Outdoor Activities
We love Atwater park, the views of Lake Michigan are beautiful!This is a cliffside park, at the top there is a great new playground for the kids, benches and a lookout point. If you want to take the path or stairs down to the beachfront there is a pretty wooden path along the beach with another little playground. Lots of benches on the stairs and on the path at the bottom. Great place to workout as well, the stairs will get your glutes burning!!

Make sure to walk around the outside of the museum as well, every angle is gorgeous and overlooking the lake. It's perfection.
