Frankenmuth Cheese Haus

You might wanna bring a cooler bag if you plan to buy cheese to take home. I didn't think about it and had to rush back before the cheese melted in the car. Made me a bit stressed and the drive was long!

If you're looking to save some cash, check for any seasonal sales or packages. I found a great deal on a cheese and wine combo that saved me a few bucks! Super worth it!
White Wolf Cafe & Bar

I suggest stopping by on a Saturday morning for their brunch – the atmosphere is lively and the mimosas are a must-try! They get crowded later, so an early arrival around 10 AM is best.

One thing I wish I knew before my visit is to set aside a little time for people-watching; it's such a vibrant crowd! Grab a corner seat with a drink and just enjoy the scene.
Tootsies Orchid Lounge

Get there by 5 PM to snag a good spot for live music. It gets super crowded later, and you'll want to enjoy the atmosphere without fighting for space.

Consider getting a drink from the rooftop bar. The view is stunning, and it's a great way to escape the crowds while still enjoying the vibe.

if you’re feeling hungry, check out their bar snacks – they’re decent and won’t break the bank. i tried the nachos, and they were great with a drink.
The Fallsview Tourist Area

I recommend getting to the observation decks first thing in the morning, around 8 AM. You’ll beat the crowd and get the best views without people in your photos!

I think it's worth splurging a little on the dining options with a view. I visited a restaurant overlooking the Falls and it was totally worth it for the atmosphere!

I suggest checking the weather before you go, especially if you're planning on being outside. I didn't realize it would rain, and I ended up soggy all day!

One thing I wish I knew earlier is to wear comfortable shoes! You'll be walking a lot around the decks and trails, and my feet were killing me by the end of the day.
Downtown Aquarium
If you're planning to take photos, I recommend going when the aquarium first opens at 10 AM. The lighting is great and it’s less crowded for those perfect shots!

Check out the feeding times for the sharks and rays. It's a super cool experience, and you won't want to miss it. They can get packed, so look at the schedule ahead!

Bring a water bottle! The inside can get a bit stuffy, and it's nice to stay hydrated while wandering around. Plus, it saves you a few bucks on drinks

Grab a combo ticket for the aquarium and the restaurant. It’s a bit cheaper than buying them separately, and you won't have to rush between the two!
Treasure Island Hotel & Casino

I suggest trying to explore the shops in the hotel, some of them offer good discounts! I found a great souvenir for way less than I expected.

My advice is to take a walk along the strip during the evening. It's beautiful and you'll find some hidden gems near Treasure Island that aren't in the big tourist guides.
230 Fifth

Check the weather before you go. I didn't, and the wind was brutal up there, which kinda ruined my photos.

My advice is to take your time exploring the rooftop. It's spacious, so find a nice spot to chill and enjoy the skyline.

Make sure to arrive around sunset, like 7 PM, to catch both daytime and nighttime city views. It’s a beautiful transition!

I recommend checking if they have any special events or happy hours before your visit. You could snag a good deal on drinks!
Tillamook Cheese Factory

Don’t skip the ice cream! I thought it was just for kids, but wow, the flavors are amazing. I suggest trying the Marionberry pie flavor, you won’t regret it.

My advice is to check out their gift shop at the end of your visit. I got some cute gifts and snacks that were way cheaper than in other stores.

If you get overwhelmed with options, I suggest sticking with the classic cheddar varieties. They’re super delicious and you can’t go wrong with them!

I recommend going on a weekday, like Tuesday or Wednesday. It was way less crowded when I visited, and I had time to savor all the samples!
Cochon
I recommend ordering a few small plates to share. This way you can experience more of their cool Southern flavors without breaking the bank!

Getting a seat at the bar is a great way to enjoy the atmosphere without a reservation. Plus, the staff is super friendly.

Beware of the parking situation. I had to pay for an expensive lot because street parking was completely full. Consider using a rideshare to save a few bucks.

I suggest getting there right when they open at 11 AM to snag a table without a long wait. It gets busy fast, trust me!
Robert Mondavi Winery

If you're looking to save some cash, check their website for special deals or discounts on tasting flights. I saved a few bucks that way!
Don't skip the art gallery on the property! It adds a lovely touch to the visit, and you can take some great photos. I didn't realize it was there until afterward!

I recommend booking a tasting experience in advance, especially on weekends, as it can get really busy. My friends and I almost missed out because we didn't plan ahead.
