Midwest
Where America Smiles
The sprawling states of the Midwest have a reputation for being warm and open. Enjoy the friendly vibe as you walk along Chicago’s “Magnificent Mile” and savour homemade fudge (a local specialty) on a horse-and-buggy ride across Mackinac Island. Cruise through South Dakota’s Custer State Park on a buffalo safari and take in the splendour of Mount Rushmore. There’ll be plenty of smiles to return along the way.

Fun facts about the Midwest
The name Michigan comes from the Ojibwe word mishigami, meaning “large water.”
A traditional Chicago-style hot dog is topped with mustard, onions, relish, pickles, tomatoes, sport peppers, and celery salt. No ketchup!
Mount Rushmore was originally intended to feature not presidents, but heroes of the American West.
