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 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

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!

I think you should definitely save time for the underwater tunnel. It's a unique view, but it can get busy. Try to hit it early in your visit to enjoy it more!

I suggest visiting on a weekday to avoid the weekend crowds. It was way more enjoyable without the hustle and bustle. Trust me, you'll appreciate the quieter atmosphere!
Treasure Island Hotel & Casino
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

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!

Make sure to ask about the cheese-making process during your tour. I learned some pretty cool stuff and it made the experience more interesting.
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!
