From Old Saginaw City to Riverfront Saginaw, you’ll find a lively, urban stretch of possibilities – where you can both behold a Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra performance amidst the grandeur of the Temple Theatre, and catch an evening concert at the new outdoor Huntington Event Park. Sip Prohibition-era cocktails inside a 1920s-style speakeasy, or watch an OHL hockey game inside the Dow Event Center. Bringing your little ones? Don’t miss the chance to experience 1 of only 5 AZA-Accredited zoos in Michigan, a bright and playful Children’s Museum, and tons of family fun celebrations and events year round. Or, explore our outdoor wonderland, where you can take in nearly 10,000 acres of Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge aboard the shallow-draft boats of Johnny Panther Quest Adventure Tours on a romantic outing, a birding excursion, or even a fall color tour!
