Battle Creek

We know visitors. They've been coming here for over a century. Isn't it time you pay us a visit? Guarantee…you'll find adventure, fun and interests for the whole family.

Battle Creek offers something for everyone, particularly for today's modern "on the go" family. If you're into outdoor activities like camping, hiking, fishing and boating, over 7,000 acres of parklands are at your beck and call. Golfers flock to our city because of great public golf courses (at small city prices) and thrifty package plans arranged through comfortable motels and hotels. We have one of the biggest hot-air balloon festivals in the country, one of Michigan's top attractions. Another top Michigan "must-see" is adventurous Binder Park Zoo, a great "all-day" attraction for the whole family. These are just for starters. Contact the Battle Creek/Calhoun County Visitor & Convention Bureau for more information, today!
