20+ Attractions & Museums To Explore – Detroit Michigan
Whenever I visit Detroit Michigan, I get a little overwhelmed on what to do and what to see. There are so many things to see and do. It’s a place that you have to spend a few times visiting, plan your trip and make multiple trips. My list of Detroit museums and Detroit attractions is pretty long. Depending on your families attention span, you may need to pick a few and come back for another visit. Or have multiple days to see all of Detroit.
To make things easier on you (and your family). I like to print out a map of the area from Google maps and map out where everything I want to see is located. I then write down the address, hours and days the places are open. It gives a visual on how to map out where to drive to in what order. It also helps me figure out where the best central location to stay would be for the trip.
