Beautiful luscious green park!Free flowing water, people fishing, ducks lounging. Good walking spaces. And relaxing areas. Needs a functional water fountain to drink from.

Great park with the river right in the middle, lots of wildlife in the spring. Well kept and maintained, with a taco stand and ice cream in walking distance.

Abagail D — Google review

Really cool park, bathrooms open, we all know that's a plus. Somebody hung these really cool crochet worms for people that might be feeling down. That was really cool.

Kyle M — Google review

This park is nice and the field is huge. It has grills if you want to come out here and grill with the family and also fish. This park is clean even when there’s people walking their dog you don’t see dog or geese feces everywhere.

Kind of snag city for fishing. But the atmosphere is nice. The sound of the water from the Damn is relaxing. And the ducks provide a lot of entertainment.

Todd B — Google review

I love going out there to cast some lines and try to catch fish, usually some pretty decent stuff too. There's a nice sized track and playground for the kids as well as public restrooms.

A very nice park along the Huron River accessible from Telegraph Road and Huron River Drive. Very peaceful they have a very nice bridge that goes over the water. I noticed some people fishing and they were apparently doing pretty well.

Spent growing up here as an Avid Angler of Brooks, Browns, Steelies,& Hook Jaw McGraw's & with the Fish Ladder they seem to Get More & More. I Took Photos From the Other side by near Kate's Kitchen is as it's far more historical & Interesting than the Rest

This park is a great local hangout!

MPeck — Google review

The park was fantastic and clean. While their city landscapers were doing a great job at maintaining the area. The playground was basic but perfect for the little ones to burn off some steam before heading off to explore. The paved path is great for just a comfortable stroll or taking a bike (now without training wheels, whoo) out. A shallow creek is just behind the main park, perfect for poking around and playing in while the scenery of the river is terrific for watching while snacking on some sandwiches. Will be visiting again!

My favorite park in Michigan. Love the river and the walking track. The trees when they boom. Wish it was warm all year I'd be there everyday

Holly W — Google review

Clean park with an old town feel. There is a dairy queen and a taco place right there. Along with lots of other stores. The fishing there is a blast. Plenty of space to spread out along the river. Walking trail and playground and also a basketball court.

Jason L — Google review

Beautiful place to go and fish or take a walk! ☺️🙌🏼 There's a small playground there for kids too and a spot nearby where you can rent canoes and kayaks for the river!

Sherrie C — Google review

Great place to grab some taco or a burger, then grab some ice cream. Then take a scenic walk in downtown Flat Rock.

Brandy B — Google review

Very cool spot,Good for kids , adults, couples, athletic people, gatheringConvenient locationLots of parking spotBeautiful nature but sadly beed treated badly by some people who doesn’t respect nature and doesn’t respect the effort of the city to maintain theses beautiful parks for them ,Trash was everywhere on the edges of the river..I picked water bottles, soda cans , chips bags , it’s shameful to know some adults trash around like that .

Island

Nature & Parks

Parks

Belle Isle is an island in the Detroit River and home to attractions such as the Belle Isle Aquarium, Conservatory, Nature Center, and Beach. In addition to its recreational areas, it's also a place where maritime history is remembered with exhibits at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum. Named for Revolutionary War general James Belle, it was opened to the public in 1882.

This is the most amazing park. It's pretty large and I suspect that it is busy in the warmer months. We had gone in March. We had a wonderful time at the museums. There is a lot of room to find a good spot to hang out for the day. There are plenty of grills, picnic tables, and places to sit. The views of Detroit and Canada are very good. It's pretty easy navigating around the park. You'll figure it out after driving around for a bit.

Troy Z — Google review

I love Belle Isle. Some times I would just chill inside my car and listen to music and vibe. Other times we would park and walk around and explore. There are some amazing views. Amazing trails with hidden chill spots in them. Overall one of my favorite places to go.

Crystal S — Google review

Belle Isle, Detroit's greatest secret has something for everyone to enjoy! Easy on and off the island, with plenty of parking options available! A large park, perfect for picnics or just getting outside is readily available. A great aquarium and huge fountain is also with walking distance! If you're brave enough you can try the world famous Belle Isle Slide! Definitely worth an afternoon trip, come see Belle Isle for yourself!

Sean Q — Google review

So beautiful on so many levels. It was a bit breezy when we went but still a wonderful day. Got to walk by the water and see the conservatory, the abandoned casino and so much more. We will be taking many trips here to spend the day with how beautiful it is

Amber B — Google review

One of my favorite places to visit. The aquarium is open on weekends only so it's a fun activity with the kids. Great views.

Autumn S — Google review

I love Belle Isle. Just to go take photos of the city skyline or the fountain, to go to the conservatory, the aquarium, and the museum. To just walk along the water. If you haven't been, go.

John C — Google review

We went today for the 1st time, Father's Day... it was very, very busy.. I didn't get a chance to see everything I wanted, so I will definitely be back! From what I did see, it was beautiful, and fun! I was sad the famous slide was closed...I definitely wanted to go on that :( .. but the aquarium and nature center, are definitely worth checking out!!

Nicole C — Google review

the advancements to the island are ever continuing and we look forward to our weekly hikes! have volunteered here and also taught yoga - a must visit if you haven’t.

Rebecca V — Google review

A very pretty park, although the aquarium is EXTREMELY SMALL, so if you go thinking it's an actual aquarium, you will be disappointed. The conservancy is very nice and everything is free. What a great community asset

Ides B — Google review

Belle Isle has been a go to place for me and my family since childhood. Events there are spectacular, especially enjoy the kite festival, the beach, the driving range, fishing, photography, athletic fields, and so much more. If you’re ever looking for something to do, you can’t go wrong taking a couple laps around the island. Enjoy scenic views, soak in the nature. Experience a little bit of Up North right in our urban city. Since the state of Michigan took it over from the City of Detroit that has progressed by leaps and bounds.

Mathew R — Google review

Beautiful park and clean. I took a Uber to reach the entrance but you can also walk and crossed the bridge. It's 1h+ walking from downtown (let's say starting at Monument "The fist') You can rent a bike $18 for 2h (be careful of the sense of circulation) there is a beach where you can swim. I couldn't visit an aquarium and the garden.

Mag X — Google review

Belle Isle is a great place to visit! Lots to see! Unfortunately, none of the attractions were open when I was there- all the more reason to come back.

Amy H — Google review

Absolutely love Belle Isle. What a beautiful place to bring the family or just to enjoy a night out and chill with the wife and enjoy the views.

Nickle 5 — Google review

This is a historical land with plenty of beautiful things to see, activities for all ages, and a family space. But my favorite thing is that it’s a place where I find peace even when there are crowds of people there is always a place to find some peace. And if you’re lucky enough you may see some of the most beautiful wildlife like the family of swans or the majestic blue herring.

Shoniqua K — Google review

Gorgeous natural space so close to the city. Will have to come back another time when the aquarium is open. Cruising around the isle even empty was really fun.

Morgan A — Google review

Beautiful island in Detroit. I went jogging through the bridge, it was fun. Calm and peaceful to spend time with your loved ones.

Amit A — Google review

The state has been working really hard to spruce this park up and it shows. They are adding more and more to the gardens each year, renovating the flower house, and other projects. It’s a fun place to picnic, watch freighters go by, or take a hike. There’s also an aquarium, a nature center, and a museum.

Good Place To Visit in summer And Get-Together Enjoy there.

Did a cruise around the whole island. Such beautiful views and cool history. I can’t image how much more beautiful it will be during the peak of summer. Amazing view of Downtown Detroit.

Alyssa P — Google review

Nice place to go with the kids and family to have a great time on the beach. Clean and cool. But the bathrooms need to be remodeled. Stinky 🤢 but all in all we had a wonderful time 😊

Rana A — Google review

Good spot for family trips on nice days. Knocked off one star b/c often I smell weed in the parking lot near the playgrounds. It's not teenagers smoking, usually the parents. I don't know if the park can do anything about it (doubt it), aside from that it's a great place.

Drew K — Google review

Belle Isle is one of the most Beautiful parks in Detroit!! I've been going to this park since I was a little girl and always loved it! It is well kept always clean and the safe place to go and just have fun barbecue lay out in the sun or just stand on the riverfront or go fishin. Belle Isle is open from 5:am until 10: pm.....

Trina H — Google review

Great park with lots of trails. Run down since when it opened but improvements are being made. Recommend 💚💯💯

Kenny G — Google review

It was Nice, Quiet, not real busy., I do feel as a Michigan State Park, it could be Rejuvenated. The North End was Terrible, Qver Grown and hundreds of DEAD TREES (disease). Maybe Ash Trees. Kind of a Neglected State Park, my personal View, it takes Money and more Attention by the State of Michigan.

Robert W — Google review

I honestly can't believe I've lived 30 minutes from here most of my life. I now live in Indiana and I was visiting family and decided to check it out. It was beautiful. Went during the week it wasn't crowded but everything was closed which kinda sucked but the beach was nice and we went for a nice walk. Bathrooms kinda gross though. Atleast at the beach.

Angela S — Google review

For an $11 day pass, how can you go wrong? Nice views, relaxing atmosphere and a cool fountain with a couple of good food trucks lurking. Its a shame I didnt have time to see the Nature Centre but at Sunset Point is the perfect view between Windsor and Detroit. Plenty of parking and very safe with lots of patrols.

Johnny B — Google review

Belle Isle has seen significant improvements thanks to the state’s efforts, transforming it into a truly iconic location to visit. Under Detroit’s management, the park was experiencing a decline, but the state’s intervention has turned the tides. The park is now cleaner, better maintained, and more inviting.There are plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy, making it a fantastic destination for families. Kids will love the numerous activities available, including the beach and bike trails. The scenic views are stunning and add to the island’s charm.Whether you’re a resident or a visitor, Belle Isle is a must-visit park, showcasing the positive changes and the beauty it has to offer.

Khalid K — Google review

Short drive from downtown Detroit. Great views. Lots to do here. Rent a scooter and go around the entire island. Perfect for dogs. If its hot, you can enjoy mist spraying from the waterfall. Relaxing, shaded areas and many different opportunity to get away from the City crowds. $11 for non-residents for a day pass but well worth it. Enough to do that you can spend the entire day.

Gary S — Google review

Belle Isle Park in Detroit is a beautiful gem. We loved the picturesque cherry blossom flowers and the serene river views. Fishing by the water was a relaxing experience, and bird-watching added to the park's charm. A perfect spot for nature lovers, Belle Isle Park offers a delightful escape in the heart of the city.

Rustic circa-1946 pub with boat docks & a casual menu of seafood & sandwiches, plus buckets of beer.

A definite longstanding favorite for locals! If you're in the area of Harsen's Island on the northern end of Lake St. Clair, you should 100% stop in. The food is always tasty and the drinks refreshing. It's relaxing and fun to sit back and watch the boats and people come and go.

Linda R — Google review

Monday night - 7pm.I was very busy but was pleasantly surprised by dock hand (nice job keeping boats to correct well sizes). Sat down without issue, and the waitress was attentive. Order a few drinks and some food, and it arrived as expected in reasonable time frame. Other team members help keep tables clean. All in all, I'm happy with my visit and will be back.

Ed W — Google review

My kids, my husband, and I waited an hour and a half while everyone else was piling in and being served. Meanwhile we were told nobody is able to put orders in for another ten minutes, we said no problem. The waitress then must have forgot our table and never put our order in.People around us kept being served, yet they arrived a good hour after us!! We stayed quiet.After we got our order, the table next to us spoke up and said to us, ”Didn’t you guys get here an hour before us?”, and we said yes!Our food got delivered…..The waitress asked if we needed anything and I said yeah our kids food should be covered for terrible service and she says you can talk to my manager and I said, “No, You talk to your manager!” So she brings the manager over and the manager yells at me for letting her waitress know that our food was never brought until the other tables were served who arrived 45 minutes- 1hour after us. She told me I was rude and wrong for treating her server bad. She said the other people who noticed are all drunk and don’t know what they are talking about. I just said what are you talking about, stood up, and told my two kids and my husband let’s go. When l stood up she said, “Good go!” Shouting to me and my kids!! What the heck. She then grabbed my arm, twisted the skin on it, and said don’t yell at me and broke blood vessels in my skin! Other people were shocked!I pushed her off and left with my kids and my husband told her she was wrong as hell, and she kept saying all these customers are drunk. What a scary situation.Don't go here at all. Or go to drink, but be careful…. And don’t bring kids at all. Not safe!!! Not safe at all when a waitress can put her hands on someone and it’s okay! The bouncers let her do whatever..super scary.

Great place to stop while boating on the middle channel for lunch and a cold one. I had the impossible burger and it was very good. The service was also amazingly quick even though they had a sign saying that they were short on staff. There were plenty of spaces to dock your boat.

Ken H — Google review

Service was terrible. Walked in place was packed there, where a few tables were still dirty from prior customers. We looked around, and a few waitresses were braiding each other's hair on the floor, staring at us. We cleaned off our own table. Once we cleaned off our own table then one of them got up and walked over to take our drink order. Service continued to be terrible, and the hair braiding continued at a table on the floor while food was being served and customers were not being helped. Will never come back, not even for a drink.

Nicole R — Google review

Was a server at Fritt's bistro when they had it in Mt. Clemens. Wanted to know if they still offered the Applewood Penne. It's been at least 20 years and I am craving it.

Amanda L — Google review

Both Jamie and Alexis waited on us this weekend. Both were exemplary in spite of the fact it was wall to wall pet. Every single person's meal in our parties on both days were perfect as well. Everything from walleye to chicken tenders was on point. Even Elena stepped in to make sure we were taken care of. Brian was out of this world and we are questioning whether he is even human. While docking or leaving he treated us as though we were royalty. Cannot say enough in regards to how well executed the operation was from the moment we docked until we left.

Chris K — Google review

Always a good time at Browns, even when they are busy. Food is great and the drinks are cold. Be mindful of the service when they are slammed.

Brown’s Bar officially opened for the season! Big burgers!New arcade games for kids have also been added for the 2023 season. Place looks great with freshened bar and table tops outside.We’ve had the big fish sandwich, mushroom Swiss and the Sriracha burger with a bucket of Coronas. Also like their chicken tenders, Chicken Hani sandwich, and the Black n Blue sandwich. Recently tried the crab cakes which were deep fried with spicy hush puppies.Excellent food and fun to watch all the boats coming in to dock. Fun summer place by boat or car ferry.

Kim D — Google review

A boater bar and grille. On days when the weather is nice it is an open air establishment. Fun atmosphere with lots of happy boaters enjoying drinks and good food. Great location for watching boats and meeting friends. The menu is a single page of exceptionally well made Americana. The interior is ramshackle but in a good way. Try the rum runner cocktail.

Mark N — Google review

The food is great! The service is great! They have a great view of the water and a nice overhang for shade. You'll always see something cool there rather it's a boat or something flying by literally. I also had the biggest crucnhy fish sandwich ever! Just make eye contact or say something when staff walks by you and they'll get someone to help you. They're usually extremely busy on the weekends and they handle it well. When it's a weekday it's like ordering fast food when fast food is actullay fast. It's on the water so it has a nice relaxing lake feel to it and the wait staff is relaxed even when they're busy.

Caleb S — Google review

Captains chicken tenders were amazingly flavorful , will be getting them again . The atmosphere was awesome , got waited on sufficiently even tho they were crowed not one empty table available and everyone was friendly and nice , shared table with a couple that lived down on my street . It was a good time

Excellent! Try the Walleye, its the best around. Great atomosphere. Great crowd. Great views! This is the place to go on Harsens Island! Stay for sunset. 😍

Shannon E — Google review

This is a very special place. I’m disappointed to see the fish dish downgrades on the new menu. The fried perch was dry and overcooked with only a small portion of coleslaw. The sautéed walleye is still good.

Dennis Q — Google review

Walked in, got ignored, seen a waitress sitting down then seen another one getting her hair braided by another waitress (3 waitresses doing nothing 2hike a party was waiting to be seated , and 2 tables empty full of cuos and plates). We stood by a dirty table waiting to sit down for a few minutes. Then we cleared off the table from cups/plates from the last party and THEN our waitress stood up and walked over. Service here isn't very good, and you can tell they just don't care.

Casino

The hotel Caesars Windsor is a luxury property with modern facilities, such as an indoor pool and spa, a casino, and restaurants. It is located just across the Detroit River from downtown Detroit, making it easy to explore both cities on your trip.

Rooms are clean, modern, and a good size. the bathrooms have a separate tub and shower and are very nice! Beds are a bit soft so our sleep wasn't the best. But otherwise it was great. The common areas were lovely, clean, and staff were great (with the exception of one snarky barmaid....perhaps she was having a bad day). The casino is terrific - the slots are fun with plenty of new ones.

Maestro H — Google review

Honestly the rooms were great. The casino was fun. The only complaint I have, was that the main check-in desk was a long walk from the tower we stayed in. There was very little signage or information given beforehand on how to check in. I ended up lugging bags from a parking garage, through a casino, up stairs, then had to retrace my route just to go back to another tower to my room. Those issues were the only ones. The rooms were very clean. Great views. Elevators always came really quick when called. Comfy bed. My girlfriend loved the heat lamp in the bathroom. The casino has a calm relaxed vibe until about 9pm when the younger crowd comes in, so depending on what you're looking for, plan accordingly. Staff at the casino were super helpful and friendly. I will absolutely come back.

Went and stayed here with my sis. The room was really nice and newly updated. We stayed on the side with just adults (which was perfect). In the room we had a great view, it was clean and the check-in process with really quick. Now checking out was a different experience, the person that checked us out was kinda of rude, but overall, all it was a nice spacious clean casino. It is a mini version of the Caesars in Las Vegas. Nice restaurants and their restaurants that are walking distance restaurants.

Patryce H — Google review

We have stayed there twice. The place itself if beautiful. We stay for days when we go. Both times could not get room cleaned. First time they said we had to ask for it. Second time we asked they said they only clean it after 3 days. After 3 days still not cleaned. When I went to call the phone didn't work. It's really disappointing. I clean in myself both times. Had to catch a employee to get towels. I went through hopper the last time terrible view don't do that. The time before Expedia great view. The rooms are clean when you get there. And the place is really pretty.

We went to a show at the casino that our kids bought us tickets for for Christmas. Everything about it was great. We ate dinner at Spago's,went to casino for a while, then on to the show. We paid for valet parking that was so convenient and well run. The dinner was very reasonable and also the parking. We will watch for shows that we want to see and definitely book something again. Absolutely loved the whole experience.

Judy M — Google review

Not a great experience. I was charged $25 for early check in at 2:30 on my birthday. A lot of confusing rules about where you can and can't bring a drink. They shut down the crowded bar at 11:30 on a crowded Friday after a concert let out. Why???? Will not be back. We were warned by friends before going as they had issues as well. The concert venue coliseum was very nice.

When my husband and I arrived, we were greeted by the most friendly staff ever. We came from Vancouver, BC, for a concert.(Teddy Swims)The room was very clean and a great location, we were there for 3 nights and very time we left staff was very friendly and helpful. Great place, we would definitely stay there again.

Jenny L — Google review

I am not into gambling, but if I was, I would certainly look to go here. Very friendly and safe establishment and very clean and modern. Tons of machines and tables and best of all, you do not pay taxes on your winnings like in the USA. Love the fact that there is plenty of indoor parking and it is free.

Michael B — Google review

Great clean hotel and room. Friendly staff. Casino and few great bars. Definitely, challenging parking: park and walk to the hotel to the reception on the second floor or use valet. Another minus is linked room to next door room; do not like to have that option and honestly would like to know in advance if the room is linked. Enjoyed my staff and will be back!

Ihor P — Google review

My family and I recently went to Casino Windsor for my cousin's 19th birthday party, and we all had a really good time! The casino had many games to play and lots of fun activities for everyone.We stayed at a nearby hotel that had a comfortable and clean room. The food at the casino's restaurant was delicious, and there was something for everyone to enjoy.Overall, Casino Windsor was the perfect place to celebrate my cousin's big day, and we all had a blast! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun place to spend a special occasion.

Justin C — Google review

I really enjoyed my stay! Room was nice, bed was comfy! The casino was great even though I won a bit and then lost it all 😆. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pool was also really good. Overall a great place to stay and I'll definitely stay here whenever I go to windsor next. Thanks for a great experience 😃

Carson S — Google review

Rooms are clean and comfortable with modern furnishings. Nevertheless, the hotel is surrounded by casino. And casinos have little tricks to try to keep you on the gaming floor, for example, there are no maps of the premises, no pathfinding kiosks. The TVs in the rooms have a guide channel but they’ve left off programming info, they’d rather you not be watching TV. And you know they hide clocks on the game floor. Parking will fill up late on weekends. There are very few shops here, the jewelry vendor is most notable. And relatively few dining options in 2023. Still, I had a nice visit here, and will not hesitate to come back for shows and special events.

Trooper L — Google review

Can’t find the main entrance. The signage sucks. We checked in super late (2:30am) only to be woken up just past 9am by house keeping trying to clean our room. Knocked 3 times and I answered and she said I suppose you have a late checkout? I said when is checkout? she said 11! I said that’s in nearly 2 hours what are you talking about. She left after ruining my sleep. You need better communication with the front desk I think. I told the front desk and she didn’t seem to care. The phone in room didn’t work either. Was in charge but wouldn’t hold a charge to call downstairs so I had to use my personal device.

Bb K — Google review

Booked 2 queen bedrooms on the Forum Tower (Luxury River view rooms) for the first weekend in August. Location was great since it was connected to the casino for a couple friends attending the poker tournament. Room itself was nice, large and spacious. Service level however, was disappointing. We requested rooms on high floor with nice views of the river but was assigned rooms on a low floor with a maintenance deck and a big smoke stack right outside the window blocking the view. We arrived and tried checking in just 10 minutes before 3pm (check in time) but was not allowed unless we pay an extra fee to check in 10 minutes early...doesn't make sense at all! To avoid paying this extra fee, we had to line up again after 3 pm when everyone was trying to check in at the same time. Also, when checking in, I asked if there were connecting rooms available (we booked 2 rooms) and was assured no problem and the staff confirmed we were assigned connecting rooms. Well, they were not connected at all once we arrived at the rooms. Anyway, we didn't bother to walk all the way back to Registration to clarify since we were only there for 1 night and simply accepted what was assigned. Honestly, I rather be told up front that no connecting rooms available than being reassured that they were and was assured the views are great but none of this was true when we got to our rooms. For the price paid for these luxury rooms, we expected to be better but somewhat disappointed with the service.

Jeff K — Google review

Visited from Detroit. Stayed on a Monday night for best price. Comfortable rooms. Was a bit of a maze to walk inside from the parking garage but when we were leaving someone tipped us that it's easier to just walk across from outside to the lobby rather than snaking thru the casino. One person in our party was 19 and had to show both his ID and US passport to security when going into the casino so make sure to have them both ready and on your person for that. Other than that our stay was a fun night and enjoyed the table games and some slots. Dinner at Legends was great too. Hope to be back soon.

Dawn Marie Johnson 4147 the Janitor made our whole entire night. She was by far the light of our entire night. She was so sweet and caring and does her job so well. She is the best. There was not a spec of dust on anything on the floor and she scrubbed the Cosmos floor with passion. I have never seen such a dedicated worker in my life. If I could promote her to Manager, I would without question. What an amazing experience, Thank you Dawn!!! :)

Stayed here while we were in town visiting friends with our your son.The rooms are beautiful and the beds are quite comfortable, we also had a panoramic view of Detroit which at night you are surprised by how nice it actually is.when we came to put our son to bed though we we’re extremely disappointed to find out they no longer offer room service, nor are you allowed alcohol in your rooms.You can go downstairs and get food and bring it back up to your rooms but not alcohol and they banned bringing alcohol from outside. So when the wife and I wanted to relax, wind down and just have a couple drinks and watch a film while our son slept we just couldn’t.The TV’s also don’t have the ability to cast or airplay from your phone so unless you want to pay their ridiculous prices for rentals you are stuck with standard cable TV which was fine 15 years ago, but not quite what you would expect from a “luxury” hotel in a suite none the less.Keep that in mind before booking or going upstairs for the evening.

Me and my husband had celebrated our 4th year anniversary. Our first time visited there and we had a amazing time. Very friendly staff and helpful. The room was amazing but the mattress you can tell was a little worned down and needed a new mattress. Another thing we didn't like was you have to pay 24 resort fee per night. But overall it's a pretty good hotel

Spent two nights there. The room was nicely decorated and clean. It was also very quiet and all the staffs we encountered were absolutely wonderful to us. We would recommend the hotel to anyone wishing a great place to stay. Only drawback it's proximity to the slots.

Just stayed our first night there and enjoyed it. Initially finding our way to the self-park lot was a little more challenging than expected, but I probably have to own that myself.Once we got inside the building the staff was friendly and helpful, but not all that accurate, in helping us navigate to the various places we had to go.Room was spacious, with a very large bathroom, and also had a great view of the river. On check-in we made reservations at Nero's steak house in the property. That was pretty smooth given that they were busy due to a Russell Peters show in the the building for the night in question. However, when we called Nero's to adjust the reservation we weren't showing up in their system. That lead to a few anxious moments, but they were still able to squeeze us in, in the end.Enjoyed some time in their pool area too. Spa is currently closed (still due to COVID, I believe), so that was a bit disappointing.Overall good experience though. Will return.

To be fair it deserves a 4.5 star rating taking into consideration the following. Most likely Caesar's Windsor is the nicest hotel in town. Our room was on the 20th floor and we had a nice view. The beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. The bathroom was also nice. I should have taken more photos. The town itself has little to do so I'm happy we opted to staying at the casino hotel. The parking is free but there is a resort fee. The service in the casino itself was a little slow to get a gaming card because they needed to amalgamate the card with other properties I had visited in Vegas so that's the only negative thing that happened. Not the fault of the employees, but waiting half an hour for a card is a little much. Food at breakfast was self service but the prices were reasonable and the food was good. The staff all over the casino were nice and helpful.

