Things To Do
Holland State Park
Holland State Park is one of Michigan's most visited state parks. Once you take a look at the beautiful beach or take in a sunset over Lake Michigan, you'll know why! The expansive beach is open to all who have purchased a day pass or a Recreation Passport. View Big Red Lighthouse directly across the channel to the south, or take a stroll north along the beachfront. Holland State Park offers fishing, a boat launch, a concession stand with modern restrooms and changing area, a small playground and camping. During peak hours (weekends, holidays), we recommend to arrive early.
New Holland Brewing
New Holland is a West Michigan classic brewery with plenty of great drinks, food, and smiles to offer! Would highly recommend visiting while you are in town but would recommend calling ahead to avoid the wait.
Hops at 84 East
Opening in 1993, 84 East has been a destination for generations. We are committed to all things craft. Hops has an award-winning craft beer list featuring 6o taps from our great beer state and the country. Hops is not just amazing beer, we barrel age our own specialty cocktails, have an extensive scotch and bourbon menu and wine by the glass featuring the first wine on tap system in the area.
Windmill Island Garden
Many visitors to Holland are looking for signs of our Dutch heritage and find examples all throughout town. However, THE place to go to get a taste of our area's Dutch history and culture is Windmill Island Gardens!
Tunnel Park
A picturesque place to watch a sunset, Tunnel Park is named for the concrete tunnel that cuts through a sand dune and provides access to a sparkling Lake Michigan beach. This 22-acre park with its extensive Lake Michigan beachfront is a great place for swimming, sunbathing and picknicking. In addition to the unique tunnel through the dune, this park has a children's playground complete with a dune climb and a dune stairway with scenic views of Lake Michigan. Beach volleyball courts, picnic tables and grills, restrooms, and a great playground make this a very family-friendly beach.
Nelis' Dutch Village
Step back into the Netherlands of over 100 years ago, on a day when a festival came to town. Within this happy village, your family has many entertainment choices including Dutch Dancing, wooden shoe carving, rides, games, friendly farm animals, photo ops, food, drink and shopping. From kids to grandparents, the memories are endless.
The Curragh Irish Pub
We hope you will join us for some true Irish hospitality. Come inside, enjoy the warm, inviting atmosphere with friends and family. Or, during the warmer months, a table on our patio provides Holland’s favorite outdoor dining experience.
The Shopping Strip!
Check out 8th street for an abundance of shops, boutiques, and food! Great for walks, coffee, food, or some casual window shopping and local shops.
