Traveling to unusual places always brings up fun stories to share. Hell in Michigan is a real town that takes its name very seriously with quirky attractions. Here is a look at what actually happens when you visit this unique spot and try out their local activities.
Becoming The Mayor For A Day
You can actually pay a small fee to become the official mayor of the town for the entire day or just an hour. It is a very funny experience because they give you a certificate and then quickly impeach you right after your term is done.
Mailing A Postcard Right From Hell
The local post office lets you send letters to your friends and family with a very special official stamp. They even singe the edges of the paper with a lighter to make it look like it came straight out of a fire.
Eating At The Hell Hole Diner
Stopping by the local diner is a must if you want to grab a quick bite and try their famous burgers or pasties. I thought the food was pretty decent and filling for a small town place although some folks might find the flavors just average.
Getting A Degree From Damnation University
You can easily pick up a joke diploma from their novelty university which is usually called Dam U by the locals. It makes for a really great souvenir to hang on your office wall and always gets a good laugh from visitors.
Locking Your Love On The Bridge
There is a small bridge where couples can attach a padlock to show their love will last forever. It is a cute little tradition that adds a surprisingly sweet touch to a town with such a spooky theme.
Having Ice Cream At Screams
They have an ice cream parlor that serves some really huge sundaes if you have a big sweet tooth. Trying to finish their massive ice cream challenge is pretty tough but it is definitely a fun activity for a warm afternoon.
Playing A Round Of Mini Golf
The town has a quirky little mini golf course decorated with all sorts of funny and strange props. It is not a professional course by any means but playing a quick game there is just a really silly way to pass the time.
Checking Out The Hell Saloon
You can visit the local saloon to grab a drink and enjoy some live music on the weekends. The atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly and I felt like the bar snacks were okay even if they were nothing too fancy.
Buying Quirky Souvenirs At The Shop
The main gift shop is packed with every kind of pun and joke item you could possibly imagine. You will definitely end up buying a silly t shirt or mug just to prove you actually went there.
Getting Married At The Local Chapel
Believe it or not there is a tiny chapel where people actually go to tie the knot or renew their vows. It is certainly a very unconventional place for a wedding but it makes for a story that nobody will ever forget.
Watching When Hell Freezes Over
During the winter months the town literally freezes over and the locals really lean into the joke with their weather updates. Visiting in the cold is quite an experience because seeing everything covered in snow just makes the whole town name even funnier.
