N Harbor Dr, Grand Haven“Chinook Pier is one of the little gems of Grand Haven. It's not too out of the way, and during the summer it's a perfect place to visit.It's easy to overlook though because most people only focus on the train when they pass by... What they don't know is that to the left of the train are a number of little shops lining the pier. Everything from a miniature golf course, ice cream shops, rental shops, and gift shops line the pier but because of the other shops in front you can't really see most of what's behind.Almost all of the stores close during the late fall and winter, only opening during the spring and summer seasons, but even then it's a beautiful place to visit on a clear day.On Wednesdays and Saturdays (I think) you can even enjoy the occasional Farmers Market next to the train.This spot is just great... :)Update:In the years since I first posted this review, much has changed (especially since the pandemic). Many shops have closed down, or downright disappeared. The farmers market is still going strong, and the park areas are relatively untouched, but I thought any visitors should know that the pictures I posted of the pier shops are no longer represenitive of what it looks like today.”
“Lots of empty store and very small food court. The Mexican food place was excellent and serves authentic vs American too. Higher quality clean children's play scape.”
“MORE THAN I EXPECTED! While looking at material (with a lost look on my face) a lady came up and asked if I needed help and what my project was... Kathy to the Rescue!! She listened to what I was looking for and my big undertaking, remodeling a pop-up camper. "Follow me" she said. Kathy took me to the very back of the store... and there was Everything I needed!! Canvas was the biggest thing! She checked the price for me to make sure it was on sale, it was! Showed me where other things were, upholstery needless, etc. I would have never found any of this if it wasn't for Kathy!! Exceptional Customer Service, Thank You Miss Kathy ??”
