Entertainment & Activities

I favor this park more than nearly any park in the city. There is something for everyone: ice skating, wall climbing, tennis, adult-sized (and enjoyed) kids parks, swings, you name it. All with views.

There are few aquariums in the midwest. This makes even some coastal aquariums pale in comparison.

Adler is a hidden gem. It also happens to have a (free) telescope that is positioned directly east of the museum. Find out the hours and check it out. Worth visiting as well...

Essentials

By far the best grocery store on this side of Michigan. And thankfully, it has amazing views, as well. Make sure you check out the top deck, with grilled-to-order meats and amazing gelato.
