You don’t have to travel far to have fun: Plan an impromptu overnight trip to downtown Albion.
Stay at the Courtyard by Marriott and everything you need is within walking distance. Nearby activities include:
-
Eat a burger at Albion Malleable Brewing Company: Looking for the best burger in Michigan? You’ll find it at this solid brewpub. Mlive declared AMBC as the best in the land. Go with the classic Signature Burger or try the house-made veggie burger.
-
Indulge at Foundry Bakehouse and Deli: Whether you’re looking for a special breakfast, a sweet snack or a healthy lunch, stop by Foundry. The variety of baked goods is astounding, and we won’t blame you if you visit more than once.
-
Goof around at Kids ‘N’ Stuff: The play museum is open for imaginative fun. All the classic exhibits are there to fill an afternoon with play: the water table, costumes and theater stage, block mountain, farm and shopping mart, wind tunnel wall and baby room.
-
Watch a movie: The Bohm Theatre in Albion is a refurbished movie palace from the early 20th century. They always have a family friendly movie playing from the latest blockbusters.
-
Shop to relax: Buy some Albion swag at Pure Albion or browse for something to read at Stirling Books. They also have a cafe, so you can find a bench by the river to enjoy your new book and an iced coffee.
-
Pick up snacks: Right across from Courtyard is a tiny but mighty grocery store, where you can pick up gummy candy, gourmet pretzels and cheese with crackers. For chocolate made in Albion (and all around the world) check out the selection at Yellow Bird Chocolate Shop.
-
Find family favorites: Tacos and pizza are classic go-to family dinners. You’ll find Lopez Taco House and Trackside Eatery on main street.
-
Travel by bike or kayak: Bring your bicycle or kayak for the Albion River Trail. The trail goes through downtown Albion, and there’s a boat launch into the Kalamazoo River along the way.
