Highland Park, MI may be small, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t lots of fun things to do nearby. There is ample opportunity for entertainment in this city, including a wide range of museums and casinos. Today, we’re looking at some of the most fun weekend activities that are within driving distance of the city.
1. Visiting The Yard at Corktown
One of our favorite things to do on the weekend is visit The Yard at Corktown at 1375 Michigan Ave. You can stop by between 4 PM and midnight on Saturday or 4 PM and 9 PM on Sunday and enjoy a wide range of activities. You can catch up with old friends by the bonfire while enjoying queso-covered fries or nachos.
While cornhole is fun and there are hundreds of board games to play, our favorite thing to do at The Yard is axe throwing. For just $20, you can walk in and enjoy an hour of axe throwing. If you want to celebrate your buddy’s upcoming wedding with the rest of your groomsmen, you can reserve an arena. Reservations are required for groups of six or more and recommended for smaller groups.
2. Exploring the Outdoor Adventure Center
While playing at The Yard is one of our favorite ways to enjoy a night out on the town, visiting the OAC is one of our favorite ways to enjoy a peaceful Sunday afternoon. You can visit this adventure center from 10 AM to 5 PM Saturday or noon to 3 PM Sunday, except when it closes for annual maintenance in September.
There is a ton of fun that can be found here, including over 20 exhibits. Your kids can climb into the duck blind and learn about the wetlands and waterfowl of Michigan. You can choose from one of many archery experiences, ranging from a free introductory class to a month-long, in-depth class.
3. Working Out at DYNO Detroit Climbing
Finally, you can have a blast getting a killer forearm workout and soaring to new heights at DYNO Detroit Climbing at 3500 Orleans St. There are four climbing options you can choose from, but we highly recommend bouldering for a great workout and auto-belay climbing for an adrenaline-pumping fun experience.
