OT: Halloween fun
Well, It's the best time of year! Football is in full swing... Michigan is going to stomp Sparty under the lights on prime time, Lions are doing their annual fluffing of the fans by getting some wins and looking good early, and the Pistons and Red wings have a new home in LCA (which is absolutely gorgeous, what an upgrade for both teams!)
So this brings me to my questions... what haunted attractions in Michigan are your favorites? Which are scariest and which ones are duds? Favorite cider mill?
Personally, I grew up going to Montrose Apple Orchard... so I make it a point to go there once or twice a year to get a bag of fresh apple and pumpkin donuts. My lady likes to go for the local craft tent sale on the 15th of October. As far as haunted attractions I'm a fan of Wiards in Ypsi... I think they do a great job every year. What say you MgoBrethern and Sistren?

Grew up going to the Franklin Cider Mill with the family every fall - pictures of that place bring back some damn good memories. When we lived in Ann Arbor, we would go to the Dexter Cider Mill a couple of times each fall. Great cider and donuts, and their frozen apple pies were ridiculously good.
South Dakota? Not so much...

Franklin cider mill. We go there at least a few times each year. Mostly to feed the ducks.

Wow, you must be young. At my age I can only feed the ducks once.

YES!!!
I grew up 5 min from the Franklin Cider Mill and LOVED going there. When I was in town for AF/Michigan, I picked up cider and donuts from there to take to my tailgate and it was like stepping back in time. So dang good... Miss that place so much.
EDIT: I do not feed ducks in public.

Seconded on Wiards. That place is fun to walk arounds and their donuts are amazing.

The Bunny Ranch during Halloween is always a great time.

Great deal on drinks. The Spiced BJ shots are to die for.

The problem with Franklin is they are now charging around $10 for a gallon of cider.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:31 AM ^
Always thought their cider and spiced donuts were better than Franklin or Dexter

that all cider and donuts taste pretty much the same. Neither are really my thing (exceptions for paczki and that Chinese donut place on Woodward).
But I love me a good apple pie.

so Oxford isn't out of the question, but I'm a big apple pie snob. I really only like my own.
With French vanilla ice cream.

Achatz? Any relation to the famous chef Grant Achatz of Chicago?

Parmenter's is a great cider mill for kids. There is a petting zoo, a locomotive ride, hay ride, playscape, and plenty of pumpkins to purchase. The only downfall is they don't sell apples, u-pick or otherwise.
