There were a few items that needed some updating and repair like the noses for the eyeglasses, the heart area, and the wooden cars and racetrack. Other than that there was still a wide variety of things for kiddos of all ages to do. Large open areas that promote running around and a huge lazy river, water table to play in. A very inexpensive way to spend a few hours!

We were a few minutes late for our appointment due to parking confusion, and everything went downhill from there. We visited in 2022 after the Midland dam collapse.

If you enjoy architecture & design of Frank Lloyd Wright: Alden B Dow was one of his students & it shows. A cool room of the studio is the archive room which his wife organized after his death & contains pristinely maintained original blueprints & models. Mid Century modern interior design gives me butterflies! Highlights for me is everthing... especially the theater room! The outdoor landscape design is the only place you can take photos. The gift shop has lots of great treasures. Small group sizes: people per tour gives ample opportunity to feel intimate with exploring, asking questions.

This ship is open to explore and to feel how it would be to be in the Navy.

Definitely recommend. The ship is showing its age but expected as it has seen war from the world wars to 9-11. She's still a beauty. Also bathrooms are clean/next to the admissions area/gift shop

We went to the MCFTA web site to look up the hours and menu and the site had the hours: 4:30 to 8 We showed up a little after 5 and asked at the ticket office where the lounge was- the 6 people standing looking at us were like deer in headlights, one person finally told us it wasn't open.... We told them we went on the website and it showed the lounge's hours and it didn't say anything about being closed.... they said nothing. And guess what? I got home from the show and went to the web site and NOW it says it's closed til May...... We haven't been happy with the Center for awhile now. It doesn't feel like it's being run very well.

They've just kept it sitting there untouched for the past few years. Just tear the whole thing down if you're not even going to bother remodeling it. Never coming back

There is a old school house there, and the staff inside is super nice and told us a lot about the education condition here in the past. The light house has a little museum and gift shop.

But the old school house and museum are interesting enough. I'd suggest to come if you ever come to this area.

I was first introduced to Marshall Fredericks at the National Museum of American Art in Washington,…read moreD.C. years ago. The taut athletic body of his polished bronze 'Torso of a Dancer' just pulled me in. I never forgot it. There is a slightly different version on display here, too. The gigantic space at this museum that holds Fredericks' works is overwhelmingly packed. (Be careful not to poke an eye out on a protruding arm, leg or toe.) Filled with white plaster originals, this marbled space is a fitting tribute to this prolific artist whose works dotted public spaces in the US. His idealized, hopeful figures captured the energy of post-war America. Obviously, to Detroiters, Fredericks is best known for the 'Spirit of Detroit' sculpture at the base of Woodward Avenue. The original plaster version is here and it's great to get a closer look at this iconic work. I was also fascinated with another smaller gallery that holds over 300 objects from the late artist's sculpture studio. It's enough to get a good sense of his working environment. Housed on the university campus, this museum also has some outdoor sculptures, too. Is it worth the drive from Detroit to check out this collection? Definitely.
