the stand‑up board did manage to make it halfway down. Overall, some guidance like how to sit, how to shift your weight, how much wax to use might have made a difference. As it was, the experience felt like a waste of money for us.

Depending on the weather, we go hiking and sledding, make s'mores, do crafts, go on night hikes, observe the stars through a telescope (belongs to our troop).

I remember Cathy Sharp lipsyncing to Eight Days a Week by the Beatles, which was so new, this was the first time I heard it! I loved every moment I spent here. I learned how to cook, how to get along with others, how to be responsible and independent and how to be my own person. It was here I discovered astronomy and nature - lifelong passions. I am so grateful for my Girl Scout leader, Ms. Minella who introduced me to this amazing paradise! In the 1990s, when my own daughter was in Girl Scouts, I brought her and my mom, before she passed to share with me for a few hours one of the greatest places on earth.

Like they were sitting on the bottom bleachers and then the bleacher above them was full of their stuff then the bleacher above that was more platinum people. People tried to sit there and they said that was their stuff or they were saved seats. No they weren't. They were just extremely rude. When they were doing the 50/50 raffle a girl from the home team was standing in front of the big lady and the big lady put her hands on her to move her. If I saw that happen to my child I'd be so mad. I took a picture to prove the seating situation after they told my family that those seats were saved. I even went back later in the meet and there stuff was still sitting there. That's why I took the pic

Warren Woods is such a tiny state park and a perfect little getaway from the dunes/shoreline/sun if…read moreyou feel the need. After a weekend filled with dune climbing, we were excited to be immersed in an old growth forest just a stone's through away from Warren Dunes where we were camping. The trail through this park is an out and back and clocked in at a little over 2 miles round trip. It was very interesting and diverse and I would definitely do this one again, but the park is pretty small and this is basically the only trail system within the park, so it would be this same exact hike again the next time. Location wise, it is a bit random and seemingly located in the middle of nowhere, but it's only a 10-15 minute drive away from Warren Dunes so you're never too far from some civilization.
