Toledo Botanical Garden

Park
Nature & Parks
The Toledo Botanical Garden is a vast, sprawling garden filled with plants and sculptures. The gardens are well-maintained and popular with visitors, who can learn about horticulture techniques and explore the artworks and sculptures on display. In the summertime, there's also a music festival and evening jazz shows.
We visited on a Sunday late afternoon in mid-April 2025. We parked in the artist village. There were plenty of spots but there were also a lot more people here than we expected. There is a large playground area with many kids playing in it. Our kids played for a little bit but I think it was a bit crowded for them. We explored this area which has a ton of things to look at and points of interest. We walked over to the hosta area and then the gardens. We did then make a small loop south into the main part of the park to see at some of the great sculptures. We had a lot of fun just walking and talking and it was much less crowded in the rest of the gardens. If we were in the area we would definitely visit again and do some of the other trails. Also because it was mid-April many of the plants were dormant and not out yet. I can imagine it be much more interesting in just a month or so. Next time we would probably bring some food and actually do a full picnic. Plan to spend over an hour here if you really wanted to do a good job exploring.

🌿 Absolutely Worth the Visit We’re from Indiana and had been really looking forward to checking out this botanical garden. It was completely worth the trip. It’s such a beautiful and peaceful place to walk around and enjoy nature. What makes it even better is that it’s not commercialized at all. No entry fee, no pressure to spend money, just a well-kept, relaxing space open to everyone. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.
Joanna A — Google review
We enjoyed our visit here to stretch our legs and relax on a roadtrip, and let the kids play. The gardens were beautiful and the natural play area was very nice. It's not as huge as others, but it's free and very peaceful!
Nelson M — Google review
Wow! What a beautiful park. We stopped in expecting just a small garden and it’s a large and beautiful park full of pretty trees and flowers. It was especially nice to see it in the fall with the fall foliage. Definitely worth the stop.
Donetta D — Google review
We love coming here! I try to bring my family a few times a year. The playground is awesome, although with how crowded it can get, it would be nice to have a 2nd play area. Luckily, my kids also love walking around the trails and checking out the beauty all around. There are many places to stop and rest along the trails. This is a place for anyone and everyone of any age. You can choose to end your walk early or continue on to open fields. Great for letting the kids run around. You may notice a special couple of trees nearby, along with all of the gorgeous plants and views. I won't go into too much without giving everything away, this is just one place you'll have to check out. Did I mention that it's completely free to enter?

The Botanical Garden has very nice walking paths (and benches), and had a lot more flowers than we expected for late September. Their Dahlia garden was in full bloom with some spectacular flowers. There are several small gardens to explore, with art installations to enjoy.

Amazing place to visit especially if you're looking for something free to do in the area! There's plenty of amazing pieces in there. (There are pay to see exhibits as well I'd recommend buying the tickets beforehand if you can but the free exhibits were stunning to)
Cody W — Google review
Stopped in rather briefly but we enjoyed what we saw. The staff were very friendly (shoutout to Reggie) and we loved the collection on the East side. We arrived shortly after they opened on Sunday and only a few others were there. Love that the lot and museum were free. Definitely would come back again.
Nicole R — Google review
Hello future tourist… I recommend this museum. From start to finish the staff is very welcoming. Is great to take the family, friends, or simply go on a date with your significant other. The atmosphere is very clean and organized. I did enjoy that every so often they have new exhibits to view. They also have an area for special events one can have. That was pretty neat too. Now, across from the museum they have Glass Pavilion . They have neat glass art displays. Also, you could see staff members working on new glass projects. I really enjoyed my experience. I hope you like it as much as I did.
Marie V — Google review
This museum is beautiful & all of the art there is as well. I love how knowledgeable the staff there is, how everything is set up & the fact that they have interactive activities for the whole family, especially the kids. If you like art, like learning about new things, & don't mind walking I would recommend you to go check it out.

The museum is beautiful and has a wide variety of art to check out. The staff were super friendly too. One offered to take a photo of our group and another told us a bit of background information about a piece we found interesting. Overall, it was a great experience, and it's awesome that admission is free!

Our girl scout troop came and had a wonderful time. Some of the kids pushed their limits on the wire bike. Our Littles that came along enjoyed the water room the most. The t-rex movie was great our boys loved the movie. The marble show was so cool. We watched it more than once. They have created marble lovers for life.

Spread out so even with bugs groups it isn’t bad. Parking is a pain. Street parking and 2 hour limit. Have to go out and add more. The outdoor part was closed for renovation. Kids loved the airplane you can drive, water station and hurricane simulator. The bike ride would have been fun but my daughter was a hair too short. They also loved the battle bots you could make .
Unscriptedmomlife — Google review
What a fun and interesting place to take children and to learn as an adult as well. So many wonderful things to see and do. Very interactive. They even have a movie theater inside as well as a snack bar. We saw the movie Wild Ohio that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources had produced to showcase many wonderful places in Ohio.

Passing through Toledo on a road trip we stopped here to break of the ride and we were beyond pleasantly surprised. Parking was a cinch and cost $2 for 2 hours right outside on Main Street and our girls ages loved all the hands on activities. We had to drag them out of there as they didn’t want to leave. Thank you, Imagination Station!

The ship was very cool to see and tour and the guides were very knowledgeable and helpful they other cool story's of the area plus it was Halloween and they were dressed as pirates and giving out candy well worth the visit. The tuggs were also interesting. The museum wad full of all the good and bad history of the lakes. Lots of artifacts from the ship wrecks. Im glad i stopped and hzve lots of pictures. Thanks for the cool tour, and keep up the great work and hope to see yall agan. Thanks a whole lot!!!!!

If you want a museum that you can go to from open to close, this is the place. The freighter alone is worth 6 hours alone. The museum is about 3 to 4 hours. There is just so much to see and learn. Being here was worth the trip. The life raft from the Edmund Fitzgerald was really shocking to see as very little had been found when she went down. It's really a nice collection of history of the Great Lakes and learning how important they are to the area.
Meikooceans — Google review
Shout out to Ellen: Our Edmund Fitzgerald tour guide. Very professional for the theme of the material and very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. All the data that was given, she never forgot the compassionate side of the storie as she stated "let's not forget that we lost 29 people that day." The museum part had some great displays and yes there were noisy kids but kids are noisy. The museum itself was great. Thank you for the 50th anniversary experience of the Fitzgerald
Shelly — Google review
On the last day of our family reunion in Toledo to honor my late father, we discovered the National Museum of the Great Lakes just after lunch nearby. We decided to tour both the Schoonmaker lake barge and then visit the museum next door. After purchasing our tickets, the receptionist advised us to board the Schoonmaker first. I am glad she did since we had only thirty minutes to spare and would have missed out on the barge otherwise. It was our first time on a lake barge and we were impressed by its size, especially knowing it was built in the same era as the Titanic. The scale remains striking even today. Unfortunately, we did not have time to explore the museum itself. We managed a quick stop in the gift shop and also took a few photos by the giant propeller at the entrance. Not seeing the full museum gives us another reason to return on our next visit. We also want to thank the museum for honoring the military with discounted tickets. We greatly appreciated that!
Roman — Google review
Visited the National Museum of the Great Lakes as part of the 50th anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald. We had the tour of the James S. Schoonmaker to start our visit, and our tour guide Tom was tremendous. Fielded many questions and was educated and informed to answer all. Made the tour very digestible and entertaining. Tom was an excellent guide! The museum itself was terrific. Very interactive and wide ranging in its exhibits. We enjoyed our visit greatly and would definitely revisit. Great value, and great for all ages.

Great for taking pictures of the Warblers! I’m visiting from Arizona and a friend brought me to Magee Marsh to photograph the Warblers and it was fantastic. Everyone was friendly and pointed birds out - photographers and birders alike! It was a cool place and a great experience.

Came here in late May to catch the end of migration and it was incredible! There were so many birds and so close to you, it felt surreal. Wish we would have had more time to explore. I also loved stopping in the visitor’s center and checking out the exhibits.

Magee Marsh and the boardwalk are absolutely tremendous area for birdwatching. Plenty of parking and the boardwalk is excellent. I was fortunate to visit a few days prior to the start of the Biggest Week in American Birding and saw numerous warblers as well as other species. Look forward to returning in future years.

It was like a dream. Saw so many warblers and other gorgeous birds!! (Visit date, 5/16) My favorite part was seeing a pair of trumpet swans for the first time! Even saw a few turtles. The woodies roost trail has quite a few snakes so be careful!😬

Magee Marsh is FANTASTIC!! If you're into birding, nature, the beach and water, this place is for you! The nice cool breeze from the lake always feels wonderful and the sounds of all the birds and the boardwalk is a very fun and relaxing experience. Also exciting, because you never know what kind of bird or wildlife you might see!

