Reviews
Staff is absolutely amazing here. I really enjoy the atmosphere, and the artists they bring through this gallery. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area - check their exhibition listings first though and even call and ask just to make sure there's no gap in exhibitions for your visit.
It is a heartbreaking experience to handle the burial of a loved, However the staff here were so comforting. The grounds are exceptional and well maintained
Someone really got mad about this blocking Jefferson access... The expansion of this area for green space is great for gatherings and makes the Spirit of Detroit more accessible. We need more spaces like this. Traffic isn't even bad.
Very cool place. Love that it's free and open to the public. It's a nice little spot on Belle Isle with small animals and birds. Kids will love it here. They have outdoor seating for you and the fam. There's also a little free library in front as well!
I love a hands on nature center. This place was small but nice. Native Michigan reptiles/bugs/birds. Lots to learn and hands on things for all ages.
Place is always so filthy, the events that take place here are poorly organized and incredibly boring. The nonprofit that runs events at this park really needs new leadership.
Not sure why they are even open right now. They said they have no exhibitions until late June. Do they not even have a small permanent collection that could be shown between exhibitions? Seems a little odd to me and makes me wonder if this is even a legitimate museum. Hopefully they pull it together soon because Detroit really needs a good contemporary art museum! From reading past reviews it appears they rarely ever have exhibitions, yet are always open taking donations. Seems sketchy
An amazing museum.
The DIA connects people to art with programs, resources, and a diverse collection—among the top six in the nation with over 65,000 works. Way too big to do in one day.

Had an excellent time here. Tickets were surprisingly affordable as well. It's very small, which is surprising and amazing when you consider how many musicians were there and record they created. I was happy to hear of their plans to add additional buildings behind the original house to showcase more of their memorabilia. I was raised on this music and it brought back so many happy memories and taught me so many things I didn't know. 10/10.
A beautiful place to walk and enjoy waterfront views of Detroit and Windsor. Plenty of photo opportunities, lots of space.
They ask for a parking pass purchase. Walking, bike riding or taking the bus are alternative FREE options.

Finally made it here after a year of living in Detroit. Very cool statue and love all of the seating and the outdoor park that has bouldering equipment, swings, and instruments to play with!
The DIA is one of the true treasures of Detroit.
I have been dozens of times and will continue to go every so often. The art is amazing but the architecture of the building itself is breathtaking.
Entry is free for Wayne and Oakland county residents, not sure about others.
It's always worth a visit, HIGHLY recommended.

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 thawed 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.

VOTED #1 ART MUSEUM IN AMERICA this year!!
Thinking about coming to the DIA? Perfect place to spend the entire day! So much to see, rich history, great tours and you’ll always see something new/different every visit.

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.

There are lots of neat exhibits to see. They have animals you can check out. We were watching the bird area where the feeders are. These four deer came out and started eating. It was neat to see them through the window so close. They also have interactive displays. The bee hive was neat to see. The inside comb was pretty cool. It's free to check out also. Definitely recommend. I've been there several times now.
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.
Downtown Detroit is a beautiful site to behold. Campus Martius adds to the beauty. From people enjoying lunch outside to dogs being walked and children laughing. Visiting this area leaves a warm feeling of togetherness and community in your soul. And it's always a treat to see the Detroit mounted police.
Simply put, the MOCAD is an amazing museum that not enough locals or tourists know about.
There is no admission fee: they take donations and have some items for sale that go towards the museum. They regularly cycle out the exhibitions, which are usually from local artists. Each one I see is masterful, and they incite commentary. I'm particularly fond of the viewing room, which always has some cool short film or exhibit that forces you to be present. The rest of the space flows nicely, allowing you to walk through each area confidently and without confusion. It's always clean (even the bathrooms) and the staff are very friendly and chill.
The MOCAD Café is also a delight. You don't need to visit the museum to visit the café, as it's located directly to your right as soon as you walk in, bypassing the museum all together. The space holds plenty of tables with seats, and there are more seats at the stocked bar. The bartender, a young black guy with a great sense of style (of a name I have forgotten), was a peach. He's always friendly and quick with orders. He claimed that he was the curator of the drink menu for the winter season and let me say: he did that. I tried two drinks, and they were both outstanding. They also sell baked goods and non-alcoholic beverages like coffee and tea, and most are locally sourced. I had a slice of vegan orange cake, and it was delicious.
Parking is a breeze. There's plenty of street parking, and even on busy days, the furthest you'll walk is 1-2 minutes.
Visit the MOCAD and make a donation, big or small. They deserve more support from the community they already support so much.

