What have we missed off the list? Tell us in the comments!!
Watched so many videos with places to Visit in Detroit and this vedio is by far one of the best with some locations never yet mentioned in other videos. Great content....thank you!!
Thanks so much, Mike!!!! That means a lot. I'm really pleased you enjoyed it!! We loved filming in the city and showing it off!!
🎉travel and tourism!
People are coming back!!!!!!
They are expanding Motown. It will be even better soon.
Yes!! We’ll have to come back when it’s all finished!! 🎹🎵🎸
Thank you so much for showing our city attractions
It our pleasure and a privilege. A great city!! Thanks for taking the time to comment, Mark. 😎👍
You missed the two biggest gems... right nearby (shared a parking lot) from the science center is the Detroit Institute of Art (DIA) and the Detroit Film Institute. The DIA is one of the best art museums in North America. The collection is remarkable, especially in Impressionist and modern art. Also, though a few miles down Woodward, is the Detroit Zoo. Fantastic.
Fab suggestions, Timothy!! Thanks!! We'll have to fly over and make another video, I guess @Visit Detroit!! Thanks for interacting with so many other comments too!!!
That was really interesting. I had no idea there were so many cool things to do in Detroit.
Glad you enjoyed it, Connie!!!! There were so MANY great places to visit!! We learned loads about Detroit in the time we were there - it has lots to offer!!
A lot of these places aren't even located in Detroit
@@heyhihellook9494only Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village are in Dearborn … everything else is directly in Detroit so I wouldn’t say most
There are FIVE museums all together, including the Detroit Science Center. The DIA is one of the best art museums in the world and is free to Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb county residents. The building also houses the Detroit Film Institute (weekly asteemed movies and a film festival. Truly excellent. Across the street, the Detroit Historical museum, and the downtown branch of the Detroit City libraries with an amazing genealogical collection. Finally, the new African-American History museum.
When I was a kid, my dad did a weekly TV show from the Henry Ford Museum called The Exciting Years.
No way!!! I've just searched for it on CZcams but it doesn't look as though anyone has posted any shows. It's a great place to set a show, though!!
Im going next week to Detroit to see the Tigers . Now I have to book at least one day more. Its seems pretty interesting . Wonderful
Hope you have a great time in Detroit and go Tigers !
You definitely need an extra day. Enjoy the game and I hope you enjoy the city too. 😎👍
Don't miss the Detroit Institute of Arts - they have some of the most famous impressionist paintings and peices of modern art in the world... and you can get right up close.
Nice video! I'm originally from Detroit.
Thanks Alan!! Glad you enjoyed it. When was the last time you were there? Does it look as though it’s changed?
@@LifeOfReillyTV you're welcome. It's been a while, 2012. My dad was a well-known musician there and around the country. He played at the Elmwood Casino and Bob Lo Island, which both are long gone. You would've loved Bob Lo...fun.
Oh wow. That must’ve been fun to travel around with your Dad. Add a link to his work, if you’d like!! 😀 I’m hoping more music venues will start opening up in Detroit over the next few years. It will be amazing to see its’ growth!
I grew up down the road from The Henry Ford & worked in Detroit. I now live over an hour away and am now itching to get back to the "D". Terrific video!
That is praise indeed. Thank you so much!! 😊😊 We loved experiencing Detroit for the first time and love hearing other people’s views. I’m sure you’ll have a great day in D very soon! 😎👍
Detroit also has a couple Polish Baroque churches that are gorgeous that I recommend touring as well.
Thanks!!! Great tips!!
We live Downtown, for 16 years now, we love it! It has become an incredible place , especially in the last 7 years or so, nice neighborhood, so much to do Downtown.. pro sports, restaurants, festivals, great museums, culture, the best concerts, shopping…Belle Isle, bike/walkways, quite safe, great neighbors, diverse and accepting. Detroit is on the rise! Excellent Video!! Thankyou!!!
Thanks for taking the time to message!! It’s so cool to see the city thriving and it sounds as though it’s going to get even better!! Everyone was very friendly out there too!! We can’t wait to return!
Though my fave was the Ford museum, I was actually surprised by how cool it is that being on the Riverwalk, you can literally look over into Canada. That was very intriging to me. I gotta get my passport.
It’s very cool. And you finish right in the city too! 🤩 Let us know how you find it all, when you go! 😀👍
You're reconfiguring my view of Detroit totally. And I never know about the motor town roots of Motown either! ❤
That’s so cool to hear, thanks for letting us know!! We were amazed at how much Detroit has to offer…and its place in history!
Top video. Your kid's a trooper for hanging in there through all these activites.
Thank you!!!! Yes, he was good, wasn't he...and we did everything you saw in three days!!! I've just shown him your comment and he had a big smile on his face!
The production quality on this video is crazy considering this video only has 70 views
Thanks for noticing!! ☺️ Hopefully, it’ll take off soon. 🚀 Ours usually pop after a month. 😀
Add punk and garage rock to the great music of Detroit!
Yes, true!!
WELCOME ~ wish I knew you were coming!! Lifelong resident - glad you enjoyed it!!!
Thanks Pattie!! 😀 We’ll let you know next time!! 😁 We had a great time and loved the city!
❤ fantastic video, what a great insight into Detroit and so lovely to see how the young 'uns can enjoy it too!
Glad you enjoyed it, Di!! We learned so much about the city out there - and it really is for "all ages!!"
