What other Michigan train rides can I take?
If this train with dinner theatre in Michigan sounds fun to you, there are more train rides in Michigan you can hop aboard. Have a scenic trip on the Crossroads Village & Huckleberry Railroad trip. It's a 40-minute adventure chugging along the tracks next to sweeping views of Mott Lake.

Plus, the view you get to enjoy at the end is of the stunning Tahquamenon Falls themselves. Here is a list of more beautiful train rides in Michigan.
What are the best themed restaurants in Michigan?
Murder mystery dinner theatre is certainly a fun way to spice up a meal, but it's not the only unique dining experience you can have in Michigan. The Mad Hatter Bistro in Birmingham will whisk you away to the world of Alice in Wonderland, and their food is excellent. Green Dot Stables in Detroit is certainly one-of-a-kind, with a massive horse on top of the restaurant and a western, stable themed interior. Be sure to try their sliders - that's what they're known for (other than, you know, the giant horse). Love The Beatles? Strawberry Fields, a restaurant in Chesterfield Township, is themed around the Fab Four and has a pun-filled menu with names of their songs.
What unique activities can I do in Michigan?
From train rides to weirdly themed restaurants, there's obviously no shortage of unusual things to do in Michigan. Luckily, there are plenty more where those came from if you're in search of wacky and quirky destinations. For example, you could visit the American Museum of Magic in Mason, Michigan. Exhibits within include a floating skull and more items with seemingly magical properties. The Nun Doll Museum, located in Indian River, is certainly an experience you'll never have anywhere else. If you like the sound of walking through tons of dolls dressed as Catholic nuns, all staring right at you (and perhaps straight into your soul), then that's the place for you!
