Did you know there are whales in Michigan? It’s true! Little ones who have dreamed of riding a whale on the open seas can enjoy a kid-sized version of that experience on the Winky the Whale ride at Michigan’s Adventure.
Kiddos can choose from a gray or blue whale, hop in with up to three friends and get ready for a splish-splashy whale of a time! While in their natural marine habitat, the whales dive down into the water and surge back up, all while swimming in a circular pattern. Navigate your way to Winky the Whale, near Zach's Zoomer for a fantastic, offshore adventure!
Here’s a fun idea for parents from Winky the Whale: Ask your little marine biologists: If you could really ride a whale in the ocean, what do you think it would feel like? Where would you like to go?
Height Requirement: 36” minimum or accompanied by a supervising companion. No hand-held infants.
