Visiting Detroit

Visiting Detroit is an amazing experience that offers something for everyone.  If you are a music lover, make a plan to stop in the Motown Historic Museum – Hitsville USA, and feel the vibrations of the sound that rocked the music industry. Detroit is also home to a first class theatre district with more than 13,000 seats. Or just take a ride on the above ground People Mover and stop at Greektown for great ethnic flavors and music. The city also offers a wide range of eateries including Detroit’s iconic hot dog hot spots, Lafayette Coney Island and American Coney Island, right next door to each other.  If you are looking for something more than a hot dog, upscale dining with delectable cuisine and unforgettable ambience are found throughout downtown.

Perhaps you are more insterested in finding out more about the "Motor City." Only in Detroit can you take an automobile factory tour, visit where the first Model T was built, or be in awe of the great auto baron’s lush estates? Start up your engines and immerse yourself at the America’s greatest history attraction, The Henry Ford, with an amazing collection of transportation exhibits plus President John F. Kennedy’s limousine, a 50-ton Gothic steam engine, the Rosa Parks bus, and much more. On the Village campus take a ride in a classic car down Main Street, or stroll the lanes and visit seven historic districts that feature the Thomas Edison Menlo Park Laboratory, the Wright Brothers bicycle shop, the home of Steven Foster, a working farm, and other historic American treasures. At the Walter P. Chrysler Museum, view antique, custom and concept vehicles interspersed with interactive displays and historical exhibits.

Detroit is truly a city the whole family can enjoy. Riverboat cruises along the Detroit River allow visitors to enjoy the international skylines of Motor City and Windsor, Ontario, Canada.  Ride a carousel, frolic in water jets or rent bikes for the whole crew on the RiverWalk and tour the city on two wheels, or hop on a Segway for a self-propelled exploration of downtown area sights. It’s a short distance to the Cultural Center in the city’s Midtown district with a landscape of art and history museums, dining, entertainment and much more. The collection at the Detroit Institute of Arts is among the top six in the United States. Seek out special exhibitions, kid-friendly workshops, artist demonstrations, film and music programs.  Visit the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, the largest museum of its kind in the world. Or take the entire clan on the elevated People Mover for a 2.9 mile loop around Detroit with great views of downtown and the riverfront.