Finding the valet parking for the hotel was not easy. Hint…. Its the last sign that just says valet. But check in was fast n easy. The rooms are beautiful. The walk to the elevators though … I will be having them come get my bags. I think it was because I had river view. The river view rooms are spacious. Clean with the tub n shower separate. Super windy out so we stayed on site for dinner. Lots of options.

I was denied entry Saturday morning because I had a backpack containing my breast pump. I was told I would need to leave my bag in the car and pump in the parking garage. I ended up just leaving. My understanding is that this isn’t legal seeing how it is a medical device. Is this allowed? I would like to know for next time

I would only recommend this place if you have lots of money. Don't trust online booking, you get redirected to a 3rd party that adds another service charge of $139. I then was put in the wrong tower and while moved me to a new room they added $200 more to my credit card without telling me. And because I didn't want to be further gauged by valet parking I had to park off site and carry my baggage across the street. The rooms are basically just a cleaner version of any hotel with the same plastic cups. No closet even in the room I was in. I gave the extra star only because they were able to move me while still claiming to be fully booked.

The spa is my favorite part, the indoor pool with views of the river is great! Awesome gym, sauna and private showers, they thought of everything!! Highly recommend. Great for a one night getaway to a “foreign” country lol. They also have a list of awesome shows revolving through. Also the buffet is amazing and very vegan friendly with many Mediterranean options. Easy in and out across the border.

Visited to see the Tiffany Haddish show; booked 2 nights. Check-in took over 15 minutes based on some silly tiered member program.Room was nice and updated, but a bit dusty. The view was good, however, our room had a conjoining door and we found the noise disturbing - called reception at 9:30 pm to request assistance, but the employee Chris refused to address the issue. As he stated that it was not yet 11 pm. By 1 am our neighbors were screaming profanities and asked to leave the hotel. We were woken again by 3:30 am. The hotel staff did nothing to remove these patrons, not address the noise complaint.The food at Spage was delicious and the portions were generous. We found the resort very walkable, but staff are not well trained to address questions. Their overall service was far too casual. Don't allow the valet parking to convince you that self- parking is inconvenient; it's easy and leads directly to all amenities - save the $20 per day.

Hosts do not follow through with offers/accommodations, granted they left the company before we got there. Aggressive valet experience, filed a complaint, still no resolution. What was supposed to be a great weekend visit, turned out to be just not that. Lots of people holding machines with jackets/coats, one lady had 4 machines blocked and after multiple requests, nothing was done??? Will not revisit, regret going there.....zero resolution to anything....

Rooms at Caesars are very clean, comfortable, and spacious. I found the bed to be especially comfortable, and I slept great. Dinner at Spagos restaurant is amazing. Great food with reasonable pricing. I forgot my corkscrew at home, and the front desk sent a bellhop up right way to open my wine. I could not have asked for better service!Beautiful location along the river.

Decent casino & resortAs a firstimer here. I had a overall good experience. The casino is very big and a bit confusing to find you way around. but eventually you will find your way around. The pool and jacuzzi was nice and relaxing. The gaming floor is large and have plenty of machines and table games. the rooms are clean and spacious. I recommend here.

The hotel and casino were both great. Lots to see and do. We enjoyed the Cosmos on our first night. The live music was great. Also took in the Legends, which was perfect for watching the Olympics.One of the highlights of our stay was dinner at Spago. Wow! I know we booked our table a few weeks in advance, and I am so glad we did. The food was fantastic, and our server was dynamite.

Desk assistant manager has a terrible attitude. We ended up canceling our room because she was so very rude. The hotel staff then charged our two different cards a debit card and credit card on file for the full amount. When asked about it they just said it would come back on our card. But we would be without those funds for 3-5 days is unacceptable. I will not be returning to this place and will spend my money elsewhere.

So many levels of mediocrity.To start, despite having reserved a jr suite 3 months in advance, one wasn’t available when we arrived. After 30 minutes they gave us a different room that was not the same standard. It was only several hours after I complained that they agreed to charge a rate lower than the jr suite rate. Most quality hotels would usually upgrade you. Or at least offer a free meal or to waive parking charges. Nothing was offered as compensation.The room was fine for what it was. Nice view. Minimal amenities. No actual glassware so when you try to make tea in the plastic cup, the cup warps and melts. That can’t be healthy.Also, it took over 30 minutes to have water delivered to our room even though it was early evening.

It was our first time staying here. We loved the overnight stay . The Room was spotless. The view overlooking Detroit absolutely stunning.The only problem we encounter was the unprofessionalism of Caitlyn the supervisor when checking in at the hotel (young, petite with blonde long hair).We got there just after 6 pm when check in time was at 4pm. Our room was not ready which was no big deal. The receptionist was super nice and tried to help by calling his supervisor. She comes over without an apology and says- well I don’t know when your room is going to be ready, the housekeeping is not answering. So we don’t have a room for you right now. We were kind of in shock as we already prepaid for it. Then went on to offer 2 queen bed room instead of the king size bed we paid for. My husband was like that is not what we paid for, we’re married we want a king bed, we’re not sleeping in separate beds.Her answer was - well I gave you an option so I don’t know when you will get the room you paid for 🤦‍♀️. Very unprofessional for a supervisor, she had no idea what she was doing. That is too big of a place for someone who can’t handle it. She is the only reason i gave 4 ⭐️.Luckily the manager came (we didn’t even call for her) boom solution found. Our room was ready in 1 hour which was fine as we only drove from Michigan for a weekend out and had time to eat dinner before settling in our room. Other than that’s small issue the stay was great.

Hotel was amazing and very nicely decorated. Our room was great, very clean and modern and the beds are very comfy. My husband was there for a conference at the Augustus tower. The casino was great, it's 2 floors, so lots of slots and tables to choose from. The gym and pool were awesome. The food and drinks were very good and everyone was so nice and helpful from the beginning to the end!

We visited the casino (our first time) and had dinner at Legends.The casino is very clean and staff is very friendly.Legends food was good. Prices were reasonable. Our waiter was super nice and efficient.Edit: after looking at the reviews, I noticed the Casino only seems to respond to positive reviews and does not address the poor reviews. It's seems the biggest complaint is the check-in desk and housekeeping. I'm wondering if our planned return visit for a night may be a mistake. 🤔

If you're looking for some fun in Windsor, Caesars is a must stop. The casino floor is clean and spacious with hundreds of slot machines and plenty of table games to chose from. The Colosseum event space is also great, we saw Bad Friends and it was hilarious. Highly recommend stopping in at Ariius nightclub as well.

Noah C — Google review

Two towers with rooms. Right now (early 2024) Augustus Tower is nicer. The views of the ships on the river with the Detroit skyline beyond are great. The casino itself has everything you want. My one lament is the music, which is typical of the Buffalo-Cleveland-Windsor corridor: 1970s retreads (which the locals just can't get enough of no matter how many times they hear, apparently; definitely a regional thing).Nero's steakhouse is worth getting a reservation or, if you luck out, you might score a seat at Nero's bar.Outside, taking a walk along the riverfront is a great way to get some sun and fresh air while enjoying the views.Parking is free and easy, but be prepared to walk because you have to cross the property to get to the Augustus Tower. Alternatively, the valet gives you the option of eliminating the walk (nice attendants and responsive service).

Came here for a show at the Coluseum. Love the entry re entry if you want to go get food before a show. Guest services and security are all very helpful.Bars move fast and have a nice selection.Seats are set up nice to face the stage with 2 big screens to show the audience farther away.I recommend express parking next to the valet and very fast retrieval.Clean casino floor. A handful of food options but leave some time if you're going to a show.

Don't order a drink at the caasino 2 drinks cost $40. Also dont push the button on the slot machines for service you wont get your drinks for over an hour. We had to give up waiting and just go order some from the lounge. The rooms were very nice and clean too and we did have a great time overall.

Gorgeous! We had a stunning view of the river and all the happenings down by the water.The rooms are beautiful and spacious.The casino was a bit of a ghost town, and the payouts weren't very good. I wasn't there to gamble, though, so it was more of an observation.

Don't trust this casino at all. The person sitting next to me playing the Little Shop of Horrors slot machine was on a hot streak and was getting bonus rounds and big wins. Two "slot people" came over and asked if they could pull a "report" on the payout history of the machine. They told him it wouldn't impact his play at all and that it would just take a second. Then they rebooted the entire machine. How is that not an interruption to play? They have 1,738 machines on that casino floor and they needed to pull that report from that exact machine at 8:00 pm on a Friday at the moment someone just happens to be playing and winning on it. After seeing that I definitely don't trust them enough to play here again.

Very nice hotel. Parking is free. I do not recommend carrying your bags across the sky bridge between the parking lot and the casino to get to the hotel. It's way too long of a walk. I would either valet or walk down the steps into the garage to the street and go into the hotel lobby... it's a much shorter walk.I was there for a conference, I am not a gambler. The casino though is huge and look like it had a ton of different games to play. There are multiple restaurants, sports bars in the facility and a Tim Hortons. It's a little pricey, especially with the $25 per day resort fee.The rooms were very nice. Clean, well maintained.Overall, it's a very nice hotel, especially if your intention is to go to the casino.

I can tell you that this casino has zero respect for their players. They don’t care how much money or trine you spend in their establishment. We are regular players (seven star) and even though we spend more time there than their staff, we get treated very poorly. I highly recommend going anywhere else, Detroit is minutes away… And they have 3 casinos that treat their players so much better!!! So steer clear of Caesars Windsor, and go elsewhere!!! Also found a dirty fork with cake icing on it in our room, next to the bed. Gross,

Beautiful casino. Clean, stylish rooms. We actually had an accessible room (we didn’t know until we entered the room) and it was very spacious and had a walk in shower and a bathtub. We did not have a view, we where given an option, but we decided on a no view. No big deal to us.The only complaint I have is that we entered the casino/hotel enter an e through the parking garage with suitcases, bags etc and we had to walk too far as in threw the casino up an escalator to get to the check out. Then back all the way through again. No big deal but luggage carts or something should be offered. Our bags were heavy and I can only imagine elderly people having to do the same.But we are very happy with our stay and we decided to come back in a months time.

Love, love the casino, but when I am offered a free night stay, I expect FREE!! I had to pay $28.00 "resort fee". That is not a FREE room. I don't even know what the resort fee is for. I figured spending money in the restaurant, bar and casino should qualify for an actual FREE room.Also if you want to valet, even if you are staying in the hotel it is now $25.00. I opted not to, but this involved lots of walking from parking garage to casino.

Cheryl O — Google review

Pretty poor experience.The rooms are run-down, and not clean at all. Carpets are dirty, soap stains in the shower and tub, hair on the floor and mattress, water stains and cracks in the ceiling, moldy smells coming from the bathroom sink... Renovations are needed. The rooms have fairly thin walls, with sound travelling between them, make sure you bring earplugs unless you like listening to someone else's music. If you plan on using the free hotel parking, you might have a hard time since the Casino guests also use it.All in all, it's disappointing for the price, it used to be better but that was years ago. You might want to shop around and go somewhere else.

Sights & Landmarks

The Comerica Park is a baseball stadium located in Detroit, Michigan. It was built in 2000 and is the home of the Detroit Tigers. The stadium features a 50-foot Ferris wheel and diverse food court.

I am a huge fan of the Detroit Tigers and baseball in general. Each time I come to Comerica Park I leave with everlasting memories. The prices of food and drinks is a little high but coming to a game is the best experience ever. Come out to a game and support your Tigers!

Absolutely wonderful stadium!! We came here for the first time this past weekend to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert and it was absolutely wonderful! VERY clean, very good security, comfortable seating, very easy to find sections for seating too. Super friendly staff at all the food stands and nice fresh tasty food. By far one of the best stadiums I've been to! The concert was well put together and went wonderfully. The security check before entering was smooth and very fast and friendly. Even very easy to find parking areas all over by the stadium as well! All in all a really great experience. Highly recommend attending a concert or ball game here!

This is a beautiful park and a great baseball experience. The layout is great, beautiful Tigers at the home plate, and not a bad seat in the hose. We got to enjoy Beach night and Friday night fireworks which was a great 15 min show.+Visual effects of video board were amazing!-Audio in the stadium could be better. We could hear all of the mids/highs, but could not hear any of the bass. Need to get some better subs in the upper decks!

Great atmosphere at this park (was my. Buddies favourite of the 3 we visited this trip). Parking was cheap and easy... Leaving not so much. Food and vendor options were cool - and you could see Ford Field which was neat. Nice view from where we were sitting. Overall great time.

Comerica is certainly one of the most original ballparks, still has a newer feeling, but with lots of great food options and things to see and do. It’s certainly family friendly, as there are amusement park rides inside the park. Lots of upscale restaurants too. We sat in section 120 which avoided the sun for the entire duration of the game (note the sun doesn’t set until 9 pm during the summer). All and all, a different, but fun ballpark!

Very nice park, been to over half the current MLB parks and lord knows how many of the old parks. This is a nice park. Friendly staff, not a bad seat. I got a great seat for $28. Beer, hot dogs, and Major League Baseball...what else can you ask for in America?

I have no complaints. I do, however, have a confession 🤦‍♀️. I'm not a huge baseball fan. 😬 This was my first major league baseball game. We were invited by friends so we weren't going to turn the opportunity down. I felt like the stadium was very nice, clean and a lot of food and drink options. Obviously not without draining your pockets, but that is expected at any sports venue.

The stadium is great. I will say if you are going for handicap friendly seating, try to stick to the terrace level. They are about $56 a person but put you in better seats that are more accessible.

Comerica Park is so far the best baseball field I have been to. They have so many great food options including the classics like hot dogs and sausages, along with fair food like corn dogs and elephant ears, and others like tacos, nachos, pizza, ice cream, and more. There were a lot of people there but I never felt crowded. The seats have a lot of space around them. It was a very fun and comfortable experience. Got to stay for Friday night fireworks and there was such a fun and exciting vibe as they were getting ready for a decently long show!

Comerica Park is an exceptional baseball stadium that seamlessly combines modern amenities with a sense of tradition. The vibrant atmosphere, excellent seating options, and impeccable views of the game make it a premier destination for sports enthusiasts. The variety of food choices, including local favorites, adds to the overall experience. The park's design and cleanliness contribute to a welcoming environment for families and fans alike. Whether you're a die-hard baseball fan or simply seeking a fantastic outing, Comerica Park offers an unforgettable and enjoyable time at the ballpark.

You can’t beat this ballpark! There’s SO many food and beverage options, and the staff is helpful and friendly. I love the layout and it just makes sense. Sitting on the 300 still gives you a great view of what’s going on, and there’s plenty of F&B options way up there.I was impressed by the upgrades, including the Miller Lite party area and the variety of bars. And the prices are affordable, too, at least when it comes to F&B. The merchandise is still overpriced, IMO. The city connect activations were a nice touch, too!

Not impressed with the Kiosk system. People INSIDE were Great- people At Ticket windows, rude as can be, AS IF they're Doing You a favor getting paid to sell or accept tickets. Poor setting for concert- concrete baseball bleachers. Prices are Disgusting- 8.95 for a Hot Dog on rollers. 8$ for a 16oz water. ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING AREA. Not enough restrooms, vendors, nada. We went. We enjoyed the show- from damn near the furthest row away from the stage. No Regular beer, All Craft or Light. We agreed, we don't care to go back. It was an experience we'd never had, and, neither care to go a second time. Not even for a ball game.

It's a nice ballpark and although it seats over 41000 feels like a small ball park. The park is athletically pleasing and has great team details on the facade. It's a great ballpark to visit if you are a fan of the team or just enjoy baseball in general.

Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan offers an unforgettable experience for baseball fans. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was immersed in the excitement and energy of America's favorite pastime.The stadium itself is impressive, boasting modern amenities and a vibrant atmosphere. The seating was comfortable, providing excellent views of the field from every angle. The cleanliness and well-maintained facilities added to the overall positive experience.Comerica Park's location in downtown Detroit is convenient, surrounded by a lively atmosphere and ample parking options. Exploring the area before or after the game added to the overall enjoyment of the outing.

Plenty of room in seating areas, you don't feel crammed in like most Ballparks or Arenas. Decor is too overdone. Too many Tiger statues on the Facade and Merry Go Rounds on the inside make it feel like a Circus atmosphere. I did enjoy that you can walk around the entire ballpark and keep an eye on the game from the corridor. Statues and famous player numbers in Left Field bleacher is a neat idea.

Kenneth ( — Google review

Had a great family night out! The Tigers didn't win, but it was a fun game anyway! Even if you aren't that into baseball, it is a great place to go for the food, activities for the children and great atmosphere! They do have a purse/backpack and diaper bag rule now, so be aware of that. You can't bring in purses or bags over a certain size, but they do offer complimentary bag check! I gave them my bag, and they took my name and phone number and gave me a ticket to bring back to retrieve my bag after the game. You can go pick it up at any time, of course, and you have up to 30 minutes to go get it once the game is over. It was a very efficient and smooth process! In all, it was a great evening and game. The food is always great and there is always something for everyone, just make sure you bring enough money. It's by no means super expensive, but not super cheap either. You do get what you pay for by way of quantity and quality, so that is a plus! In all, I can't wait to go back!

Amos, my man! Is the best server at any stadium, anywhere, ever. The stadium is nice, great views, fans were nice for both teams. As a Green Bay Packer fan, I've seen some rowdiness over the years, but the past two years have been a pleasurable experience both at Ford Field and here at Comerica. Prices weren't as bad as other ballparks around the league. I might just go up for a game when my team isn't in town.

My wife and I LOVE to go see the Tigers play baseball. I started watching them at the old Tiger Stadium on Michigan and Trumbull. Today they play at Comerica Park. This a premium venue with anything you could ever want. Just be prepared to pay for it. We usually park in the Ford Field ramp because access to I75 is easy. Be ready to have a great time. The new scoreboard is huge.

This used to be my favorite place to go. But this time before it's great, it's actually uncool. We booked our tickets online, we got in, - but were not able to go to our seats. Understandable, - it was raining and the game was delayed. Everyone needed to be undercover (because of lightning and heavy rain).Once you're inside the venue you can't re-enter. Very much of a downside if you have kids. Often you forget something in the car (girlfriends or kids phone), or you need to medicate.Also smokers have to survive without smoking for several hours. (The smoking section has been permanently closed ) They will not accommodate the customer, won't create a smoking section or even let people re-enter after they like to smoke outside.We spent for 2 of us close to 1k for for just this day, including tickets, parking, food, drinks and updated fan attire - we like to support,The drinks are expensive....... You can buy for sure a 12pack for the price of one beer here, - a water bottle is half the price, impressively similar is a cocktail .....After all, we'll not be back unless we get invited - but even then I'll warn my friends about the smoking

Went to see the Cardinals play in Detroit at Comerica Park, located in downtown Detroit. Solid park. I love a ballpark downtown. It’s a modern stadium with two iconic features… the tiger statues and the outfield fountain.Loved all the marketing using the D. I sat in the lower bowl with club access. The club was fantastic and offered elevated food for a ballpark like salads and wrap. Oh and probably my favorite thing was the Baseball Ferris Wheel.Glad I went. Cards lost. :o(

A bucket list item is to get to every baseball stadium. Finally got this one marked off. It was a neat park. Definitely not in my top favorite though. I thought the Ferris wheel was super cool. The food was definitely lacking.

This is a very cool sports venue. Being smack dab in the middle of Detroit makes this such an energetic areas. The park itself is filled to the brim with things do, places to eat, and shop. It’s also surprisingly clean. Lastly so many other fun events and places nearby.

I visited Comerica Park for the first time, and it was so much fun! We parked in the underground garage across the street, which was very accessible with an elevator to street level. There was a lot of walking, but the stadium had ramps to the second level. There was so much to do, in addition to the game. The Rally Cats were so much fun to watch and got the crowd hyped up. There were steps up to the food court, but I didn't look for a ramp. I'd suggest the nachos or shwarma rather than the hot dogs, but the food court was clean and not too crowded.

Attended Night Nation Run at Comerica Park. One word PHENOMENAL. The event and the park. The park is clean with lots of food choices and drink options. A bonus is great views of the city and clean bathrooms. Great Job Detroit!

Went to Tigers game. It was so much fun. Downtown Detroit is beautiful at night. Friday nights, they have a fireworks display. Beautiful show, some fireworks I'd never seen before.

Comerica Park was a pretty nice ball park. Originally from St. Louis and Busch Stadium is nowhere near as nice as this. So much room to walk around a lot of food choices. There could be a few more bathrooms but all in all a really great place to visit.

I've been to every MLB park to watch a game. I wouldn't say Comerica is the worst one but it definitely is just OK. Too many amusement park rides. This is baseball, not an amusement park. I'd like to see the money go towards something baseball related i.e. Displaying around the league scores SOMEWHERE in the park. The ushers this year are much improved. They used to be almost the rudest in the bigs but something happened over the off season. They're actually decent now. Good job. The ball park is clean, the food is good and they have a nice beer selection. Some of the BEST soft pretzles in the bigs. Also, do more on the field activities beteeen innings. Races, games etc. That's a fan favorite all over the country. And for God's sake, if you're only drawing less than 10k fans...let people sit in the good seats for the last inning or 2. My lord!

Lance L — Google review

Lines to get in were long, with limited metal detectors. I do appreciate they had a few at least. The food options were minimal and everything we had was awful. Nice jersey giveaway upon entrance. Tigers lost. Fans were cool. Stadium seems small compared to some others.

Titus — Google review

My daughter and I went to the Tigers vs. St. Louis Cardinals games on May 1, 2024. We had a great time. It was her first professional baseball game.We walked around and saw the carousel and different statues that were there.If you buy food and drink, be prepared to spend about $100 on 2 people... plus souvenirs. I forgot my hat and had to buy a new one while I was inside. The hat was about $30. The cheapest food item I saw was $6. And that was for a bottle of water.Overall, we had an amazing time watching them play!!!

Melissa H — Google review

What a great stadium! My family and I were up from Indiana and attended our first Tigers game. Let's see where do I begin. This stadium does have a bag/purse policy. So if you plan on attending a ball game, make sure your purse is a wristlet 4 x 6. We had no issues bringing my granddaughter stroller in. It was actually a breeze going through security. The decor of Tigers 🐅 displayed in and around the ballpark was great. This ballpark is very kid friendly. My granddaughter enjoyed riding on the carousel. The 💺 were comfortable compared to some other stadiums.

Absolute beautiful park with a lake, historic buildings and plenty of places to sit and relax or walk if you choose. Right beside a beautiful botanical garden that is free, as well. Highly recommend.

Casey M — Google review

I enjoy going here, but what I don't like is mostly having to pay to get in for events, and having to walk miles from one area to another, or having to drive from one area of the park to another just to go to events. This last time I went, my husband had a work event at one side of the park, and there was another even towards the middle of the park. I wasn't about to walk with 4 children on a 90°day to a part of the park where they are charging people for food or drinks just so my kids could have some fun. The area where my husband's work event was held, had tables, garbage cans, free food, free drinks, swings, and a slide so we were content where we were and stayed there.

Great walking path. I like that there's a little wooded walking area off the main track. You can take it all the way back past the little secret lake to the firefighting school if you go far enough.I also like walking around the 'main lake' little old time village set up and across the covered bridge.I've never been to the baseball diamonds so I can't comment on them.

Lovely park to take a walk in with a paved trail that goes around the perimeter of the park. There is also a dirt trail that weaves through the woods if you are feeling more adventurous. The library is located on the park grounds which is also a bonus. The picnic tables by the pond offered a pretty view of the historic village as well as the many ducks and geese gathered there.

I took my soon to be wife here. It was a beautiful park. There is a baseball field and a super nice track to walk around? There is also a beautiful pond with a nice path to walk around with nice scenery. There is bridges and and old church, old train cars and so many perfect places to take pictures to remember a wonderful day in the park. You can also catch and release fish in The pond for this who like to spend time with there kids. But it’s the perfect place for a picnic or for a first date. Or even just a good place to clear your head and enjoy a nice day. There is also a petting zoo connected that is open on the weekends for the kids. So if your bored and in the area check out this beautiful place and enjoy the day and relax.

Thomas R — Google review

The park itself is gorgeous. Lots of space. Bathrooms were a little dirty but for the time of day we were there it's not too surprising. The edges of the 11v11 soccer fields are sloped, making it harder for the players to keep the ball in bounds. However, if you're there just to enjoy the nature of the park you won't be disappointed.

Museums

The Detroit Institute of Arts is an art museum located in Detroit, Michigan. It was founded in 1885 and has since grown to house over 100 galleries with a range of American and international art on display from ancient to modern eras. The Beaux-Arts building was designed by Paul Cret and quickly became the temple of art, adding two wings in the 1960s and 1970s.

The Detroit Institute of Arts was an absolutely amazing experience! The exhibits, architecture, and artwork are top notch and this is one of my favorite museums I have ever visited! We spent all day here and I feel like we still didn't even scratch the surface. If I could change anything I would have planned to come right at opening so we could experience this for the entirety of opening! You will be amazed at the beauty of this museum, I highly recommend it!

This place is beautiful! The staff is so wonderful and friendly and helpful. You can buy tickets once you get there but if you buy them in advance, it goes faster. Elevators and stairs, bathrooms on every floor. 3 floors total. Price of tickets aren't bad either. Went to the Van Gogh exhibit, but will definitely be back to see the rest.

Jessica B — Google review

Good museum with a variety of collections. A variety of collections from across the world. Some areas are better represented than others in terms of history of the art from the region.Some interactive bits across the galleries for young patrons. A few more interactive moments would be nice, and would provide more talking points for groups who visit the galleries.Asia, Africa, and Hellenistic collections are good introductions to the arts. The gallery on Egypt showcases select pieces, and makes for a great introduction to the culture. Native American section represents art pieces from the south, central and north America. Residents of Wayne county have free entry on select days at the museum.

Durga K — Google review

There are so many exhibits to check out. It's nice to wander in and out of rooms filled with ancient to modern items. It's a really nice collection. Make sure you have about 4 hours to see everything and grab a bite in the cafe. Lots of decent options to chose from. Parking across the street is convenient and only $7.

