Things to Do in Eastpointe

An award-winning special-event venue, Infinity and Ovation Yacht Charters ushers guests across the waters of Lake St. Clair aboard the 138-foot, three-decked Ovation yacht. At 7 p.m., partiers climb onto the watercraft to enjoy a menu of gourmet edibles and DJ-spun sounds. As eyes feast on the bobbing Detroit skyline and watch the orange sky drench ripply waters in its juicy rays, stomachs stuff themselves with an array of edibles and two complimentary drinks, with more available from a full-service cash bar. Engage in friendly dinner conversation while relaxing on the ship’s imported Italian furniture, or devise a plan with friends to stage a UFO hoax with life preservers. After dinner, cruisers are invited to kick off their sea legs and engage in hearty fun-having at the no-cover, no-line after-party on the boat’s very own dance floor, accommodating numerous dancers or a few big, red Clifford dogs.

Though Pilates apparatus seem to take center stage within the Ann Magee Fitness studio, it's not uncommon to see someone jump rope atop a Bosu ball or hook up TRX cords to the reformer. That's because the instructors espouse Pilates principles—core strength, body alignment, and breath work—without limiting their guests to a specific movement repertoire. Helming workouts that never repeat routines, they blend traditional Pilates stretches with kettlebell swings, hula-hoop shimmies, and trampoline leaps. To ensure that advanced students don't have to relearn the 50 components of a perfect jumping jack, the staff sorts patrons into different lessons based on their experience levels. They also offer a purely aerobic approach to fitness during their group stationary-cycling classes.

At Extreme Fun’s inflatable playland, kids bounce, climb, and slide across 27,000 square feet of springy tunnels and obstacles. With feet snug inside socks or thumbless mittens, young ones can explore the climate-controlled play area’s collection of sturdy inflatables, which include Nickelodeon characters, Superman–theme obstacle courses, and Finding Nemo stations that take kids through the cushy mouth of a great white shark. Extreme Fun also features a collection of interactive video games as well as a 550-square-foot inflatable basketball arena. Parents are welcome to join their young ones during bouncy basketball games to teach them basics of the game, such as defensive plays or how to stick out their tongue like Michael Jordan while dunking.
