Malia Mediterranean Bistro 34 West Michigan Avenue, Battle Creek, MI 4901

Best restaurant in Battle Creek - busy - so book as tables are hard to get......It is busy for a reason!!!! Let this restaurant become one of your new favorite places to eat!

Kellogg’s Cereal City Location: 171 W. Michigan Avenue 
A variety of activities can be enjoyed when paying a visit to Tony the Tiger’s lair. Browse through the gift shop where a wide-range of Kellogg character souvenirs and collectibles await your arrival. When you’ve worked up an appetite, you can enjoy lunch at the Red Onion Grill, as well as cool off with a Froot Loops Sundae at the onsite ice cream parlor. This is a great attraction for visitors of all ages.

Gary Field's Comedy Club Location: 51 West Michigan Avenue
Looking for something to get into for the weekend? There's a lot going on at this hot spot. Friday and Saturday nights at Gary Field's provide you with a night filled with entertaining comedy with the occasional hypnotist or magician thrown in for good measure. Two shows are offered per night: 8pm non-smoking and 10:30pm options. The club is also open throughout the rest of the week with Monday Bike Night (seasonal); Tuesday Wings & Comedy Movie Night; Wednesday Dueling Piano & Martinis from 7:30-11:30; Thursday Wings, live Rock & Blues.

Cheap Flicks
Location: 15375 S. Helmer Rd
Movie theater prices of today can be extremely demanding, especially if you want soda, candy and popcorn. You might as well fork over your entire wallet because for a family of four, you'll be paying close to $50. Battle Creek is home to Cheap Flicks, a refreshing alternative to high theater prices, which charges $3 per movie ticket. Although you will have to wait 1-2 weeks before viewing the latest releases, you will have a nice selection of blockbuster films to choose from. There are always 2-3 movies appropriate for younger audiences, as well as around 7 selections for the adults. Past movies have included The DaVinci Code, War of the Worlds, Finding Nemo, and The Break Up. Discounted snacks, popcorn and drinks are also available.

Nottke's is currently offering free bowling from 12-6 pm everyday. Although there is a 2-hour time limit, I've gone with two others and easily bowled five games. All you have to do is pay for the shoes (~$2.50-2.75).

Nottke's Bowling Alley Location: 775 West Columbia Avenue
Everyone likes to bowl, right? Even if you don't feel like hitting a few pins around, this bowling alley offers a game room with darts and pool table, located in a sectioned off area by the bar. It's a great place to take not only the family, but also your significant other for an inexpensive night on the town. The bowling alley oozes with special offers for every day of the week: Sunday ($7/person; unlimited cosmic bowling until 12am); Monday ($1-Day, including games, shoes, beer, Pepsi, pizza slice); Tuesday (2-for-1, including games, shoes, hot dogs, popcorn, and Pepsi); Wednesday ($5.00 Cover Charge, everything after that is 25 cents: soda, hot dogs, shoes and games); Thursday ($8/person, unlimited bowling/shoes from 9-11pm); Friday & Saturday ($12/person on Fri; $15/person on Sat; unlimited bowling for 4 hours with disco lights and music).

If you don't mind the bar scene, Pablo's (35 W Jackson St) offers ultimate and non-ultimate boxing events on advertised Saturday nights.

Attend a Sporting Event Playing at the Kellogg Arena, you will find the Battle Creek Crunch, a newly inducted member of the Great Lakes Indoor Football League (GLIFL). Also holding games in the Kellogg Arena are the Battle Creek Knights, which represents the International Basketball League (IBL). Their first season was held in 2005 and provided fans with a 21-0 season. 2006 marks the last season that Battle Creek's Class A minor league baseball team, the Southwest Michigan Devil Rays, can be enjoyed. This is a real shame because going to the Devil Ray games were pretty fun. They held numerous Friday night fireworks events after games and offered various giveaways. One night, I left with 6 loaves of Sara Lee bread as part of a promotion. After the 2006 season, you may pay a visit to the team in Midland, Michigan, which is about 2 ½ hours away.

The world headquarters of Kellogg Company is situated in Battle Creek, a midwestern city with a population close to 55,000 inhabitants.

If you've ever sat down to the breakfast table and had a bowl of Frosted Flakes, chances are it probably came from a factory in Battle Creek, Michigan, which is better known as the home of Tony the Tiger.

Unit occupancy is not to exceed two persons per bedroom, plus a child who is less than six months old and who sleeps in the same bedroom with the child’s parent, guardian, legal custodian, or person applying for that status. If the number of people applying for a single apartment exceeds the property's guidelines, the application will be rejected for that particular size of apartment. If a resident, who has a newborn less than six months old at the time of rental application or lease renewal, moves into an apartment that, once the newborn reaches the age of six months, violates the occupancy guidelines, the resident is required to either (1) move into another available apartment which has more bedrooms leased at the current market rent; or (2) move out.

APARTMENT AVAILABILITY - Applications for apartment homes will be accepted on a first come – first serve basis and are subject to the availability of the particular apartment type requested. “Availability” does not necessarily mean that an apartment will definitely be available for occupancy by an applicant at the estimated date. “Available” apartments include those where a “Notice to Vacate” has been submitted by an existing resident indicating an intention to vacate on or about a certain date. Under certain circumstances, we will permit current residents who are not in default of their lease to withdraw or change their notice of moving. Other circumstances not necessarily under management’s control may also delay the date of availability of an apartment. In addition, an apartment may not be considered available because it is about to be placed under contract as an application has been made and a deposit placed to hold the apartment. If the applicant’s credit is not approved or if the applicant fails to sign a Lease by the specified date, then the apartment would again become available. Whether a particular unit or type of apartment is available can vary significantly within several hours or a day.
