The Great Lake State is beautiful in all four seasons but when winter is coming to a close, Michiganders are desperate for some sunshine. Spring is perhaps the best time to visit popular tourist spots because the summer crowds haven’t arrived yet and you can get yourself some much-needed vitamin C. Grab your planner and we’ll help you decide what spring attractions in Michigan you should visit.
Mackinac Island, MI 49757, USA
Before the summer tourists arrive, visit Mackinac Island in spring for all the beauty with fewer crowds. Go on a carriage ride or rent a bike and pedal around the island. Remember to visit the two beautiful butterfly houses, the library, and famous Arch Rock. Before taking the ferry back to the mainland, grab yourself some delicious fudge to eat on the ride home.
306 Main St, Coopersville, MI 49404, USA
Whether you’re a kid or a kid at heart, the Bunny Train is fun for the whole family. This Easter, climb aboard the Coopersville & Marne Railway vintage train, which travels between Coopersville and Marne with the Easter bunny herself on board! The 90-minute ride will give you beautiful spring views and you can experience riding on an old-fashioned locomotive.

Holland, MI 49423, USA
One of the best ways to experience Holland’s world-famous Tulip Time festival is by driving through the Tulip Lanes. Since Tulip Time takes place in May, there is a good chance rain might spoil your plans for walking through the tulips or watching a parade. Instead, pile into the car and grab yourself some ice cream at Captain Sundae before driving through the beautiful tulip lanes in historic Holland.
