Last week I had the opportunity to join the management at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets, along with Mayor McDaniel, to celebrate the opening of the new children’s play area. With its Michigan theme, the play area is located in the middle of the food court where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a meal or a drink while keeping an eye on the kids in a fun-filled play environment.

Kids can take a walk over the Mackinac Bridge or get inside of a colorful lighthouse. All of this is just in time for the start of the holiday shopping season. Congratulations to Great Lakes Crossing Outlets for bringing in this great new addition.