Magee is not only for birders, it’s a great place to walk and enjoy nature. The board walks are well maintained and easy to navigate. During May the Marsh is known as the "The Warbler Capital of the World" during the bird spring migration. It’s awesome to see how far birders will travel to get here.

Had a great time with Captain Jimmy and the Sea Breeze crew. They are very professional and put us on fish right away (when weather permitted). Had an amazing time and made great memories with family and the crew. Can't wait to come back and do it again. Well worth the money. If you have ever had the thought of doing this trip or it is on your bucket list, I would highly recommend Sea Breeze Charters. Again, THANK YOU Caption Jimmy and Sebastian for the great time and fun experience.

We had a great morning on the lake (6/24) with captain Al. We brought our children and 3/5 of us were new to walleye fishing. He was knowledgeable and personable. He did a wonderful job teaching our children with kindness and patience. We limited out, even with all the newbies. I would recommend captain Al to anyone!

My grandson and I went out on 7-16-25 with Capt. Ron with Sea Breeze Charters. Our first Lake Erie experience fishing for walleye. He’s very knowledgeable with several years of experience. He put us on fish and limited out before 11am. Very friendly and laid back. I highly recommend Capt. Ron and I’ll be requesting to go out with him again in the future. Thanks Capt. Ron. We had a great time!

Captain Mike R was great! We got our limit the first day, and just one shy of our limit the 2nd day due to some crazy wind. Our boat had trouble, but sea breeze was right out there immediately with another boat for us. Seriously can’t complain about that! If you are looking for a good charter I recommend Sea Breeze.
Joe W — Google review
Always have a good experience with Sea Breeze. Our group has booked with these guys for the past several years and have had good success with catching walleye. For 2025 Mike and Mike were our captains and they did a great job. You can tell quickly that they have a passion for what they do. The Sea Breeze captains work hard to ensure you are catching fish and most importantly have a good time. Highly recommend them. See ya next year!

Went out with Kevin today and he got us on the fish immediately. He showed us how to set up the first rod and asked us if we could handle it from there. Once we said we could handle it he let us do it ourselves. He was an enjoyable person and made it a fun trip. We caught our 6 man limit in the morning.

National park preserving the historical site of pivotal battles during the War of 1812.
Nice new visitor center and museum. Small but good! There’s not a ton to see outside- just a walking trail across the street with information plaques. I like the small sites like this though since they provide just the right amount of info and activity that you don’t feel overwhelmed. It was also not crowded- had the trail all to ourselves and had a lovely peaceful morning stroll. We also went to the memorial site a few minutes drive away. I would also like to mention that the gift shop was quite interesting- it had stickers and things from other parks around the country! My husband found a Katmai sticker that he couldn’t resist getting.

Great spot to check off my passport bucket list! We got our stamp thinking this was going to be just a visitor center with a field and it was much more! Staff was very knowledgeable, the new education center was full of interactive stuff for the kids to do. I can't wait to come back when it is completed! Very thoughtful to the time frame in which it all took place.
Heather — Google review
This is a great spot to walk around and read about the battlefield history. Start near the parking lot and it loops in the correct order to read the full story on the signs. There are two picnic areas, one covered and one not. There is not a lot of parking and the only restroom is an outhouse. Still an interesting place to stop especially if you like history. Highly recommend checking the River Raisin National Park visitor center first just so you have a better idea of what you are seeing, though the signs do a great job of telling the full story.

A mix of the usual mall stores that you would expect and mom and pop stores I hadn't heard of before. I was quite surprised to see an Apple store and Coach here, the Apple store is smaller than normal but was full of people. A little disappointing that there's really no food court, but there are some nicer restaurants along the outside edge of the mall such as P.F. Changs and California Pizza Kitchen. The mall is a single floor and easy to navigate. There were a few empty storefronts on my visit and 1 anchor store vacant.

I went to order a cookie cake at Mrs. Fields for my granddaughter for her birthday. I ordered a large one. Explained to the first lady what I wanted on the front and then I went back to pick it up and the decorations were very small and could hardly read the writing on it. I was dissapointed with that and writing that was on there "London" was there and she said she could take off the ones that were on there and make the writing bigger so you could read it So I went back in about a half hour and she did a wonderful job of making the writing so you could read what I wanted it to say. So thank you so much for redoing it over and I was very pleased with her decorating work and what she had done to make it look a lot better!! She did a wonderful job and I could actually read it!!t

Looks like there has been a lot of work done to keep this place looking fresh and with the new shops and expansion coming in 2026 it will be very nice. Three stars for now but should be better soon.

Very cool shopping mall, a variety of stores and very clean. The mall staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the shops and surrounding area.

This place is so depressing not like back in the days when there were plenty stores and activities going on. I went into a couple stores in search for a dress for a wedding. It still have some decent stores but not many. A couple stores even closed at 5pm.

I’ve only visited Briarwood Mall once in my life, but the experience left a lasting impression. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the warm atmosphere and friendly staff across various stores. We found great deals and purchased several items, but what made it truly memorable was how much my children enjoyed the play center in the heart of the mall. It gave them a chance to laugh and unwind while we took a break from shopping. It’s rare to find a mall that offers such a family-friendly vibe. We’ll cherish those memories for years to come!

Moved to Michigan from Illinois. Malls do not exist anymore in Chicago and the surrounding areas. So, it's incredibly awesome to be around a thriving mall. Nearly every storefront is open and the mall is very clean. I especially enjoy that the mall opens early to allow people to utilize it for walking in colder months. The only thing missing is a food court. Though, you can find Chipotle, P.F Changs, Panda Express and California pizza kitchen on the premises, as well as a handful of tea and sweets stands. I'm happy to have a thriving mall around. I hope it doesn't go the way of most malls and slowly die. 10/10 would recommend

Lake Erie's only state park offers 1 mile of lakeshore with campsites plus wildlife walks & hiking.
We absolutely love it here!! The beach area has mostly grass and a small sandy shore (not far to walk!) and the trees along the beach help provide a lot of shade! There are also grills and tables for public use. Along with a playground, sheltered bathrooms, and vending machines. This has become a staple for us on a hot sunny day!

The sand in parts of the beach is all finely crushed shells, really cool! Beach was clean, very little trash and water was nice and warm great place to swim. Good place to go fishing, great place to sit and relax.

July 2025 - came here with the family over the 4th of July weekend. The place was packed. They have a shower and bathroom. The beach was nice and the water was warm. No issues and a good park to check out.

The park offers some good points, but the beach could use some improvement. The beach itself was just okay and not as clean as I would have liked. However, I did appreciate the shaded areas provided by the trees, which was a nice break from the sun. The park play area for kids was a great feature and a definite plus."

This state park is right on the edge of Lake Erie. They have a wonderful campground. It’s very tight but you’re right on the edge of Lake Erie so you have a beach right there in the campground it’s amazing. The playground for the children looks great. the bathhouse is wonderfuland then if you decide you’re not camping, you also have access to the beach of Lake Erie. they have a nice concession area lots and lots of picnic tables with grills and a huge parking lot. It really is a nice place.

This place is just horribly unhealthy. It is directly, practically on top of, a gross factory- emitting non stop, fumes. You can smell it and the air quality in the location is poor. Every view from the lake has factories. The water is full of dead fish and the trail is filled with sulfur smells. This is a sad situation for the city. This is 2025 and we know about clean energy..or at least non-deadly energy. Skip this place. Monroe..you can do better for your citizens.

Returned today from Sterling state campground, and we loved it. We did tent camping. There were lot of RVs and very few tent campers. I would like to list what we loved: 1. The ground were leveled and soil was soft to fix stakes in. Whole campground was lush green with grass and few weeds. 2. You would be welcomed with nicely arranged swamp roses which were there in my campground too. Yes there are areas with native plants and milkweeds. 3. Our camping area was near restrooms. Restrooms and shower were very clean. 4. Outside restrooms were placed vending machines. Also separate trash cans were there for paper, waste and cans & bottles. 5. Lake Erie view was pleasing. Lake made weather pleasant. 6. There were activities for small kids like nature walk where the female staff was telling kids to write what they would observe while on their way to Lake Erie and they should write it downl. Provided kids with unlimited foam stickers and crayons to write. Today they had different type of clouds activities for kids. 7. Lake Erie is so cool, water is cold and beach has no fishy smell. Yes few dead fishes were washed off but otherwise walking around beach and tree areas were refreshing. 8. For tent camping, there is more than ample space. 9. Campground has electric outlets. 10. Common playground was there in campground and kids slides and play area was also there if you walk through beach where there was hotdog food truck too. 11. Cottages are there. Negatives that are not campground fault: 1. Lot of mayflies or June flies were there which was sticking around us, tents and out canopy. 2. Trees are small and hence canopy is required 3. First day when we arrived, it was extremely windy that was making it very hard to set up the tent and rainfly over it. 4. View of some power plant is visible. 5. Not private campground. Overall we all loved it, kids would not be bored and so are the adults.

