A city which was once considered attractive to just the
businessmen is becoming one of the most preferred tourist
destinations. Detroit is no more just a city of motors.
Apart from maintaining the edge on motors, the city has now
become a very attractive destination that can keep you
overwhelmed with fun, for days together.
Detroit is primarily drawing attention owing to the
developments in Woodward Avenue. The city has numerous
theatres and that host various performances and concerts,
which has made this district an important place on the
tourist map. You should enjoy a show while you are in the
city by finding ahead what shows are playing during your
visit to the city. You will love to watch the show as there
is always one that suits everyone's taste, requirement,
passions and pockets.
Detroit Institute of Arts is a must see destination if you
are interested in culture. This museum has a large variety
of collection of art from all ages including Asian and
American art, ancient art, and art from the 20th century.
The Detroit Institute of Arts is one of the largest museums
in North America. This museum houses the famous art works of
Picasso, Van Gogh, Degas, and Rembrandt among many other
different art works.
Detroit is often called "Motor City" and what better
tribute to the auto industry than the Henry Ford Museum.
There you will find all sorts of information about the
history of the automobile in North America. Henry Ford
invented many things and a timeline and chronicle of his
accomplishments is also at the museum. Ford founded the
museum himself. His goal was to inform the public about
transportation, including the steam locomotive and even
motorized roller skates.
Another museum of importance in Detroit is the Motown
Historical Museum. In this museum you can find the original
recording studio used by Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, and
Smokey Robinson, but no paintings can be found hanging
around. The museum houses many memorabilia made famous by
many popular musicians.
Visiting Detroit with your children is a great way to
introduce them to the culture and arts of the Midwest. For
that day when they insist on doing something fun you might
want to suggest the New Detroit Science Center. This is a
great place to let your children interact with science.
They'll enjoy the advanced Digistar technology that shows
the universe, such as Mars, through the use of an
interactive virtual trip. Make sure that you schedule at
least a couple of hours at the center, however keep in mind
that very young children might have a hard time
understanding the technical side of this attraction.
The Detroit Zoo is one of the largest wildlife exhibits in
North America. In fact it is known worldwide for its
gorilla and chimpanzee population. Some other favorites at
the Detroit Zoo are the Arctic Ring of Life, the Amphibian
Conservation Center, and an Innuit Village, highlighting
the lives and animal species of our neighbors in the far
north.
In the summer, Detroit is crowded with families who travel
during school holidays. The spring or fall are the ideal
time to visit Detroit if you want to stay away from the
crowd. Avoid visiting during the peak winter season unless
you have a penchant for winters, as the city is cast with a
snow blanket.
Detroit is a great place to go for a relaxing week-end or
longer. Talk to your travel agent about making arrangements
for your Detroit getaway.
