4.5Cascade Falls(212 reviews) - Middle of the woods wonder Parks
Today we visited Cascade falls. I was really nervous about hiking for just under a mile with a 7yr old and someone that has stability issues. This is an great hike with a beautiful tiered waterfall. It’s not a huge falls but still beautiful! The hike did not seem like it was that long! I would definitely recommend taking the time to visit these falls. Bring bug spray depending on the time of year you visit.See more..

4.5Chateau Aeronautique Winery(60 reviews) - Great first experience! Monday: 3:00 PM - 9:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Wineries & Vineyards
Our Airpark Tasting Room located in Jackson, represents flying, vintage airplanes and living in a home on a grass runway surrounded by tress. Our wines are offered for tasting in a beautiful Tasting Room overlooking the grass runway with the theme, open cockpit biplane logo on every bottle, being vintage aviation. Our Airpark location is know for it's relaxed atmosphere with an emphasis on personal attention~ With the desire to grow our own grapes, having outgrown the hangar and an abundance of requests to host weddings, buses, etc., we acquired 26 acres in Onsted for a vineyard and second venue. The theme, Lorenzo being an international airline pilot, is vintage airline with a 1974 German glider wing for a bar top, vintage destination posters heralding legacy airlines and will eventually dig a barrel cave into the side of a hill. In 2017 we opened Blue Skies Brewery at the new venue and have added hard ciders, a kitchen serving small plates and live entertainment on the weekends.See more..
4.5Ella Sharp Museum(57 reviews) - A terrific museum with a local history focus and emphasis on the arts Monday: Speciality Museums
We drove from an hour away to see the Frida Kahlo's Garden exhibit, which we found compelling and well done; we loved the tie-in with school kids and their take on Friday Kahlo! Stayed for the very interesting Jackson county and city history galleries. Enjoyed the Never Enough Time exhibit of clocks of all shapes and sizes, as well as the Barns: Preserving Architectural Heritage exhibit and the Gallery of Wildlife Art. We loved the variety and scope of the temporary exhibits. We'll keep an eye on new exhibit announcements and look forward to a return visit. Kudos to the museum on a job well-done of keeping guests safe during these COVID times, with taking guest contact info, requiring masks, limiting the number of guests in a gallery, and lots of signs reminding us to social distance. Thank you!See more..
4.5Ella Sharp Park(44 reviews) - Jackson is fortunate to have this attraction Parks
Ella Sharp Park is integral to the community. It has the Ella Sharp Museum, The Peter Hurst Planetarium, softball fields, a driving range, the Round House pavilion, nature trails (although last year the DNR or the city dumped dozens of dead deer on the main trail and they stunk and attracted scavengers, wild dogs and coyotes). My favorite annual activity is Shakespeare in the Park, but there are events on a weekly basis such as car shows, art exhibits and concerts.See more..

Arbor Hills is an excellent course. You don't have to worry about slow greens and the course is always in excellent condition. I have enjoyed every round I have played. I also enjoy the free golf balls. They aren't free to everyone unfortunately. you have to buy a house along the 8th fairway. If you don't enjoy a beautiful golf course and the sounds of happy people you should probably avoid Arbor Hills.See more..

The theatre is a historic part of Jackson, Mi and it has the bones of something amazing. It definitely needs some repairs to the interior as plaster is destroyed and the paint is peeling. But even with that the theatre has a certain charm that takes you back to the times of live entertainment. See more..
