Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

- Luvtotrvl96Seven Mile, OH113 contributionsWhat a hidden gem! This refuge is beautiful, quiet and peaceful! We saw wildlife - rabbits, muskrat, heron, all kinds of birds, geese, ducks and some gorgeous flowers! We owned the 6.5 mile path while we were there so we could stop and take photos at will. We appreciated the assistance of the US fish and game representative who addressed our questions before we reached the trail.
It is a good idea to do this for future visitors.Written 27 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The paths were winding and much to my surprise, led to 2 bald eagles. I have only seen 1 in flight in my 71 years. I truly enjoyed my stroll through this cute zoo. I would have purchased a sweat shirt had they had them. I highly recommend you visit the.

- kay_171717Howell, MI11 contributionsMy toddler was not having the best time during our camping trip and this was just the break she needed. SO much for her to do and explore. I would recommend everyone with children to check this place out. Best thing is she wore herself out and finally got a nap in afterwards!Written 25 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sara j8 contributionsLove that we have this unique Marketplace in Saginaw! So many, food vendors with DELICIOUS food options. Lots of unique, little retail shops. Each one is a locally owned. Spring until fall the Downtown Saginaw farmers market is set up outside. A must visit in Saginaw!Written 4 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- tymetraveler222Bay City, MI6,819 contributionsThis library is a beautiful historical treasure for Saginaw. Built in the Romansque (sp?) style, it opened in 1890 to the public. Outside is built of local limestone from the Thumb, and red sandstone from Lake Superior.
Inside is beautiful oak through out, including the staircase, shelving and window trim. Brass hardware completes the decor.
This library has a well known and heavily used genealogy dept., and Saginaw history section. A children's library sits connected and adjacent, though the modern architecture is disheartening.
A must see for visitors who have a love of history and architecture.Written 19 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robby G CToronto, Canada78,235 contributionsThis is unique. We were protected from rain thanks to the trees. There were many pillars.
I liked the round pool with a statue.
However, there were many beautiful flowers
Worthwhile to see!Written 8 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We also were able to have some Matcha Tea and Mochi after the ceremony. Then we were able to tour the gardens. A good educational experience.Written 10 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Joscelyn TaelorMuskegon, MI14 contributionsWe went for the wine tasting corn maze, which was super fun! They had a cash bar and also a gift shop that is perfect to get you in the mood for autumn. Their caramel apples are incredible with tons of different varieties. You can do the pressed penny here, which I think is pretty great.Written 26 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- don_taylorSaginaw, MI19 contributionsEvery year when I visit Saginaw Veterans Memorial Plaza and take part in workers memorial it makes me think how quickly life can change for so many people out of a loss of one life. let alone multiple. it has been said when one person dies it effects the lives of anywhere from 300 to 1000 friends and family members. I am very thankful of the many people that made the ultimate sacrifice to save our country and to allow us the freedom we have today and that is something that no-one should ever forget.Written 7 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