That’s only a fraction of the beautiful sites in Michigan. If you had more time you could have taken a ferry out to the Manatau Islands off of Leland, which has a ship wreck. Mackinac has a historical fort. Then there is the Upper Peninsula which has a so much more. I am blessed to be a Michigander.
You are so right, Patty!!! We need to come back to explore more!!! 🤩😍 An amazing trip!!
American Coney Island! Hands down.
Nice. 🌭You have drawn a line in the hot dog bun.
This was beautifully made! So proud of my city! The best is yet to come
Thank you April!!! That means a lot coming from someone who lives in Detroit!!! We can't wait to return!
Terrific work Reillys...
Thanks Henry, especially coming from you!! 😊😊
What a wonderful job you did! They should hire you to do a tourism video! Bravo and thank you for showing that Detroit is not as scary as people think. Subscribed from Michigan ❤❤❤
Wow, thank you!! A lovely review, we really appreciate it. We really hope it shows that Detroit is the place to be!! 🫶
Love it. Will soon be there!
Have an amazing time!!! 😎👍
I'm going to Detroit next week, and this video really assured me that even though I don't have long in the city, I'll be hitting some of the good spots. I can't visit Belle Isle and a few of the other places, but I'm hoping to be able to tackle the HFM and village, and some of the midtown museums.
You’ll have a great time!! HFM is a huge highlight. Have a great time!!! 😎👍
Don't miss the impressionist paintings at the DIA.
I have lived in Detroit for 57 years and I have only eaten at Lafayette Coney Island. Hundreds of times actually after rock concerts. I have never even stepped foot in American Coney next door. That is because it is set up for tourists. There will be lines at Lafayette and open tables at American. That's just how dedicated the Lafayette consumer base is and they don't even have a public bathroom. I am actually headed there right now due to this video.
Niiiiiiiice!!!!! I hope the hot dog was just as good as you remembered!!!! Thanks for watching and letting everyone know which camp you're in!!
Need to go down this summer more often.
Yes, there's loads going on!! Perfect for some summer fun!
Good job!
Thank you!! That means a lot. 😎👍
Gald You and your kid didn't get shot on the riverwalk :).
Thanks, it never crossed our minds!! 😂😂
So really it's 8 things to do in a 7 square mile portion of Detroit out of 139 square miles.
Nope. There are eight things to do touching the Detroit Science Center lot alone. Woodward shopping, Detroit Tiger Stadum, Ford Field, Greektown, Mexicantown. the Opera, Riverwalk, Eastern Market, the Renaissance Center, Detroit Zoo... the list goes on.
Thanks 🎉🎉🎉
You're welcome 😊
i meet you guys today at the hollywood sign
Hey David!! Thanks for saying hi!! It was great to meet you. 😎👍 I’ll try to make sure you’re in our Hollywood Sign video!! Hope you had a good day!!
great video guys, interesting to see it from your perspective :)
Glad you enjoyed it! We loved Detroit and can't wait to return to see if get even better!!
@@LifeOfReillyTV can you recommend a good hotel with parking? ive read that car thefts can occur. where did you stay ? :)
We actually stayed in Dearborn and drove in each day. We parked up in a parking lot right in the city center which had security etc. We also parked in the Adventure Center car park a couple of times, as it was close enough to walk to places. I'm sure the hotels will have secure parking. Have a great trip!
Motor City!
🚗🎼🏙
i didnt know detroit was so british
Sorry for caring 😊
Now if all this can happen in New Orleans la.
Is crazy what fearmongering can do toa city.
💯
👍
Thanks!! 😎👍
I wanna live there. Looking for american citizen 😊
Ha ha. Good luck with your quest!!
The problem is that no one builds cars or makes music in Detroit anymore. Motown Records moved to Los Angeles, and Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors make automobiles in Canada, Mexico, Texas, Kansas, Ohio, and Illinois.
Imagine if the City of Detroit is sold to Canada? Just like Alaska was sold to us from Russia.
Why?
Detroit is now an red city.👍😎
Red? Meaning conservative? Heh, no.... i doubt ever.
Yeah definitely not 😂😂
Is there any “DETROIT CITY UNIVERSITY”????
Kindly tell me please.
Thank you
Apparently, there is!! www.detroitcity.university/
Thank you very much.
University of Detroit Mercy U of D
@@Atiba-km6wpI graduated from U of D before Mercy.
In midtown, the Detroit Science Center in the video is 2-3 blocks from Wayne State University, the third largest university in Michigan.
So brave
Not really. If you aren't scared of LA, NYC, Miami then you have absolutely no reason to be scared of Detroit, settle down.
What's that?
Answer2×@-!A?😊
Downtown is great, outside you may want to be careful. 😅
Just like every other major city in the States, not just Detroit. 😉 Detroit is awesome.
There are places for sure, but that's true of anywhere. The suburbas are fantastic, too.
Is this city still alive ?
Uh yep, and it's awesome.
yes very empty
@@britishempire12 Thats sad. I wonder where everybody fled.
And thriving. And terrific.
Henry Ford Museum IS NOT IN detroit.
It is considered "Metro" Detroit... Wow.
It's in metro Detroit, settle down.
It's in metro Detroit, a few miles from downtown. Obvs.
Really well done! For any future visitors don’t skip the interiors of some of the most iconic buildings like the Guardian and Book towers for a good dose of 1930’s Art Deco.
Thanks Jordan!! We'll be sure to check those out when we return, too!!
