About Michigans Adventure
About Michigans Adventure
Michigan's Adventure is the state's largest theme park, sitting in Muskegon on Lake Michigan's east coast. It's a mid-sized park best known for Shivering Timbers - a 125-foot-tall wooden out-and-back coaster consistently rated among the country's best woodies. Other rides include Thunderhawk suspended coaster, Wolverine Wildcat, and a full WildWater Adventure water park included with admission.
Michigan's Adventure has a short operating season (roughly May to early September) with peak crowds on summer weekends and during US school holidays. Weekdays are usually very relaxed, with queue times on most rides staying under 20 minutes. Check live wait times for Shivering Timbers on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a quieter date if you want multiple rerides.
