Went on a field trip here with a group of fifth graders. It was FANTASTIC! Some things they did not quite understand (Civil Defense Drill setup) but it was a great learning experience. Loved seeing all of the amazing exhibits and surprises that are held here! More

Had a nice day trip to the HFM. Liked finding the vacation package to the Red Roof Inn including tickets to 2 attractions.

I didn't know what to expect - but this place is top notch. I'm a Canadian- and this place made me proud to be American. Great slices of history that highlight many innovations - mostly but not exclusively in manufacturing. And if you like cars - they got plenty of those too. More

Somehow we thought we could spend a short time in the main museum. Wrong. This place was enormous and there was so much to see. Henry Ford was a collector and interested in preservation, so if you go expect to see more than cars. But the cars are absolutely fascinating! Our only complaint was that the layout seemed haphazard.

I took grandchildren there, and it was a toss-up who enjoyed it more - them or me. From cars and train engines to inventions and good food - it was an amazing day! More
