Flint Michigan’s Best Day Trips

Let's face it, a lot of people have the wrong idea about Flint. Reddit user ShinySpoon puts it best:

 Everyone I meet thinks Flint is both a post-apocalyptic dystopian wasteland and a massive city. They are usually disbelieving when I tell them Flint is actually a pretty small city with a vibrant cultural richness and diversity.

Because of these misconceptions, we've compiled a list of places to have wonderful day trips, or take your last-minute visitors when they visit Flint, so that you can show off what the city has to offer.