Amber P — Google review

This place is amazing! You could spend an entire day here or 5. So much to see and learn, so much diversity, I love it. I only wish they had some Rembrandt’s on display. Other than that, beautiful building and such an amazing collection of art. An FYI: don’t bring any food, drinks or even a bottle. If you do, they’ll let you empty your bottle outside and keep the bottle in the lockers in the front before you enter. Lockers are free and accessed by pin, so no key to track.

Joel C — Google review

There is just so much to see. I could spend days just staring at the artwork. Mind you I am partial to art. We went and they had a car exhibit and they were so unique. Also seeing a real life van Gogh painting was really cool. I'd definitely go again. They also had art from Mexico, middle east, native Americans, Japan and Korea. I love international art so it was fun to look at everything. Also seeing a real life mummy was really cool but creepy to think there's a skeleton in there.

Excellent customer service from Cameron at the entrance, which was the start of an amazing experience of artwork displayed from many eras and with famous artists and different cultures. We were there for a couple of hours and did not complete a fulltour. Looking forward to coming back. The museum’s store was full of many wonderful collections of jewelry, clothing, tableware, books and more. I thoroughly enjoyed the time there. Also the food was amazing from the courtyard.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit! They have so many things to look at you can really be here for hours, Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb have free entry which is a plus.

Large museum with lots to see. The exhibits don’t flow very well, so take a map to be able to follow your path if you want to make sure you see everything. Very cool cafe inside, museum architecture itself is interesting. Weekend day was not too crowded in the afternoon which was nice. $14 for adult, $8 if you’re a student, reasonable prices.

Incredible museum! This place is huge. We came right at 9am and it was great, quiet and not a lot of people until later on. It’s beautiful here and so much to see. We spent about 3 hours and still wasn’t enough to get through the whole place. The little cafe is beautiful, great spot to grab a coffee and snack while taking a break. The history here is amazing, everything is placed beautifully and tons of information. Have to come back for a full day to really take our time and enjoy!

Fantastic art museum with friendly staff members! Upon entering, I was met by an enthusiastic staff member who explained the layout of the museum to me, and then struck by the majestic Great Hall. But the highlight lied beyond the great hall - seeing Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry Murals in person was such an awe-inspiring experience! There were staff members stationed in the area, one of whom had a great chat with me surrounding my questions about the murals.The Rivera murals was not the only reason that made the visit worthwhile - I found that the museum has quite a comprehensive art collection, not just of Western art movements from medieval to modern times, but also of non-Western art. The African and Islamic galleries were pretty good-sized, although the Egyptian gallery was a bit disappointing. It would have also been nice if the museum put more thought into the re-creations of the cultures' architecture; the current re-creations seemed half-baked with artifacts combined with modern materials.Depite that, the interior architecture of the museum was quite varied and worth seeing for an architecture enthusiast. I liked the modern designs of the stairs and Prentis Court as well as the historic-comtemporary charms of Kresge Court (which very well reflects the identity of the city!).In all, I only had 2.5 hours to spend at the museum and that was only enough for an in-depth visit to about half of the galleries. A jewel and a must-visit in the city!

Andrew Y — Google review

One of the absolute most unique and interesting collections I have ever seen. Not many public art facilities match up to DIA. It can get crowded but the staff is willing to lend knowledge even if you aren't on your. The lady that explained the Diego Rivera mural was the highlight of the day.

I am a huge museum visitor, and this collection is by far one of the best I’ve seen in the US. Not only that, but the courtyards are stunning. I only spent about five hours here and saw maybe 1/3? I recommend visiting it over two days. Enjoy lunch or drinks in the cafe- the flatbread and summer drinks were amazing.All in all, this is one of my top places to visit recently. I highly recommend.

The museum has an amazing and diverse collection. My particular favorites were the Native American, Impressionists, and Modern exhibits. And the gift shop is a collection all by itself! Amazing! I even enjoyed the curry chicken salad at their Cafe.I didn't see everything, and I'll definitely return!

Lori G — Google review

One of the highlights for sure is to see the Diego Rivera mural. This mural is enormous in size and absolutely mesmerizing. This will be my second visit here and I really enjoyed both of my visits. During this last visit I had the opportunity to see a wonderful photography exhibit by James Barnor, this series followed his work from his early days of filming in black and white to his later years of using color. I enjoyed the photos so much I bought his book. I love this museum and will continue to visit it each time I pass through Michigan. Detroit is a fabulous city with much more to offer than expected and this museum is the same. Parking is easy, staff are friendly and helpful, there is a cafeteria and a indoor cafe that feels like you are in an outdoor courtyard. There is a great gift shop, beautiful building, clean bathrooms and many exhibits of all types. Whatever type of art you are interested in they have something that will satisfy! Support the arts and this community and pay a visit here and just down the street check out the modern art museum as well.

Candy L — Google review

A tremendous collection of art pieces from all over the world, covering centuries of different cultures. Very impressive and certainly a “good deal” for the cost of entry.I would knock off 0.5 stars if it were possible, simply because the layout of the rooms becomes very confusing and you may end up missing some exhibits because you almost get lost on the floors.Wish the flow was just a bit better organized…

such a great place! The tour guides are phenomenal. The art is beautiful, the facility is beautiful, and there is so much enriching education to be had, including history! I enjoyed reading about the history here. The displays are well thought out, and there are even ways for the kids to get involved, including a "seek and find" in certain rooms.I took a public tour and it was really engaging and a wonderful way to learn about the museum, the artists, the art, and the story behind it all.I was happily surprised to find out that they have many other programs throughout the week! I am so excited to come back.

Kathryn F — Google review

An impressive place. I heard a rumor, years ago, that the city was thinking of selling off the art in an attempt to raise cash to avoid bankruptcy. I'm very glad that didn't happen.This is a really nice museum! Three floors with exhibits from Native Americans, S. Korea, Africa, South & S.E. Asia, Egypt plus the more expected European (Italian, British & Dutch when I was there (3/21)) works. Marble busts, huge canvases, metalwork, ceramics, masks, beadwork and more.And if you live in the three counties (Macomb, Wayne & Oakland) you get in for free. The parking is $7 across the street.We (my teenage son & I) meandered thru in just over two hours, saw all three floors, but didn't linger anywhere. Kind of a "drive by" viewing experience.Guided tours and school groups were also there on the 1st day of spring.

As a Detroiter, I'm so proud we have this! From the beautiful marble facade outside to the (actually) priceless treasures inside, this place is amazing! Safe and clean with friendly competent staff enhance the experience. It wasn't lost on me that a lot (if not most) of the artifacts we're taken in violence, maybe multiple times through history. So take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices these cultures had to make and be thankful they have been preserved for future generations.P.S. The edged weapons and armor is my favorite! I wish there was more of the battle worn stuff. Looking at ancient contact marks of war, is fascinating.

We visited for the Regeneration exhibition, and when I saw the Academy of Motion pictures who put it together, I knew it would be awesome. The artifacts were fascinating, a lot of history. The DIA is a must visit for anyone local or visitor. All around a wonderful museum.

This is truly a world-class museum. In my particular area of interest, Medieval through Baroque art, the collection is equal to the best. The Dutch and American paintings have few peers. This is an encyclopedic collection, and there are excellent Native American and Asian sections, although the Egyptian and Classical collections are not a strong point. I spent three blissful days here and didn't see everything; I'll definitely be back!

The DIA is one of the true treasures of Detroit.I have been dozens of times and will continue to go every so often.

I spent a great deal of my childhood at this museum and was very excited to bring my family. The Diego Rivera is a must but there are a great many musts, and it is very kid-friendly. They had a cozy coffee cafe in the courtyard and a lunchroom. It is still an amazing collection, impossible to see everything in a single visit, and I am looking forward to returning on our next visit to Michigan.Our visit was on the weekday. We found street parking that was good for 2 hours only. Download the app; you can renew only exactly when the 2 hours is up. Backpacks are not allowed. The front desk directed us to the FREE and secure lockers.The only downside was we had 3 interactions with security; two for being warned that we were too close to an exhibit (?) and the 3rd for leaving out of an exit door behind other patrons only to be told it wasn't an exit. A sign off to the side said "Emergency Exit". Very poorly placed. Oddly enough, I've heard this same complaint from other patrons both friends/family and on Internet reviews.

Lesu C — Google review

What a great museum and the collection is more than great. I so didn’t expect it. First floor with African, Asian etc art with great narrative and stories. Very engaging to read. Also, I loved landscapes by American artists, 2h at the museum was not enough. Will come back! Not to mention an astonishing mural by Diego Rivera. Also, thanks to very polite staff of the museum - made me feel very welcomed.

This place is awesome!! I got a free ticket because I live in Oakland county and they also offer student discounts! There’s lots to see, more than the average day, and the Tiff Massey exhibit rocked! I’ll definitely be back to check out the rest of the permanent collections another time.

Haven't been in years and while visiting Detroit decided to take my daughter for the first time, was not a disappointment. Very well run very well-managed, really really enjoyed some of the surprises of the famous painting and works of art. Definitely will be back... Oh and the Cafe in the middle of the location has improved drastically and the food was fan-freaking-tastic. To be honest I would probably go back again just for lunch even if I didn't want to get through the museum!!!

The price for tickets is very reasonable, I spent more money on food in the cafeteria, then on my admission.

I love how this city has a lot of culture and art. We were visiting and decided to go inside the museum , amazing art pieces and painting. We ate at the cafeteria inside the museum located in the patio and had the greatest time, food delicious as usual in Detroit.

Incredible mix of new and old. Pictures attached are of Tiff Massey’s new exhibition and the extensive Van Gogh collection the DIA has - they put out some of the favorites. The Detroit Industry Murals, Fresco by Diego Rivera are not to be missed! Pictures don’t do them justice come see for yourself!

Museum

Sights & Landmarks

The Motown Museum is a popular tourist attraction in Detroit that tells the history of the recording studio where some of the biggest hits of all time were produced. The museum features displays and exhibits about the development of Motown, as well as artifacts from the hit songs that were made there.

I made it to visit just in time before them closing for renovations. Coming here was such an invaluable experience. I learned so much about important milestones in music and black history. I was in town for work but made a point to come visit and it was super worthwhile. Your admission cost includes a tour and although it’s only an hour, you learn so much. The guides and staff are all really knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I highly encourage experiencing this. It’s a cool and unique experience. The tours are really well done. It was easily the highlight of my trip.

So! My Husband and I went to Detroit in July of 2021 for our 20th Year Wedding Anniversary And to my surprise woke up on the day that I was supposed to go to the museum and it had been shut down due to a flooding no one ever emailed us or warned us of this tragedy! No one ever responded to our calls we even went up to the museum there were people walking around but nobody ever responded to our needs,I was ver disappointed because this is one of the places I wanted to go and it was a surprise from my Husband! We Have Still NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM THE MUSEUM STAFF ARE BEEN REFUNDED OUR MONEY! We Flew in From Texas and Would like to be Reimbursed or Even Acknowledged!!!! I’ll See if This Review Gets Any Response!!!!

Don't let the small front of the building fool you. Inside they have captured true history. Excellent tour, and thank you to the security lady outside as we arrived on a day before they opened. We returned the following day and she greeted us with a warm and friendly smile welcoming us back.

Wow. What an experience. Make sure you book your ticket in advance because this place is ALWAYS busy (we were told and we witnessed)Incredibly curated! The tour guides are highly skilled at sharing the whole story of the space, and are so passionate when doing so.To think we were able to stand in the same space as so many greats gives you goosebumps! The dimes on the candy machine for Stevie Wonder touched my heart.The only thing that needs to be improved is the short film. It is clearly an old recording, but I feel should be refinished and projected on a larger screen. There should also be closed captioning so that it is more accessible.Thank you for a wonderful visit ❤️❤️❤️

**Please Note** this museum is not currently operating, it has begun renovations and for some reason the Google listing does not reflect this. **Edit: they’ve changed it to temporarily closed after I brought it to their attention. Cool. There is fencing around the museum (not shown in picture as I wanted a shot of the building and pushed my phone into the fence) and I had already gotten a ride there before realizing it is not operating tours until next year according to the sign on the door.

My bf and I have been waiting to come to the Motown Museum since he moved to Detroit in Jan 2021. Finally after a year and a half later, Motown Museum undergone some remodeling and we were able to go inside. It was $15 to go on and it was a 30 minute tour. Our tour guide was amazing. She gave us a lot of information and was enthusiastic during the whole tour. She gave us enough time to take pictures at different areas of the museum. We saw Berry Gordy’s actual apartment and saw Studio A which was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. I can’t believe that small room created such amazing music. A lot of priceless history and a must see if you are in the area.

Very, very cool museum that captures the history and essence of Motown music. Our tour guide was fantastic and super knowledgeable which made it an overall interactive and positive experience. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for something to do in the area.

Absolutely phenomenal! The amount of culture and history in this place was mind blowing. The guide did an excellent job telling us about all the history of Motown and my entire family enjoyed the experience. You are literally stepping back in time when you visit this museum. My husband was born and raised in Detroit and had never been here. He thanked me for wanting to go because he loved every second of it. If you’re locals or from out of town and want to learn and see some iconic history, I highly recommend going.

Lifelong goal fulfilled and surpassed! The museum took me back to when I was growing up, the state of the world, goals, dreams, and the music that formed me.❤, loved, 😍 it.People were visiting from other countries and here I was a local who had never been. It's worth the time and money; the tour guides are worth a million.The only improvement that could be made would be secure parking, but maybe that will be added with the improvements that are planned.Well done! 🎶💞🎶❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Would highly recommend visiting the Motown Museum if you get the chance. There is so much history and music to absorb! A lot of the museum has been left how it was when it was a recording studio. We had a great tour guide, Tyra, who made the tour fun and informational. You can't freely walk around the museum, you need to be a part of a tour so it is recommended that you book a ticket in advance online if you can so they don't run out of spots. Make sure you give yourself extra time for parking, there is mostly street parking available.

What an amazing tour! Had the best guide! I had no idea how many incredible artists recorded at Hitsville! I feel so privileged to know and get to see where so many wonderful artists got their start and record so many amazing songs! Thank you!

We didn’t know we should have gotten our tickets in advance because there was a wait of about an hour to take the tour so we will be going back for the tour. The gift shop is very nice and we were able to grab some really nice Motown items before we left! Lots of history here and definitely will be coming back to get the full experience. All the employees there were very nice and helpful!

Darren V — Google review

Visited the Motown Museum for a private event, and it was excellent. The displays are well done and don't try to pack in too much, so much of the museum feels more like visiting the studios in their heyday instead of a "museum." The guides were FANTASTIC. Each brought their own unique style, but all were knowledgeable, fun, and seemed to genuinely enjoy being there. All staff were friendly and helpful. I wasn't on a formal tour, and they struck the right balance of sharing information and letting us view at our own pace. I also appreciated the highlighting of lesser known contributors to Motown's legacy, specifically women. The event itself was well coordinated as well, and the event staff were great. I plan to come back so my family can see the museum as well.

An excellent experience is to visit Hitsville USA and hopefully they you'll catch a good band playing while you're there. I don't know the bands name - but they showed up and showed out. I really enjoyed them, the audience started dancing on the lawn there were food/ice cream vendors available on-site. In addition, the Motown Souvenir tent had a variety of t-shirts, CD's, Keychains, jewelry and a large selection of other items to choose from. This was my highlight event while visiting Detroit.

Marcia M — Google review

The tour was awesome. We saw the famous Studio A where most of the iconic recordings took place. A lot of stuff in there are actual things from the 60s and 70s when Motown was at it's peak. The tour guides are very knowledgeable. It's very easy to find a parking spot. And they have plenty of photos of the label's legendary artists recording

I've always wanted to visit the Motown Museum and finally got the chance! I didn't like the fact they don't allow photos or video inside during the tour. I recommend you buy your tickets in advance or you'll be waiting a long time to get inside. Tickets sell out fast!

Torrance H — Google review

Well, well, well! I don't even know where to begin! But what I could say is A TIME WAS HAD!!!! If you haven't been GO! I've been wanting to go for many, many years. And I finally hopped on a plane from Chicago to Detroit. And I have absolutely no regrets I'm glad I finally did. I plan on coming back many, many times again. I learned so much from Stevie Wonder on down to Boys to men. The music and vibe make you wanna cry happy tears that's how much you feel it. The staff are really warm and welcoming. You can take all the photos you want....as you can see I did! But they do ask that you do no video recording. It was amazing that this place look exactly as it does on the movies. If you go be sure to pick up something from they gift shop as well. Until we meet again Motown 😘.

We did the Motown Museum tour today ( 4 Jan 24) and it was incredible. The tour guide was knowledgeable and courteous and the artifacts from such an important and iconic location are presented in a perfect manner. From the introductory video to the time you get to spend in the iconic recording studio, you can't help but feel like you're part of history. If you're a fan of Motown music, this is a must visit, top of the bucket list thing to do. I can't wait until the expansion is completed.

MOTOWN MUSEUMDetroit, MichiganAugust 29, 1993 - A friend and I drove my 1959 Cadillac from southern California eastbound on Route 66. After reaching the end of the route we drove on to Detroit to tour the Motown Museum. Absolutely awe inspiring to step foot into that recording studio where all of those classic tracks were born. Now all of these years later, it is so wonderful to see the expansion and renovation taking place. I have lasting memories of our visit and look forward to a return trip. Highly recommended.

Anthony R — Google review

What a fun experience! Take a trip down memory lane and see where it all started. Truly an amazing story of a visionary and the wonderful artists that grew and worked with him over the years. Cost is reasonable, street parking nearby. Staff is courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and very entertaining. Make this a must see when in Detroit!

First time in Detroit and visited the Motown Museum. This was one of the highlights of the trip. Learning about the history of music legends and was fascinating! How the world was changed from this location and it’s humble beginnings. This is true black history excellence!! We are standing on the shoulders of giants. Glad we had an opportunity to visit now and looking forward to returning when the multimillion dollar renovation is completed. We purchased our tickets at the door (student, senior and military discounts offered). There is a gift shop on site and the guided tour is efficient and completed in about one hour (60 minutes). Our tour guide was very lively and engaging. I will give him 10 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you love music, this is a Detroit must stop but get your tickets in advance. If online tickets are sold out, you can arrive early and get same day tickets in person for later in the day. The guided tour was very well managed with plenty of time for questions and photos. You will even have the opportunity to sing and dance in Studio A and the end of the tour. The history of this family business is absolutely inspirational, they were so ahead of their time.

***Must See***I am a Detroiter, so I've been to Hitsville, U.S.A. multiple times. This time, I went for the sole purpose of reporting back to you!Admission is $20 for adults. If you have a Bank of America credit/debit card, it is FREE the 1st weekend of every month! 🙌🏽Parking is free on the street. Utilize both sides of the street.Guided tours only. Groups go every 30 minutes, and it's an hour tour. There is a maximum of 25 people per group. If you are pressed for time, purchase your ticket in advance online. If you have time to spare, just show up! If one group is full, you can catch the next group in 30 minutes.The hour goes very fast. The guide is kind and knowledgeable. It's a great opportunity for all ages. If you are a music lover or a history buff, this is the place for YOU!

Wonderful visit to this museum. Our guide Tyra was the best and made it so much fun! She is the perfect storyteller! Have always been a Motown fan, but never knew the story. Loved every square inch of Hitsville USA and Studio A, every piece of furniture, equipment and accessory and every plaque and album and picture on the wall! Don’t miss this experience-it’s music history! 🎤🎼🎶

The wife and I had an awesome time. Got to see and feel the history that was made during this era of time when record solos were made. I would recommend this tour to anybody who is into Motown. Very cheap, $20/person.

You can’t go to Detroit and not to the Motown Museum! There’s really nothing like it, from the exuding creative energy, the history, and all the really informative tour guides. The tour is entertaining and you’ll leave listening to Motown in a new way. I’ll definitely be back for the expansion.

Angela M — Google review

This is a don’t miss stop in Detroit… buy tickets in advance otherwise get there by 10 am to get tickets throughout the day… the candy machine meant so much to me … since I met Stevie Wonder several years ago… this is a must see historical site for Motown buffs and those who want to learn more about Barry Gordy…

Man when I tell you this tour is a must see! It changed my whole perspective of Detroit! Our tour guide was a wonderful host and the whole experience was mesmerizing. I'll never forget walking into the infamous Studio A. I felt the spirit of every artist that ever created in that space. Truly breathtaking. I recommend anybody that has an interest in music history to check this place out. You will not regret it.

Sedrick M — Google review

Incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were lucky enough to score the last four tickets on a Saturday. If you can, purchase your tickets ahead of time to ensure you secure a spot. The only way to experience the museum is through a guided tour so if you don’t have tickets, you’ll only be able to check out the gift shop. Our tour guide, Monet, was perfect. Friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and even able to crack a smile after a long day of saying the same thing over and over again. The sites and sounds alone are worth any wait you endure or any distance you travel!

Paige C — Google review

This wasn't a planned stop on our trip, but so glad we did it! This small museum is filled with so much history from some of the greatest artists. There are plans to expand the museum in a couple of years, however, I'm so glad we got to experience this one. Our tour guide was fantastic, knowledgeable and fun! We learned about the birth of "Motown," and stood where so many well-renowned artists created some of their biggest hits. We lucked out with getting tickets upon our arrival, but I would recommend buying in advance, since the place was full.

What. A. Blast. This was my 2nd time to the museum, I had visited about 10 years ago and it’s amazing to see this area get so much invested. Our tour guide was excellent and took so much pride in sharing the rich history of motown with us. Every time I visit the museum, I just want to turn up the music!Highly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance and not leaving it to the last minute as it will sell out. There is a box office there if you struggle to use the website.

I haven't been here in several years. The renovations are great! The plans for the new building look really wonderful. Take the family!!! (And play some Motown Music! You know you wanna dance!😄)

Robert D — Google review

This carefully curated museum of the history of Berry Gordy Jr, and his sister, and all of the artist from the Motown record that labels is not to be missed. I recommend getting tickets in advance because they do tours by the hour in small group format. Do not bring any recording devices, although you can take photos in certain areas of the museum. The block has offices that are still used today, formally known as Hitsville, USA. If you are music lover, especially of that era, you will be amazed by all of the history, photos, articles from the 60s and 70s. I was singing the entire time. I was super impressed by the tour guides. This is a must when in Detroit!!!

OMG!!! The Motown exam was amazing!! From the narrative video giving a detailed history with interviews, to the actual tour through the original home, office and recording studio for some of the greatest artists to ever exist!! It felt humbling to walk through the building and see where the famous stars actually walked, sat and whete Barry Gordy blessed the earth with his gifts and creativity. Our tour guide, Jarryl Fordham, was an expertise, funny, and a great historian. You can tell he loves what he does and it made the tour even better. I'm so glad I visited. One of the best tours I've ever done in my lifetime and I'm 47 years old! You will love it.

Tracy A — Google review

100% Great tour! We learned so much h about the Motown vibe and performers from its beginning. Love the collection of items, photos...all the memorabilia available to check out. The best part are the side stories...best was about little Stevie Wonder who was signed at age 11! They kept the candy machine organized and never moved the Baby Ruth so Stevie could slip in a dime and get his favorite!!! There were always dimes on top of the machine as adults and staff wanted to assure he didn't have to pay and could access them easily! Tip: the website didn't show available tickets to pre-purchase so we arrive 15 minutes before they opened. We were able to get in line and were afforded a great tour by a young woman with a terrific voice. She sang for us!!!! Don't miss this piece of important U.S. history. This beautiful country of ours has so many aspects of life... including all walks of people, hard work, some lazy, tragedy, having money, being broke, being discovered, passed over, ignorance, brilliance, leadership, our Heavenly Father, and lack of. The music tells the story best. Thank you for an amazing tour of the story!!!

This multi-use park has a lake for boating activities, a large pool with waterslides, trails & golf.

It’s a very serene and peaceful environment that allows you to get in touch with nature nature trails are just amazing I wish you could use the beach more

I'm so glad I purchased a pass to enjoy the Metro Parks! This is one of my favorites. I tend to park near the spot where you can enjoy the Wind Surfers and walk over to the wetlands park - beautifully preserved and cared for. I saw a Gopher and a Crane enjoying the beautiful day along with me. Perfect natural reset... 😍

Sonya H — Google review

What can I say. I absolutely love this park. Everything about it from the nature trail to the walking trail. I love the amount of nature that there is. The fall colors. Even in the winter which I do not like winter. This park is very pretty. The bathrooms are always clean. The park is open in 365 days a year. Every time I’m here I always try to snap a pic of some thing. If it’s a turtle or a bird or the water or the sunset or the sunrise or the deer or a groundhog, there’s many things. I’ve grown up coming to this park. Over the last couple years I went to all 13 metro parks in Michigan. I do prefer this one the most. These are some of my photos

I love this place! On Saturdays it’s usually super busy but throughout the week it’s not bad. I like that they have the program where you are able to trade in your park passes for an annual pass. I live close by but wasn’t sure I wanted to spend $40 until I knew for sure that I would go often enough to make it worth it! I went 3 times and saved the day passes that I paid $10 and then was able to trade them in & pay $10 for my annual pass! I love going to the beach & reading & I have never felt unsafe here as a young woman. This is my first summer living in the area & so far I have been enjoying visiting the metro park a few times a week! It’s always a fun & lively place. Definitely going to keep coming & hopefully try out the pool, mini golf, and other activities soon!!

The pool was clean, a little cold, but clean. Not to busy for a Friday. Arrived@ 1pm stayed until 5-530 pm. Lifeguards were on duty. Waterslide was fun! There's also rock climbing in the pool. It's $5 per person to enter into the pool area. Bathrooms were decent. Cafe has good food. Definitely would come back.

