The village has a great historic feel and if the weather's bad there's lots to see at the Museum. I go at least once per year and am never bored. The Titanic exhibition and holiday events are fantastic family outings. Don't miss it!

This museum was great. So much to see and wish we had more time. We were unable to go to Greenfield Village due to time but would like to come back sometime. The museum had so much to see. Way more than just cars. It is a bit on the expensive side if your on a tight budget.

This holds many hidden gems. Henry Ford set out to make a Smithsonian like venue in the Midwest, and succeeded. There are all sorts of interesting things here, and there are many little areas that hold fantastic treasures. Greenfield Village, connected to the Museum is also a wonderful spot to wander. One of the greatest things, they allow you to... More

5 stars does not do this place justice. Their web site, in my opinion, does not reflect how great, and how much there is to see here. We went on the Factory Tour (allow 2 hours), the museum (we left after 3 hours, but could have used another 3), and Greenfield Village (we spent 2 1/2 hours, but could have... More

We went to The Henry Ford Museum on a cold, cloudy Saturday, not knowing exactly what to expect. We figured we might be there an hour, perhaps longer. We ended up staying there 5 1/2 hours, and could have spent more time in some of the exhibits! We started by going through the car exhibits, which were very nicely done.... More

Ford Field turned out to be a perfect family day out ! There is something to interest all age groups.The boys of course loved the assembly line ...watching the windshield being fixed on a favorite Ford model or the final car being checked for defects...oh! Who wouldn't like that !! As you step out feeling all too knowledgeable about how... More

Wonderful drive around Greenfield Village in a 1914 Model T. Some many historic houses relocated here. The evening was spectacular!

This is a great place to take your family! There is so much to see there and also for the kids! We really enjoyed looking at all the cars - and the other exhibits they have here. We especially liked looking at all the cars past Presidents had used.