Botanical garden

Matthaei Botanical Gardens, part of the University of Michigan's properties along with Nichols Arboretum, offers an extensive array of botanical and display gardens, a conservatory, and natural areas with hiking trails. The gardens feature various themed displays such as the Great Lakes Garden and Bonsai and Penjing Garden. Visitors can explore diverse habitats in the 10,000+ square-foot conservatory which houses a renowned Bonsai Collection.
Very nice botanic gardens. It was like... 6 dollars for parking and entry to the garden was free itself. There were parts of the Botanic Garden which were quite unfinished, but, the overall walk was peaceful and beautiful. It is definitely worth the trip if you're nearby.
Dominika R — Google review
Matthaei Botanical Gardens is an absolutely beautiful and magical place, especially if you're into photography. My daughter and I spent 5 hours there (inside and outside) and it felt like no time at all. There is so much to marvel at from familiar native plants to tropical fruit trees to 75+ year-old bonsai trees, hummingbirds, frogs, bees, more flowers than you can count, and the occasional chipmunk. 😁 You can stroll through the building, walk the trails, or just sit on a bench in the flower garden and enjoy the scenery. This place is nothing short of spectacular.
Jeff G — Google review
I recently visited Matthaei Botanical Gardens and had a wonderful experience. The conservatory is impressive, with separate sections for tropical, desert, and temperate plants. It feels like stepping into different climates all in one place. The outdoor gardens and trails are peaceful and very well maintained. The children’s garden and prairie area are especially nice for a calm walk or quiet time with family. Parking is convenient, and admission is free, which makes it an easy spot to visit anytime. Overall, this is one of the best places in Ann Arbor to enjoy nature, take a relaxing walk, and explore a wide variety of plants. Highly recommended.

WOW what a beautiful experience!!!!! This place is absolutely magical the bonsai garden is stunning one of them is over 1,000 years old you absolutely must see if you are a bonsai lover !!!!! I went with my fiancé and we both thought it was really cool there were people on site trimming all the bonsai answering any questions we had about our own plants loved that 😗 the gardens themselves extremely wonderful 😍😍😍very well organized each plant labeled which I really enjoyed !! It’s such a peaceful place even with others there you don’t even know it !!☮️they have over 3 miles of trails as well so you know we had to go see that it’s connected to the parking lot of the gardens so it’s very convenient 💖 we didn’t walk deep into the trails because it was very hot out but what we did get to explore let us know want to come back !!! The view of the pond in my photos is one of the pictures from the trails !! If you are looking for something free*** and beautiful to do I suggest putting this place on your list !!!

Matthaei Botanical Gardens is one of my favorite places to visit, no matter what time of year. It is awfully nice during good weather to be able to enjoy the outside trails and gardens as well. It's one of my favorite places to go to escape just for the afternoon.

Great place for some nice nature walks on well marked trails. The wait was to pay for parking as they only have 2 machines...my advice to keep things moving if there's a line is to just pay the max of $6 rather than to try paying for a few hours. Everything else is free to enjoy so $6 for a carload is a pretty good deal!

Totally worth visiting for the day. The only cost is parking. Nature walks and other sections of the gardens are beautiful to see, and it's nice to be in nature. I would recommend checking it out, especially the bonsai tree section!

This is in our top five Metroparks in the Metro Detroit area. Absolutely beautiful. Stunning views , always clean , bathrooms , turtle cove, many parks to visit. Just so much to do with family. Paved areas for bikes or rollerblades. We often see people fishing here & camping. 🏕️ this is definitely a gem & there’s an area where you can put your kayak in on the river. It’s all around a great place for the community to come.

Absolutely stunning riverside "museum" for the whole family. Plenty to read and learn for the adults and older kids, and plenty to see and run around for the Littles.

Great place to watch the sunset, parking available, beautiful view of the river and the island. There is information and historical information everywhere that helps you understand the importance of this place and how relevant it is for the history of Ontario.

Dani E — Google review
The Amherstburg Navy Yard National Historic Site is an absolute gem along the scenic Detroit River. Once home to a British Royal Navy dockyard established in 1796, this site now serves as a peaceful, beautifully landscaped public park that offers both natural beauty and rich history. Walking through the grounds, you're surrounded by lush gardens, well-kept flowerbeds, historic cannons, and monuments that tell the story of the War of 1812. Interpretive plaques and preserved buildings like the Commissariat and Gordon House help bring the past to life, especially during reenactment events. The park is clean, family-friendly, and fully accessible, with benches, shaded paths, picnic areas, public restrooms, and bike racks. It’s a perfect spot for a riverside stroll, catching a sunset, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a coffee or ice cream from one of the nearby downtown shops. Parking can be limited, especially on weekends, as there’s no dedicated lot, but free street parking is available nearby with a 2-hour limit. Whether you're a history enthusiast or just looking for a relaxing place to unwind, the Navy Yard offers something for everyone. It’s one of those rare places where nature, history, and community come together in the best way. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the Amherstburg or Windsor area!

The park is bustling with visitors in the evenings and on weekends and holidays. It's can be a beautiful and peaceful spot to watch the ships or sit and read. The River Lights get more entertaining each year, and they are drawing increasing numbers of visitors to town. It's proximity to local restaurants and small businesses makes it ideal for a stroll. This is a great place to walk and run, especially with dogs!

Viewpointe Estate Winery is a family-owned winery in Essex County, known for its year-round tours of vineyards and cellars, as well as wine tastings. The winery aims to produce affordable, easy-drinking wines and has been successful in achieving this goal with their 'Old 18A' rose being a standout. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful outdoor seating area overlooking the water while sipping on a flight of four wines.
Absolutely love it. My sister and I had suspicions about the place after reading the reviews online. I can tell you how inaccurate those reviews are. This place has a stunning view and delicious wine. The staff is fantastic. Don’t miss out on the wonderful wine here! My favorite was Old 18A Chardonnay.

The location is 10/10 Beautiful lake views and a gorgeous large building and patio. The server we had was kind and helpful but overwhelmed by doing cash and bar service all at the same time, by herself. It was busy. She kept her smile and did a great job managing it all. This is why we are giving two stars! One for her and one for location. Wine: We tasted 6 of the wines and unfortunately did not like any. We were surprised to get our flight of wine and not receive any tasting notes on the wines from anyone. It is more of a sampling than a tasting. Ambience: The patio picnic tables are plastic. From an experience perspective the tables bring the ambience way down. The ordering system (barcodes, pagers) and beer garden style seating made this experience lacklustre. It almost felt like we were at a provincial park seating area. We did not feel like a guest and we left without finishing the wine.

My friends and I visited this winery while staying in the area at a cottage. We were very excited for the charcuterie box but it was beyond disappointing. The cheese and meats were your basic from the grocery store (mozzarella and cheddar cubed). Seasonal fruits and veggies were apples, oranges, and grapes. Nothing local or seasonal about them. Some sliced pear or something to complement a better cheese would be an improvement. The quality wasn’t there for a $30 box. Two people in our party got the pizza. They were lukewarm at best. Another person in our party had a hair cooked into her flatbread. The service wasn’t great. The lady who served my flight didn’t suggest any wines or explain anything about them. The grounds seemed unkept. This could have been a beautiful experience to match the stunning views of Lake Erie, but it only disappointed. My advice is to skip this winery and try any other in the area.

I was excited to visit this winery and was hoping the reviews were wrong… but unfortunately the bad reviews are accurate. Upon entering the store, you’re advised that you have to pick your wine and food and pay for it right away (no issue there and there was no tip option so that was a hint). We picked our wines for tasting which were served in small plastic cups and a plastic holder which looked very cheap. We took them outside and headed to the seating area which was a mismatch of furniture; nice patio sets mixed with plastic picnic tables and plastic tables and chairs. Additionally, no one seems to clean the place, the covered seating area could be so much nicer if someone just used a pressure washer to wash off all the bird poop, cobwebs, dust etc. We received our food quickly but with no plates or cutlery… turns out it’s self serve and we located napkins and cups for water nearby. Though the staff were super friendly, they also don’t seem to care.. maybe because they don’t receive any tips, but nothing was being cleaned up from the patio so plastic cups were flying around from guests who didn’t clean up their table as they left. Needles to say, we were very disappointed as this place has so much potential and a little love would go so far but I cannot recommend going here.. down the road are better wineries!