Sally H — Google review

This is by far one of the best metro parks available in Michigan. I found it by accident- a pool near me charged 36 dollars for my toddler son and I, so we went looking elsewhere. $10 to enter the park on a daily pass- $40 for an annual pass. We have gone so often that the employee in the ticket booth noticed I had a ton of daily passes on my windshield- which equaled $40 so they said I can now get the annual pass when I turn in all of my daily passes, without having to pay another fee. Pool is $5 to get in and free for kids under 30 inches of height. The beach is no extra cost after you pay a daily or annual fee. The beach is beautiful, the water has been warm too. There are concessions available as well. We go at least twice a week now. The splash pad is no extra cost either.

Had my son's 2nd birthday at shelter J. I visited in June and worried about the taller grass around which had not been pictured when I booked the sheltered. There were bugs everywhere, because, you know, June. We had the party at the end of July. It was perfect. There were still bugs but not nearly as many, we didn't have a problem with gnats. The shelter was easily accessible via shuttle and was removed from all the beach activity which could still be enjoyed if you simply took a shuttle back. Our guests loved it too. There was a clean restroom nearby, a slide with a couple of swings,plenty of space to run around for all the kids. I'm thankful we hosted his birthday there.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️A sunlit haven for photographers and families alike!I recently had the chance to visit Lake St. Clair Metro Park at sunrise, and the experience was nothing short of magical. The way the early morning light touches the serene waters, creating an ever-changing canvas of hues, made for some truly breathtaking photographs. If you're an enthusiast of capturing nature's beauty, especially the calm elegance of dawn, this park is a must-visit.But Lake St. Clair Metro Park isn't just for those with a camera in hand. It's evident that the park has been designed with everyone in mind. Families will find it particularly appealing. The waterpark, which caught my eye, seems like the perfect escape for the young ones to cool down and have a blast on a hot summer day. It's spacious, well-maintained, and filled with features sure to elicit joyful shrieks and laughter.And then there's the expansive beach! Stretching out invitingly, the sandy shores offer ample space for picnics, sandcastle building, or simply lounging and taking in the tranquil surroundings.All in all, Lake St. Clair Metro Park serves as a delightful blend of recreational activities and natural splendor. Whether you're an early bird photographer or a family in search of a wholesome outing, this park will exceed your expectations. Highly recommended!

Beautiful area with lots of walking paths and nature. Trails for great outdoors exploring, beaches and lakes for swimming or water sports. There's a nature center that has fish, turtles, and a snake and great information in animals around the area. They also have stuffed birds, owls, and animals from the area. Side note they have nice bathrooms too.Just know that if you don't have a Metropark pass, it's $10/ day. Pack some lunch and snacks there's plenty to explore. Enjoy!

Beautifully maintained property and nice way to beat the heat. The attendant that sold me my day pass was so friendly and sweet. Love that there are so many activities to do once you arrive.The beach is clean and the water is warm. The bathrooms aren’t too far away either. The playground is also nearby so if you have littles they’re not getting bored. As well as a splash pad! If sand isn’t your family’s vibe the splash pad is perfect.

This is my favorite park in the metro Detroit area. The playgrounds are newer equipment that is well maintained, and clean. The bathrooms are the same.

Enjoyed our visit to Metro Beach. Played some putt putt golf and sat by the kid's water park area. Had a surprise visit by the Air Force's Thunderbirds as they passed over the beach many times during their practice runs for the weekend Air Show at SELFRIDGE ANGB. Bought the $40 annual pass, too. It's a great park to visit with plenty to do.

Nice beach! Arrival time can be important. The later it is, the worst the crowd gets. We were enjoying a full day, then a group of marijuana smoking younger ones came with a bright light stand, drinks in hand. It made my friends and I feel a little uncomfortable (granted, they did NOT do anything, but with that big light we suspected it was a social media thing), so we packed up and left. Otherwise, it was a great day! There were a LOT of bugs that day for some reason!)

The nature area though a little small is still a nice place for a walk and allows the opportunity to see deer, owls, nesting water birds, and the usual assortment of small woodland friends! The wetland boardwalk can at times be flooded after heavy rains so plan accordingly should you adventure with rain in the forcast.

I decided to take my baby to the beach. He absolutely enjoyed it. As you can see he jumped in the water for a quick swim. The water was too cold for him..LOL The park is beautiful, we walked along the boardwalk. We stopped at the playground where the kids were playing. In the playground they had a house with free books for the kids. I thought that was really nice, "take a book, give a book''. We walked around a bit people watching. Families riding bikes just enjoying themselves young and old.

This is a decent beach. As an introvert, I liked that there were not many people there. However, considering that we pay $10 for entry you’d think it would be a lot cleaner. Lots of litter and dead fish. The water was pretty warm, so I’m assuming that’s what killed the fish. Definitely not the nicest beach I’ve been to, but I probably will be coming back here simply out of convenience because it’s only a 30 minute drive from me.

Nice park with walking trails, beach views, and many activities for every season.Par 3 golf, mini golf, pool, splash park, beach, picnic areas, sledding hill, cross country ski route in the winter, natural ponds for ice skating, lots of good spots for fishing.There is a nice playground, with sections for children of all ages and an exercise center just outside the fence.Lots of space taken up with parking lots however, and it can get busy on the weekend - especially during summer.On a weekday or during other seasons it can be quite empty, and It’s almost like having the park to yourself

We had a great beach day! Seems like a very nice place. The Beach itself was clean, although water is quite murky. Not a huge deal because I wasn’t expecting it to be clear as Lake Michigan or anything. It was busy but wasn’t wall to was people, so that was great. Looking around it seems like overall a great place for families. They had plenty of picnic tables, places to fish, a splash pad and even a pool. We enjoyed our first visit.

Little overrated park. Massive, but almost nothing to see except sunset. Nothing much organized, not much to do. Ten bucks for entering for nothing. Don't be fooled by the name metropolitan Beach, because I didn't find any beach there. It is a waste of time if you are traveling there that long from the city.

Najmul H — Google review

Wow ! Such a nice lake with so many fun things to do. The beach was clean and was not crowded at all!! We didn’t expect a lot from this place but ended up spending almost 3-4 hours … the play area is great and there is ample parking space …

A nice drive into park. Lots of trails and paths. Busy with many walkers in area. Nice beach access on the n.e. side. Scenic views. Lots of wetland area too enjoy. So many Waterville. We saw the lotus seed pods in various stages of seed development.

Metro Beach just as great as it was 50+ years ago when we were growing up. Folks fishing, picnicking & enjoying the outdoors every day!

This is an amazing park with a lot of amenities. It was our first time visiting this location and let me tell you it was awesome. The beach is amazing. A lot of space available and if you come nice and early you’ll get the best spot! We’ll definitely be visiting again. Highly recommended!!

Museum

Historical landmark

The museum Greenfield Village is located in Detroit and was founded by Henry Ford. The attractions include buildings from America's history that have been relocated to the open-air museum. The land that the museum occupies is also used for forests, rivers, and pasture for horses and sheep.

Great place to spend the day. Cannot see it all in one day. One downside I would say, the trades area was not as big as I remember. Several smaller villages I know of, the have more trades. If there are multiple people entering or you know your going more than once get a membership.

If you like pioneer villages, well let me tell you, this is the Disney World of pioneer villages! It's so big, we couldn't do it all, will have to return someday. We rode the model t and carousel and train and they were so fun. Almost all the houses were staffed with knowledgeable people to explain stuff and answer questions. We had a frozen custard and it was scrumptious. Loved the crafting demonstrations. All the employees are dressed in period clothing and are so nice. Just a fantastic place. Hope to return someday.

This was a nice piece of the Henry Ford Museum/Theme Park, it is a great place to bring your kids and enjoy a day outside. Teach your kids some great American history, eat ice cream and take them for a ride in a model T. Everyone was so nice and seems like a lot of the staff have a piece of history tied to this place. I would definitely recommend a visit here while in Detroit.

Went to Greenfield Village on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and it was amazing! We enjoyed walking around the grounds and going back in time. There are many fascinating buildings that have been completely reconstructed as they were at important turning points in history. For example, we enjoyed seeing the Wright Brothers bicycle shop, Edison's Menlo Park Complex and Henry Ford's home and first factory. Harvey Firestone's farm and the courthouse where Abraham Lincoln practiced law were other notable buildings. Greenfield Village is unique in the world and it's awesome! I highly recommend a visit. Many thanks to the great people working there. We'll be back soon!

Really nice place to spend a day walking around during nice weather. Lots of historical buildings that are reassembled onsite brick by brick. This includes Henry Ford's childhood house, the Wright brothers' workshop, Edgar Alan Poe's house and much more. Also got to ride around in an original working well-maintained Model-T cars with a chauffeur driving around the park, which is almost 100 years old.Really cool place to check out! The only problem may be finding parking. I'd plan on coming earlier during the day to make sure you get a spot closer to the entrance.

We have visited the village twice now and it is still amazing. Where else can you go and see the home where the Webster American Dictionary was finished, the bike shop where the first airplane was designed and built, and the laboratory where the light bulb was perfected. So much history and American culture in one unique village. Loved it. You can see a full review and video on our blog site. Search for Our Haunted Travels.

We splurged this year for the Christmas meal at the Eagle Tavern. I highly recommend it. It was a delicious seasonal meal with great entertainment. I'm so glad that we purchased our tickets in October. Holiday Noah's was even better than ever. We were able to to enjoy the Village all night due to the mild weather. Of course a trip is not complete without roasted chestnuts and a cup of cocoa.

Kristina K — Google review

Attended the Christmas event they offered. We stopped by the Mini Donut Truck inside the park. After consuming the mini donuts, I got the worst food poisoning I’ve probably had in my life. I’m assuming the donuts might have been undercooked, as they had a huge line and most likely wanted to get orders out quick. The village had a few Christmas attractions, but it felt like it wasn’t as eventful as the Halloween one per se. Overall, I would give them another chance to see the village but maybe avoid the mini donuts this time.

Historic Americana everywhere at Greenfield Village. Historical working farm, shops, steam train, and Model T cars. Historically significant buildings and artifacts to see and explore. Very knowledgeable people working each building and sharing historical information with guests. Plan for a full day. Bring your wallet. Highly recommended.

Luke T — Google review

It was fun. I think it's a bit pricey and there wasn't much reenactment. It was good information and a good history lesson. Kids enjoyed it while being good exercise. Glass blowing was awesome.

Nicholas W — Google review

Absolutely loved it. Total package is a little pricey and food price is pretty ridiculous but we loved it. So much history in one place. Ford purchased and relocated historic homes to those 80 acre lot. Beautiful location with Model T for hire that will give you rides around the town as well as a carousel and a steam train.

Love learning about history and it is an awesome place to learn and see what life was like back then. Henry Ford didn't want us to forget our history. My boys loved it too will definitely go back.

Melissa M — Google review

This place is a definite must see! I can not recommend it enough for all those history buffs out there. Most of the buildings are staffed with actors who are very knowledgeable about the history of the village and are eager to share their knowledge with you. Don’t forget to buy tickets for rides on a model t, the train, and the carrousel. Be prepared for a lot of walking. Bring strollers and wagons for the littles.

Laurel W — Google review

I chaperone field trips whenever possible, and I'm glad I did this one! It was my first time here, and it is beautiful. Of course, the prices are ridiculous for most things, but it is defined an experience to take in. Not so much for kids less than 10, but it was interesting to see all the preserved items from the 1800's for me.

What's not to love here!?! This is my most favorite place in the whole world! My most recent visit was for Motor Muster, and it was one of the best days of my life! The Mac n Cheese from Taste of History is just the best Mac n Cheese on the planet! I'm a huge train person, so seeing the train was the coolest thing ever! We did do an emergency stop in the back because the trains breaks malfunctioned, but it was still really fun!! I love all the history there and I even went home with a souvenir, a print from the print shop!!! Can't wait to go again!! If you haven't gone yet, you're missing out!!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat!!

A really great museum in the form of an old world village. There is glass blowing, print pressing, blacksmithing, pottery and so many more shops and things to see.Highly recommended.

Joseph S — Google review

It’s a pure delight that we have this place in our backyards! It’s truly amazing how many significantly historical artifacts are centralized in one place. In many ways you can relive history as you walk through the Wright Brother’s shop or Thomas Edison’s workshop and more. Beyond these you can experience what life was like in days past. Many of the reinactors truly add to the experience. I recommend eating at one of the restaurants as they offer many historical dishes. I’d better stop here because I can go on and on. Check it out if you want to experience history. I’ve renewed my my membership for at least 6 years now. Our 8 yo still loves this place.

Excellent place to visit if you are into early American history and innovation. The exhibits and homes are well maintained. The Einstein Menlo Park factories are very interesting, and the tour guides are extremely knowledgeable.

Greenfield Village was an amazing experience we went to Greenfield Village but also to the Henry Ford Museum I took my daughter with me who's very much into learning about history and we enjoyed ourselves. All of the exhibits in the museum where really interesting and just seeing the evolution of cars and even the art pieces it was just really a great experience. Even the area that was dealing with black history was super informative I had never seen the actual bus that Rosa Parks was arrested from (and they had that actual bus) great experience for my kids. The Greenfield Village area with people dressed in the clothes that they wore back in during those times was really cool to see the cars that they drove in we rode on the train that was powered by coal... that was a really cool experience. Seeing how certain things were made like the Pottery area or area where they made the pottery and the guide told us about how it was made and what they used to actually decorate the pottery after it's been fired and glazed. Really cool and really good information. We got to see them actually blow glass they showed the actual method in which they used to create glass sculptures and things like that. It was really hot but it was really cool to watch... great experience overall! Definitely want to come back and take nieces and nephews and my other kids with me the next time that I go.

I absolutely love visiting Greenfield village! This time when we went it was Thomas day (we didn't know before hand), we had a great time! My favorite part is the glass blowing! It's so fascinating! There were so many places to stop and so many things to do! I will be back, have always had a great experience here!

Went to Greenfield Village with my cousin this week! We had a great time (in-spite of undisciplined children and parents blind to their action).The village is an amazing place if you enjoy living history like we do. Working farm house visits, where the staff eat homegrown lunch and share their meal experiences as you tour the homes.We ate at an 1800’s sit-in period restaurant featuring food harvested at the village and prepared as it would have been back then. It was amazingly good.We walked the grounds and had a wonderful time. I love it when my cousin is with me. She gets me out and laughing

Super cool place with lots to see and do. They're going for a period correct feel and they did a pretty good job.My only regret is only scheduling one day on our RV trip to visit Greenfield and the Henry Ford Museum. We could have easily spent a day (or more) on each one and not been bored for a second.

Greenfield Village holds many cherished memories from my childhood. After living out of state for 30 years, I recently moved back to the area. Visiting The Henry Ford and Greenfield Village was one of the first places I visited upon my return.It's such a beautiful and special place. If you are planning a visit, plan on a full day at the village and several hours for the museum. The add-on option for all of the rides is totally worth it.I recently purchased the annual membership because I already know I'm going to visit often, even if it's for just a stroll around the village.I've included just a few pics, but there is much to see and do!

The coolest museum I’ve ever been to. I love the living history and the array of buildings they have to offer. I wish more artists were at work in the crafts district. But for $40 per person I wish it didn’t cost extra to ride the train. Worth the price? Yes. But wow it’s expensive. Make sure you schedule a full day for this park!Also it’s hard to find the ticket booth. When you enter the park, go to the building on the left. They should have a sign

I absolutely love this place. I grew up in Roseville area and now live out of state. This is a must visit when I come home. This time I was able to watch my cousin play baseball as if they were in the 1800s. My favorite time to go is Christmas.

Uwe M — Google review

We gad the all acess tour with factory, museum and village for 191 Dollar for two people. But "all acess" does not mean, that the rides in the village are included. I understand, that the borrowing of the Ford T in the village costs extra. But not including the train ride for nearly 200 Bucks seems a little greedy to me. The village itself is rather a Potemkin's thing. Some buildings are furnished, others are empty or closed.

Manuel G — Google review

My family really enjoys the Village! There's tons to see, do, eat, learn, and buy. I like taking my young kids here to run around. It's super spacious, so even when there's a lot of people there, it doesn't feel crowded. There's a billion places to park. Plan on doing a LOT of walking. Lots of food options (and you can bring your own in.) The Village hosts a variety of events throughout the summer that are really fun, too. There's always something to do there.

Brittany J — Google review

Greenfield Village is an amazing place. There's something here for people of all ages. An outdoor collection of historical buildings, homes, craft shops, and artifacts from all over the US (and in some cases Europe) set up into Districts. Character actors and docents are located throughout the Village to give demonstrations and answer questions. The only con was that the cost of an adult ticket ($39) and parking ($9) was a bit on the high side. Also, the property is huge, so expect to do a lot of walking.

Scott N — Google review

This is a delightful place to spend 3-4 hours. It is almost like going around to lots of different places instead of seeing just one. There is a very nice playground for young kids who need to take a break. Most of the people who shared information in each place were very good at reading whether you wanted to hear more or were ready to keep moving. This is truly a Michigan treasure.The price is a little steep. On the other hand, compared to something like Disney, you'll learn more, not deal with crowds or lines, food is reasonable or you can go back to your car, and the price of a single Disney ticket will probably pay for your whole family here.

David B — Google review

Can't recommend this place enough. World class museum. Outdoor activities at Greenfield Village are educational and enjoyable. It's great to visit during an off time because it's not as busy, but, Saturdays in the summer have much more interaction at the park - historical baseball games, farmers working, musicians playing, etc. I'd recommend checking the calendar of events for more! Kids play area is great.

Richard C — Google review

Interesting open-air history museum founded by Henry Ford with houses of famous Americans that were moved to this location. OK, that feels a little off that you take someones history and make it your own. However I really enjoyed this museum and it was really well preserved and museums inside the museums. It is really difficult to have a museum (open-air) with many houses that were actually build there.

Björn Ó — Google review

Such a wonderful experience! My kids loved learning all of the history, and seeing what life was like 'back in olden times'. Their favorite part was riding in the Model T cars around the village!

Museum

Historical landmark

The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation is a sprawling space dedicated to showcasing American life and ideas. The living history exhibition hall boasts 18 intelligent touch screens and a gigantic assortment of exercises and games, while the historical centre exists in a few sections. The first includes the Museum of American Innovation, which showcases relics from the transport industry that Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat for. The museum is worth the visit for any youngster looking to learn about American history and famous figures from across the spectrum.

All of the staff was amazing! Each one spoke to you every time, acknowledged you when you entered, said bye when you left, always asked if you needed any assistance or had any questions. So so helpful and I'm so very appreciative, they were all wonderful! My son and I can't wait to go again! So many gift shops lol. Need at least 2+ hours to see it all, but it's worth it. So much history, some areas are like stepping back in time, it's so cool.

Absolutely incredible and exquisite exhibits. Everything is laid out so well you can easily travel from one section to the next, with a smooth transition in-between.The cases are spaciously laid out as to not be overwhelming. This creates a good flowing atmosphere that keeps you moving and staring at the next item.There's a nice cafeteria that you can eat at, but hold on to your tickets. You'll need them to get back into the museum.The attendants are wonderful. The place is neat, tidy, and just fun. Definitely take your kids here, your wife, everyone will have something to look at here!

My family loved this walk through history. So much more than cars! We spent hours here and could have spent so much more. A must see if you ever make it to the Detroit area. Went on a Wednesday. It wasn’t overly crowded and we were able to enjoy it without feeling hampered by too many people.

Shawn C — Google review

This is a great place to visit! There is so much to do and see one day is certainly not enough.If you are in the area I would certainly recommend stopping by. If you want to see it all without any rush I would recommend at least 1.5 days (assuming you take one full day). Make sure to look into the membership if visiting more than one day!The museum is mostly wheelchair accessible and they also rent wheelchairs if needed.

Jennifer C — Google review

The Henry Ford museum is definitely my favourite museum in Detroit. It displays a lot of history from the very beginning of motoring up to the present time. My favourite displays would be the United States presidents cars. Followed closely by the 1941 Allegheny Locomotive one of the largest steam powered Locomotives ever built. Very interesting to see also Henry Ford's kitchen bench engine, that's how it all started. There is so much to see in this museum not just cars. You can spend a whole day here enjoying yourself. I highly recommend a visit to this museum.

Tramp T — Google review

My visit to the museum was a great experience. The highlight for me was the impressive selection of cars, including those used by presidents. The exhibit showcased a diverse range of vehicles, adding a unique and fascinating dimension to the visit. The overall atmosphere and variety made it a memorable exploration into history culture.

I’ll definitely recommend to visit this museum in Detroit. It’s so huge and you can find here a lot of different things. History of United States. Progress of different directions such as railways, cars, planes, different manual productions. They also recommend factory tour and if you get museum and factory you’ll get discount. We didn’t have enough time and went through museum only. We got tickets in the spot and were not actually even planning to go there and it was Friday so I believe you can have tickets at the door any time. Enjoy and bring your kids there are a lot of interactive elements.

It was one of the best museums I've ever visited. An amazing assortment of innovation under one roof. we spent an entire day there and felt as if we rushed through it. Beautiful assortment of cars, aircraft, and machinery. Then to ha e the bus were Rosa Parks sat and the limo that JFK was shot. Amazing!

This was perhaps the best place that I've visited in a long time!! It was like a kid let loose in a candy shop. The place is absolutely gorgeous. The history behind every piece in that museum is insane, the lady at the front greeting once we entered the actual part of the museum was really really good. She gave a brief on what to expect and where. This place will take a full day to tour if you want to look and read everything. Maybe two. I would definitely visit this place again. Definitely recommended for every single age.

Adnan A — Google review

Incredible the history of Ford! It's a huge museum with lots to see. We didn't see everything as I think it would take a few days.The old locomotives were a highlight for me, as well as the cars. The presidential cars was very cool to see.I'm not a huge fan of racing but I have to admit it was very interesting yo learn about racers as athletes and seeing some powerful racing cars over the years.Another highlight was the mathematics, airplanes, and furnishings. The doll houses were incredibly beautiful and detailed.The Walt Disney costumes were also very cool to see up close. If you love fabric and costumes, I highly recommend to see the exhibit. It is only for a short while though.The food was good, some variety of sandwiches, snack food and entree meal. The ladies who work there were wonderful, very funny, and very helpful. I really enjoyed the experience and hope to go back to see what I missed!

You can easily spend the whole day here if you’re into museums. There are two nice cafes inside so you can take a break if you want. The exhibits are well maintained, but the entry fee was expensive compared to other places similar to this museum.If you want a tour of the factory, you will need to go there on a working day.

I shared a couple pictures of my highlights of this trip. It's a pretty nice place to visit. They are lacking some restaurants or places to get some real food. I visited here about 50 years ago when I was a kid and we went to a nice Italian restaurant and had spaghetti dinner. That appears to be missing in the museum now. Their displays are awesome with a lot of history of our area and Past Times. I recommend it!

Troy C — Google review

An awesome collection of vehicles, modern inventions and lifestyle examples of the past. More than vehicles, the place is rich with history and nostalgia.plan a bit of time to see it all and take in the village on another day as they both require leisurely exploration. Worthwhile visit, a must do in the Detroit area.

My recent visit to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village was a mix of discoveries and mild disappointments. We visited on a Wednesday during the summer, so it was relatively quiet, with no school groups around. Greenfield Village seemed to be in a bit of an off-season mode, with limited displays, but we did get to see the glass blowers in action, which was definitely a highlight!The Henry Ford Museum itself is more than just cars—it's a celebration of American innovation. I particularly enjoyed the mathematics exhibit, though I felt it could have been more expansive. The subject has so much potential for an even more immersive display.One thing that caught me off guard was the lack of a Ford employee discount when purchasing tickets. While the employee website mentions a discount, this wasn’t honored at the ticket counter. It would be nice if they could address that to make the experience even better for employees.Overall, it was a good time, and I’d recommend visiting if you’re interested in American history and innovation. Just be aware of the seasonal changes in Greenfield Village and double-check any discounts ahead of time!

Trina B — Google review

Kids had fun! We ran into a volunteer who was on break but very cheerful and conversational. It was cool to see the museum sections.... we were there for about 3 hours and only saw 2/3s of the exhibits (at kid speed). You could spend multiple days here. We got a tip to bring lunch, so didn't eat at any of the places there. Kids favorite things were the pit stop crew hands on activity, going inside the locomotive, and seeing the barnstormer planes. Adults found the JFK limo more significant than the littles.

Betsy F — Google review

So much to see in the museum. It will take you half a day to read through everything and walk through all the exhibit. Even a quick walk through needs about 3 hours.You learn so much on automotive, manufacturing, American history and culture, aerospace and Glass !Love all the massive locomotive engines and massive power generator. They are just massive and beautiful. Train museum is usually outside but it was nice that Henry Ford manage to put these massive engines indoorIt is a must go stop if you are in town

FriedChicken — Google review

An excellent museum with interesting exhibits for everyone. Far from "just a car museum," it has exhibits focused on aviation, the industrial revolution, the civil rights movement, trains, and lots more.My only regret is that we only scheduled one day to visit the museum and the Greenfield Village, whereas two days would have been the minimum in retrospect.

Zac C — Google review

Beautiful time had by all. Incredible collection allowing a walk through history. The staff had interesting information and stories to share about the period and life of those during that time. We have a membership. I would suggest a day for Henry Ford Museum and a day for Greenfield Village if you're not from this area. After that, you can choose if you need additional visits.

David T — Google review

This is certainly the go-to museum in Detroit. It showcases American innovations and progress over the century, not just car-focused. You could spend at least 2 hours in the museum alone. There’s a rotating exhibit space that brings new things in to keep it fresh for returning visitors.There’s plenty to see and do, with sections on agriculture, furniture and housing, car racing, automobile production, aviation, locomotives, and more.The village portion of the grounds can add about 5 hours to your visit so come prepared!

☆○°•The place was very amazing, I was walking in, not expecting much of it, but as I entered, I saw a lot of Presidents cars and the thought of them actually being in there was very cool! There was also a really cute miniature car set displayed, and a place where you could play a car simulator! It was a very pleasant experience :> Next time I visit MI, I will visit the factory too!○☆•°

Spectacular! You need a full day to enjoy and bring your jacket after Oct 31st!! The train usually closes at the end of October, but the Model T drive around the village is worth the money. They also have a bus, that's a great way to hear about the village. They have a horse-drawn carriage as well!!The factory tour is fantastic, with limited photography options, but it is well worth it.The museum is vast, and if you live here, that year pass is the way to go! Visitors take advantage of the different passes according to ride availability. You almost can't get through the museum and village unless you plan for the whole day!! A must-see for sure!

