    This is a must stop in Detroit. Detroit Historical is free to the public but donations are recommended. It is easy to stop and read all the information in the museum and you could spend 2 hours getting easily.

    I visited this place because this is where my husband's company held their holiday party. Parking was easy. I'd never been there before, but it was still quite nice. If you enjoy history, you'll enjoy a visit to this place. They have models and replicas, lots of pictures, and even some hands on things you can do.

    What an incredible community resource. I love the displays, exhibits, especially the frontier Detroit areas. I think the downstairs area with the street and different eras of the city was beautifully put together, I think it would be a great place for a prom or something. Also the exhibit on the riot was powerful. Would go again. A quick and educational must see.

    This museum is excellent for visitors of all ages and it is free. We just paid $ 7 for parking. The displays offer a wealth of information about Detroit's history as well as the surrounding areas. Did you know that the museum's collection contains over 250,000 precious artifacts. We loved the movies that were located all throughout the museum. They were not too long and to the point. Benches are available for those who like to sit. You can take the stairs or elevator to visit all 3 floors. There are various displays and play areas for children. The lower level looks like an old village with shops and an awesome train display. The trains move and you get the accompanying sounds make it all look real. The museum does accept donations. We will definitely go back, especially with visitors from out of town.