It's a very busy place, so plan your visit accordingly on weekends. The property is large and flows right down to the lakeshore so it has great views to the south. The "restaurant" is actually in the centre of the facility under the roof but open-aired. The food is served take-away to eat at the tables in that central area. You must go inside the facility to obtain your wine flights and then return outside - an awkward arrangement.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I wish the ambience, staff, and wine would’ve matched the stunning views. Waited outside to be served, nobody came! Served us in plastic cups, horrible aged wine. Would not recommend in any circumstance.

Nice facilities and great views. Music on Sunday of this week was also good. That’s the extent of the good part. Food was absolutely atrocious and virtually inedible. The schnitzel sandwich went in the garbage after one bite. Poutine was fries with canned gravy and 4-5 cheese curds. Add in wine from a “tap” for $8-9, disgusting for a winery, they truly should be ashamed.

Super friendly staff, amazing views, good wine, but DO NOT eat. We ordered at 1 and it's 3 PM and we still don't have our food. We did get free drink tickets, but understaffed for sure on food. Have some wine, enjoy the views, and head out.

The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn, Michigan is a sprawling 250-acre space that offers a comprehensive look at American life and innovation. The museum features an impressive collection of exhibits showcasing the ingenuity and impact of American inventors and visionaries. Visitors can explore iconic artifacts such as the Rosa Parks bus, JFK's limousine, and the world's most accurate replica of the Wright brothers' Flyer.
I'm from Chicago, home to some world class, and world famous museums. The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation and Greenfield Village is hands down the best museum I have been to in my life. We spent 3 full days there over two separate trips, and still haven't finished seeing it all!!! We'll be going back again in the spring to finish it up. The place can only be described as "incredible". An amazing, and eclectic collection of artifacts from American history that will grab your attention at every turn. Greenfield Village is largely a collection of buildings of historical significance that were disassembled where they originally stood across America, and painstakingly reassembled on the grounds of Greenfield. Simply amazing. I highly recommend buying a membership if you plan to attend more than one day. Also plan to see all giant screen movies (you won't be sorry) , and definitely go on the Rouge Factory Tour. It's AMAZING!!! OH YES, and take a MODEL T ride in Greenfield Village! Worth the wait!

It's been a long time since I been there. Was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a lot to take in. Not so many hands on stuff for kids tho. If you have a hard standing or walking a long time there are benches everywhere. Everything is very detailed and descriptive. I would go back in the futer. If you are considering this for a family trip or if you are coming in from out of state I highly recommend coming here and checking out it. Also if you want something like a novilty they have machines that make wax molds of cars etc.

I could have spent five or six hours here. There is so much going on from presidential cars to race cars, the bus Rosa Parks was on to the chair Lincoln was shot in. This is truly a museum of innovation, not just about Ford. If we would have had time I would have spent the time to go to the Ford Rouge plant that assembles Ford F-150s. That takes about two hours. Nearby you have the race car hall of fame. Outside of having a ton of information its just a very elegant building. Its classy enough to be an art museum and some of these pieces are definitely that. Its a must stop in Detroit.

We went to the Henry Ford Museum on my birthday and it was a great experience. Going in, I thought my wife would be bored from it, but she absolutely loved it. There were items from different eras of Americana. We decided on doing the indoor museum upon the threat of rain. I was thinking we'd other be there for a couple hours at most, as we don't dive deep into reading everything, but we literally left at closing. There was JFK's car, trains, old machinery, furniture, Abraham Lincoln's chair, and the actual bus that Rosa Parks sat on. Sitting in her seat, I reflected on how she must have felt. We learned so much. We also ate at the diner that was near the entrance. It was very affordable. I've been here 20 yesrs ago with my father and so much has changed and added. We can't wait to come back for the outdoor museum.

We absolutely love this place! There is something for everyone. They have the museum located indoors that has many great exhibits. Lots of hands on activities for kids. There’s also special events that come to the museum. In addition to the museum there’s the outside village (does require additional ticket) that you can walk around. I highly recommend getting a ride pass so you can ride all of the rides (train, carousel, model T) without worrying to buy additional tickets! Custard is a must!!

Museum
Historical landmark
Greenfield Village is a vast outdoor museum established by Henry Ford, showcasing artifacts and residences of notable Americans. It is often referred to as "America's 1st Theme Park," offering an immersive experience in a carefully recreated late 1800s American village. The village features activities such as riding steam locomotive-pulled trains, hand-carved carousels, and viewing historical mechanical animatronics.
History, hard work, forward thinking, innovative, educational, worth every penny... GO! Henry Ford had a vision and was joined but other brilliant people that shared their vision. Truly, it takes a full day to see everything quickly. Webster's home, Frost's home, and many other iconic figures homes have been moved to this location to be preserved in time. The people on grounds are knowledgeable, helpful, and informative. As an educator, I will take my grandchildren there someday. So neat as you literally step into a time warp!! Tremendous opportunity to stimulate young minds.

Today we were at Greenfield village for the Halloween evening dinner, train ride etc. So todays dinner was cancelled dur to a poweroutage. Some construction crews cut their power supply and it did not come back on until 4 pm. We were really excited to tey the dinner and was sad it was cancelled however we were told they were already working on refunds for the dinner portion of the ticket. We did the train ride and that was fun. The halloween decoration were a bit cheesy and they no longer give out candy. I guess they stopped doing this during covid. They really need to bring it back. They did have several food and drink trucks and sold alcohol; beer and wine. I did not see any liquor. The whole event was relatively expensive but thete were very few activities overall. However there was a large area that was more like a flea market where you could buy alll kinds of things. I kind of felt that i paid to goto a flea market and that the rest was just decorations. If you go, i would definitely go when dark - after 715 pm. Please bring back the trick or treating....

I've been coming here since I was a child. The whole village experience has been greatly enhanced with costumed guides, more rides (love the Model T rides), food choices and seasonal experiences. There are so many fun things to do in every season- something for everyone. So thrilled with Ford 's vision to preserve history so we can continue to learn from it and enjoy for decades to come.

This is definitely one of the best outdoor museums in the country. Lots of historic buildings, cars, trains and things to do. You can check out Thomas Edison's Menlo park, blacksmith demonstrations, other historic demonstrations, but by far the best thing to do is to ride the historic steam engine powered train and also the original model t cars. You really do feel like you are in the early 1900s and riding in a real historic 1914 Ford Model T is awesome. It's about a 10-minute ride and the driver explains the history and you really feel like you are in 1920. Everything is period correct including the cars, the buildings, the street lights, and even the yellow stop signs before they were required to be red. You can easily spend hours checking out all of the buildings, photographing the old cars and trains and still not see everything in one day.

I went during Hallowe’en nights and had the time of my life! There were story tellers, shops, costumes, pumpkins in TREES!! They offered a shuttle service before and after which was great for my grandpa. Paid the extra $5 each for a super cringey train ride ANDS I FREAKING LOVED IT! perfect amount of laughter for the price. It was gaudy, out of pocket, and the perfect way to end a spooky night. One negative thing is that there is A LOT of walking. We’ll rent a scooter for my grandpa next year.

Greenfield Village is like my Disney World. We are members so we support an amazing place and have a safe, fun, educational place to take our grandkids and friends. I would urge anyone to visit at least once and make sure you ride in a Model T, have frozen custard, ride the over 100 year old carousel and see where Henry Ford was born and Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb.

Greenfield Village is a nice step back in time thanks to Henry Ford and his vision to preserve history. The Hallowe’en and Holiday Nights events are wonderful. Great family friendly place to spend some time.

We visited on a Tuesday morning with minimal crowds. (mostly a few moms/strollers and a couple of small school groups) There was no waiting to ride the train, T-Model car or horse carriage rides. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and eager to share the history of the buildings and artifacts. The bathrooms were clean. Some of the food vendors were closed for the season as we visited in September. The highlight of our day was eating lunch in a candle lite inn with recipes from 1850. My husband had a whisky cocktail, bacon wrapped pork with new potatoes and peach pie. I had lemonade, tomato soup and blueberry pie. Both meals included pickles, breads, butter and blackberry jam all served in pottery. We loved the experience!

Cooper's Hawk Vineyards and The Vines Restaurant Canada

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Winery
Food & Drink
Cooper's Hawk Vineyards and The Vines Restaurant is a charming establishment with a beautiful patio, some of it covered. While some visitors found the service and food to be lacking, others had a delightful experience despite impending bad weather. The staff were gracious and accommodating, making guests feel welcome even during stormy conditions. The food was praised, particularly the brussel sprout dish and chicken pot pie.
Their restaurant is really good. They have a good patio!! We usually order their burger, fish and chips and truffle fries. They are so good! Since they are a winery, you can order food and wine taster flights so you can try some different wines and buy wines you like. It is a good business model!

