Couldn't even see everything in one day ♡ absolutely amazing and lots of history and treasures. The Disney exhibit was amazing and I love all the mold machines around the museum. A must see in Michigan.
Awesome museum with lots of activities. My 10yo daughter loves it
Fascinating look at innovation & invention, including in domestic arts. Obvious conscious effort (in a good way) to make sure displays reflect the true diversity of minority innovators. Good interactive displays for all ages. The adjacent Greenfield Village is a nice step back -- often into actual historic places that have been reconstructed on the site.Note: We were surprised that there is NOT free parking (it's $9, which seems excessive, especially because the museum is already higher than comparable facilities, like the Space & Rocket in Huntsville, Alabama, which has free parking).
Everything! The best museum experience by far. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Fun and educational. HIGHLY recommend becoming a member. It pays for itself in one visit AND helps support the museum. Thank you for making my first trip to Michigan fabulous! ❤️
Very fun and entertaining. There is a lot of history here and very educational. The staff in the village are very welcoming and informative about their task on the working farm. The museum had a lot of very interesting cars, planes and other historical facts and items from the past. The only negative thing for today's venture was a stand in the village was distributing custard to the people in line, but it was melting as it was being handed to the people purchasing it.
The train ride was awesome especially for kids or if you want to say that you been on this historic train. Not necessary to see the village and the Ford museum is an easy walk away from the entrance. The volunteers are full of information, make sure you ask a lot of questions. You can even ride in the cars around town which we did not wait for since there was a line for tickets.
This was a work outing for me. I was a little skeptical at first... But, after we got in we were not dissatisfied. Our group was able to view the museum. It was larger then anticipated. We were basically able to complete able 80% of the museum before heading to the Ford Rouge tour. I highly recommend this place. If you are local take advantage of the membership. If not please plan for a full day to explore. Check out some photos below.
Amazing experience for people of all ages. The museum is big and has a lot of different sections about trains, cars, planes and machinery.You can get great pictures and also learn interesting facts about the development of all that.It is also interactive, with places where people can play games, practice being in the pit stop amongst other things.You need a couple of hours to be able to see everything.
When planning our trip I didn't know what I know now, so I've visited just a third - namely this great museum.The entire Ford complex is enormous. It consists of three different parts:- Ford Museum of American innovation,- Greenfield Village, where Mr. Ford was born and where you can ride the T model, steam locomotive train and visit historic houses, and- Visit the still working Ford factory which requires boarding their bus and riding some 20 min one way.So, if you want all of these count on entire day for your visit. I didn't know that and planned only 3 hrs, which is quite enough for the museum only.Each attraction is paid separately, but there's also a combo ticket including all with a little discount.As a kind office lady told me, the museum is the biggest attraction and if I have to choose one - let it be the museum. She was right.First to inform you, this is NOT only the car history museum and when speaking of cars, not only Ford cars are here.As its name says, this is the Museum of American Innovation and you'll find here apart from cars - buses, trucks, trains, locomotives, hotel development, planes (Wright brothers and Spirit of St. Louis), arctic missions, industrial revolution factory items, space program...in one word all aspects of life evolution in the last 100 y.Museum is just great, one of the best I've visited and you need at least two hours to see it, so 3 hrs I had were just fine for a leisure visit without rushing.
What an awesome museum to see and visit! I was able to go on a field trip here and it was an great space to visit with the school. A ton of history to check out and really dive into if you have the time. The automobile portion was our favorite and the multiple "games" to try was a nice touch. We're planning another trip with the family and will spend the day exploring. Recommend anyone to stop in!
