5. If you're a fan of Michigan's Adventure, you're going to love this! They're adding a fall season.
The theme park usually closes Labor Day weekend, but this year they'll be open through October 15. If you're a fan of Halloween, this fall season will be full of "treats" instead of "tricks" for you. That's because they're introducing their new Tricks And Treats Fall Fest which will begin on Saturday, September 16, and end on Sunday, October 15.
If you want to learn more about all the fall fun, you can get the details on their website.