James M — Google review

You could literally spend days here. It’s so unique and one of a kind. I came here every weekend as a kid in the 80s and it’s fascinating to see what is still here and what has changed.Even if you could care less about cars or trains or planes this place positions them in a way that integrates them into the progression of life in America and the impact that cars (good and bad) and the social and historical context surrounding that impact.I took my teenagers and thought they would be begging to leave but I had to drag them out at closing time.Just go.

This was the first time my 4 year old son was at the Ford Museum. He loves anything trains and they have the biggest ones in the world. Not my words but my sons. We also went because there was a Paw Patrol exhibit that he is very into at the moment. He had a great time exploring the activities within the area. I would say he enjoyed the time, but some of the stuff he was too young to know why it was there or the history about it.

Went to The Henry Ford Museum with my girlfriend recently. This museum is awesome! We walked through the displays for hours and enjoyed traveling back in time to see history in person. It was a fascinating visit and the exhibits are user friendly and interactive in many cases. We want to come back again and also visit Greenfield Village when it opens up in the spring! Many thanks to everyone working at The Henry Ford Museum!

We were in town for the Bumper-to-Bumper Auto Parts Technician of the Year Competition. As part of our appreciation itinerary was a day trip to the Henry Ford Museum. My wife & I were so amazed at the amount of history knowledge of the museum we decided to book a motel & stay after the competition, we had our kids drive up ( 17 & 12-year-old boys with a 17-year-old girlfriend) and spent another entire day here with them this time! You could honestly spend 2-3 days here to truly see & do all the activities they have! Especially if you go outside the museum and go into the makeshift city that includes Henry Ford's real childhood house, the Wright Brothers' house & bicycle shop (the shop is where they invented & constructed the airplane), with lots & lots more to do in the city! DEFINITELY BE SURE TO STOP AND GET SOME DELICIOUS CUSTARD! The little shop to get CUSTARD is right after the Wright Brothers' house!

My boyfriend and I visited the Ford museum the end of August last year. We live about 6 hours away in Kentucky. He works in the automotive industry. We both enjoy learning and going to museums. This museum was spectacular! It was huge! It definitely takes a few hours to get through. We bought our tickets once we arrived. You can also purchase them online in advance. There is plenty of parking. There is a restaurant inside the museum as well as a food court area. We had a great day! We did not go to the Village but plan to go there next time!

Did not expect an all round museum here! I thought it was a Ford cars showcase but here is a full innovative museum containing not just fancy cars but the history and evolution of automobile! The presidential cars is surely a highlight here, but there are more to explore! Price is 30 dollars per adult and 9 for parking. Be aware the google navigation is not the most accurate location for the ticket office and entrance. Go straight to the clock tower!

A must visit. Plan for half a day. It could easily take a day to get through if you are into innovation. They have a cafeteria near the entrance and an old diner set up in the middle of the museum that we ate at. The serve mainly a light lunch, sandwiches on bread with chips or coleslaw. They have pie and milkshakes. There is seating outside the dinner but we ate inside for the aesthetics. You'll see trains, cars, planes, woodwork, industrial machinery, generational items and so much more.

This was a great museum, there was so much to see. Huge collection of cars, planes and trains. The collection of race cars was quite impressive and a highlight had to be the bus where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. We spent the entire day and there would have been more to see still. Definately worth a visit.

I went to the Henry Ford museum with my grandparents and younger brother for a 3 day trip which I do recommend as it takes one day to drive, one day for the museum, and one day for the village. I also highly recommend the Rouge factory tour during a week day so you can see the Ford F150’s during the building process. I was lucky when I went on a Saturday and they were building the F150’s as they normally don’t work Saturday’s and are closed Sunday. We payed for the Family membership which I highly recommend as it covers two people whose names are on the membership along with two children/grandchildren, the membership also covers the admission for the village. The member ship costed I believe 140$ is person and is 215$ online, but for an additional fee the membership can cover all rides at the village. With the membership in general you get 10% off all store merchandise.

What a great museum. This is my second visit. I was able to bring my wife this trip (she’s a huge history buff). This museum has something for everyone. I’m a pilot and I collect cars so I’m obviously attracted to the car and airplane collection! Only downside was the village being closed. Guess we need to make another trip!

Great experience! It's a Ford museum, but not just about Ford. Cool display of historic cars including some rare ones. So many things to see and time just flies by when in there. Would highly recommend!

John Z — Google review

Definitely worth the visit! Make sure you give yourself several hours to walk around and really see it all or better yet take two days. I do have one complaint though. The lady at the counter who took our money for the museum never asked us if were parked, we were just automatically charged $9 for parking. Do they not ever think that people might get dropped off then picked back up? Why would you charge for parking then?

Had a great time at the museum and outside area. The staff was really friendly. Will have to go back as we didn't get to see everything. You really need a full two days to experience everything. Great place for kids and adults.

A great day for our 4 generation group. Recommend using the app.caution: high noise level at the Dinosaur Exhibit was unexpected. Kids loved it but taxing on older ears.Noise level in the cafeteria was so loud it triggered some anxiety while ordering and eating.Exhibits outstanding. Be sure to have bluetooth on when using the app.Only problem was person bringing politics into the museum and pestering my family. They finally disengaged.

Love the museum, have been a member for years! I particularly love the new racing exhibit with the racing simulators! Today we were there looking at it as a possible wedding venue, and I have to say the staff is absolutely top notch. Easy to work with, prompt with excellent follow up! The materials on there own were a little confusing but when they laid them out it was very easy to understand/ budget. Lovett hall was absolutely breathtaking, and is currently at the top of our list!

Definitely a great place to spend the day and appreciate all the ingenuity and leadership inventing and building such renown vehicles etc. I mean just some of the machining techniques and precision applications are impressive to say the least. You can literally spend all day here, they do have food and restaurants , which is a great thing.

William H — Google review

So much to do, so much to see. I spent about 3 hours here and still could go for many more.It's not just about Ford history itself but about the broader history of the world.A great variety of cars on display and other exhibits are worth the time and money to spend on it.I also took a short 30 minute free tour and it was great.

DMINATOR — Google review

This was a really awesome place to spend the day with the family. We loved looking around at all the cars, planes, and machinery this place has on display. So much to see and do while being here; especially when you get to the race cars. We all had so much fun; kids and adults alike.I recommend buying your tickets online in advance. It was quite easy to do and saved us time once we arrived at the museum.We will need to come back to see the rest of the things we didn't get to spend as much time with.

What a wonderful museum! I was especially impressed with the exhibits created to engage children ages 9 -13. Our grandkids quickly learned how to operate the electronic kiosks. They also discovered that metal stairways led to great things. We took the tour to the Rouge Factory, where they assemble the F-150 trucks. That was an exceptional tour! I highly recommend it.

Our family stopped in to visit the museum on the way back from a trip through Canada and we're glad we took the slight detour on our way back home.There is so much automotive and American history packed into this space.We could have spent many more hours walking around looking at exhibits but the youngest of our kids had finally had enough after 3 hours.Be sure to check out the paper airplane creation space if you have little ones. We spent the most time there tweaking our designs for the ultimate flight distance.The presidential limos and train area were really cool as well.

Stopped by just to kill some time while in the Detroit area and was blown away. This is a world class museum that does an exceptional job of displaying and interpreting the history of the Industrial Revolution and how it has affected the human experience. You will spend hours here!

The wife and I had an great time during our time in the museum. A very massive museum. It would take someone at least three days if you stopped to read every placqured that would be there on every piece of equipment. Really enjoyed the history era about everyday life and the items that was used from the 1900' to 2020. The era took me back to my days of being a kid and re-visiting that era of 1980. Again its a very informative museum.

Matthew G — Google review

This is the coolest museum I have ever been to. When you think Henry Ford you think it's just going to be an automobile museum but it's literally everything from the first brick maker to airplanes. I suggest taking the factory tour as well .. it's like a Disney Land ride meets manufacturing

What a very informative museum!! We all love it so much. There is lots of exhibitions inside the museum and suitable for all ages of visitors to come. So many historical vehicles demonstrated to take famous presidents of America with security facilities. Will come again.

Really good time. Had 4 hours to kill before a flight and spent it wandering here. In the four hours I was there I probably saw half or less of what the museum offers. I could easily spend two days here. The staff was fantastic and the kids loved it.

Hands down the most fascinating museum of all time and to think how priceless this exhibit is! You see everything from the light bulb is invented to the car JFK was assassinated to riding in the cars that put the world on wheels…..the Model T. You can watch glass blowing, pottery making, knitting and weaving, printing and more! There is so much effort and truly honoring exhibits to the American legacy as a country and the inventions made that have bettered the lives of many for more than a century! What an honor to come see all this in person! They even had a Tucker Torpedo! Such a rare vehicle! You can go in trains and the stations for kids were neat too! Kids could do some neat projects too! Hands down a MUST

February 2024 - came here with family and friends. We had a good time with the paw patrol exhibit. A lot to see here and listen to. They have some new things since we have last visited. Race car game and they updated that area with some other things to do. Kids loved the automobile section. They added a plume market and a restaurant inside. You can buy wine from what I heard from two mom's. They have a nice gift shop and a lot of neat things to see.

Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are my wife's and my favorite spots to visit on the weekends. We have a membership, and we absolutely love the Village. The historical value of the collections at the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are absolutely priceless. The Village is stunning, and the grounds are so well manicured that they make my landscaping at home look like the city dump. The buildings are original historical figure homes that have been moved onto the property, and most of the buildings have original equipment and supplies from before the buildings have been moved onto the property. So cool!!!

Seth E — Google review

Very cool museum and much more than just cars and information about Henry. Ford. Definitely plan to spend several hours and if you're going to do any of the additional tours plan for a good half day or more. There is a lot to see and do and really a fun family outing. Only complaint is that it's honestly pretty pricey at $40 per adult for just going to the museum and nothing extra.

Jason B — Google review

This place is truly such a wonderful place. As someone who has been a Michigander all my life, I didn’t visit until about a year and a half ago and oh my! It’s just wonderful. They have SO much to see. Definitely possible to walk through MOST of it in one day, but to really enjoy it all, I feel as though a couple days might give you a better chance to take it all in. It was well-organized, clean, and intentionally curated. They had something for truly anyone interested in the car-scene. There were also several full sized train cars inside the museum, we were able to walk into a few of them. They also had a very large LEGO exhibit when we visited around Christmas. It was so much fun seeing all the history, beautifully maintained. Will most certainly be back.

Mik — Google review

Very disappointed they make you pay to park here. The ticket prices are high enough as it is.That is my only complaint. Other than that, this place is phenomenal. Spiritual almost when you interact with some of the artifacts and displays. Getting to sit in the bus Rosa Parks made history on was unforgettable.The ticket price is high and worth it. The parking is a scam.

Brennan — Google review

Exceeded my expectations!This place is broken up into so many subcategories and is so massive it just goes on and on and I really was blown away by it!If you want to see everything you need to plan on a couple days. There are tickets that you can buy that you can keep overnight and bring back the next day if that's necessary in your situation.I only went through the museum itself which would be 3 to 4 hours if you walk briskly. There's also the village area which would take an entire day as well. At the time of writing this the museum ticket was $35 per adult in the village area ticket was $41 per adult. The museum has an area with miniature doll houses, steam engines, agricultural equipment from long ago, etc.There was even mathematics exhibit and science center where you can get your geek on... There were a lot of kids in this area as well as the area that had dinosaurs.There are full size airplanes hanging.There were massive train engines and cars throughout the exhibit showing you how massive and big this building is!I did not see everything so I look forward to going back someday!

30-acre green space with a fountain plaza featuring playgrounds, walking paths & a picnic pavilion.

Awesome park! So many picture backdrops, gorgeous pavilions, arbors with wisteria. Play structures accommodate all ages! Lots of paved walking paths. There is even a natural water running area (dont know how to describe it and didn't get a pic), but the kiddos can play in the water (thats ALWAYS a win with my kiddos). Ill have many more pics/videos/updates as the summer progresses!

What an absolutely beautiful park! Beautifully landscaped and well maintained. The approach has a picturesque fountain with a beautiful gated entrance with ample parking. There is a nice walking path throughout the park. The park has a gorgeous good-sized gazebo, restroom facilities, access point to the Clinton River for a canoe and a nice playground area for kids to play. The park is dog friendly in most areas. This park really is a hidden gem for the family to spend an afternoon.

This place is amazing for all sorts of activities. it is a little packed at times with wedding photography so feels like you can get pushed around a bit if they want the space but the play center is perfect for all ages and it has a long trail to walk if thats what you need. I take my kiddos all the time plenty of shade and space.

This park is great. It's usually clean and not too crowded. With the added parking that is on the way, hopefully, this doesn't change. Love the water feature, the bridge towards the back of the park, and the lush green grass in between my toes! This park is perfect for walking and photos. Restrooms were clean, and the playground equipment was all in good functioning condition.

April 2023 - came here with family. 2 boys and my 2 daughters all under the age of 8. Kids had a good time. Big play area. Bathrooms. Swing set. Shade. Tables. Great area to run and we noticed two different people who got married. They did their wedding photos at the park. Only issue was the parking. Not a lot of spots and they need to create more. Overall a great park. Very clean.

A park open to the public that is so polished and pristine people get married there. There are actual shade trees too, so you don't die in the summer heat. Great parking, and a nice pond to watch the ducks and turtles. Has clean working bathrooms too... Located in the very back.This park is one of our favorites!

Zoo

Zoos & Aquariums

The Detroit Zoo is an animal sanctuary that features a miniature railroad and exhibits a variety of global wildlife, including a polar bear exhibit. Visitors can take a full perimeter loop to see the various attractions, such as the ruined Detroit Children's Zoo and the restored aquarium with its paddle-nosed gar collection. The Dossin Great Lakes Museum offers insight into the region's maritime history with exhibits featuring artifacts like hydroplanes and anchors from sunken ships.

My family and I love coming to the Detroit Zoo. The yearly pass is a great value! It's a great way to get the kids outdoors, walking around and learning about the wildlife out there in the world. Many great food options are available here form snacks, to burgers, to Buddy's pizza. If you have a free day and are wondering what to do with it in the metro Detroit area, I highly suggest a zoo visit!

Jack L — Google review

Was a really good experience. The lights were great had a good variety. The only complaint I would have would be they had VIP areas I guess they were called, with heaters and drinking areas, that had nobody in them. But we could not use them not even to go walk underneath a patio heater to warm up for a few minutes was kind of ignorant being that it was like 20° outside and there was nobody in these spaces except for the people GUARDING them. I HOPE IT PAID OFF FOR THEM BEING AS IT LOOKED LIKE NOBODY HAD PURCHASED VIP TICKETS. There was other people mumbling about it but all in all it was a good trip to see the lights.

Great family destination! Great for all ages! There are tons of awesome exhibits. We were excited to see the polar bears but unfortunately the entire exhibit was empty. There are tons of food options (also vegetarian options) they allow coolers too! The staff was very kind & helpful answering questions. There are multiple gift shops & tons of fun things like face paintings & silly drawings for kids.

Wow, I have been to a few zoos in my lifetime but this place tops my list.Very walkable routes, easily accessible for all. Train ride helped with tired feet. Animal living quarters were phenomenally maintained and had beautiful scenery to look at, which the design allows patrons to get really up close to these majestic animals. Grounds were super clean and maintained. Staff were all helpful and pleasant. I really enjoyed the staff at the animal areas giving us great information about them. I totally recommend and would return.

Love the Detroit Zoo! We live fairly close, but haven't been there for a while. We used to get annual memberships when our kids were younger. It has something for everyone, lots of animals and exhibits, knowledgeable staff and volunteers to talk about the animals or answer questions. A train that runs from the front to the back, a store, food options, and you can bring food in. There are lots of areas to have a picnic. If you are going for a day and plan ahead you can buy tickets at a discount online. They also offer after hour events for adults and families.

We went to see the wild lights for the first time. It was snowing but so much fun. Our kiddos loved it. (4&2) We were able to see a few animals that braved the snow as a bonus. The lights were amazing and our kids loved the stepping tunes the best. We enjoyed getting popcorn to takes home but due to the weather we did eat or drink there but were excited to see hot chocolate stands and other warm foods.

Love the Detroit Zoo....Always a nice time 😊. The Dinosaurs were up, which my son and I love!, and the penguin enclosure was nice and clean...the water was so clear. It was good to see the animals are being well taken care of. The Zoo itself was also clean and well maintained. We also took the train ride, which was nice, and saw a 4D movie which was awesome. I had never been to a 4 D movie...... definitely a fun experience 😃. Overall, no complaints about this visit. We had a nice time.

Lovely day today! Zoo was clean, beautifully manicured, bathrooms were clean.Brought my father in his wheelchair and the pathways and exhibits were easy to navigate.The 4D movies were excellent and had delightful surprises in the seats - see it for yourself!All personnel were courteous and helpful.A delightful surprise in the middle of the city! We were partial to the butterfly exhibit!

What a great experience! Plenty of places to sit and rest with lots of shade to cool off, misters and water refill stations located throughout the zoo. Lots to see and most of the animals were pretty active. The food was all delicious and reasonably priced. The bathrooms were pretty well kept. We never felt over crowded or like our personal space was invaded as there were wide walk ways and plenty of room to move about. We spent about 5 hours at the zoo and it was time well spent!

Abbi S — Google review

This zoo was great bought the tickets online, website was very user friendly. Gates were easy to enter and exit. The train was lots of fun. A lot of the animals were out and others were not due to the heat. There were a lot of water bottle filling stations, places for picnics, water misters and fans. Animals selection was awesome.

I recently traveled from London, Ontario, to visit the Detroit Zoo, and it was an experience to remember! The zoo itself was well-maintained, with a wide variety of animals and exhibits that were both educational and enjoyable. However, what truly stood out was the kindness and professionalism of the staff.Unfortunately, just before I was about to leave, I realized I had lost my wallet. Panic set in as it contained my driver’s license, vehicle registration, IDs, and all my credit and debit cards. I immediately reached out for help, and the staff at the safari market, lost & found, photo booth, and security were incredibly cooperative and efficient. Thanks to their swift actions and support, I found my wallet in less than 40 minutes!A huge thank you to the kind people of Detroit and the amazing staff at the zoo. Your efforts turned what could have been a stressful situation into a moment of relief and gratitude. I highly recommend the Detroit Zoo—not just for the wonderful exhibits but for the outstanding service and care provided by the staff.

We went to see the holiday lights at night in December. The paid the basic entrance fee none of the all you can eat or add on tickets. It was beautiful and very fun. Very creative light displays, especially the under the sea section.

P.S. A — Google review

We bought the daytime zoo visit and night light bundle, which was well worth the price. We entered the zoo around 3 pm and saw many animals including penguins, camels, otters, tigers, chimpanzees/gorillas. We didn’t finish visiting all of the animals because of time limit. We should have been there at 2 pm, which would allow us to visit the whole zoo before closure. So please plan well and have at least 2 hours for a full zoo tour. The night lights show was also amazing and interactive. We made wishes at the giant wish tree, which was a great memory.

Reasonably priced zoo with lots to see and do in a generally busy area. We went there recently for my birthday and we had a pretty good time! Haven't been there since I was a kid, so it was nice seeing the new penguin exhibit.The enclosures here are spaced out and quite beautifully done. All the animals look happy and healthy. My favorite enclosure was the kangaroo one— it was super cool being able to go inside their habitat and walk alongside them.Despite being the off season, almost all the exhibits were open, including a few restaurants. We spent a good three and a half hours there, taking our time to walk around. There's a lot of scenic walking trails, too.Overall, definitely the nicest zoo here in Michigan! It's really well managed, and everyone that works here is very friendly.

Grey K — Google review

Okay, so if you read negative reviews about this zoo, they were wrong. This park is nicely spaced out and features an open-air viewing of most exhibits. The food is on par with what you'd expect from a popular attraction. It is not the best burger you'll ever eat. It's not the worst either. The price is comparable to other parks. I have been too and cheaper, in my opinion. We spent the entire day at the zoo enjoying the various exhibits and attractions.

Go into the buildings! Look around! There's a lot of hideaways and interiors that people just kept walking by. The backside of the rhino exhibit was entirely empty and it was right beside them! Look at my pic! Zoo is very well built up and they take great care of the paths. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, willing to share without hesitation. Food staffing were great too! I'm very impressed.

M K — Google review

Kids have fun, but the zoo seemed like it had a lot of exhibits that were closed or under construction, and there was a lack of open vendors when the zoo was aware that the large groups of schools coming that day, it was a warm day when it got xloser to noon & so the kids wanted frozen drinks but they ran out of $10 cups so they could sell them in regular cups for the same price. All in all I prepaid the ticket & parking but there are no signs to tell you where you park but the attendant asks if you bought parking. You really need 3 hours to visit the zoo nicely. Hopefully, they have all the exhibits open when & if we return again.

Got pictures with a polar bear so already 5 stars just because of that. Sharon was super helpful at the penguin exhibit. She told us many interesting facts and pointed out what each penguin was.

Visited zoo during Canadian Stat holiday (Victoria day), Canadians can pay in CAD dollars, I recommend getting yearly membership, worth it if you plan on visiting again throughout the year.Had good time visiting the zoo with my kids.

Soooo much fun! My adult daughter and I met up at the zoo and it was a blast from the past! We had a ball talking about the updates, what we remember over the years and enjoying the beautiful weather. I purchased a buggy for the day for $30, worth every penny, the price you pay for aging.

Mel — Google review

Relatively nice zoo, but it seems to have a lot of construction going on and we didn't see many animals in the 3 hours that we were there. Tickets were pricey for what time we had there, for a full day it would have been fine. Food/ beverage prices were REALLY high (over $5 for a CAN of water).Not sure we'd make the trip to visit again.

Ashley P — Google review

We had a nice time while we were here and loved the animal enclosures. They were pretty unique compared to some of the zoo we've been to in Ohio. The penguins were our favorite!!We went on a weekend and it wasn't too busy. We got there right as they opened. They seemed to be struggling the day we went. The train wasn't running yet when we got there so we bought tickets and waited. We were told it would be about 30 min so we went to check out the penguins. The time we were told it would run kept changing and getting pushed back so after an hour we moved on and figured we'd get on at the other station later in the day. Then half the zoo closed and was evacuated as soon as we left the train terminal so we waited around on some benches. We figured we could eat lunch while we waited for the closed portion of the zoo to open back up, however after waiting about 30 min for the restaurants to open a worker came out and told everyone waiting they weren't opening. We did eventually get to see everything at the zoo and ride the train but we had to rush through everything as we had other places to be in the afternoon.I think this zoo has the potential to be really amazing. We didn't have an amazing experience but it could have been if everything was open and working as it should have been. Unfortunately we live about 3 hours away so it's unlikely we will visit again.

What an absolutely amazing place for long walks and sightseeing. All the variety and nature wonders and exotic animals to see. Except for the beaver 🦫. I have never seen the beaver. It’s supposed to be there, but never been seen. One time i saw a couple of visitors passing by and one way saying to another: “I don’t think there is a beaver in there. They just have a sign 🪧 but no beaver in there” 😂 Hopefully one day I’ll get to see that shy one in there. Zoo is well taken care of , very clean , spacious, animals are well treated and look healthy and nicely taken care of. It’s not an easy work. But staff is doing a really great job. This is a historic place and I’m happy to be a member and enjoy it as often as possible. Highly recommend to get a membership as it’s totally worth it! And hopefully I’ll get to see that beaver one day 😊

Had a nice time. There are a lot of updates to the zoo in progress, and I am looking forward to all the new updates. Be prepared to spend a lot of money 💰 🤑 if you don't plan on packing a lunch. I had chicken tenders and fries, which cost me $14, and you don't get much just two tenders. My son had the All American Angus Burger with fries 🍟 he said it was OK, not cooked enough, and it was $15. The burger was pretty small. The food was from Table 28 formoly Artic Cafe.

What an AMAZING ZOO! I love a trip to the zoo, and have been to many of them of all sizes. But this zoo, this is for sure the best zoo I have ever been to hands down! Just beautiful. Plenty of room at every exhibit for each person to see. My family WILL be making the 2 hr drive back!!

I've been going to the Detroit Zoo since I was a kid and they gave changed so much over the years. The new tiger and updated kangaroos exhibit are really nice. Employees are always kind and helpful. Food is pricey but that's everywhere you go. The Detroit Zoo allows you to bring in food and non alcoholic drinks with a few restrictions so that does help with cost. There is lot's to do I just wish they had more affordable animal encounters like the Columbus Zoo has but we still love coming here.

Sarah C — Google review

Zoo Was nice, it was clean, staff we encountered were friendly. Reason for 4 stars and not 5, is the dinosaur exhibit, have to pay an extra 6$ for a 10min walk through, should be included in the price of admission, it's not worth the 6$, but the kid wanted to see it. Food at Table 28 was pretty decent and didn't seem to over priced, other than drinks. Great day spent otherwise.

Nick C — Google review

Detroit Zoo is a world class zoo with conservation at its core. It’s open all year round, though in certain weather, some exhibits will be closed with animals viewable from indoor enclosures. Additionally, warm weather activities like the carousel, face painting, etc., as well as some of the eateries close during the winter.Table28, the zoo’s main restaurant is open year round and the prices compare to an average diner. There’s also a cafe to get coffee, espresso and tea drinks. Fun fact: Table28 was named for the opening year, 1928.There are tons of picnic areas and places to rest. You will likely see at least one of the many peacocks roaming free around zoo grounds. There is also a playground for younger kids.Will plan add more photos after our next visit.

