During your Detroit vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Detroit Zoo
The Detroit Zoo is one of the finest in the nation, with all of the expected animals -- elephants, giraffes, bears, lions, and more. The Arctic Ring of Life features the world's largest polar bear display. Visitors watch frolicking bears and seals from outside or through a 70-foot-long underwater Polar Passage. Other highlights include a butterfly and hummingbird garden, a free-flight aviary, and a great apes exhibit. Allow 3 hours.
Detroit Historical Museum
Begin your exploration of Detroit with this repository of the city's history. You can walk a re-created cobblestone and brick street lined with 19th-century shops, and check out the two-story assembly line in the Motor City exhibit. Interactive displays entertain children of all ages. Allow 1 to 2 hours.
Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village
The Henry Ford Museum, a 12-acre repository of Americana, holds something of interest for everyone. "Heroes of the Sky" is the museum's newest permanent exhibit, featuring dozens of historic airplanes: Byrd's Arctic Fokker, a Sikorsky helicopter, and early commercial and barnstorming planes. But the museum's highlight is, not surprisingly, "The Automobile in American Life," exploring our nation's infatuation with cars. Look for Ford's 1901 Model-T, the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile, Rosa Parks's bus, and a parade of presidential vehicles, including the limousine in which Kennedy was shot. Allow 3 hours.Greenfield Village encapsulates Ford's infatuation with history and the world's innovators. 100 genuine 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century homes were transported from throughout the U.S. and Europe to bring history to Detroit. The Wright Brothers' bicycle shop, Edison's laboratory, and a collection of slave quarters are highlights. Note: The village is closed January through March. Allow 2 hours.New to the mix in 2004, the Ford Rouge Factory Tour depicts the production of Ford's most popular truck, the F-150, through the magic of virtual reality and an assembly plant walking tour. Tours begin in front of the Henry Ford Museum; reservations are strongly recommended. Allow 2 hours.
The Townsend Hotel
The gorgeous Townsend is one of Michigan's finest hotels, though it's about a 30-minute drive from downtown Detroit in the town of Birmingham. You'll feel like a celebrity, and you just might see one -- Hollywood's elite stay at the Townsend when they're in town. Rooms feature English-style decor and have Egyptian cotton linens, deep marble tubs, Aveda toiletries, and terry robes. Suites sport full kitchens. The Rugby Grille serves award-winning Continental cuisine, and you can work off your meal in the hotel's state-of-the-art fitness center.
The Inn on Ferry Street
The Inn on Ferry Street is actually a collection of four large 19th-century homes and their carriage houses. Once slated for demolition, the buildings were rescued and converted into a charming B&B complex, each with its own parlor with fireplace. The individually decorated rooms have the usual array of modern amenities and up-to-date private bathrooms. The inn is located in the heart of the Cultural Center, within easy walking distance of museums. Complimentary shuttle service is provided within a 5-mile radius.
The Dearborn Inn
The Dearborn Inn opened its doors in 1931 as the world's first airport hotel, located right across the street from Ford Airport. The airport has long since closed, but this historic inn remains popular, known for its Georgian elegance, first-class service, and business amenities. The 23 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds and gardens make this hotel feel worlds away from the big city. The Henry Ford Museum complex is within walking distance.
