The West Michigan Whitecaps hold all of there home games out at 5/3 ball park and they are a great chance to get outside and spend an evening! Plus it doesn’t hurt that every week they have home game specials like 2 dollar drafts and dollar hotdogs!

Grand Haven State Park
Not only do the roadies and I frequent the beautiful beach at Grand Haven State Park, but its a great place to spend your day or afternoon on a day off work. The beach is the perfect place to catch some rays, and they have the greatest hotdog stand, Pronto Pups, right down the street!