The Detroit Zoo has really taken on some big projects since the 90s growing up.#1 the polar bear exhibit where the two polar bears can swim feet away from you thanks to the viewing glass in the tunnel & polar exploration exhibits.#2 the penguin center which is absolutely stunning with an immersive Antarctic voyage through the Drake Passage to visit our waddling friends!#3 the food is great and the smoothie & power bowl shack is a welcome addition and break from classics like pretzels, burgers, etc.#4 the currently under construction North American exhibits promise to deliver an amazing new experience upon completion.

Went today, July 18, it was 62 degrees at 9am. All the animals were out. It was the best visit I've had so far. Everything is super clean. Landscapes kept neat. Loved it. Took 3 1/2 hours to tour the entire area.

Christmas wild lights was spectacular! Was here 5 years ago, so glad we came back, there is now a theme to the lights and I really enjoyed the ocean/sea creatures theme! Was so much fun to visit with family over the Christmas holidays. Parking was easy ($8), staff were present to guide you to a spot. It was very festive, the kids loved all the lights. There was a small interactive corner with the wishing tree, see saw, lit up train and bear for the children to hang out. Lots of little rest stops selling hot drinks and snacks to warm up in if you got too cold. There was a nice carousel in the middle so the children loved that! Overall we had a lot of fun and spent about 1.5-2hrs here!

It was only a 35 min drive from my place in Canada, so there was convenience. Parking was great and organized. Pay when you get tickets. I don’t know if we missed some, but it only took about an hour to walk through and we stopped and Waited for hot chocolate at one of the stores. The areas were clean and the ground was even and easy to walk through. The difference between our local lights and this, their displays were huge and had so many fun animals. So many children were there just loving the atmosphere.It’s rather expensive in my opinion. Parking and 2 tickets cost $81 Canadian, our local lights are free, and has local vendors selling their products and food trucks and it seems to cover a similar amount of ground, the displays are just a bit smaller at home

I love this zoo. Will forever come back no matter what. A lot of closers right now and very few exhibits to see. Maybe wait a while before you go. Looks like a lot of exciting things coming soon to the Detroit zoo, can't wait!

What an AMAZING ZOO! I love a trip to the zoo, and have been to many of them of all sizes. But this zoo, this is for sure the best zoo I have ever been to hands down! Just beautiful. Plenty of room at every exhibit for each person to see. Not a bunch of old unmanaged guards all over in the way of viewing. Plenty of hydration stations, rest areas, and restrooms. Nice misting areas to keep guests cool while visiting. And even though my zoo membership did not show on my end that Detroit was a reciprocal zoo when I asked the girl at the ticket counter she gave my family half price admission and parking without hesitation! My family WILL be making the 2 hr drive back!!

Great place to spend the day. We were there on a Thursday. There was no waiting in line to enter. You can buy tickets online in advance if you prefer. Tickets were $27 per adult, $8 for parking. Lots of animals to see and learn about. Park is clean, bathrooms clean also. Places to fill up your water bottles throughout the park as well! Very nice so you can refill your container when you bring your own. Train runs all day until about 5:00 p.m. and is $3 per rider. Merry Go Round $3 per rider. Butterfly house was nice as well. Lots of butterflies. Did not notice very many birds in the sanctuary. Plenty of places to sit, relax, picnic and take pictures. Places to buy food, drinks and snacks in the park. A bit expensive tho.

Cool Zoo, just make sure you go in season. Early spring, many renovations are going on and animals don’t seem to be as active. Make sure you eat first, because as expected, food is $$$$. If you get a chance to go for the Christmas lights, those are amazing.

We went on a very nice Spring day. What a nice place to walk around. There are lots of animals to see, some indoors due to the cooler weather. The free-range peacocks were a hit with our family. But the highlight was our time in the penguin complex! Just amazing to see them up close in an environment made to be like their natural habitat. Washrooms are conveniently located all around. Staff were so nice and able to answer questions. A great experience!

We showed up around 9:30 and the place was packed due to the summer rates. Make sure you bring a lunch, Glad to keep yourself hydrated, as well as a wagon to pull your kiddos or items in.Exhibits for just amazing and kept everybody Entertained. At one point we encountered a water fountain that had a misting ability if you push the button. Great on a warm day.We felt a little sorry for the polar bear who was pacing back and forth the entire time.We will definitely be back as the place is amazing..Don't forget that train rides are $3 a person one way! :-)

I love animals so much, and am really happy we have the zoo for us to both see animals and rehabilitate them! Food and souvenirs were pricey, but that is to be expected I suppose. Lots of awesome animals like rhinos, chimpanzees, and so many birds! They also have several misters that you can go under to cool down on hot days, so that was a nice touch. Overall great place, just be prepared to walk!

This is a great zoo. Me and my family went and had a great time. The line moved quickly to get in. The staff are very nice, professional, and inviting.There are many animals to see. They also have a playground where the kids can play.If you need an attraction to visit, I recommend you stop by the Detroit Zoo.

Gregory S — Google review

The zoo was bustling with activity as usual, and we managed to see almost everything we wanted. Unfortunately, the kangaroo exhibit was closed for construction again, which seems to be a recurring theme. The food, although priced the same ($$), was still quite enjoyable. The train wasn't running on the day we visited, but hopefully, it will be operational on our next visit. Despite these minor setbacks, we had a delightful time exploring the zoo.

Fader F — Google review

Great zoo! All of the animals are rescues and the staff are super sweet and friendly. We spent all day here.9am to 2pm though we definitely could’ve spent more time and took our time throughout the whole zoo, though this is how long it took to visit all the exhibits for us and our little one. We packed our own lunch, and brought our stroller wagon. Highly recommend putting an AirTag in your stroller to make it easier to find. We loved the fact that it was pretty much all open concept and no high fences, so it made it easier to see the animals.They’re currently renovating a few of their spaces and exhibits, and would love to come back to see it once it’s finished. I would highly suggest going early in the morning to skip majority of the high traffic! Once 11-12 hit, the zoo was super busy and packed. So I’m glad we went right when it opened and got close parking.Also highly recommend buying tickets in advanced if possible because they’re cheaper! However, we waited until the day of the purchase because we weren’t sure if the weather was going to be nice and it was beautiful. It appears on nicer days the prices of the tickets fluctuate and increase.

Kate P — Google review

The zoo is really big so be prepared to walk. Misters are a good touch for hot days. The food is good at table 28, a little bit on pricey but understandable being a Picnic spot. We skipped the Dinosaur walk not sure why that was extra $. Do not miss the butterfly section that’s the best part. We did that at End so not a lot of people but amazing experience. The staff was fantastic as we.

I mainly go here to walk my dogs. They enjoy it and it is a good way to get them socialized. They love going to the 3 Dog Bakery, which is a must stop as I can't even walk past it without the dogs tugging me to go in. Most stores are dog friendly.Other good stores and restaurants as well. Been to Brio and PF Chang's and both are great. Having an Apple store in the mall is also convenient.

It is nice having a place that you can bring dogs to walk while also shopping. The place is really nice during the lights for the holidays; in the summer it is a great mall to go and walk around some. The stores are okay, I just wish there were more. The two big vacant stores could easily be turned into an area for other smaller stores; it feels like I do not have many places to shop for what I normally look for. Men's clothing stores are extremely scarce and there is only one traditional sneaker store (Champs). I think it would be great for them to find a sneaker and streetwear resell shop to put in here. There are very few in the area.

Kind of disappointed that it's summer time in the whole mall closes at 8:00. We went to walk around after our dinner to try to catch a snack or a sweet item and everything was closed. They do have a box lunch out here now so that's pretty cool but I couldn't even go inside. Even the live music that they had sounded like it was pretty good but we didn't make it to check it out because it was over so quicklyEdit: they still close pretty early. But there is a new little shop that I enjoy looking around in. Overrated I think it was called. Also the artisan items at Inspire marketplace are a wonderful find. Just get out there early as the mall closes at 7.

Specialty Museums

Aviation museum focused on WWII hosts exhibits & offers pre-booked flights in classic bombers.

It was amazing to have a chance to see a such good variety of military aircraft up close and personal. The collection also included a lot of interesting related items, from a mammoth radial engine, to the once top secret Norden bomb sight. The docents were both friendly and very knowledgeable about the collection. Also, if you haven't visited in awhile, be aware that the aircraft on display do change from time to time, both because their collection is now too large to display all at once, and because they are also continuing to restore new aircraft.

Stopped by here for a quick visit while in Detroit on a business trip. This is the first time I’ve been able to return since their hangar fire in 2004, but they’ve absolutely outdone themselves rebuilding with an incredible museum and a wide array of aircraft. Incredibly friendly, inviting and knowledgeable staff were able to help me get the absolute most on my brief stop. Would highly recommend anyone in the area check it out or fly in one of their WW2 aircraft (was fortunate enough to fly in their B-17 recently as well).

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Michigan Flight Museum, formerly known as the Yankee Air Museum, and I wanted to share my heartfelt appreciation for the incredible experience.From the moment I walked through the doors, I was captivated by the rich history and impressive collection of aircraft on display. The dedication and passion of the staff and volunteers are evident in every exhibit, making the stories of aviation come alive in a truly memorable way.The interactive displays and well-curated exhibits provided a comprehensive understanding of aviation history, and the personal stories of the people who shaped it were both inspiring and educational. The museum’s commitment to preserving and sharing this important heritage is commendable.One of the highlights of my visit was the opportunity to see the historic aircraft up close. The meticulous restoration work and attention to detail are remarkable. It was a unique and thrilling experience to witness these iconic planes and imagine the adventures they undertook.Thank you for creating such a wonderful space for learning and exploration. The Michigan Flight Museum is a treasure, and I am grateful for the effort and care that goes into maintaining it. I look forward to visiting again and continuing to support your mission.

Our family visited one Sunday afternoon and we enjoyed our visit! My kids have been infatuated with all things aviation since they went to their first airshow this past summer. While my husband and I enjoyed reading all of the displays, the kids loved looking at the exhibits and especially loved the kid's area and flight simulator computers. The gift shop is full of unique items and fun things for kids. We will definitely be back and would recommend visiting to everyone.

This is a great little museum.I say little, but you have to come... They have a lot of interesting information and you can be much closer to the planes than in a bigger museum.A few of the flying machines they have are a Huey Sea Cobra helicopter, an A4 Skyhawk, an F4 Phantom II and other older aircrafts.A section is dedicated to the B24 (bomber) with life-size reconstructions. And a lot of information about the, mostly, women that built these planes.A special mention goes to Claire, who teaches you how to rivet two pieces of metal.... That you can keep afterwards... Amazing experience and Claire is fantastic... Knowledgeable, engaging, friendly... Her part of the exhibit made my day, the rest was cherry on top.During the airshow in the summer you can see some of the still-flying planes they have.If I come back to Detroit during the summer, I will come back.

It has been some years since my family’s last visit to this museum. It was when it was formerly known as the Yankee Air Museum & staff from the Leslie Nature Center was on site that day showing some of its animals. That is how long ago it was!Anyhow, I thought it would be nice to visit once again with my family. Though, I was a little hesitant since I do have younger children who may not be as engaged. Let me tell you that I am glad that we went! As soon as we entered the museum, we were welcomed with kindness & an invite to ask questions. All of the staff were friendly, especially Dennis, who took it upon himself to give us some very informative information of what we were seeing throughout the museum. This made our experience that much more memorable! He was also patient with us during the simulators! My kids really enjoyed pretending that they were pilots in the cockpit. They spend so much time there. They also enjoyed the flight simulators, as well as my husband! We will definitely be back! We are so glad that we came.

Canton Public Library

Public library

Libraries

Despite not being a popular destination for most travelers in Ohio, Canton offers a range of top-notch facilities, breathtaking surroundings, and its close proximity to Akron and Cleveland make it worth considering. While the city is best known for housing the renowned Pro Football Hall of Fame, it boasts numerous other attractions as well. Canton Public Library is particularly appealing to children due to its extensive collection of books and interactive features such as designated areas for tablet and computer play.

Best library tbh very clean and organized and also great area to do work or study. I love how they have a separate area for food only very cleans and lovely atmosphere

Lots of books, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. Interlibrary loans for what they don't have. Great online cataloging system for curated lists and shelf to save for later. Hoopla and Libby for audiobooks and ebooks, Kanopy and Hoopla for streaming. Also, free faxing (which came in handy for me last week!) and Gale Courses for continuing education (currently taking an ASL course). Mango Languages is another good electronic service the library subscribes to.I first learned how to use the Internet at the Canton Public Library as a little kid in the 90s, and just moved back to Canton a couple months ago. One of the first things I did was get a library card, it's such a useful thing to have! So many free and useful services!

The Canton Public Library is the best library I have ever visited. I have been to bigger libraries and fancier libraries and more homey libraries but the one that actually provides all the services I could imagine from a Public Library is the Canton Public Library!As a public building and location it is kept clean and orderly. The bathrooms are kept up to date and clean. There is a small place to get snacks and drinks in the building and this concession area is also kept neat and clean. It is attractive as well.The staff are engaged and interested in individual patrons and their needs. They have assisted me in several ways. Not only is the building in great shape and the services inside first rate they have an excellent online presence.I have been able to use the services at the Canton Public Library to pursue my love of languages, track down my genealogy, perform historical research, biological research and other work. Of course I also get the materials I dearly love to read from here also.The organization of the library itself also involves the community in many wonderful projects they put on regularly. These include conversations, book reading and special guests. Their public rooms are available for reasonable rates

Generally the workers ignore me, but recently one was so rude, unhelpful, and judgmental that I literally walked out and cried in my car. I also had four employees stare blankly at me while I was obviously waiting for assistance and then literally turn their backs to me and continue talking to each other. Really an unwelcoming atmosphere, and I'm not sure they actually care or intend to take any action on in terms of being more welcoming to the public instead of acting like we're annoying them by existing there.

Briana W — Google review

Overall it's a good library. I only have a few problems. The staff is very annoying. They talk very loud most of the time and they constantly say things to you(rudely), even if you are quiet. Also the quiet rooms are loud. The chairs squeak constantly and people are loud all the time. People phones go off, they eat loudly, and do whatever they want. The staff don't say anything until they actually see you talking. I really like the layout but they need a new team.

This library is great! I love the vast foreign selections and they always have activities for all ages. My only negative feedback is that the children’s section could use more toys and imaginative play areas. They have a lot of devices for the kids to use, which is great, but my hometown library has dress up clothes, kitchen areas, toy cars, a big playhouse, building blocks and all sorts of toys that I could take my kids to during the winter months for a change of pace and to meet new friends.

Britta R — Google review

I’ve been going to this library regularly for the last year or so, and it’s such a fantastic place! Everything seems tailor made to help patrons, including how many power outlets there are everywhere.Even better than the library itself, though, is the fact that I can get a book sent to CPL from any other library in their network. This has allowed me to read so many books that I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise.Another nice thing about CPL is that it’s part of a big park system. The lake is perfect to walk around (3 loops = 30 minutes), and there’s a free lending library there, too. Plus, there is always a child’s story available to read at different stations, and they change it monthly.The staff is all really, really nice! Bonus points to the male librarian who likes horror and wore an awesome Jason Voorhees Halloween costume!I also love it that I don’t feel judged by my reading choices here. I like to read a lot of horror, sci-fi, and graphic novels, and I’ve never gotten any weird looks. :)

Village Theater at Cherry Hill

Performing arts theater

The 400-seat performing/visual arts & education center offers theater, concerts, exhibits & classes.

Small venue but very nice; the theater itself, lobby, staff and restrooms. Drinks were actually priced normally (5$ drinks!) Not inflated. Show was amazing

A gem! This 400-capacity theater is as elegant as it is acoustically perfect for listening. The Canton Concert Band, a group of 50 top-notch volunteer musicians dressed in black tie, performed beautifully here.

Really nice theater, in the prime location of Cherry Hill Village! Had a performances here, and it was a blast, for the performers and audience alike! The theater is also really nice, modern, and easy to navigate! The only problem is parking, but that is completely out of anyone’s control here. Overall, nothing but great things to say about the Village Theater in Cherry Hill Village, one of the nicest places in the area!

Great pla w to have small to mid (100-150) size events. Our friend organized indian musical event with dances and live performances. We really enjoyed the ambience and sound quality of theater.. Theater is well maintained with clean restrooms, backstage and surrounding...Also, Village theater allows outside food vendors for the event as the event we went to had snacks from VegORama(if I remember right) which was definitely a added plus point....Oh, there is Coldstone ice ream opposite to theater which is fun to enjoy after a nice evening.

Had a spectacular time with my wife tonight. It was my birthday and I decided to surprise her and take her to the mall she hadn't been there as I haven't been there in the last two years before all this craziness ensued. It was nice to get out and about together and see her smile was enough for me. One of the valets opened the door for us. All around you could tell people were happy to be shopping again interacting with people. It was nice to hang out with my wife. Can I definitely come back here again. So many different stores to choose from. And it was my birthday so it made it even extra special! Cuz I got to spend it with the one I love. 💘

The mall is gorgeous. I loved the huge skylight windows that seem to stretch from one side of the mall to the other. I also appreciated the wide range of shops and the friendly and helpful staff. There are some good choices in the food court and ample seating. It seems like the parking lot fills up pretty quickly on the weekend.

Such a beautiful mall! I love the layout! All the glass and water really makes you feel like you're walking under the sun! The glass ceiling and elevators made you feel like you're outside. The sky way walkway is the best way to get to the 2nd oart of the mall. We just did a quick mall walk. However, we had to tear ourselves away from the Detroit Snacks store located on the 3rd level. Can't wait to come back.

I like this mall. Great parking and security. Very good selection of stores. The High end stores are very interesting. The high end stores were packed with people buying very expensive items. I don't know if I'm ready to spend $2000 for a T-shirt or $7000 for a suit of clothes.

This Mall was huge! We went on Saturday. I know I'm alittle late posting a review. U have to take the Skywalk to the other side. Lots of stores to choose from. 3 stories. If you go around Christmas and want a picture with Santa, you have to reserve it way in advance. I wasn't aware of that. The lady told me they were sold out. I told her we drove 3 hrs away all she had to say was Sorry. It was early afternoon not later in the day when we arrived.

This is a nice shopping mall with lots of stores and a small food court on the third floor in the North side. Overall very clean and with security around. We saw some items locked up with cables inside Neiman Marcus. Not a good look but I’m sure they are probably dealing with retail theft.

The Only thing that I DON'T LIKE about this mall and other's is THERE OPEN DOOR POLICY FOR THE WOMEN'S BATHROOM! There was Actually a Man in the room fixing his Hair which he paid to have look like a Woman! I Gotta remember to use smaller bathrooms with a few stalls or just One, like in a department store!

Large mall complex located on either side of Big Beaver Road in Sterling Heights, connected by a skybridge. One side of the mall seems to cater the high-end customers with brand name store, and the other side feels more like a typical mall with some anchor stores (Macy’s etc.), a food court, and other stores. Definitely a must visit for shopping if you are in the area

I visited Park West Gallery last month and I was very impressed by the museum and art for sale. I had not been to the Park West Gallery in Southfield is many years. I recently visited the DIA and was looking to view contemporary art and I was disappointed, In contrast, Park West Gallery was outstanding. I highly recommend that you visit.

I HAD to come back and modify this review! After reading so many negative comments as we anticipated our Marcus Glenn work, I became nervous about the purchase and immediately wanted a refund.TODAY. The artwork came and the frame isn't expensive but it is beautiful and we STILL love the art! It was not damaged by Fedex even though Fedex did not ask me to sign for the delivery [they were supposed to ask me to sign as signature was REQUIRED]. ( I recorded the unboxing in case of damage )We were already in the process of preparing for the work by purchasing some decor items that would compliment it since we were replacing an older piece that was less colorful.PARK WEST. Thank you for introducing us to this artist! We are thankful and I apologize for the original bad review based off of a nervous response to other people's reviews.This is my honest review and we are completely happy. We will be collecting more Marcus Glenn's in the future.

I returned to Park West Gallery after many years. It had remained a beautiful space, spacious, bright, and as always displaying famous and unique art, from the classics Picasso, Dali, Goya, Chagall, Rembrandt, to contemporary artists, David Le Batard, David Najar – to name a few. Polite and helpful staff. An extraordinary pleasure to walk through the gallery rooms and see world class art.

My wife and I bought an artwork from Peter Max on the Carnival Pride in April of 2024. As of this writing Aug 15th we still have not received our artwork. I have called Park West Gallery many times to get more information. They have no idea where my painting is. Apparently it was offloaded from the ship in May and has been seen since. Client services have not been helpful at all. They have hung up on me on 2 separate occasions when I insisted to be transferred to a supervisor. I would think twice before buying art from Park West as their customer service doesn’t seem to care about your needs when a problem arises.

We purchased two pieces on a cruise and were assured they would arrive within 6 weeks. It's been 12 weeks so far and just got notice that one is getting framed.They also sell these pieces as limited items in an auction format which implies they actually poses the pieces being sold. When I inquired about my pieces I was informed that they were at the mercy of the artist to ship the piece to them.Save yourself from the useless middle man and buy directly from the artist.

EDITED- Joan with Park West called and helped me. She located a piece and I had it in my hand within two weeks of this review. The piece is beautiful! I’m thankful for this platform to get it handled and so thankful Joan helped. — Original post -So frustrated bc I cannot get an answer about an order I placed and paid for on a Celebrity Cruise in July!! It’s the Michael Godard Bond 007 piece. I was told 12 weeks for delivery. EVERY TIME I call I’m told “we’ll look into it and call you back” or “we’ll get you an update”. I was only told “it’s still with the artist” and they have NO IDEA when I’ll get it! So frustrating to be out almost $2000 to not have the art I purchased. If someone who is a senior level in customer service reads this, please help secure what I ordered.

I bought over $4K worth of art from these people aboard a cruise ship. The initial art that they sent to me was improperly packaged, like they sent me something that was just lying around, threw it in a leftover box with a little bubble wrap and said yeah that's good enough for this guy and sent it. It was broken in transit. The art was worth over $1K and they charged me a fortune for shipping. I really feel if I had not been there to reject the art in front of the FEDEX driver I would have not had a leg to stand on (see photos). They did send a replacement, and the other items I bought were shipped properly.Beyond this I made the mistake of signing up for their auctions online. Despite my requests to unsubscribe and my requests to not be called they continue to send me email and call me.The initial experience I had with them was OK, but the length of time needed to ship the art, the lack of proper shipping and the endless spamming of me with emails and phone calls has made me upset. I would not buy from them again. Learn from my mistake.

Bought some arts on our first Princess cruise in April 2023. The staff were all very helpful onboard.We were a bit sceptical and worried after reading some reviews. Staff explained on the cruise the arts they sell are not print copies. They are either copies printed on different materials (i.e. On aluminium or canvas, etc.) and authenticated from the artist by signing on the pieces. We can understand they can't create the same painting exactly the same every time. This is the best way of investing art as a beginner like us.The paintings arrived exactly on time as the onboard staff Told us within 6 weeks from the date cruise journey ended for us. As you can see the packaging they delivered them in. Perfectly packed for all of them. We love the fact they sent them one by one which was very thoughtful in case of any problems. We couldn't be happier with our purchases. Worth every penny.All in all, 5 star 🌟 for our experiences. Wish we purchased some more now.

//UpdateAbout a year post incident Park West sent me a marketing email with another potential voucher for an upcoming auction. I randomly decided to share a screenshot of this review in reply; and to my pleasant surprise I received a response!The response was not asking for more information, the response was getting this $100 credited! I am Very appreciative of their response; however, this would be a 4 star review had it been taken care of the first phone call to support, and possibly a 5 star if the shady practice had not happened in the first place (they did have a couple beautiful sets of 2-3 pieces that went for sub $500).***Was provided a $100 voucher to use at the auction on a Royal Caribbean cruise. My representative told me my card would show both the full amount, and the amount less the $100 voucher pending, and that the full amount would fall off and the proper amount would clear. Both charges were pending on my card when I left the ship. They canceled the $100 voucher amount, and cleared the entire amount. Several calls have been made to Park West to resolve this, and I am continually told to 'watch for an email in the next couple days'.I love the painting, but that is the work of Kre8, not Park West. I can not recommend doing business with a company who implements deceitful practices.

Dear Cristian,I would like to extend a big thank you for your exceptional customer service. Your proactive calls and actions before framing prevented errors in size, and your advice and willingness to help were greatly appreciated. It was a pleasure working with you.

We discovered a small blemish on our original artwork when we were hanging "Western Wonder." Since contacting Park West Gallery, in September 2023, our contact, Ester Vasquez, did such an excellent job of taking care of us. The communication was awesome. She made sure we knew what was happening on each step. From the original phone calls, getting the box to return it (the 1st box was damaged, so received a 2nd box), returning it and for informing us when the box was received at your facility. Once the correction had been made, she sent us pictures to approve the finished work before it went to framing. When it was ready to ship back to, she let us know. All I am doing now is waiting for the artwork. It has been a pleasure dealing with Park West Gallery, from the land auction to now. Saving up for the next Park West adventure with my daughter Candy. Very happy customer. Pam 2023

I bought two paintings (both originals) from Park West while on a Norwegian cruise. The staff were professional, friendly, and helpful. Yes I know they are trying to make sales, but being friendly and knowledgeable go a long way! I was a bit concerned after retuning home and see some of these reviews about wrong items being delivered, or not delivered at all. My experience has been anything but. The first painting arrived three weeks after the cruise (I was told it could take up to 12 weeks), and the second arrived today (nearly 6 weeks after the cruise). Both paintings were well packaged and not damaged that I could see. I am very pleased with the gallery and their services, and I love the works I bought.

Want to buy a painting or a print on board a ship? AVOID these guys. I bought a print, and received a lesser value copy. My bad, I really should have read the Google reviews. NEVER EVER buy a painting on board. You have no control over what they will send you. And try suing a company in Miami from your overseas home base. Best you don't buy.Sa a follow up to our experience, we read the Google reviews. Not good. We contacted Park West, who confirmed in writing the AP print we bought was of higher value than the one the sent. That was quickly withdrawn with a referral to an invoice that "on the back" says "Park West do not warrant" the print we saw would be sent. What? We saw a print. We bought it, it did not arrive. Some other arbitrary print did.In the reviews there are may refences to legal cases against Park West. For similar stunts.Simply put, we get what we bought, or another legal case is about to ensue.See the prints uploaded.

