The DIA is one of our favorite places in the city. Stop at Shield's across the street for a slice of Detroit-style pizza.

Check out the history of Detroit!

Our favorite Island park is home to the Belle Isle Aquarium, Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, Dossin Great Lakes Museum, Belle Isle Nature Center, the James Scott Memorial Fountain, the Belle Isle Golfing Center, amazing walking trails, a beachfront, and more!

Parking is available on the island, but you must have a state park pass (or buy one at the entrance). Belle Isle can be accessed by foot or bike without charge from the Riverwalk, near the furthest park, Gabriel Richard Park.

We frequent the Belle Isle Golf Center to practice our golf swings at the Toptracer golf range!

Outside of the City, but worth it! Home to the historic Greenfield Village.

Named the best Riverwalk in the Country, you can access the Riverwalk from the Ren Cen / Hart Plaza for downtown guests. The Riverwalk also has several small parks with parking lot access.

When we first moved to Detroit in 2018, we lived on the Riverwalk in Harbortown near Mt. Elliot Park.

The Robert C. Valade Park on the Riverwalk has the Atwater Beach playground, a bbq restaurant (Smoky G's Smokehouse), and Bob's Barge, a floating bar. You can also find Andrew's on the Corner and Atwater Brewery nearby.

Rent some bikes and check on the Riverwalk and Dequindre Cut (it connects to Eastern Market too).

Check out the waterfront views, Dodge Fountain, Transcending Arch, and the International Monument to the Underground Railroad. Nearby you will also find the iconic Spirit of Detroit and The Fist, monument to Joe Louis.

One of the largest open-air markets in the US! Open Saturday and Sunday during the summer (and Tuesday). Find vendors selling local produce and foods, organic health and beauty products, and everything in between.

Our Saturday morning brunch, Vivios, is located in Eastern Market! The perfect opportunity to grab a loaded bloody mary and walk around the market.

Check out a rotating fleet of more than 75 food trucks and sample Detroit classics and street food from around the world.

The City turns Campus Martius park into an urban beach during the summer. Family-friendly sand park with several restaurants and frozen cocktail options.

Check out the coolest museum around.

One of Alan's favorites!

We love the Zoo!

Super close to the venue!
