There are FIVE museums all together, including the Detroit Science Center. The DIA is one of the best art museums in the world and is free to Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb county residents. The building also houses the Detroit Film Institute (weekly asteemed movies and a film festival. Truly excellent. Across the street, the Detroit Historical museum, and the downtown branch of the Detroit City libraries with an amazing genealogical collection. Finally, the new African-American History museum.

Don't miss the Detroit Institute of Arts - they have some of the most famous impressionist paintings and peices of modern art in the world... and you can get right up close.

When I was a kid, my dad did a weekly TV show from the Henry Ford Museum called The Exciting Years.

No way!!! I've just searched for it on KZbin but it doesn't look as though anyone has posted any shows. It's a great place to set a show, though!!

@@LifeOfReillyTV you're welcome. It's been a while, 2012. My dad was a well-known musician there and around the country. He played at the Elmwood Casino and Bob Lo Island, which both are long gone. You would've loved Bob Lo...fun.

[@LifeOfReillyTV]

Oh wow. That must’ve been fun to travel around with your Dad. Add a link to his work, if you’d like!! 😀 I’m hoping more music venues will start opening up in Detroit over the next few years. It will be amazing to see its’ growth!

Hi Dennis, it was great, thanks!!! We did get colds and flu but were all happy and healthy over Christmas! How was yours?

[@robertpalatsky5017]

Though my fave was the Ford museum, I was actually surprised by how cool it is that being on the Riverwalk, you can literally look over into Canada. That was very intriging to me. I gotta get my passport.

It has become an incredible place , especially in the last 7 years or so, nice neighborhood, so much to do Downtown.. pro sports, restaurants, festivals, great museums, culture, the best concerts, shopping…Belle Isle, bike/walkways, quite safe, great neighbors, diverse and accepting. Detroit is on the rise! Excellent Video!! Thankyou!!!

[@timothysassanella272]

You missed the two biggest gems... right nearby (shared a parking lot) from the science center is the Detroit Institute of Art (DIA) and the Detroit Film Institute. The DIA is one of the best art museums in North America. The collection is remarkable, especially in Impressionist and modern art. Also, though a few miles down Woodward, is the Detroit Zoo. Fantastic.

I'm going to Detroit next week, and this video really assured me that even though I don't have long in the city, I'll be hitting some of the good spots. I can't visit Belle Isle and a few of the other places, but I'm hoping to be able to tackle the HFM and village, and some of the midtown museums.

Don't miss the impressionist paintings at the DIA.

@@LifeOfReillyTV can you recommend a good hotel with parking? ive read that car thefts can occur. where did you stay ? :)

[@LifeOfReillyTV]

We actually stayed in Dearborn and drove in each day. We parked up in a parking lot right in the city center which had security etc. We also parked in the Adventure Center car park a couple of times, as it was close enough to walk to places. I'm sure the hotels will have secure parking. Have a great trip!

[@uprebel5150]

I have lived in Detroit for 57 years and I have only eaten at Lafayette Coney Island. Hundreds of times actually after rock concerts. I have never even stepped foot in American Coney next door. That is because it is set up for tourists. There will be lines at Lafayette and open tables at American. That's just how dedicated the Lafayette consumer base is and they don't even have a public bathroom. I am actually headed there right now due to this video.

[@LifeOfReillyTV]

That’s only a fraction of the beautiful sites in Michigan. If you had more time you could have taken a ferry out to the Manatau Islands off of Leland, which has a ship wreck.
