3 Best Places To See in Detroit, MI

We found this museum to be a very important lesson in history. From the minute we walked in the door to our exit about 4 hours later we learned so much. The displays are interesting, though to get the most out of them there is quite a bit of reading to do. A few of the exhibits need some updating, but overall most of the displays were interesting and well-done. The staff was very friendly and helpful making sure we got the most out of our visit.

I actually went to the African American Festival which was outside of the Museum. It was great! The entertainment was excellent! The crowd was great. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I've been going every year for several years. I absolutely love going.

What a wonderful museum, a true gem for the city of Detroit. Our school took a class trip and the impact of this museum is lasting. The guides have such a depth of knowledge and make this such a unique experience.

My eight-year-old son dissected a squid at our local library, and he learned so much and had a blast! He had never done an activity like that before. He really enjoyed finding the beak and eyes, and learning about how flimsy the cartilage backbone is. He said he had so much fun, and I was happy for him to have such a great educational activity to do during the summer when school is not in session.

We did a Dino Workshop with Cam and Emma. They did an AMAZING job keeping the kids engaged. My 4 and 8 year old loved all of the different activities, from building foam skeletons to digging for a non-moveable fossil to digging in the "sandbox" to find fossils from Michigan.

We had a fantastic experience at the Michigan Science Center! My wife and our two boys had an absolute blast exploring all the interactive exhibits and hands-on activities. There was something exciting around every corner, and it kept the kids engaged. The highlight of our visit was definitely the Big Bird and Elmo show in the planetarium. Seeing familiar Sesame Street characters combined with the incredible planetarium experience was a perfect way to introduce our boys to astronomy and science. The staff was friendly, the facility was clean and well-maintained, and there was a great mix of educational and entertaining exhibits for all ages. If you’re looking for a fun family outing in Detroit, I highly recommend the Michigan Science Center. We’ll definitely be back!.
