Breakfast or Brunch:

• Step out of the elements and into a cozy neighborhood bakery, The Bread Gal, for artisan breads & pastries. (Kids will love the Chocolate Croissant and adults can savor a delicious Cardamom Bun.)
• Head into Fuzzy’s for homemade iced cinnamon bread, available grilled as Cinnamon French Toast (and to-go as a tasty snack for the trip home).

Mid-Morning:

• Spend quality time together inside the Mid-Michigan Children’s Museum and prepare for hands-on exploring through 16,000 square feet of interactive galleries!
  • Learn how farms connect us to our food on Aunt Sugar's Farm.
  • Explore the amazing properties of H2O at Water, Water Everywhere.
  • Change tires like a racecar pit crew at the Tinker Track.
  • Create art from recycled objects at the Scrap Studio.

• Visit Valerie's Downtown, where every family member will find something on the menu! Choose from specialty sandwiches, Mexican favorites, wraps, salads, burgers, and flavorful flatbreads.
• You won’t mind the weather one bit once you step inside SVRC Marketplace, where everyone can pick their own place to eat!
  • Swing by Pearl's Deli for stacked-high favorites — sandwiches, hoagies, and hotdogs, made fresh & fast.
  • Visit Makin' Bacon to savor bacon-covered-everything, including mouthwatering Bacon Mac 'n Cheese!
  • Try Honey's Tasty Potatoes for baked potatoes, tacos, and nachos.
  • Don't leave without treats for later from Delicious Sweets Bakeshop, Krav'n Cookies & Coffee, Kakes the Great Popcorn Co., and more!

Dinner:

• Sink your teeth into New York-style slices (or split the whole pie as a family) at Old World Pizzeria. The kids will love the pepperoni slice, and parents? You simply have to try the Burrata & basil add-on!
  
• Discover a menu of delicious (Chicago Deep Dish, Chicago Thin Crust, Detroit-Style) pizzas at Uno Pizzeria & Grill, or explore one of their Family Meal Deals.

Evening:

• Step into Stardust to bowl for strikes and welcome your family into more than 60 video arcade games, two-story laser tag, and indoor bumper cars — and The Taproom with 41 draft craft brews, parents!
• Sample from-scratch, small-batch ice creams at Michigan Cream & Sugar Ice Cream Company before ordering Bubble Waffle Cones filled with your favorites.
• See if your trip’s timed just right to catch a family-friendly performance at The Temple Theatre or The Dow Event Center — or possibly a Saginaw Spirit OHL hockey or Michigan Arsenal arena football game!
