Central Detroit - Detroit MI Family Vacation

Preview: In World War II, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to the “Arsenal of Democracy,” he was talking about the Motor City. If you believe all you see on the nightly news, you’d think Detroit might have few things to offer the traveling family. If you look closer, however, you’ll find the city that’s been slammed so much is on the way back and actually has so many activities to offer families that it deserves its own chapter. There’s something to do all year long in the city that still rightly claims its title as the world’s automotive capital, from an urban park to the world’s largest museum devoted to the African-American experience. Leave your preconceived notions behind and see what the city offers. You’ll be surprised. The above description is an excerpt from "Fun With the Family in Michigan." Whether you're a first-time visitor or a long-time local resident, this chapter from the Fun With the Family Series will help you find fun and engaging activities that the entire family can enjoy at great destinations throughout the state, suitable for “kids” of all ages. This chapter includes Belle Isle, Street Festivals, Theatrical Adventures, Auto Shows, Cultural Center Attractions, and Holiday Traditions and Other Pastimes.