Our wine club (Ontario Wine Society) met tonight at Copper's Hawk Vineyard. This venue is worth the drive to the southern region of Essex County, between Harrow and Kingsville. Their selection of wines is very good, and they also offer a full menu of foods with fresh ingredients to suit anyone’s tastes. On this occasion, we were greeted with a crisp, bubbly reception wine (2022 North Block Sparkling). The five subsequent wines were all paired with the most delicious plates. I liked all the Cooper’s Hawk wines and their price point, so I was happy to buy a couple of bottles before leaving. I especially recommend the Barrel Fermented Chardonnay and the Cabernet Sauvignon. The chefs (Nick and Jordan) prepared special dishes for our wine pairings, and they also offered vegetarian and pescatarian alternatives. The servers were very efficient and friendly, and the hostess shared some insightful commentary on the wines. We are looking forward to our next visit to eat a meal and drink more wine. The lunch and dinner menu is extensive. Depending on the season, it would be advisable to secure a reservation in advance. Of course, there is an abundance of free parking.

We were driving along the North Shore roads and happened along Cooper's Hawk and a great lunch, topped off by a great Key Lime pie for dessert. Naturally, we had to sample some of the delicious wines. Well worth a visit!

Located 40min south of Windsor Cooper's Hawk is a lovely vineyard and restaurant. The venue is split into two parts, one dedicated to wine tasting and the other for dining at their on-site restaurant, both complete with indoor and outdoor seating. Prior to our dinner reservations, we did some tasting before moving into the restaurant. My favorite wines: Heritage and Meritage (reds). For food, we got to try their Brussel sprouts and cheesy rice balls for starters. As for mains, I opted for their half chicken served with frites. Overall, the experience and service was phenomenal, worth the visit!

Had a great lunch at The Vines - Cooper's Hawk. The weather was beautiful and the food was delicious, some of our favourites that we tried were the Arancini, Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich, and the Lake Erie Pickerel. We had a group of 8 and enjoyed quick and friendly service from several staff, will definitely return :)

This place is SO good. We vacation in the Leamington area every year and first tried this place last fall and loved it. We went again last month and were just as impressed. All their dishes are delicious and the service is always great. My only complaint is that the special I had (cod with some sort of bean soup) was only a special and not part of the regular menu. It was incredible. Also, the corn fettuccini was one of the best dishes we've ever had anywhere and it is a shame it isn't an option for lunch. This place is incredible! Will be back again in September!

Went for a wine tour for a friends birthday party. The ladies at the tasting bar we fabulous with great enthusiasm. Would happily come to THIS PORTION again. We went to the restaurant to ask for French fries to go and they said we had to be sat at the restaurant to eat because they are separated from the winery part . We happily obliged and went to sit in. Asked for 2 order of fries and had the waitress roll her eyes, sigh and put on a fake rude act because we didn’t want to order a glass of wine with the fries. (It was our second stop so I was taking a break from a glass). Overall ruined the experience of a beautiful winery experience.

The Zekelman Holocaust Center

History museum
Museums
Research institute
Sobering museum featuring a WWII-era boxcar & other local & global stories of the Nazi regime.
One of the best in person educational experiences for retaining and learning the history of the holocaust so much visual and authentic historical videos and writings from families and survivors. State of the art facility, handicap accessible. I got a picture of an actual rail car used to transport Jews from the ghetto to other places. Reference size I'm 6 foot and the car would be packed with up to 100 people at a time.

Very kind staff. Came here as a educational trip for our daughter. Strikingly an affordable price and very well out together exhibit. It was nice to view the exhibit at your own pace to really get through all the material. Highly recommended.

I haven't been to this museum since grade school, and some aspects are just as I remember them. This is an invaluable experience for anyone who has an interest in WWII and The Holocaust, also for anyone who had families that lived through it, or lost loved ones. The artifacts and exhibits are humbling and devastating, but the spirit of perseverance carries through. It happened before, it is our responsibility to make sure it never happens again.

The staff is knowledgeable, patient and kind. It offers unique opportunities to hear survivors or the children of survivors speak and answer questions. It is an excellent place to learn and reflect.

Quite an eye opening experience on the holocaust. We liked all the details that were on display. I think the lights could have been better placed so as to eliminate reflection on the wall artifacts. Additionally, the font colors and sizes made the texts a bit difficult to read due to dim lighting.

Jim W — Google review
My wife & I went visit here in 2017. From we the beginning we had an kind of idea of what to expect, yet we weren't quite sure what to expect. But upon entering we soon realized this wasn't just an average museum. One of the first things you see as you walk in is one of the actual rail cars used in the transport of thousands to their final destination. The whole place is fascinating, educational, yet very sombering. The items on display were from both sides in story line fashion from the time it began, to end, & how things have progressed since. A picture frame display of an actual tree like the one Ann Frank seen upon her last days is seen at the Museum. The tree is from a seed that came from the tree that provided her the only view of the world outside. The highlight of the trip was story telling from an actual survivor of the Holocaust. He did a very good job, drawing the audience in, as he explained the real story of how his life was during the early years of his life. Folks you can't get more real then that. If you get a chance to hear one of these stories from these folks who lived it I would HIGHLY recommend attending as their numbers are dwindling. The only thing that was very disheartening that was seen, & over heard was from some of the other visitors themselves. Youth groups, & young people in general that displayed a lack of interest in history, & showed a lack respect to those that have come before, & the elder adults with them weren't that much better. Very sad to see. Apparently there's still a battle going on. My only hope is that the battle with the Jewish people, & the unfair treatment of them will one day end.

Park West Gallery

Art gallery
Shopping
Art museum
Show, sale & auction art gallery in a Greco-Roman space displays contemporary & established works.
I recently attended an event at Park West Gallery, and I was completely mesmerized by the stunning artwork that took center stage. This gallery is truly a hidden gem! I had no idea such an incredible place existed until now. The museum is expansive and houses the largest collection of art I’ve ever seen under one roof. Every corner was breathtaking, with pieces that spoke to the heart and soul. It’s a paradise for any art lover. The venue itself was the perfect spot for the event, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the entire experience. Every piece was beautifully preserved and thoughtfully displayed, making it a paradise for art lovers. There’s so much to admire that it’s impossible to take it all in during one visit—you’ll definitely want to come back. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. I appreciated the secure gate at the entrance and the convenience of leaving jackets at the front. The entire space was impeccably clean and well-maintained, which added to the gallery’s charm. Practical details like parking were well thought out too, plenty of space and very convenient. I’m already planning to bring an art-loving friend back here to explore and enjoy this incredible space. Park West Gallery is not just a museum but an experience that stays with you. Highly recommended!

Just returned from a VIP event at the Grove Park Inn. What a phenomenal weekend. The art, artists, and entire Park West team were the best. The event was fun, educational, and more than I could ask for! I can’t wait to hopefully have the opportunity to go again. We even got a visit from a mama bear and her cub as we left. Thank you Park West for an exceptional experience.

I love Park West Gallery. We first were introduced to this company on a cruise ship. We participated in an auction and bought some very reasonably priced art. We were then invited to a VIP event which was fabulous. We purchased more art that we absolutely love. We have subsequently participated in an online auction. We had a ton of fun and got some great deals on some absolutely stunning artwork. The customer service has been exemplary. All of our artwork has been shipped within a reasonable timeframe and has been in perfect condition. The artwork is exactly as described. The reproductions were clearly sold as reproduction, and the original art clearly sold as original and unique art. There were no high pressure sales, and I learned a great deal about new artists that I never would have discovered had I not participated in the educational sessions during the VIP event. if you are looking for high-quality art to make your home look beautiful then I would highly recommend working with Park West Gallery. I am by no means under any assumptions that I am purchasing artwork that is going to drastically increase in price or be a long-term investment. If you are purchasing art from Park West gallery with that assumption then I do not think you are purchasing for the right reasons. If you want to purchase the art because you think it’s beautiful and it’s going to make you happy then this is a company that will help you accomplish that goal.

I could not be more displeased with this company! I commissioned a painting from Michael Goddard, I understood when I purchased this painting that it was coming in a certain frame. But when I received my artwork the frame was broken in all four corners and come to find out it was a extremely cheap plastic framing, along with only a piece of plexiglass. I tried to get the company to help me reconcile my framing issue, my only options were to have them send me the exact same cheap frame take it to a local framer and have them reframe it but they would only reimburse me up to $100! Or they would send me a FedEx label to send the painting back to them they would reframe it and send it back to me. When I asked if I could purchase a new frame they said it would cost me at least $799! This company had invited me on an all-paid trip to Asheville North Carolina to see more of the artist work that did this painting for me. I canceled the trip and I absolutely refused to ever do business with part Gallery West again. Not one person from that company has called me in regards to my disappointment and have certainly let them know how disappointed I am with their company. I went to reframe the painting myself when I did I found out that their company had actually taped my painting to the backboard, the framer was afraid to remove the tape because it might destroy the painting. I cannot believe that this is the type of product they are producing for Michael Goddard! Never again Park Gallery West! The first picture is the new framing the rest of the pictures are of the cheap plastic framing and the damage.