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!
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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
Always great! Kid friendly. Don't understand the narrow and non-accessible decks in several locations.
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…

I could not believe how great the pieces are! Gorgeous building, amazing display. LOVE!!! And to top it all off they have a great restaurant with a very nice atmosphere right in there!
Has so much fun ice skating with my boyfriend at campus martius park. One thing I was not at all throw the boat was the fact that there was no restroom available to us unless we were to go in and purchase something at some restaurant as we waited to ice skate. Way too many people on the rink at one time at 11:00 p.m. which I found to be weird but it was still very beautiful and something everyone should experience.
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.
This area is awful for the people who actually live in Detroit and use Woodward for transportation and not sight seeing. I’m extremely disappointed that so many streets including a state highway (Woodward) have been blocked because of an attempt to attract tourists? Suburbanites? We have Hart Plaza and Campus Martius. There’s the riverwalk and adjacent areas. That’s a lot for a city that’s only walkable 6-8 months out of the year. If folks love it that much, please move it somewhere other than at the intersection of the two major streets in downtown. Get rid of this and open up Jefferson and Woodward in 2024!
World class art museum! Spend the day wandering through the masterpieces located here. 3 floors of art as well as sculptures outside on the grounds. Terrific gift shop as well!
This was the coolest aquarium I’ve ever been to! Seeing the eels, gars, octopus, and more was incredible. The volunteer near the octopus was so friendly and knowledgeable! It was great to just hear her talk about how cool the octopus was. Definitely one of my new favorite places!!
Campus Martius Park
Every year we come to this park to enjoy the Christmas Tree. Huge tree. Every year it happens.
We enjoy the atmosphere, lights, and activities. It's different every year. Never disappointed.
The parking could use some work.
Highly Recommended

I found out about this place on instagram Detroit bucket list page. I was really excited about taking my son to this place and we enjoyed really glad we went. The artwork really inspired my son in ways I just didn’t expect so that was awesome. They Detroit bucket list pads on IG did show a bookstore that we were looking forward to seeing but there was no bookstore only the gift shop with a few books but the bartender was great and the drink options were and mix between trendy and old fashioned. This place is donation based so please donate what you can because it’s worth it.
I took my little 6-year-old granddaughter to see the Christmas sights. 🎄
They have a new popup and food and horses 🐎 sleigh rides and family-friendly activities to do. She got a balloon which was $15 that she loved. We ate hot waffles with different toppings for about $8 each. Parking was $10 in the structures it's easier than searching for a spot.
I love and enjoy my city!!!

Very small area to fit all of the holiday season activities. Always busy and full of people. You need to watch your kids very carefully.
They had nice Christmas tree, and tiny skating ring, with long lane to rent equipment.
My kids wanted to get in, but was too cold and long to wait.
Overall experience is acceptable.

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.
I go to play disc golf and while generally busy it's always a good time. Your choice between longs and shorts, and they are at different angles so the shorts are a fresh look at the holes. The dog park not only is new but also has lots of dogs I recognize, so it seems people who go to the dog park go regularly.
Campus Martius is always fun, any season of the year. More in summer and during Christmas. The rink is busy, lots of the other related things around. Good food options around. Parking is not that easy to find during the peak season and times of the day.
Detroit downtown has got back it's lost charm and beauty.

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.
It was a wonderful experience. The children had a wonderful time. I took my own children back and they had a wonderful time.
Such a fun place for the whole family. Beautifully decorated with lots of places to take photos.
My daughter LOVED the hockey stick putt putt (she plays hockey)

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.
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!
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!
I went to the pop-up shops on Sunday. What a divine treat to get to see the beautiful works of art and to meet their creators.
This place is so amazing. The staff was so friendly and informative. The animals all looked so healthy, and the aquariums were so clean. I love bringing my family here.
Family friendly space in downtown Detroit. Fun climbing/swinging and musical instruments to explore. Right across from GM ren center and the Detroit River walk/ Hart plaza
They've really done some wonderful things in this area! Easy to access from the people mover, very festive and fun through all the seasons. Lots of great shops and dining as well as the Monroe Street midway that has rotating kid friendly fun. Clean, vibrant and welcoming.
They do not want strollers inside. This can be hard if you have kids under 2, your going to hold them the whole time because none of the tanks reach to the floor.
Very nice place. Clean, warm.
The kids are very interested in the animals.
Really enjoyed it.
They have an octopus!

