👍👍 Was here for a tour of the Underground Railroad. If you haven't already, I suggest that you take your family to see where the slaves from the slavery era passed through on their way to freedom. Very knowledgeable tour guide, answered all your questions with slave era items and pictures. Excellent ex...

👍👍 I had Jury duty and used the parking lot at this church. Jury duty lasted 5 days. $20 a day was pricey, the Jury paper stated juyers would get discounted parking at this lot. I dont know why they didn't give me the discount. I even told the attendant each day that I had jury duty and i showed the a...

Mariners' Church
Anglican church
👍👍 Mariners' Church of Detroit is a stalwart of tradition, but without the brow beating. Entering the foyer, you are elevated from the hustle and bustle of the street, and once the organ starts and the choir sings you are transported to another dimension altogether. Mariners' Church is an independent...

Michigan Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument
Historical landmark
👍👍 It’s simply amazing that we still have this beautiful monument and these sculptures. It was made in 1872 and re-dedicated in 2005 to commemorate the Michigan War Dead. It makes Campus Martius and downtown Detroit that much better for being present in our city. Best way to get to it is to walk as the...

Grand Circus Park Dog Park
Dog park
👍👍 Grand Circus Park Dog Park is an amazing place for anyone looking to unleash Fido for a few. Enough room for most dogs to let loose, toy dogs beware the barred fencing is wide enough that more than one dog has slipped out. From Spring to end of Fall there is a water hose, and generally well stocked...