Edited to let everyone know that their reply below with any email to contact means nothing as they just wouldn't reply to your email! If I could give zero stars I would. I purchased a very expensive painting from a Park West art auction on a cruise, which was supposed to include several free prints and EU shipping to avoid taxes and fees. None of that turned out to be true. I was hit with unexpected customs charges and spent weeks dealing with FedEx because of incorrect paperwork Park West provided. The free prints, which were promised as part of the same shipment, were sent separately with errors in the documentation, and they ended up being confiscated. I’ve spent countless hours emailing FedEx and Park West, and Park West’s customer service has been utterly useless. Emails go ignored, staff don’t seem to read what you’ve written, and basic requests are either misunderstood or ignored entirely. For a company dealing in high-value artwork, their aftercare is shockingly bad. What should have been a joyful experience purchasing my first major art piece has become a stressful, drawn-out ordeal. I would strongly advise others not to purchase from Park West

This company is unethical and has deceptive practices. Beware. Was told I was getting an original, which was not the case. Was later informed the artist would be preparing a piece for me that would slightly differ from what I purchased. Was later informed that it would possibly take longer than the 12 weeks they indicated for shipping and delivery. Nothing about my experience with PWG has been positive. Not to mention, they are horrible with follow up. Thanks for your quick reply. However, you’re not going to take the appropriate action necessary. Your senior reps are the ones I reached out to initially and they never replied until I disputed the credit card. Again, poor business practices, and what is being offered is not acceptable.

Great variety of wonderful red, white, rosé and various sparkling wines in lovely bottles. A flavourful taste for every occasion. A lot of care and quality goes into each batch and bottle. Very kind and personable customer service. I have ordered from Pelee Island Winery multiple times now and will continue to do so! I am very glad to have found this fantastic Canadian company! I just wish I lived in Ontario (again) to go for the beautiful winery tour, but am happy I can at least order online. They also offer a nice promotional treat for your birthday. Sign up and place your order, you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful grounds and building. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Great selection and great wines overall. Tasting bar available to make your choice but now it costs money and you get that back on a purchase if you make one. Tours are available and they have a wedding/event area. Unfortunately things have changed though. There used to be discount when you purchased a case of wine which is why we always came there to support them over the LCBO but now the prices are the same and no discount.

Motown Museum

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Motown Museum, located in Detroit, is a renowned landmark and a must-visit for music enthusiasts. It was the birthplace of Motown and played a pivotal role in launching the careers of legendary artists such as Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross & the Supremes, Smokey Robinson, and many more. The museum preserves the '60s charm of Hitsville USA and features Studio A where iconic music that transformed American culture was created.
I literally couldn’t tell you the awe I was in finally going here. I absolutely love and adore soul and blues, and coming here myself (despite the location being local) was in the works for a long time. Firstly, phenomenal museum; I recommend getting your tickets in advance and then showing up for your tour. The tour is lead by one person usually, and you’re in a larger group. So there’s really no pressure to the visit. You’ll learn some neat little facts about Motown Records and see some of the coolest memorabilia ever. You walk in the studios, basically as they were during the peak of Motowns musical presence in Detroit. If you’re reluctant to go, don’t be! Genuinely one of the best hours spent.
Christian P — Google review
This is MOTOWN so there's not much to say because the history speaks for itself. To see and hear about the history in person was a great experience. There are plenty of facts to learn about Motown that will surprise you. To see the original items and hear the back stories is captivating. Viewing the wall with the album covers was interesting because I still have 11 of those albums. The staff was courteous and friendly. The tour guide kept you informed and interested throughout the tour. They are in the process of expanding, so it will become even more intriguing.

So I really wanted to give this place five stars however be aware that it is a very short tour and when they have accomplished their new building I am sure I will be coming back to edit. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and we definitely learned a lot. My aunt who I was there with is high functioning autistic so people sometimes dont notice and I felt like the tour guide was a little short with her. The tour I believe last less than hour and the end of it getting to walk through such an iconic studio is very cool. The gift shop is well stocked and what made this place was the knowledge of the tour guide. I feel that with out her I would have not really learned much and as I said even though she was a little short with my Aunt I will not take away from her knowledge, her enthusiam, and cadence was superb.

Pure history! highly recommended. By tickets in advance is a MUST. In 2024 i tried to walked-in 4 tickets and they were sold out!. This year 2025 i got my tickets in advance through the web site and it was easy and affordable. There are guided tours only but they give you enough time and space to walk around, enjoy the exhibits and take pictures. No videos allowed. Street park and highly get the app before your arrial time, i had luck and found a free parking spot in a nerby street. You can feel the history in this walls, it is an amazing life experience. I dont recall the name of my guide but he was so easy going, fun, entretained, the best.

Comerica Park, the vibrant home of the Detroit Tigers since 2000, is a must-visit destination for baseball fans and food lovers alike. Nestled in Downtown Detroit, right across from the iconic Fox Theatre, this stadium boasts unique features like impressive tiger statues and a charming 50-foot Ferris wheel. The diverse food court offers an array of delicious options—from classic Detroit-style pizza to mouthwatering hamburgers and international flavors that cater to every palate.
First time at this stadium. We paid the extra for super close parking right in front of the stadium as we had a carload. Man was that worth it! 1 minute walk into the park and no traffic leaving. Bit of advice is to make sure you don’t errantly stand in the bag check line if you have no bag! Walked straight in with almost no waiting. Chili cheese fries were amazing! View was great and the outfielder kept throwing practice balls to kids between innings. My son loved the experience. Would def recommend it.

Loved experiencing a baseball game here. Lots of restaurants and things to see around the park and less than a 10 minute drive to the tunnel if you're coming from Canada. The park itself had so many neat features from the noteworthy tiger statues to the carousel right in the middle of the food court. Seats were great and reasonably priced. We'll definitely be coming back for a ball game here.

Tigers game!! Comerica Park is a great place to take in a baseball game with something for everyone. There is a carousel and Ferris wheel for kids and those young at heart. There are plenty of bars for the over 21 crowd. It is an airy stadium that managed to stay cool in the shade despite a very warm Detroit day. Sight lines are great from every seat. They have a newer type of netting for fan protection that is more transparent and less obstructive of viewing the game. 100% recommend!

Hadn't been in about 3 years and my bf had never been! The baseball ferris wheel was a lot of fun at only 2 dollars! I wish it had a better view / view of the field ideally. There's so much to do outside of watching the game. Come prepared to over spend on food. We payed 6 dollars for bottled water. We went on August 23rd. The tigers played against the KC royals and won 4-2! Great game to watch! Go tigers!!!!🐯
Diana N — Google review
Comerica Park truly stands out as one of the best ballparks in the country, offering an incredible experience from the moment you arrive. Getting in and out of the park is remarkably easy, with clear signage and efficient security checks that keep lines moving smoothly. Once inside, navigating the wide, open concourses to find your seats is a breeze, even for first-time visitors. The design of the park ensures that almost every seat offers fantastic views of the action, whether you're behind home plate or in the outfield. It's a truly fan-friendly environment that makes attending a game a stress-free and enjoyable outing. But what truly elevates Comerica Park is its culinary scene. Forget typical ballpark fare; here, the concessions are a gourmet delight! You'll find an impressive array of options, from local Detroit favorites like National Coney Island and Slows Bar BQ, offering delicious sandwiches and mac & cheese, to fresh Smashburgers and a variety of Mediterranean selections. The craft beer selection is equally impressive, featuring a fantastic range of local Michigan brews alongside popular national brands. Whether you're craving a classic hot dog or a more elevated dining experience, Comerica Park has something to satisfy every palate, making it a true foodie destination within the world of baseball stadiums.

The first time I came to the DIA I was suprised to see they had a native American wing. Michigan is home to a few tribes. Was bummed to see nothing about the local tribes there. I asked a docent " you have so many local tribes one being the largest remaining tribe in the united states and there is no mention of them " is there some reason why? I know most museums repatriated a lot so injust said i think your really missing out on showcasing the art of the ojiibwe the rest of the annishinabeeg tribes. Some ofntheor art and embroidery is stunning. That was in 2023. 2025 im on public radio and I hear your opening an exhibit of a contemporary indigenous ojibwe artist? Wow. That's really cool im impressed. I love the DIA but now I really dig ya! Keep on getting better and giving me good reasons to come in. By the way their open sketch is way cool! Thank you DIA your one of a thousand reasons ill never move out of this city!