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! 🎶💞🎶❤

Starting to look really beautiful!
Had a great time. Food is the best out of all the sports arenas around there. The Mexican place in the food court is amazing! You can't go wrong everything good. Great service. Remember you can't take a big bag or purse with you. If you do you have to leave in car or check it in. Service employees at the shops were all so nice. Great atmosphere would definitely go again. The musicians outside of park were phenomenal!
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.
Unexpected and beautiful. Lots of beautiful animals and beautiful architecture. I wonder if they spend all their lives in that little space or if they get to spend some time in a bigger space. There was a lovely woman who helped my friends and I identify the two needle fish in the garden eel tank. There's Itty bitty Hermit crabs in some of the tanks that are so cute.
Nice educational place for the kids and adults. There’s plenty to learn. You can explore the nature side of Michigan. The staff was super friendly. The place was very clean. There’s lots to see. Do check them out.
Such a beautiful aquarium. Do visit if you are in Belle Isle Park. It’s not too big but the variety of fish is amazing. Its free of charge. They also have a small souvenir shop to support the aquarium. The staff is super friendly and helpful. An amazing local attraction. The aquarium is super clean. Do check them out.
A wonderful and modern Major League Baseball stadium in the heart of downtown Detroit! Lots of attractions in and around the ballpark. Easy to park and walk around! Large Detroit Tigers gift shop with access from outside the stadium. Many restaurants and nightlife all around the area. Prices are reasonable! Not a bad seat in the house! I definitely recommend watching a baseball game here sometime!
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.

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 full
tour. 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.

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!
This was my first visit to Comerica park and it was a really nice stadium. I did not explore a lot of the concessions or anything, but from what I saw there were many food and drink options.
The seating was nice as it wasn't as steep as some stadiums are in terms of the layout. Nice skyline views when looking to the outfield.

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

We’ve visited over 25 MLB parks and this is by far one of my favorite. Smart concourse design makes it easy to get anywhere in the park, and everything is open. Great views from anywhere and the Tiger Den concept is brilliant. More stadiums should replicate this old style box seat concept. It was so great to watch the game and not be constantly interrupted by people needing to get up and around you. The attention to detail incorporating tiger themed everything into the architecture and signage adds to the character and fan experience. It is a cash-less park which is never heard of. They have machines to turn your cash into gift cards you can use at the park if needed. And if you want Michigan Craft Beer head to the vendor behind 104. Would definitely come back here for a game in the future.
Beautiful cemetery, lots of rolling green hills and very well maintained landscaping g. I am glad my friend was laid to rest in such a beautiful place.
An amazing local attraction! The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable and really make you excited to learn about the exhibits. This small aquarium is clean and beautiful and the fish and creatures were all super active when we visited. Would absolute recommend for a date or family trip! So fun!
The aquarium had way more fish than i expected. Definitely need to check it out if you are on Belle Isle. Free admission. Donations are appreciated though! Highly recommend 💚💯💯. Great places for families or a date for couples.
Lovely, extensive, well kept, multi-purpose park with an iconic community house, MoGo bikes, children’s playground, log cabin and apple tree field. Perfect for a bike ride, a health fair, art fair or just a walk or a 5K run in the park.
The Octopus was so majestic to see although I felt the worst for him as they said he was till growing. Being restricted by the size of the aquarium hurts my heart.
The building itself is so impressive. I loved the tile work!

Nice area. Sometimes there are food trucks there.
Very lucky to have turned up to the park on Log Cabin Day, hosted by the People for Palmer Park. Why, you ask? Because free ice cream. Shout out to Guernsey Farms Dairy for their delicious offerings.
Further into the park it feels like an urban forest, trees as far as the eye can see… until Woodward Avenue, that is.