Purchased my artwork at a cruise auction, was told may be up to 6 weeks to Australia. But to my surprise a delivery truck pulls up 2 weeks after we arrived back home. It took about a week after the cruise till we received the first e-mail from Park West and after that there was good communication with updates and shipping info. Also twice I contacted PW and there response in reply was over night. Packing was excellent and my goods arrived in top condition. Again well done to all concerned throughout this process.Thankyou All '🖼🚚

I purchased a painting on a cruise in August…I know..dumb of me (but it was my first time and I really liked the painting) the painting was great but I had frame problems and I sent it back to get it reframed from them. Another month went by or so and I got my painting back and it had the same issue. It was like I was being made a fool. I told them about it and they said to take it to a local frame shop and they can send me a frame. I did just that and finally got my painting how it was suppose to be sent to me as. I wasted multiple trips to fed ex and a frame shop and they refuse to reimburse me for my time and gas spent on this. I told them l’m willing to be compensated for the difference of the $100 coverage for the reframing, they told me no. My reframing costed $40…I believe the amount of time and gas spent, $60 is a good compensation…my painting is finally how it’s suppose to be and it is January now… DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING FROM THEM! If you have doubts, just go to Yelp and read the reviews there. I’m not the only one with issues with them.

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience at Park West Apartments! From the moment I inquired about leasing, I was met with professionalism and warmth. The staff, especially Robyn, went above and beyond to ensure that my transition into my new home was smooth and stress-free.Robyn, in particular, deserves special recognition for her outstanding dedication to customer service. Her attention to detail, prompt communication, and genuine care for residents truly set her apart. She not only assisted me with the leasing process but also went out of her way to address any concerns I had along the way. Her proactive approach and willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference.The apartments themselves are beautiful, well-maintained, and equipped with modern amenities. The community amenities are fantastic, providing a comfortable and convenient living environment. Additionally, the location is unbeatable, with easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment options.Overall, I am incredibly satisfied with my decision to make Park West Apartments my home. The exceptional service provided by Robyn and the entire team has exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Park West Apartments to anyone in search of a welcoming community and exceptional living experience.Thank you, Robyn, and the Park West Apartments team, for making me feel right at home!

I bought a piece of artwork while on a cruise this may2024. They offered me 0% interest on the art for a period of 12 months. I’ve now received my credit card and there’s no way to make a payment to this account if you are in Canada and don’t have an American bank account. NOBODY told me I wouldn’t be able to make payments online. So after calling the bank and sitting on hold for hours. They’ve notified me the only way to make payments is by a cheque mailed out. Which you need an account number for. Well I haven’t received an account number as all I’ve been sent is this park west credit card with no account number. And the call center cannot give me an account number without mailing me a verification code. Meanwhile because I don’t have the account number I can’t make the minimum payment date and they are going to charge me 41$ for a late payment penalty. What an absolute lack of organization, poor communication on how hard it would be to make a payment if you don’t have an American account. Needless to say I’ve closed the account completely and will pay it out in full. So much for the 0% interest they offer as an incentive.I feel completely scammed and will never do business with park west in the future

I've made two purchases from Park West on Holland Cruise Line ships; the most recent May 2024. The artwork arrived within 6 weeks. Unfortunately, it was the right artist and print but was different in size and frame. I contacted Park West via phone and spoke with Genesis. Within a day, I received instructions to return the incorrect piece. Less than a month later, I have received the correct piece and thanks to Genesis, the process was easy and stress free. I'm sure this is rare to receive the wrong artwork, but if I find myself purchasing from Park West again, I will know they take care of their customers.

Bought a few works on a recent cruise. Delivered on time but the frame was a different color. We had ordered Gold but instead, they were all Copper. This was unfortunate because I liked the style of the frame. After returning them and going back and forth with Cristan Padilla we decided on a new frame. The communication was consistent and thorough. They finally arrived early i the new year and we couldn't be happier. Two of them are already hanging on the wall but we still need to pick a spot for the third one. Going through this process I would have to say the worst part was dealing with FedEx, LOL. Great work by the team at Park West and we commend Cristan for their patience and professionalism.

My experience w/ PW have mostly been positive. I enjoy the art I've chosen. I'm looking forward to visiting some of their galleries in the future or attending a land event someday.When a frame on one of my art pieces had improper fit, my customer service experience was smooth, the piece was re-framed nicely and in the time they estimated.One downside is that if you attend a cruise auction the sales associates can sometimes be pretty pushy, and maybe they bend the truth a little to far in order to make a sale. With the telecasts, it's not that way. The concierges Ive worked with have always been gracious and helpful.I actually enjoy learning about the artists and types of art. I think perhaps PW needs to come out with a glossary of their art terminology because some folks seem to get confused with things like: graphic works, unique, original, limited edition, etc. I feel bad hearing about others experiences, when they're left feeling "scammed", but maybe a little education can help alleviate that. Side note: I have to stress the importance of reading the fine print of the auction agreements the associates give out!One minor detail. I'm not so sure any gallery should be conducting their own appraisals on the art they sell. Seems maybe like a bit "conflict of interest"? But maybe that's common practice, I'm only a casual observer.

I love stopping at this place when I get up into Michigan. It is such a beautiful home and has a few different tour options for the avid history lover or just a casual traveler on a fun trip. You must get your tickets in advance from their website and it looks like (at the time of this posting) a regular adult ticket was only $15. I am excited to come back around Christmas time to see the holiday tour and then also for the new winter wonder lights event. 😊 can't wait to visit again.

My husband and I did both the Guided House tour and the Behind The Scenes tour. I recommend doing both in that order. The House tour gives a good tour of the standard rooms of the house, along with a lot of history and information about each room. The Behind The Scenes tour guides guests to places not generally seen, like servants areas, hidden staircases, and private areas of the home. All of our tour guides were outgoing and offered up so much interesting information. Allow one hour to one and a half hours for each tour, depending on size of group and number of questions. Also, don't miss seeing the children's playhouses outside! You can go in and look around. I definitely recommend this place! So beautiful!

Meadowbrook Hall is a stunning venue that never fails to impress. As a wedding photographer, I appreciate the breathtaking architecture, beautiful gardens, and elegant interiors that provide the perfect backdrop for capturing unforgettable moments. The staff is always professional and accommodating, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. Highly recommended!

This was incredible. The lights were amazing, and we were lucky enough to go on a warm-ish night (12/23/2021). The tickets included both outside and inside. A total wonderful perk was that they were selling hot cocoa (optionally with Bailey's!) and other yummy things on the tour route. Highly recommend, and can't wait to do again.

One of the best historical tours in Michigan! We visited at 11 am on Saturday, April 15th and our tour lasted about an hour. Only two other people besides us on the tour. Building and grounds are well taken care of, and not much has changed since my days at OU, when I last did the tour. If you go in the spring, you’ll see the daffodils and magnolia blossoming. Throughout the year, they hold numerous events, and last August we enjoyed going to the Amadeus concert, which included a self-guided tour that we missed out on due to the rain. Glad we could make up for it this year!

Amazing hidden gem in the Detroit area! Grew up in Detroit and had been to Meadowbrook Theatre many times but never Meadowbrook Hall. It’s beautiful and huge. 88,000 sq ft. 110 rooms. Beautiful gardens and original furniture. Worth a visit in Rochester for sure!

We absolutely loved going here for the Christmas lights and tour through the house. We brought our kids and they loved it too. There is quite a bit of walking through the gardens for the lights so bundle up if it's cold. Bathrooms are only at front entrance. Very clean trailer with 3 stalls. No indoor bathroom though because of the age of home. We definitely look forward to coming back to take the full tour. Would love to spend time reading and looking at everything in the house for a longer period.

The holiday walk through was very nice. About $6 more per adult than I'd expect to pay - which adds up quickly, but still a nice self guided tour.

Went for the holiday lights show this past weekend. Very very impressive. They did a tremendous job in putting this together. All the guides were trained and knowledgeable in answering any of our groups questions. Bought tickets online and I would really recommend doing so. Very efficient and organized! Worth the price of admission!

A true gem to visit!! We did two tours back-to-back & I'd highly recommend this option. First we went to the very first guided house tour of the day & we followed up with the guided behind-the-scenes tour. You get see the main parts of the historic house in the regular tour & then see how the house was run and how the staff got around in the behind-the-scenes tour. Just be aware that there are a lot of stairs in that tour. There was a wedding on the day we went so we couldn't do much exploring of the grounds, but we'll be back!!Update 11-24-23: We attended the Winter Wonder Lights tour & LOVED IT!! I would highly recommend it!! We went to the 8:30pm tour, which was dark enough to enjoy all the lights. It is 75% outdoors, so I would suggest bundling up or picking a warm night/evening! It's a self-guided tour, so once you're in, you can take your time & enjoy the tour at your own pace. And there are workers all around to guide you & answer questions.

Winter Wonder Lights was a nice event, some lights were sync to music the displays were beautiful, parking if you have to park up on the hill they have a shuttle bus so be prepared if you have older people or kids with wagons ECT. The light walking path are stone and are a bit uneven I spent a lot of time watching where I walked I have bad knees that was a bit disappointed. They have concessions at the start hot chocolate and cocktail for adults, fun light toys for purchase some snacks popcorn, chocolate cover pretzels, somores kit to roast at the fire, prices are what you would expect .You have access to a small part of the mansion with a huge replica Gingerbread house of the mansion on display. There is a gift shop with nice Christmas items. Check in is super easy we completed it all in hour and 15 minutes!

This place is fantastic! We took the guided house tour which was an hour and it was excellent. We learned about the history of the mansion and all about the people who lived there. Matilda Dodge Wilson was such a visionary and it shows as you tour this spectacular home. I can’t say enough about this place. You have to visit to experience all that it has to offer. Thank you to the volunteers! They are awesome!

One of the 4th largest homes in the US and an incredible story of hard work, luck and extravagant opulence. Want to see how the other half loved while the country was struggling through the great depression, here it is in glorious detail. Truth be told it was a fantastic journey into the lives of the uber wealthy. The lady of the house has an amazing back story and would recommend you learn more about her. Worth a visit.

There unfortunately was a charge when I came here in order to enter in just to see the gardens. Usually they are free to enter but they were holding a flower decor event in which they marketed it for adults but in reality it was far more for small and young children. It was definitely a sight to see but definitely not for me, the hall was also open and apart of the $25 charge. The main reason why it wasn't for me was because the flower exhibits they had really didn't incorporate many flowers if any at all a lot of it was just props. Which again would've been really fun for children. They also don't have expansive gardens and not nearly as focused on the gardens but more so the history of the hall, the mansion.An important side note*** if you have respiratory issues or are sensitive to mold please do take this into account when sight seeing inside of the hall/mansion.

Alice W — Google review

We did the behind the scene guided tour it was informative and slightly boring. We saw where the servants lived and worked, the Dodge & Wilson kids bedrooms & playrooms and Wilson's game room. Some of the rooms are now being used for office space so idk they would even show them. The guides were very knowledgeable and you could tell they love their job. I suggest doing the house tour first to see where the family lived. Also we climbed a lot of stairs and the staircases are narrow.

A hauntingly beautiful historic gem. By far one of my favorite places in all of Michigan. I have been to Meadow Brook Hall so many times over the years - first with my Grandmother when I was a child, and now I'm taking my own kids there.No matter how many times you go, there is always something you missed before that is new. The attention to detail in the architecture and design is like that of the estates of European aristocracy.A beautiful place for weddings, a gorgeous display around the holidays, stunning gardens in the warmer months, and in the fall the gardens are the aesthetic of a living Virginia Woolf poem. Such an incredible place for photography.

The BEST experience for a GREAT value! We went during the week so for $14.95 per adult and less per child the price is outstanding! There is SO much to do!! There is a petting zoo, two huge jumping pillows, haunted house for all ages, John Deere tractor races, tricycle races, duck races, story book house, corn maze, hay pyramids, ax throwing, oh and apple and pumpkin picking too! So much more! It was the best day we've spent since COVID hit and I can't think of one negative thing! The Cafe has the BEST Street Corn Nachos! And lots of other treats at great prices! Blake's has the not let commercialism ruin the feel of a true family farm! 100% love it!!!!

Went during the week for the you pick as to avoid the sunflower festival weekend crowds. Was perfect and no wait. You pick was $25 for large Mason jar of sunflowers and wildflowers. Wildflowers was pretty limited from what we saw. Lavender was beautiful, though. Unique food and drinks in shop. On the little bit higher end for cost. Donuts are delicious.

Great place for kids to learn to skate as the rink is not real ice. It's not nearly as slippery. That being said, it's not as fun for more advanced skaters but the price is right and the staff was very friendly.

Blake’s orchard have cherry picking ( sweet and tart) very fresh , we had a great time.Strawberries were smaller in size but way sweeter than usual ones you get in Kroger or any other grocery stores.Raspberries were little too but sweet fruit.Overall great experience. They have a good tap house too.Tried their cidersPhenomenal.Consider a one full day if you like to experience the farm ( fruit picking )They do not charge you if you pick fruits usually range is $3 per lb and it’s way to cheaper and good deal I’d say. If not, they charge $20 per vehicle.10/10 stars.

First time attending the Lavender festival and it didn’t disappoint. A lot of great vendors on site. There was free face painting for the kids, free kid (bounce area, animal petting, swings) area, and scheduled entertainment throughout the weekend. There were also DIY activities that you could pay to participate in. The ride to the lavender fields was free and you paid $10 for a bundle of u-pick lavender. Scissors and twist ties were provided. There were also photo op stations provided throughout the event and lavender fields. The parking and exit route was a little time consuming as expected, but was organized. Nice event that I would go to again.Attended the Sunflower Festival and loved it. My family and I arrived around 11am and didn’t leave until 4pm. A lot of great vendors, good food and drinks in the Tap Room and a lot of activities for the kids. The kids love the animals in the barn and enjoyed the haunted hotel. It was a great time and worth every dollar! I also adore the $25 mason jar to store the u-pick flowers.

I was a bit hesitant about the funland thing. It looks geared towards younger kids but it was so much fun for my 14yo, 11yo, and my wife and I. Petting zoo, fun games, trampoline, tractor (bicycle) races, tricycle races, and even a haunted house. Restaurant was yummy too, though a bit high on prices. Kids menu options are huge portions for cheap though and staff are all super nice. Tasting room attached to restaurant and a separate bar outside too. Great place to spend a nice weather day. We will definitely be back!!

It was a beautiful day at Blake's. This place is huge and offers a lot of fun for all ages. They have a large selection of ciders at the outside bar and in the tasting room. The outdoor beer garden area is really nice. This place is great for a Michigan fall day. The only reason I wouldn't give it five stars is because the outside bathrooms are disgusting.

I had a great time with the family. A lot of kids activities and for the adults why not have a hard cider! The prices are decent not over the top. We went on a train ride to see the apple trees blossomed.. the are getting there… it was more like a sneak peak but still gorgeous! Everybody is super friendly and of course we need to have some donuts and cider. I preferred my donuts plain but that’s up to you!

I’ve never been to Blake’s cider mill before, but I was invited by friends and I had an amazing time! I love the smell of fresh apple’s when you first walk in, and you can watch them make apple cider from scratch. They sell all sorts of homemade food like butter, jam, honey, pickles, salsa, muffins, fudge, apple cider, and seasonings. I’m pretty sure I sampled all of their juice and I decided to get the apple cherry juice, and salted caramel apple cider. There was also a festival going on and they had two tents filled with local vendors, I bought a lot of cute little knickknacks. I’m surprised there’s so many options for food, we weren’t able to dine in at the tasting room because it was so packed but there’s different areas where you can get food too. The staff were also really nice, they made sure everything was going smoothly.

Coming here for the past few years was always a nice time. However, this place has now fallen into the greed of business. There is little to do other than picking apples, walking around in the so-called activities area, paying for extremely overpriced carnival food in their restaurants and paying over inflated prices for produce and baked items. The entrance fee to the activities area (mainly for little kids) is $16 for weekdays and $20 for weekends. The farm animal petting/feeding area is ridiculous. The few animals they have are either biting or laying in areas that can't be reached or sleeping.Arriving at 3:30 pm, we unknowingly headed into the mass exodus of vehicles and were almost hit by 3 cars just trying to park. After paying $32 for entrance fees to the activities area, we walked into a ghost town swarming with bees and hornets. Less than 10 people through the entire area. There was no excitement anywhere and it was a boring 30-minute walk through this area. Only fun thing here was the tractor/train ride through the apple orchard and fields.As for the restaurants and cafes, only 2 were open and they are so overpriced for carnival food. $13 for nacho chips, $16 for chicken bites and the list goes on. The markets for produce and baked goods was just as bad. Not only did they cut the portions down, they raised the prices by $2-3, easily, since last year. $9.50 for the smallest bag of apples and it got worse from there. Apple cider $8 for half gallon, $14 for gallon. 5-inch pies for $10. $7.50 for a caramel apple with sprinkles and the apples are the smallest ones they grow. Jar pickles for $10. Jams are only $7.50 however the jars are now only 16 ounces.Never again will we come back to Blakes. It's only a major tourist trap and not worth the money paid for entrance fees, restaurants, markets.

I’ve been to this place several times as a kid, but I definitely appreciate it more as an adult. I came back in the fall and did the corn maze and all the other fall activities. I happened to be in the area in the spring, and decided to swing by to see if they had any donuts and to my surprise, they had donuts, caramel apples, popcorn and tons more goodies. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that we came in time to watch them make the cider. I think they may have the best cider in the area, so it was cool to watch them make it and see how many apples it takes. The gentleman was kind enough to offer us a sample and of course we bought a gallon for the road. Nothing like freshly made cider and donuts!When I visited in the fall, there were things for all ages to participate in. Tractor rides, petting zoo, food, haunted areas, corn maze and even an area for alcoholic beverages.Not much to do outside of the fall months, but definitely come with your sweet tooth. Aside from the cider, the cinnamon sugar and powdered sugar donuts are amazing. The store on site also has lots of different items from local vendors such as apparel, different sauces, cookies even dog treats.If you’re in the area in the off-season, go get some cider and donuts and for sure check them out in the fall for all the fall activities!

Autumn isn’t complete without a trip to one of your favorite apple orchards. If your looking for a detailed list of things to do here you’ll have to read another review, lol. I am just here to vouch for Blake’s as great spot to experience your fall apple actives. The Dutch apple pie was delicious and was definitely worth the ten dollars.Cinnamon Sugar Donuts were dancing on my tastebuds delicious & what was left over tasted equally as good the next morning. This was our first time here as a couple and we really enjoyed our date.

The recent renovations and updates have been impressive. Despite a light drizzle, there was a line extending out the door when we arrived.

We will post more photos on our next visit!

Had an absolute BLAST at Blake’s Orchard & Cider Mill! Came here prior to the fall/pumpkin season and it was still packed, but there happened to be an event going on that weekend for beer so that was mainly why. My family was only interested in experiencing the farm and getting their famous apple cider donuts so thank God we didn’t have to deal with the long line of people waiting to get into the event!We ended up eating at Blake’s Tasting Room and enjoyed our experience there. My husband and I shared the nachos and my husband got a flight of their different flavored ciders. I think he tried four different ciders and really only liked one or two of them. The Apple Pie and I think Caramel apple were his faves. The nachos were a great choice to keep us satisfied until later.The farm was such a fun time for us all. We got to feed the pets they had in the barn. A mix of horses, llamas, rabbits, pigs etc. just be careful when feeding them, they will try to steal your entire cup of food! We also got to race around little tractors and my sister, her husband and his cousin ended up getting lost in the corn maze for an hour. Beware if you go into there that it may take a while to find your way out and you will get mud all over your shoes and clothing!My husband and I decided not to go into the corn maze (thank god!) and explored around the farm for a bit. It’s quite large so there’s a lot of walking involved. We also took the tractor ride that goes around the entire property and talks about Blake’s history. They offer u-pick for a bunch of different fruits, vegetables and even plants! It was very interesting the vast majority of what they have to offer.We ended the day in their general store. Of course we had to get their famous apple cider donuts and fresh apple cider! Very delicious and the donuts were warm and soft. They have a bunch of other items for purchase like bakery items, jams, apparel, and even their cider!Highly recommend visiting Blake’s Orchard & Cider Mill! It’s a fun experience for everyone!

Spacious shopping center featuring a wide variety of upscale retailers, restaurants & events.

Lovely mall! Many malls are going down but this one is not - it's thriving and that's so nice. Although I do some shopping online, I prefer to shop in person to see the merchandise quality and feel. For clothes that's essential for me, but I prefer to shop in person for most things. A mall is perfect for that and this mall is wonderful.

It's perfect and has vending machines while you walk around and an amazing food court. Highly recommended!!

This is one of my favorite malls in the tri-country area.One for its central location off of the major freeways.In the mall parking lot surroundings, you have a Red Lobster, McDonald's, and Chick-fil-A ( this location is always crowded so download the app to order and move along faster).This mall opens its main doors an hour before the stores open. This is great for mall walkers. This is great especially once the colder, wet, and snow begins to roll in.The reason why I love this mall so much is because it's a great affordable activity for preschool. I love to enter at the “mall main entrance “ near Macy’s Department Store. That entrance has the Puppy store. The staff is great about letting people socialize with the puppies even if you have no intention of purchasing! Bring quarters so you can feed the pups!! Its never any pressure to buy a puppy.Then further down you have Auntie Annie Pretzels and they usually have free samples! Download that app for great deals and freebies.Kiddie corner from there is the kid's play area. You can't wear shoes so remember to bring socks. It's a cool fun time for the kids. Across from this free-play structure is a small arcade. You can use cash or a card to buy a reloadable card to play games. A notable game is the claw machines! It's play until you “win”. So at least you get something every time you play!There is a “convenience store “facing this play structure. This is great if you happen to forget your beverages/snacks or like us stay way too long. Then we need a little something.On the other side of the kid's play structure are a few coin games that you can ride on. They only take quarters. I mean they are your quarters bc I've never seen them work. The kids have just as much fun crawling around on them.Across from this area, it's a really cool toy store. It reminds me of a small Toys R Us. It's a wide range of toys for all ages and every price range. We go in and usually grab something small. We also get an idea of what the kids are eyeballing for their birthday.If you walk to the food court there is a much bigger and nice coin ride on machines. At this location, they actually work. Kids still have a lot of fun if you put money into it or not.Everything I just described I do and it takes about 4-6 hours with a 2-year-old. So this is great if you want to get out and get them tired and ready for a nap. Literally perfect for a playdate.

Lots of malls across the country are not doing great, but Twelve Oaks largely seems to be thriving, or at least dying more slowly than other malls. Though there are two vacant anchor store locations, the rest of the mall is pretty vibrant and usually pretty full of people, especially on the weekends.There is a small children's play area, and the food court has some pretty good options. The Wi-Fi is fast and there are lots of places to sit down. Parking is also ample, even during peak times.

Twelve Oaks continues to be my favorite mall to shop at for over 27 years. When other malls are being met with a wrecking ball, or being transformed into storage facilities, apartments or office spaces. Twelve Oaks manages to thrive. Despite the demise of Sears and Lord & Taylor (RIP). It’s still an awesome mall. This mall has a nice Macy’s that has been renovated and expanded. A decent JCPenney and a cool Nordstrom. And other stores like Williams Sonoma, Eddie Bauer, Apple, Crate & Barrel and many other popular stores that you would find at popular regional shopping malls. Plenty of restaurants like Cheesecake Factory and a food court. If you are a visiting the Metro Detroit area, I highly recommend a stop at Twelve Oaks Mall during your visit.

I took my kid to the Mall slightly before 10am. The whole building was very clean. Kid friendly. Plenty of space for kids to roam and rest. We played at the play area, which is very well maintained. We love the unique design of it. There's a ride-on area right next to the play area. It costs $1 for a ride. Only 1/5 rides worked at our visit. We lost $3 due to not working rides. We went to the management office to report the issues and got our money back. The staff was friendly and helpful.

This mall is great, usually very clean, when it's busy, it's busy, but when it's calm, it's calm, nothing really terrible about this mall either. but, I have been seeing alot more adolescents come here then before and they do seem to get a little crazy but most of the time, this mall is great, also love the food court.

Pablo C — Google review

Was in the area for a concert and decided that I wanted to show my kids what a nice prosperous mall looks like. When we arrived, I called Security to get a wheelchair and was informed that they are not a handicap friendly place. Every other mall on the planet has wheelchairs and amigos, but twelve Oaks does not have wheelchairs or amigos.It’s 2024, and it’s absolutely ridiculous that a mall this large is not handicap accessible.We will not return and I will go out of my way to make sure that any person I meet does not go there

Large cinema offering a cocktail bar, reserved seating & roomy, leather seats for new releases.

Great place to catch a movie. Seats are awesome. Very comfortable recliners. Prices are reasonable. Great sound systems. Great way to see a movie, even older ones. Love the fact they play the older movies. Even though I have a big screen at home, the movie experience, and the popcorn (still fresh popped, not bagged), can't be beat!The theater is extremely clean. Gone are the days of narrow rows or seats and sticky floors.Besides the fact the chairs recline, they give you tons of space in the row. Even with a person in the fully reclined position, you can easily exit the row without having to "squeeze" through. Very well thought out layout.You can get pizza brought to your seat! You order it, then go sit down enjoy the movie and they bring it to you.I can't review the taste of the pizza as I did not do this myself.

Something I used to love about Emagine is that it's a fun place to enter and explore. I love all the movie posters and cool features, but I was caught off guard when there was suddenly someone at the door checking us for tickets.Now, this isn't me ridiculing this extra layer of security, but as I was waiting for my movie time to get closer, I was looking at movie posters when I was confronted twice, by someone asking if I had a movie ticket. This, in a way, ruined that sparkle Emagine had, but that isn't to say that the movies presented in the theatres are below par.They are quite good, but I will say the squeaking recliners ruined the movie experience, it sounds as if fart machines are instilled into the chairs. They are in need of an upgrade.I hope that I am able to visit again and am confronted with a better experience, but just a few things. Please keep it a place where people can have a good time, and don't change it to such a strict and bland environment.

