Reservations
Planning on a Jeep Tour or Dune Ride at Silver Lake or Sagatuck be sure to call ahead.
Winter Sports Complex offers lots seasonal activities. You'll want to make a reservation if you want to try the Luge. Check with any museums or the John Ball Zoo for scheduled tickets.
Depending on dining preferences I'd recommend making reservations anytime after 6 pm in the summer or breakfast on the weekends.