First time visit to the Palmer Park Art Fair. Plenty of parking, easy access to the fair. So many fantastic people and art to see. Great variety with good pricing. Haf a wonderful tome. Will go again next year.
Newest addition to Detroit museum scene with open, minimalist space(s) and lots of great art shows and speakers. A personal favorite aspect is a permanent installation behind the building that is a full scale replica of the artist’s childhood home that visitors can walk through and hang out in.
LOVED this museum. The staff are knowledgeable and kind, the work is beautifully shown and installed, the space is huge! You can feel an incredible level of care - for the art, for the community, for Detroit, for the public. Wish I lived closer so I could be back soon 👋🏽
Its beautiful place to sit and relax in the middle of town. Although it is going thru Lake remake in the middle and I hope it will turn out to be a great place to be.
Went to disc golf. The park is great. A little wet but as to be expected in April. It’s nice to have this little slice of the great outdoors in the city. I have seen deer the last 2 out of 3 times visiting.
entry by donation, so please donate what you can. MOCAD was a great sunday funday stop in the D. they had 5 different exhibits by some amazing artists. Staff is super friendly. If you have time, stay for a drink on their cafe (espresso bar or full cockatil bar)
I think this museum is perfect in size, layout, and location. Big enough to house a small number of installations with an intimate feel. Its not too exhaustive so you can enjoy all art even if you visit to see one artist.
This was one of the last places I wanted to visit before moving further south. Came here to come look at my fathers grave one last time before leaving. We laid him to rest here over 4 years ago and I’m grateful to God that the groundkeepers are keeping his section clean and well taken care of. There are many sections here and I’m glad the people who work here are understanding of how love ones can feel during times of grief.
Love going here for the different shops, the open space, and the games.
Palmer Park has a little something for everyone. The first time I came here with my 4 year old son, just at the start of spring, and there were geese with little fuzzy yellow ducklings everywhere!
Do not feed or touch the animals(not a petting zoo) but a great place to see wild amazing nature... in the city.
there are two parks, a lake with islands and a windmill, super friendly ducks who swim up to you .. dont feed them...
leave no trace there are trash cans...
there is a cool nature walk through the forest from one park to the other splash pads in the summer and alot of people who love this place. Yes it is in city, yes, there are maybe some things you may not see if you are from the burbs parents.. but hey! it builds character, teaching moments right?... no the fountain doesn't work...but it's pretty cool and the splash pad does work! The playgrounds are awesome. mind the one by the splash pad that spinny chair does go fast.
there are tennis courts, handball courts, basketball court, and disc golf course! orchards gardens and primitive grade a Michigan forest... that is fully accessible with a fully paved walking path if one is in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller.

I truly enjoy going downtown Detroit The Heart of the City relaxing peaceful fun atmosphere mini restaurants where you can eat healthy from Campus to Cadillac Square I still also visit when the weather warms up the Riverwalk., where I go and meditate and pray cost of water sometimes!!!
Decided to bury my mom here after unprofessionalism by Woodlawn cemetery where my father is buried. Bonita was very helpful in helping me pick the best location for my mother's final resting place.
Really nice area to walk around. We went on a foggy day and it was so beautiful.
🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸 Free indoors and out. Fun place to take the family. It’s an indoor playground intertwined with natural 🐍displays and learning areas. High energy. ⚡️Clean.
Take the boardwalk trail across Lakeside Drive to the Iron Belle trail. 🥾Easy hike to the east end of the island where the Detroit River opens to Lake St. Clair. ⛵️Beautiful scenery. 🌿🍃🌱🐞🌳🌳🌾🌾🪺

Very nice park in the heart of Detroit. Is part of Detroit’s history to be here. It’s a nice place to spent some time and watch people and building around you. There is much to see nowadays in Detroit as it’s coming back to life. There are times when it can get pretty busy but most of the time there are not too many people here.
Was a beautiful lively experience upon leaving the fast bus from Gratiot. It looks so gorgeous at night and is well kept and pleasant.
What a beautiful place. Go for a walk through or drive. Look at the names and times associated. Google and read the history of these people. Amazing stories of Detroit people and their part in Detroit history. This is a must visit.
Been a minute since I've been down to the riverfront l, specially Hart Plaza and the surrounding area. There is a great little park/playground the kiddos loved climbing on and running around. The Spirit of Detroit and tribute to Joe Louis are also a nice treat. Had a really beautiful day to enjoy some wonderful family time in downtown Motor City!
Very quiet and serene. Beautiful and clean
Easy path to follow. A very well known resting place for dignitaries and famous people. Governors and mayors of Detroit.

Food trucks, family gathering place, basketball hoops, etc.
What a fun stadium to enjoy a game at. I've never attended a concert here, but baseball is a blast.
Tons of entrances make it easy to get in. Lots of food and drink options, just be ready for stadium prices. Stores to get merch and a lot of tributes to see walking around.
Tons of things for the kids and the whole family including photo opportunities and rides.

Great outdoor lights, little heated shops oh, and an amazing heated tent with board games and drinks. Can rent skates to go on the ice rink.
Today was my first time visiting the cemetery. The grounds are very well maintained. The roads were in great condition. I was amazed at the ponds. It was like going to a park. The architecture throughout was beautiful. This is a place where your loved ones will truly rest in beauty.
One of the last gems of the city. Oldest continuously operated Cemetery in the U.S.
@smokeringdet @campusmartious I smashed a half rack with smoked mac n cheese. The food was great and served quick. #kcinspired smoked meat pealed off the bone.