Beautiful building filled with great art and historic artifacts. Only spent 3 hours in there so I didn't get the chance To explore the whole thing, it's definitely worth another trip or 2 to really take everything in. The Cafe was super busy by the time I got hungry so I skipped it but it looks like a nice relaxing courtyard to take a break in if you're planning on spending the whole day there. The Diego Rivera mural is truly a masterpiece. Shout out the lovely Michelle at the front desk!!!

It was a dream of mine to visit this museum one day. I finally got the opportunity while visiting the University of Michigan and had some hours to kill while waiting for my flight. The access was very quick and the staff gladly took out carry on luggage and bags at the cost check so we could visit the place, something other museums don’t usually do. The place was even more magnificent than I imagined and crowds were light on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The store is also worth noting, since I collect museum catalogues I purchased one and was pleasantly surprised by the affordable prices, compared to New York or Paris, where you can find world-class museums such as this one.

I could have spent days and days here. Loved all of it. Every single piece of art. So much to take in. So many things to do, not just look at beautiful art! Workshops, preformacnes, two delicious places to eat, and an amazing gift shop that is its own art gallery. So much fun, I cant wait to go back.

I was super impressed by the museum’s wide-ranging collection—there’s so much to see! The mural in the central room really stood out. Definitely recommend listening to the guided tour for that part—it’s fascinating. The museum also has a mix of functional spaces with different styles and programs, which keeps things interesting. When you need a break, don’t miss the courtyard café—it’s one of the best I’ve seen in any museum and makes you want to linger. We happened to visit on a weekend when they were hosting a Taiwan tea culture lecture and tasting. What an incredible experience! Not only did we learn a lot about Taiwan’s rich tea traditions, but we also got to enjoy some truly amazing teas. Another highlight is the building itself. The size feels just right—not overwhelming, not underwhelming. It’s easy to navigate and still offers plenty of exhibition space.

Exceeded expectations! A very cool collection. Spent a few hours there. I especially liked the boards they had up near some of the paintings explaining what you're looking at. If limited on time I'd start on floor 2, then do floor 3, then 1. Great vibes! 20$ per person. Wayne County residents are free with ID. Bought tickets there. Parking was 8 $ nearby.

Detroit Zoo

Mentioned on

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
The Detroit Zoo is a 125-acre wildlife park that houses over 2,000 animals from around the world. Visitors can explore various attractions such as the National Amphibian Conservation Center, Great Apes of Harambee, and Arctic Ring of Life. The zoo offers interactive experiences like feeding giraffes, observing sea otters racing, and walking alongside kangaroos. Additionally, it features a mini-railroad and picnic areas for families to enjoy.
The Detroit Zoo has done so much work in recent years to improve the animal habitats, ensuring they have adequate space and enrichment opportunities, as well as creating new and exciting experiences for guests. The Zoo also does so much for the community, offering sensory friendly hours, hosting free admission days for certain populations, and community events (like the backpack donation day). All of the seasonal events (Bunnyville, Zoo Boo, and Wild Lights) have become family traditions and every year the zoo creates new gorgeous sceneries and adds more decorations which keeps us coming back. We are looking forward to the new discovery trails, estimated to open in 2026. We LOVE our zoo and can’t recommend a membership enough.

Absolutely gorgeous! Took my family about 4 hours but we enjoyed every minute of it. The penguins were probably my top favorite. Second favorite was the polar bear. So entertaining. It was too cold for some of the animals to be out, but the staff was very interactive with quite a few exhibits. Definitely a great time.
Jaycee R — Google review
The Detroit Zoo is such a fun place to spend the day! It’s super clean, easy to walk around, and has so many amazing animals to see. The polar bears and penguins were the highlights for me—especially the penguin exhibit, which is just awesome. You can get really close and watch them swim right past you.There is also a short train ride (though expensive considering they charge for one way ride and double up if you want to return) which is fun for kids. There’s a nice mix of big animals like giraffes and lions, plus smaller areas for birds and reptiles. It’s great for kids, but adults will have a blast too. Recommend to purchase giraffe feeding tickets in advance as they are limited for the day. There is also the dragon forest and the carousel that adds to the fun activities to do. There are lots of shady spots and benches to take a break, which is nice on hot days. Food inside is fine but a bit pricey, so maybe bring a few snacks. Staff were friendly and helpful, and parking was easy. Recommend parking near the water tower as that is closest to the entry gates. Overall, it’s a great day out for the whole family!

Very good day. We lucked out with great weather, had no issues getting a wheelchair for one of our party recovering after surgery. We went for Dragon Forrest, but also as none of us had been there in a few years. The Penguin exhibit was great! Also the Polar bear area. The dragons were very neat. I bought a "bubble sword" a lion headed light up wand that shot bubbles and had fun shooting bubbles throughout the day. Even zoo employees had fun talking to me about it. Several children also enjoyed it. The only negative was that the lions are protected by plexiglass and either due to the sun or angles, nearly impossible to photograph and Several people and children had a hard time seeing them.
Richard K — Google review
Loved the zoo. Very well maintained trails and paths with all amenities well situated. Very kid friendly atmosphere with allmost all the places suitable for stroller and Kids. All animal viewings are designed to suit for kids viewing. Center of attraction was penguin and polar bear. They have many food optionsw with vegetarian options. Food wasnt great but good enough for zoo trip. couple of stores around zoo offering draft beer, ice cream and cold drinks. Recommend to go in morning or evening as during noon time get hot and sunny, also all animals move to shed and hard to see. Few of the buildings were under construction nd closed during peak summer season.
Nihar — Google review
Took my family here. First time we've been. The staff are awesome! Super nice, helpful, and friendly! We walked all over the place. The reason I gave 3 stars is that the maps dont have all picnic areas marked. The only ones are at the front of the zoo. Also, about half the exhibits and animals were inside, or they were closed. It kinda sucks that there are things in the zoo that cost even more money. We did end up having a good time. Thus was a once un a lifetime trip. It wasn't worth the 3h 48min drive there. It was chaos to get there.

I visited this zoo from out of state and I was thoroughly impressed! This is a huge zoo with lots of walking. The enclosures are all large and well maintained and the bigger ones have multiple vantage points which is neat! The signage is great, the volunteers were helpful and the entire zoo was clean with gorgeous horticulture. I was glad to see that the volunteers were stopping kids from doing things such as banging on the glass. The only thing I didn’t like was the AI signage at the Dragon Forest. I wish real artists had been used to illustrate the descriptions of the mythical creatures. I wish I had skilled that part and enjoyed the rest of the zoo more. Overall, I had a great time and would highly recommend this zoo!

It's a beautiful island park with amazing views of Canada, the Detroit River and skyline. There’s something for everyone. They have walking trails, picnic spots, a beach, aquarium, a huge playground, food trucks , and even a historic fountain. P.S. Don’t try the lemonade from this place it was NASTY!

Reasons why it's five stars: • The aquarium, we'll taken care of aquatic life. Clean, free, and informative. • Plant life, the green houses are beautiful well taken care of. I believe it is all volunteer based so that is even nicer. • I didn't use the bathrooms but just like any public bathrooms, I'm sure they are a hit or a miss. • Lots of walking, bike riding, picnic areas. Pretty buildings, ponds, and nature. Worth a check out. Will go again!

The Mall at Partridge Creek

Shopping mall
Shopping
Relaxed, open-air shopping center featuring brand-name retailers, restaurants & a multiplex cinema.
I had a fantastic experience at the B12 Store in Partridge Creek. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the benefits of their products, making me feel comfortable and informed. The store was clean, well-organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere. I appreciated the professional service and the quality of the supplements offered. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area and looking to boost your wellness routine!​
Hanan J — Google review
I don’t really like going here, and im convinced most other residents of Clinton Township don’t like going here either, and you probably like it more because you aren’t from here. But now with Lakeside gone, this is like the only option and so now it’s 10% better than it was before. My complaints come largely from the fact that this is an outdoor mall in a state which should not have an outdoor mall. Coming to this mall in the winter or fall isn’t a very fun experience the way it is during the summer. I think it’s unnecessary to have an outdoor version of sommerset in what I call a “workers town” because, we are mostly working class residents that commute to surrounding cities. Very few of us actually afford to shop here regularly. Beautiful mall, I enjoy coming here to eat and go to the movies but that’s really about it. I suppose that’s the con when it comes to living in a township that props up big business and punishes the small ones that do exist here.

First time here for the throwback of movie clue. Alot of staff standing around talking and took a minute to get my food i ordered but overall not bad. Seats recline, sound is decent. Loud movie next door you could hear during the quiet times of our movie.... but not bad. I'd check out the show times and come back sometime. If you are in the area I'd say stop in and check out the movies.

