All About Holland 2025

Uniquely Holland Where else can you climb atop the Cowardly Lion, whoosh down a three-story water slide, and meet Abraham Lincoln?

Big Red

Don’t miss Michigan’s most photographed lighthouse, Holland’s beloved “Big Red.” Since 1907, this iconic lighthouse has stood sentinel over the channel to Lake Michigan. For a breathtaking vista of the shoreline and its colorful guard, climb a dune staircase to the top of Mt. Pisgah – it’s definitely worth the 239 steps! To get the most up-close view available to the general public, make your way via the scenic Black Lake Boardwalk to Holland State Park’s north pier – the best place to admire Big Red. (You can also drive directly to Holland State Park and still thoroughly delight in the view). $ 2215 Ottawa Beach Rd, Holland One of the last of its kind in America, the Holland Bowl Mill makes exquisitely crafted solid hardwood bowls the same way it was done over 150 years ago. It can take almost 100 years for a hardwood tree to develop the grains that make each bowl so beautiful, and the skilled artisans who handle the wood give it the reverence it deserves. For over a month, they lovingly hand carve, dry, sand, and oil each piece, touching each one more than 100 times in the process. This 5th generation family business remains a master of a vanishing art. Come visit their factory where antique machinery is buzzing, sawdust is flying, and the scent of fresh cut wood perfumes the air. 120 James St, Holland (616) 396.6513 Holland Bowl Mill