Invitation to the cookout secured. This is a hot spot to check out if you're in town. Comfortable seats, good service and reasonable prices. Take a date here!I recommend prepurchasing tickets and preselecting seats. There are individual recliners and also two person loveseat snuggle sofas too. 🔥

Went to Emagine Theatre today for a matinee, and really is it spectacular. The new seating is amazing and love how they’ll bring you your snacks after ordering. So get over there, put your feet up and get ready for a good time. If your looking for a good “flix” Ghostbuster’s 👻 afterlife comes highly recommended! Enjoy

Great Cinema. I loved the reclining leather seats in the theatres. They make the experience very comfortable and luxurious feeling. Ordering the tickets online was a very smooth process. I recommend getting tickets ahead of time, it's worth it. The popcorn was great. I did not try the pizza but it honestly looked pretty good. The soft drink selection was the best part though. I'm very grateful for the inclusion of decaf coke!Other than that there are a bowling alley, a mall and whatever else you could ever want around here so it's overall just in a great location.

I’ve always enjoyed coming to Emagine Novi, and today I was so thoroughly impressed with their employees I wanted to leave a review. First, when refilling our popcorn, an employee upgraded our popcorn to the flavor combination… The employee actually handed my husband $2 so it would be free for us when he checked out. Such an unexpected and kind gesture! Second, my license fell out of purse and they called me within 10 minutes of the movie ending to let me know. When I retrieved it at the information desk, they seemed genuinely happy to help me. Very impressed with the caliber of employees at this establishment today. Thank you!!

Rachel T — Google review

This place is going down and it is such a pity because I used to love it...The company invested so much in quality services but they forgot about the most important factor, the people. I recently had an very un-pleasant experience with a Supervision-manager (Rafael) that was trying to show his authority while a woman coworker was around and unfortunate they lost a loyalty member that day...I wish them well and hope they will soon understand that great service starts with people that want and care to help bring customers not send them away ...

Comfortable seats, clean theatre. Went for 5 troller Tuesdays and got a free popcorn too. That was nice. My only concern was the bathrooms at the end of the night when the movie finished were gross. Not the first gross woman’s bathroom I’ve witnessed, but if someone could do some kind of upkeep, that would be nice. The first 5 stalls I opened were scary.

This is my first time ever to try a Cinema theater in USA and it was so special as it was my son's first time ever to be inside a Cinema, he was overwhelmed and went to the moon and back, now let us talk about the Positives and the negatives , Positives are : Customers service are pro and very polite, the place is super clean, they even have a bar with drinks and you can make your own pizza, prices are veeeeeeery affordable for a family , inside the theater wherever you will sit it will be very perfect, seats are suuuuuper comfy,and their popcorn is awesome.i highly recommend to visit and enjoy a good time with your family or with your wife.

Fantastic theater!The seats are comfortable and very spacious for all weights and sizes. They're Recliner chairs and they're extremely comfortable. The seats are a type of leather so they are easy to clean, bonus!Popcorn, fountain drinks, candy, liquor, beer, pizza, nacho, yes all the above are available for your pleasure and taste buds. Great place for children to enjoy TV time away from home.The staff are nice and polite.Bathrooms could use more care.Parking is shared with other businesses around. It can be a hustle at times. I enjoy the walk, you see other businesses that are around the theater.

Our favorite place to see a movie. Typically when my son wants to go see an animated film, I jump at the chance to take him here. Leather recliners make it easy for napping with none of my other kids pestering me lolDefinitely worth while to check out all of their tickets online before you attend. You don’t wanna miss out on a movie plus you get to choose your seats and you’ll get the much better seats that way.Yes, I believe there is a small service fee to buy your tickets in advance but it’s worth it because you get to skip the line or not have to deal with the self-service kiosk.We’ve taken advantage of the bar there, but they have one! I never really thought to mix watching movies with tequila, but that option is always open in case someone is interestedHere’s a tip, note where you park, because many times you can walk through the back exits in you are much closer to your car once the movie is overIf you park around on the north side of the theater or the west side, you can take advantage of this little shortcut But don’t tell anybody I told you this, we don’t need everybody doing it

Doug S — Google review

For the venue itself I would give 4 stars, as the movie theater is modern, spacious and the recliner seats are great.However, the 1 star is based on the employee interaction I had during my visit today. The employee working the concession stand didn't appear to want to be there, and was rather short with me during the whole interaction and especially when having to explain the payment process. Not welcoming, helpful or friendly.

Gina P — Google review

Everything was clean, including the washrooms. I liked how you received your snacks at one counter and paid for them at another. This keeps the servers from handling both food and money. The theatre was comfortable for the show. The seats reclined, but they were not heated in our specific theatre.

Todd F — Google review

Beautiful theater, but don't forget anything in your seat when you leave. They're no good at collecting items before the next showing. And they scold you when you go to collect it yourself. Seriously. Another customer had my purse. It had been roughly an hour since I left the theater, and they wouldn't answer their phones when I tried to call multiple times up here to tell them I forgot my purse.

Brianna S — Google review

Love this Emagine location 💛 Staff is always super friendly and helpful. Particularly enjoy that there is a ticket checker at the door now. Yes, it was cool to be able to just walk in without having to talk to anyone, but more than once it has happened that people were in our seats that didn’t actually have tickets for the movie. There’s plenty of machines for drinks in case one goes down. Never ending popcorn. Plenty of captioning devices. Bathrooms are always clean and well-kept. Ticket prices are good and love the loyalty program.The one star take off is for incredibly minor things that are more of a specific issue.There doesn’t seem to be a clear access area for an elevator. I’m sure it exists, as there are handicap spots on the upper level, but I could not find it.Thoroughly appreciate the captioning devices, but they’re starting to fall apart. Not all of them have covers for the batteries, which would be a risk for small kids who need to use them. It also baffles me that emagine branded prerolls aren’t captioned.

Sarah T — Google review

Nice theater! I'm used to a different Emagine location so the way the consessions were threw me off - you just get your popcorn and pay and get drinks on the side. I was also bummed there weren't heated seats at this theater! But overall a good experience. Screen was nice, seats were roomy and good sound. Theater was clean and tidy.

Very nice . Got tickets online . Walked right in with no lines. There are plenty of food and drink options. At movie theater prices, of course. Friendly staff,spacious reclining seating . Urinals need to be hit a little more often, but still a 5 star visit

Chunk — Google review

I try to go to a movie here every other weekend. I wish the cost of concession and tickets would drop to a much more affordable price. I Miss the movie showings that started at 11:00pm or 11:30pm like they did before covid. They have a curfew for anyone under 17 after 8pm without a parent or legal guardian. It would be great if they enforced this more. Too many times has a movie going experience been ruined because of a group of loud and inconsiderate teenagers who aren't even there to watch the movie.

the theater itself is amazing but the staff however is terrible. Just called to ask if they had the alien cup/buckets and the employee that answered had such a bad attitude and sounded like he didn't even wanna work or answer 1 simple question! If you don't wanna work then stay home!!

seats are comfy and concessions are good. I like that they bring things to your seat. but for every movie I've seen here, the volume is a bit too loud. sometimes I like it for more action-filled movies, but I didn't need to see Licorice Pizza with the volume at 1million decibels.

The intimate theater in Oakland offers a professional company that showcases both classic and original works. The play I attended, which was a preview, delved into the complex relationship between an aging father and his son as they navigated the difficult decision of moving him out of his home for safety reasons. Alongside poignant moments, there were also amusing lines that provided comic relief. The profound topic made me reflect on how such situations are handled in our own lives.

Here are the pro's and cons. Pro, the theater is very clean and very large. Pro, the theater is very beautiful. Pro, the staff is friendly. Pro, great place to go see a show. I saw the Pin up Girls here. Con, the line for the Box office is a bit long, but it goes quickly. Pro, it has awesome atmosphere. Thank you, Meadow Brook Theater for such a wonderful show. I highly recommend going to see the Christmas Carol, it is a awesome show.

Going to see a play is one of those things that can't be replaced. I love the place, the ambiance, the plays are great quality and just having a very pleasant and unforgettable time every time I go there. Thank you Meadow Brook Theater! Just saw "Nana does Vegas" and I had a really great time. It was awesome. I will definitely come back for the next play. Or maybe even see the same play again. :)

Great experience, as it was my first time attending a play here. The parking was very easy and close to the establishment. The staff were very kind and helpful. The actors did a great job, could easily be heard, and there wasn't a bad seat in the theater. The attire was dressy/casual....I saw dresses, pants, and nice jeans with sweaters. I am looking forward to attending another play in the future.

Always a good time. We've been to this theater many times over the past few years. Every show's been great. The venue is relatively small so every seat is great. I'd highly recommend this for anyone looking for a great outing. There's a lot of nice restaurants nearby to turn the evening into dinner and show.

Second visit to the Meadow Brook Theater.To see.Native Gardens on opening night3/23/24Plays are plays so let's discuss the venue.1.Decent venue, not a bad seat in the house.Our seats were 104 & 103 in Row J.We looked and scouted the seats, but chose to sit in the top row seats 105 & 106Excellent.2.The hallway or corridor is crowded and a bit claustrophobic.How so?Its narrow and tight.Plus the ticket booth is crammed right near door one, plus within 10 feet of the entrance, creating a bottleneck.For instance at5:50pm with a 6pm curtianThere was 27 people in line for "will call tickets"Trying to navigate that hall to reach the bathrooms, 200 yards away was difficult.Parking was good.2 old ancient restroomsC+2 new restrooms A+I would think twice before returning to Meadow Brook.

Enjoyed the play - first time I ever attended a preview. Was a serious topic of a relationship between an aging father and his son as and getting the father moved out of his home where he would be safer- there were funny lines, as well - but the topic has me thinking hard about how we will handle this in our lives. Had a profound effect on my thinking.I also discovered the art room which was fantastic!I did not think it was allowed to take photos or videos of the play so I did not.

A Christmas Carol is a classic performance every year. This group is awesome, and the venue was full. Please ask for special accommodations if you have a walker or wheel chair! That section was packed, and some people had to brave the stairs to get to seats farther down.

This is such a lovely venue and the shoes are wonderful. I'm a HUGE jazz fan and my husband took me here to see the Ella Fitzgerald play starring Freda Payne. It was OUTSTANDING! We have also come for the Christmas Carol. It's a little bit of a drive from Detroit, but totally worth it. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because they don't serve alcohol. Aside from that, it's perfect!

Saw "A Christmas Carol" as a family. Quite nice having a small group caroling and entertaining the crowd before the main show began. The professional set design & special effects were an unexpected touch. Great cast & crew. One of best live shows I've seen and will be happy to come back to see more shows here.

The theater is located on Oakland University campus, with plenty of parking. The theater seating is nicely spaced out so there is plenty of height between you and the other rows.Things are outdated and can use some sprucing up. Once you enter the restrooms are to the right. There is one set of restrooms on the right side of the hallway but there is a larger restroom if you look to the left.

We saw Native Gardens. It is a funny yet realistic comedy about handling conflicts with people. It is a very new and popular book and therefore so is the play. Excellent from price, the stage design, the plot, character sensitive acting, and the cast- audience interactive talk after. I encourage you to check it out for yourself.

Great place to go see the camper and RV show. Had a good time. The only complaint I would have is at each bar area where the line was 50 ft long, they would have done much better if they just put one more helper behind the bar instead of just one person to handle hundreds...! They are there to make money and I know myself and others were discouraged from even standing in line for 30 minutes to get a beverage. But they get you either way because even the water in the pop machines was $4 a bottle! It's just so sad when we know that bottle of water only cost them like 20 cents.

Attend the LEGO fest/Brickfest here. It was a blast from the past for me! I enjoyed the life size statues of Lego! The sheer time it took to build those was mind-blowing 😳. The glow in the dark pieces was super cool as well. All the children that were there were amazed as well. I recommend this for everyone especially the children. Even if it's just to support the creativity in them and get them away from all the electronics for a bit 🤭😂. It was worth it.

Had a BLAST at Detroit’s Biggest Motorcycle Swap meet!!! For the great and affordable price of $8 a person, the hubby and I got to spend the day, (doors open from10am-4pm) walking around and buying nothing but motorcycle parts! We had to make 3 trips to the car as we bought so much stuff, for our 73’, 74’, and 80’ Ironheads! Even scored wide glide front end for only $100! 😱And I of course bought 2 Harley Davidson tshirts for the low price of $15 total! This is the BEST place to score some parts,leather, helmets,jewelry,patches and clothing and anything to do with the biker lifestyle! Especially for people that own and love vintage motorcycles. This will be a yearly outing for us definitely!

The RV show was pretty good, but they didn't have much in the way of cool items to purchase... things like fire pokers, items to cook with, etc. Drinks & food were ridiculously priced. Paid almost as much for 2 drinks as we did the entry fee for the 2 of us.

I immediately got lost when stepping inside but was quickly directed where to go. There are bathrooms everywhere and everyone is friendly.Inside the ballroom there are food vendors and concessions. Prices of concessions are a little high but to be expected. Food was good.Conference building was clean, spacious, and parking lot was easy to navigate.

The setups were well placed and eye-catching. We will definitely come back.

Went for Brick Fest Live. Could not believe they out did last year with NOTHING again! Been to 3 and the last two were horrible. Same Lego models, and handfuls of Legos on tables for kids to play with. NOT keep! They only sell $99.99+ Lego sets or get the kids by card packs of Lego people. VERY expensive items. NO food. Just a beef and pickle stand, and a pretzel stand. Didn't buy pop from vendor machines. Last years was a year expired. Nice! VIP only gets the kids stickers, a pin, and an autograph/photo by the Lego Masters. That is their ONLY attraction. The Masters. Awesome people. Will I be going back in 2025? Nope! Done. Bye.

Bailey P — Google review

Was there for the Michigan State Fair. I was there during the day into the evening. The parking was plentiful and well organized. Would have been helpful to have more clearly marked exits. Many rides but lines were so long it became tedious with people taking cuts in line, sometimes because they couldn’t tell where it began and sometimes just rude. Not worth a fight or argument. Need better way to maintain line order. Circus was pleasant. When tightrope performers asked for people to remain seated it would have helped to have ushers or someone to pause steady stream of people coming in.Overall it’s not the Fair I remember as a kid in Detroit growing up but something to do during the Labor Day weekend. Way too crowded.

It also has well-known Disc Golf Courses which are considered some of the best in the country.

Its good place to enjoy with family and friends. Before going here you better take some playing stuff like ball,bat, frisbee or any other stuff.

Lovely area. I wish it had more trails. Overall, very peaceful and beautiful.

The park itself is excellent with a nice paved trail and grassy side areas for you & your dog. However, this place suffers from excessive bugs. Notably, the Ticks. This place is totally inhabited and swamped with Ticks and fleas. Your dog will pick up Ticks if he/she goes into any grassy area, and especially the longer grass. So unfortunate that so many ticks and fleas make this place great to see from inside the car, but fails to be a place where I would choose to walk my dog or go for a run. This place could a gem with major cleanup. People you run into are great though!

The photos don't do justice to the metropark. Nestled 25 mins away from Ann Arbor, is this beautiful park that is simply splendid for its amazing trail, fishing, cycling and kids play area. Do the paved trail to experience the park in its beauty. And if you're in a mood for some picnic, this is a superb spot for some good food, good company with a great view!

One of many amazing Metroparks in Michigan. Great disc golf and even greater Mosquito factories! Bring bug spray.

The two Disc Golf courses are some of the best in the country. And are absolutely amazing to play on. It has a paved course all the way around the park for running biking and rollerblading. I also believe there is rental for kayaks on the Huron River. The fireworks rule. I could just keep going and going.

Really enjoyed the disc golf course here, especially the tree faces around many of the holes 😊

Large, wonderful park with plenty of parking. You may see deer, cranes, or other wildlife. There's a lot of pavilions that are rentable, have picnic tables, and are spread out quite far. Some of these are in very beautiful settings, like along the Huron River. Camping spots are available, in a more remote area of the park. There's walking, biking, skiing paths, even a popular disc golf course. Basketball courts and baseball soccer fields are available. Pickleball courts will probably be there soon . Children's play park is nice. The Huron River runs through this park so places to put canoes or kayaks in the river are there, but limited, so call or check online. A rental facility is at the main office. The last I knew they rented cross country skis, disc golf items, and bikes. There are lots of shaded spots if you don't want to spend all your time in the sun.

I like Hudson Mills and I think it's great that they have two disc golf courses. I don't love that the metroparks ask for additional payment to use the disc golf courses (as opposed to my annual membership). I think in terms of the courses, they are pretty good but not the best. Amenities are great! Overall a great park.

As close to a perfect park as you can get. Our last trip out we played disc golf for a couple hours, went to river and had lunch, then kayaked for a couple hours. There are lots of picnic tables, grills, and tons of benches to make lunch great. If you drop in kayak above rapids and walk under the bridge the water is smooth like ice and beautiful. We went upstream to the canoe campsite, really nice. The rapids are fun and easier to navigate than Delhi.

Wonderful golf course. It's long and a little difficult now since I'm a senior. Previously it wasn't quite so long. Haha

Great park to walk, run or bike. Easy trails with scenic river views. Has Disc golf course, picnic spots, and good kayaking. Park was taken care of and clean.

Hudson Mills is another great example of a metro park system that we are very lucky to have. The walking and bike paths are beautiful and very well maintained. The river is beautiful any time of year. Cross country skiing coming up along with all of the special events make the metro parks an extremely good value!

The two disc golf courses offer some of the best play in Michigan.

It’s a metro park and has nice, scenic trails that are paved. Baseball fields, volley ball courts, soccer fields, a visitor center, and disc golf course.

Nice place to visit. Flat with nice asphalt roads :-)We went for a sugarbush trail and pancake breakfast. The pancakes were delishes.

Fun day on the Huron River. Perfect day, lovely row with the kayaks. Fun day, lots of turtles, even a Bambi waiting for Mom to return. Eagles too.

One of my favorite parks. My family has been visiting Hudson Mills since I was young. We used to come every Sunday and my dad would play basketball with his friends. Lots of good memories! Now my husband and I have the yearly metropark pass and we bring our golden retriever here all the time! Tons of trails and the views of the river are nice.

Sprawling park offers riding, hiking & biking trails, plus water sports, campsites & horse stables.

A great place to bike, hike and run. Many trails that offer a peaceful time with nature. Completed a snowy hike with the Michigan Gravel Grinders group and look forward to going back again soon

Not a bad place, not a great place either; I guess it really depends on what you are looking for.The best feature of the this park has to be the hiking. There are many nice trails that are small and large and some that are open or out in the woods. The trails are good for biking as well.The camping is another strong attribute to this place. There are two campgrounds right in the area; one being a little bit more spacious than the other. From what I was researching, there is a rustic campround in the area as well, but when I went to visit, it was closed.The roads leading into the park can get quite rough. I ran into a massive pot hole and I'm thankful to have not gotten a flat tire.The Beach area is quite underwhelming as well. Both the beach and swimming area is very small. Also, from what I observed, none of the campsites are located on the beachfront. So driving to the beach may be your best bet.Overall, not the best recreational area for swimming. Hiking and biking seem to be this park's strong suit.

Highly recommend renting one of the rustic cabins. Tons of room for activities outside too! The outhouse is a bit sketchy though, but that’s the joys of rustic.

Murray Lake is always a great experience. Every site has its own character and is pretty well separated from neighbors. Just don't forget your bug spray!

Dayna W — Google review

This place has large mostly grassy sites in the modern campground. There is information on trees and wildlife posted around. Lots of good playground activities instead of simple swings and slides. There are tree trunk carvings and the most lovely Lending Library I've ever seen. The bathrooms and showers are clean. Whatever Ranger is managing this place is doing a fabulous job

Gorgeous place, very clean. Most fellow campers were families. Tons of RVs.We were in the Lower Campground.There were a few loud talkers camping near us who stayed up past 11 pm, but that only bothered me bc my kid was afraid. They were actually not too bad, just had a few drinks and said a few bad words, but I was this close to going over and speaking with them because my guy was scared.Near the trail there is a play area with this (octagonal?) ball pit for gaga ball. There is also a kind of field and something else (I can't remember)...but not swings or slides or anything. Just a place to gather.Metal ring firepits for building campfires.Bathrooms had running water and showers were across the hall. There are handicapped combination bathroom plus showers.There are 4 or so parking spots in front of the big bathrooms. There are also vending machines there for drinks, snacks, and ice cream bars. Down a bit from the bathroom parking is a water spigot for dishwashing and I guess dousing water.The well water in the bathrooms smells okay, but we brought water.They restocked the bathrooms often and they were pretty clean with working toilets and sinks!Lots of doggos.There is a visitor guide in an RV in the upper area.The bathrooms are lot but there are dark spots. Have a light for the walk. Phones had decent service. A little spotty. I had two Zoom meetings. For the second one I had my student call me on my phone for the audio so I used less bandwidth and I kept my signal so long as I stayed up at the ice/wood station.I can't remember the voltage situation. We had no problems but also had a tent and no big appliances.Curiously few bugs or critters. But then, it was a very crowded Labor Day weekend.Pics are from 2021 and 2023. Bishop Lake area.

Everything was great, except the pics for Jump Island were still online, so specifically, I reserved a site there & planned to go, but it is no longer there. Other than that, the kids had fun at the park. The beach & sensory play area were their favorite. Need to update site to mot mislead campers about the water obstacle couse. Other than that, was a great experience.

Richard W — Google review

Nice trail, marked well for the most part. You have to walk down the road a short distance to catch back up with the trail (may have been a poor interpretation on my part 😉) Bathrooms were clean and the grounds well maintained. People were friendly on the trail.

Char E — Google review

The only positive thing I can say about this place is that the staff at the very friendly. The negatives are as follows.. the place is very very busy, you can expect someone to walk drive or bike by your campsite at least every 20 minutes between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. . The campsites are very small and way too close together. You can hear absolutely everything your neighbors are saying or doing. The quiet time is not reinforced. We had a man a few sites down from us screaming and playing loud music up until 1:00 in the morning and even the rangers that drove by didn't stop him. The bathroom was disgusting, smelled horrible, and was almost always out of toilet paper. We had a good time at the beach but the only fishing to be had is from a fishing pier and the water is too shallow to actually fish so you would have to rent a kayaker canoe to actually do any sort of fishing at this place. Good place for some but not for those of us who want some privacy and quiet while camping.

Mandy M — Google review

Reviewing the Lower Campground at Bishop Lake. Choose a site on the outer loops, the interior loops are horribly cramped. There are very few trees anywhere, so even on the outer loops look at the photos to get a site with a tree. The shower house is centrally placed to be accessed by both the upper and lower campground. It is very clean and has private showers.For summer months an inflatable jump island is at the swimming beach. Super fun.I gave this campground a lower rate because the sites are small and have absolutely NO privacy. Backing a larger RV in off the narrow roadway would be difficult. Despite this, it was generally quite and peaceful and the bird watching was good!

Deb M — Google review

All I can say is there was no mosquitoes! Everything else was great also. Camping is wonderful here with lots of people that contribute to the decor. Great place to plan a yearly Halloween camping trip will post more photos as the weekend goes on.

Gilbert G — Google review

This place is a must for Annual Harvest Festival Campout! The best Halloween fun for kids. This year was our second year and we will be coming back for sure. People invest so much to prepare their campsites with Halloween decorations. There are many activities for kids. Lake Bishop is beautiful for a morning or afternoon walk. I even got to paddleboard in the morning this year it was so warm and sunny.

I had such a fun experience seeing RENT here. The food was good, the service was excellent, and it was delightful to get a live show with dinner. The coffee and tea station was a thoughtful added touch. This is a delicious way to support the Arts.

Glenn F — Google review

This is a unique spot for a weekend night out. For dinner and a show, it was priced just right! And not a bad seat in the house!Particularly impressive is that the wait staff doubles as the stage talent. Hard work, for sure! While their table side attitude may be a bit gruff (at least our server), it's made up for by on-stage talent.The food was quite tasty, but a bit over salted. Additional bread is, sadly, not am option. And there was a dessert menu change that was disappointing, as I had a food sensitivity that prevented me from enjoying it.The show itself was incredible! The sound, the set, the acting... all wonderful!I'll be back.

First time guest at this venue, but I’m no stranger to dinner theater. The Dio has a great reputation within the community and I was not disappointed. In fact, my expectations were exceeded, which was truly a pleasure! Guests are seated promptly and the first course is brought out immediately upon being seated along with a carafe of water for the table, which is a great touch. The dinner is served plated and the serving size is generous. Dessert is served during intermission. Alcohol is not served, but guests can bring in their own libations should that be desired. But the best thing about the Dio is the show! Top notch! The costuming was outstanding and the set was just perfect for a small stage. Every seat is a great seat, you will be able to see the full stage regardless of where your table is located. The actors were amazing! So much talent here, and with the smaller venue it really made me, as an audience member, feel like part of the show. I will definitely be back and would encourage you to treat yourself and support this wonderful dinner theater! You will not be disappointed!

My friends and I have been coming to see a play for our Christmas outing for the past few years. The plays have always been great, some food is better than others... But this year was outstanding! 2 thumbs up and 5 stars hands down. The Great American Trailer Park Christmas Musical was hilarious and entertaining and We loved every minute of it! Highly recommend seeing this one! Actors are amazing. I'd tell you my favorite but I wouldn't be able to decide! And this year's food was just as good! Don't miss this one!

Paul D — Google review

We joined friends for an evening at The DIO for their production of Christmas Carol'd. The show was of great quality and was very entertaining. The dinner was delicious and servings were abundant. As The DIO is a dinner theater, some will find themselves seated with their back to the stage ... requiring moving away from the table to comfortably view the production. This was only a minor compromise to an otherwise wonderful evening of dinner theater!
