8 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.

Attractions like Cedar Point and Toledo Zoo make great kid-friendly stops. Explore Detroit's surroundings by going to Toledo Museum of Art (in Toledo), Kellogg Park (in Plymouth) and Kalahari Waterparks (in Sandusky). There's much more to do: explore the world behind art at Detroit Institute of Arts, see the interesting displays at Greenfield Village, steep yourself in history at Motown Museum, and browse the exhibits of The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant.
