7 days in Detroit Itinerary

Founded in 1701 by a French explorer and adventurer, Detroit exerted a profound impact on the world for most of the 20th century.

Your day by day itinerary now includes Detroit Historical Museum, Dossin Great Lakes Museum, The Heidelberg Project, and other attractions you added. Bring the kids along to Detroit Institute of Arts and Perry's Victory & International Peace Memorial. Get outdoors at Maumee Bay State Park and Belle Isle Park. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Detroit: Toledo Museum of Art (in Toledo), African Safari Wildlife Park (in Port Clinton) and Put in Bay (South Bass Island & Heineman Winery). There's still lots to do: steep yourself in history at Motown Museum, see the interesting displays at The Henry Ford, stop by Polish Art Center, and catch a live event at Comerica Park.