I came here with my family for a movie, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst theater experiences I’ve had. When we arrived, I noticed a group of employees standing around the bar, talking with each other instead of helping guests. When I asked for a drink, I was met with a dirty look. After waiting, I asked someone directly for assistance, and was told they weren’t trained to serve drinks and were “just talking to friends.” The tone and attitude felt unprofessional and dismissive. I then asked to speak with a manager, but after waiting a considerable amount of time, no one ever came to address my concerns. For a family outing, I expect staff to be welcoming and attentive. Sadly, that was not the case here.
Chris L — Google review
Me and my friends are 14, and we came to this theater just to have a fun night out. Instead, we ended up getting kicked out for something that really didn’t feel fair at all. Before the movie started, we were talking quietly—nothing loud or disrespectful, just whispering like anyone would while waiting. A man sitting near us turned around and looked annoyed. Then he did it again, even though we weren’t even being loud. Once the movie started, we did get a warning from a staff member. After that, we took it seriously and stayed completely quiet. We didn’t talk, didn’t whisper—just sat and watched the movie like everyone else. We followed the rules and were being respectful. But even after we stopped talking, the same man kept turning around and staring at us like we were still doing something wrong. It felt like he just had a problem with us no matter what. Eventually, someone from the theater came back and told us we had to leave. We were confused and upset because we had listened to the warning and weren’t doing anything anymore. It didn’t matter—we still got kicked out because one guy kept complaining. Nobody else in the theater seemed to care or notice us at all. It was just that one man who kept reacting, and even though we had stopped talking completely, his complaints were still taken more seriously than the fact that we were actually behaving. It honestly felt like we were being treated unfairly just because we were a group of teens. We weren’t causing problems, we weren’t being loud, and we listened when we were told to be quiet. What else were we supposed to do? Getting kicked out like that in front of everyone was embarrassing, and it made us feel like we didn’t belong there—even though we paid for our tickets and followed the rules. This whole situation could’ve been avoided if the staff had taken a moment to see what was actually happening instead of just reacting to one person’s repeated complaints. We’re definitely not coming back to this theater. Nobody deserves to be treated like that, especially when they’re doing everything right.
Dany J — Google review
I recently visited Emagine Theaters for the first time after moving to the area, and the experience was unacceptable. Several staff members were on their phones instead of assisting guests, and one employee in the kitchen even appeared to be watching something on their device. When I went to order food at the concession stand, the person working the popcorn counter gave me a dirty look, as if I was inconveniencing them. The worst part was when I asked to speak with a manager. The employee at the bar literally told me, “the managers don’t have time to deal with this annoying customer.” Like… excuse me? To be called “annoying” just for asking to speak with a manager is beyond unprofessional—it’s flat-out disrespectful. My family and I recently moved here from Kansas, where we regularly went to AMC, and we were hoping Emagine could be our new theater of choice. Instead, our first visit was so negative that we left with the entire night ruined. Emagine, do better. If this is the standard of service you allow, we will be taking our business elsewhere. Another thing. Judging by the reviews I have read about this theater and the response. It basically just sounds like a copy and paste response from this location almost like an Bot. When an normal company would take the time to respond normal to the problems I received at Emagine Macomb.
Tom C — Google review
This used to be my favorite theatre because of it was well maintained and has all the nice perks. But over the past couple years, more so the past year. There's certain movies they don't show and if they do, they don't leave it up long enough. There's limited to no good variety/DIVERSE movies anymore. I had to switch to MJR.

This place is amazing. I have been to the other metro Parks but this one is by far my favourite. Being on Lake St. Clair is gives me the illusion of being on a ocean. The beach is so big and sandy. There is a lot of space for everyone. I also enjoy the playground for the kids and also the splash pad and pool area. If you are looking for a park this is it! Do be aware that sometimes they do close the beach due to testing the water for e-colei. But most times it's clear.

I love the nature trails here but I unfortunately found out today people can hunt here as long as they’re in the water. I was watching a beautiful family of geese fly over from the boardwalk and then witnessed 2 being shot out the air. As someone who goes there for bird watching, this was shocking to see. At a bare minimum there should be signs making you aware the wildlife you’ve gone there to see may be shot in clear view. There’s an observation deck to view the wildlife and that’s exactly where they were hunting. Multiple groups of them, just shocking. I would avoid the Bay Area / boardwalk completely if this is something you don’t want to see, I wish I had known before going so I didn’t have to witness it myself.

State Parks
Nestled along the banks of the St. Clair River, Algonac State Park is a stunning destination that spans over 1,000 acres and showcases rare oak savannahs. This park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts year-round, offering excellent camping opportunities alongside picturesque views of river freighters gliding by. Fishing draws many visitors eager to enjoy quality time in nature, while hiking trails and cross-country skiing provide adventure seekers with plenty of options to explore the scenic landscape.
First time here and they just got done fixing it up and putting in more full hook up sites. We went mid April ao the water wasn't turned on yet but you could fill up at the front. There was nobody at the booth so you just checked in with the yellow phone. It was beautiful watching the boats go by. Not a lot of tree cover so it probably gets hot in the summer and if you have small children I wouldn't get a site right next to the river since it's a super busy road and not a fence that will keep kids in. We will definitely be back to this park.
Alicia C — Google review
Awesome state park with lots of privacy and cool views of the freighters going down the river. We stayed in the wagon wheel part of the campground and it was nice with every lot having a pretty level asphalt pad to park on. Some of the spots are a little tight with all the trees around but nothing too crazy just might have to ask your neighbors to move their trucks. The bathrooms were older and outdated but fairly clean and well stocked for the most part. The front area of the campground would be a nice part as well but it’s a lot more like a crowded parking lot. We liked the wagon wheel because there lots were so private.

We camped in algonac state park, it was beautiful. Great campground with fun views of the St. Clair River. Check-in was easy and park is well kept. Playgrounds are very small (swings and a slide), but there is an amazing bike path which does lead to a big playground and dog park. Highly recommend bringing bikes. There are also lots of picnic spots with a large field to play, horse shoe, and corn hole. Dump stations were probably the best we ever experienced with 4 stations and all equipment you would need without having to unpack your own including a sewer hose already attached to the drain, water hose, and a bucket for filling with water.

Algonac state park sites 213 (fifth wheel) 214(travel trailer) and 215 (empty) 216 is also empty in the background of 215 so dont go thinking it is just a massive site lol As the state website says, yes on 214 we did need an additional hose, luckily we heeded the warning and were prepared. As a side note, a fair amount of the lot is located on the slide out side of the camper. Not bad for setting up and at least there isn't an obstacle blocking things but it does make the site feel smaller than other state parks once in place because it has a lot of wasted space on that side. Still plenty of room on the awning side to be comfortable but I thought it was worth noting for informational purposes. Also the sewer setup is new and I am happy to say that the opening for the sewer connection is well below the level of the trailer so that it drains properly (unlike the last full setup we had at a non state park site). For sure, 214 in particular, the parking pad is nice and level but it has a significant drop off to the lawn area of the site. Our 3 step unit is usually set quite short as our trailer does not sit insanely high off the ground. At this site our legs are fully extended and we had to put some 1 inch pads under the stair legs in order to get them to sit nicely. Still fits but the bottom step is a bit taller than most would like it to be, especially for someone with mobility issues (like my parents in the fifth wheel next door.). None of this is meant to be a complaint, purely informational. Overall the site is beautiful, the agent at check in was personable, we had no trouble getting in our space (though there is a tree that goes right up against the back of the parking pad on 214 and it meant there was not enough room to park our truck in front of our trailer which is 30 feet from tip to tail.). The view of the water from these sites isn't amazing but it is there. If you are desperate to see the ships go by it can be done from the site or a short walk down the street leaves a decent view as well. This page warned us of bugs at this park this year but so far it has not been bad. Just a few gnats flying around at dusk, but there are a lot of ants it seems. Still overall I highly recommend this park and these sites are pretty solid all around. (P.s. of all these three sites, 214 is the only one with no natural shade at any point during the day). Also the shooting range is perfectly adequate and exceeded expectations. But still is far enough away from the campsites that it does not disturb anyone. P.P.S. the cell phone service signal coverage area is fantastic. I am sitting on my site right now and have 2 to 3 bars of 5g Verizon service.

I cant really find any negatives. Will be coming back next year. I guess if you dont like guns or gun noise there is a shooting range here that you can hear from time to time. Fun to watch freighter go by on the river.

Great place to camp with the family. Seeing the boats was absolutely amazing for the first time. They were HUGE. We will definitely be coming back

Great place to watch freighter. Campground is clean and well maintained, although they could do with fill dirt in many of the camp sites. We had a pretty good pot hole in our site. Another had a small standing puddle after a rain and several other sites had potholes as well.

Really enjoyed watching the ships come and go. Site was level, bathroom and dump station were newly updated.
