Summer is upon us here in the Motor City, and warmer weather means one thing: it’s time to take advantage of Michigan’s many opportunities to cool off! While there’s nothing quite like a trip to one of our state’s Great Lakes, there’s something to be said for a chlorine-filled adventure at a water park. Luckily for us, there’s one delightful water park tucked away just outside Detroit — and you’ll certainly want to visit.

Red Oaks Waterpark is located at 1455 E 13 Mile Road in Madison Heights, approximately 20 minutes from downtown Detroit by car.
