A pleasant atraction, it is very nice, liked a lot. But I found it a little too expensive: if you buy tickets for all attractions and for the whole family, you're going to spend more than U$ 150

Not just an ordinary museum. They place different items in historical settings with plenty of details about the era and the items especially the civil rights area.

This complex includes a museum, factory tour, and Greenfield village which is listed separately here for some reason. If you have toured an auto factory then skip this one. There is nothing new here. I was told that it is a self guided tour but upon arrival was forced to go see the movie first even though I told the... More

I remember visiting the museum as a child on school field-trips. It's even better now! There are ever-changing themed exhibits in addition to the amazing Henry Ford Museum staples. Be sure to see Bonnie and Clyde's car! And plan for a trip to the IMAX theatre. Definitely recommend getting an annual membership - there is so much to see, you'll... More

This place was fascinating. If you love history and learning about interesting historical figures, don't miss this place. I went with my extended family, all who are museum buffs, and we all had a great time.

I recently went on a 4th grade field trip to The Henry Ford Museum. I didn't know what to expect and I was absoutely amazed! They had all different vehicle displays from all eras (race, presidential, RV's, Model T's and hundreds more.). There was an extensive display of trains from way back when and a model gas station and Holiday... More

Like the Detroit Institute of Art for art lovers, The Henry Ford is a "must see" stop for anyone interested in history. Check the website first to get the full flavor of what's available. One of my favorites... the series of airline interiors. Sit in a plane from the 1920s or 1930s and you may never complain about a modern... More

The Museum of Science and Industry in London is the only museum I've been to (and I've been to a lot) that gives The Henry Ford museum a run for its money. Walking the aisles and displays of the museum, you get a brief history of ..... everything. Every device and technology you can think of, from the QWERTY typewriter... More
