Holy cow! Year two…read moreof Maker Faire here in Detroit was faboo! Despite the heat everything was just killer. From the outside with their great tents featuring the best local and national techy/creative/innovative organizations and hackerspaces, local businesses selling their wares (t-shirts, food, etc) and amazing things to see and do (like the giant mousetrap, the massive bikes, gokart races, Theatre Bizarre, and the huge ass dragon that spits fire and scared the bejeebus out of my 3 year old cousin) there was plenty going on to make your visit worth your while. Some local eats from Buddy's Pizza, Avalon Breads, and Treat Dreams rounded out the tastes and there were even tunes from local bands in case you wanted your socks rocked off. Adding to the fun was also the indoor displays in the museum. Tickets to the event included entrance to The Henry Ford Museum so not only did you have all that amazingness that they had to offer there were also great MF bits to check out like crafty spaces for kids, tutorials on how to knit/crochet, and the Handmade Detroit section featuring a craft fair from locals selling good from artwork to jewelry, make up and housewares. NEAT! Also loved the free app you could download for the faire. Made the event even more interactive. It included the schedules, maps, and a game wherein you scanned all the checkpoints to enter into a drawing to win some prizes. Totally sweet. Extra props to the cupcake car rolling around and the water swing which I was sincerely sad I didn't get to take a ride on. Next year! I'm already eagerly anticipating their return!

This year included a large Star Wars & Star Trek exhibition, which was a huge hit. Many people in costumes & photos could be taken with Star Wars characters. There were many outside activities as well: live music, rides, go carts, robotic competition, crazy bikes, etc. The only downside was not too many food places & the few that were there were crowded & only a few places to sit & eat. Also, it was sunny & hot. No water or drink vendors, except for the beer garden. It was fun & different. Would definitely recommend & will go again! Very nice elite event.

As a novice of woodworking, I was blown-away by the intricate woodwork and finishings throughout the home.

Many of the restoration stories, like finding a tub for Henry's bathroom or how Clara had a section repainted white were intriguing. Even though much of the home, especially the second floor, is still being restored it was a fascinating experience.

There wasn't much actually open amongst the majestic-looking buildings while I was there, but the picnic area was hopping. The signage was bilingual-in English and Arabic-and what appeared to be a Yemeni wedding seemed to be taking place. The juxtaposition of the estate of an industrialist (or robber baron, or visionary, or racist, depending on your point of view) with a distinctive immigrant community makes for a striking reflection on Americana. The grounds include some gardens, and a lake with a path around it. Access to the river is limited, but it didn't look like that impressive of a river. The greenery is more worthwhile.

One thing that surprised me was the number of food trucks available for guests. I didn't realize they would have so many options! I liked seeing the variety of food, including elephant ears and walking tacos. My friend decided to try the walking tacos and said they were just alright. I didn't end up ordering anything myself. As for the haunted attractions, some of the actors definitely put in the effort to make the experience entertaining, while others mostly stood in one spot and spoke without doing much else. I didn't find the asylum particularly scary. The walk through inside of the basement didn't have any unexpected scary moments. It was mainly walk, look and then you exit. It smelt horrible inside of the basement of the asylum. Alot of people were helpful and kind that worked at the asylum. I liked the area to take pictures with friends and family. It was nice experiencing something new, but overall, the haunted attraction was just an average experience for me.

They have shuttles taking you from the main parking lot to the factory. Once there, you watch a movie about Henry Ford's success with Ford (no phones allowed) and then you're seeing an F150 assembled. This was pretty cool. From there, you can head to the observation deck which is one of two places where you can take photos (that and the end). This is pretty cool as you get a panoramic view of the factories and the climate friendly aspects to the buildings. I had a cool time up here, even if it was for a handful of minutes. From there, you head to the assembly line where I was fortunate enough to see employees at work and the F150 being assembled in real-time. Because of the UAW agreement, no photos can be taken, but I thought seeing it in real-time was pretty awesome. Plenty of workers, but also robots and other things being assembled part by part, piece by piece. I probably spent an hour and change here, but I had fun. Definitely do go there if you can. You can't view most automobile factories in the U.S., much less the world. This is worth the visit.

An interesting, EPCOT-like factory tour…read more Bought a combination for the Ford Rouge Factory Tour and the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. My favorite part of the tour was talking to the security guard who gave more insight into the assembly line. Took a 15 minute bus ride from the museum to the factory. Check the schedule as the buses do run on time. The factory tour has five stations. A movie, a laser Ford truck assembly show, the observation deck, the factory, a smallish room filled with a collection of Ford cars over the past century. The movie glossed over the beginnings of Henry Ford's inventions with an emphasis on the creation of an assembly line to cut down the time to build a car from 12 hours to 93 minutes. The moving part assembly line in Highland Park was super efficient. By breaking down the process to 84 steps and having stationary workers build each car, it really streamlined the process. This dropped the price of the Model T from $850 in 1908 to $260 in 1925 making the luxury vehicle affordable for an average family in America. Workers were paid $2.50 a day, but as the company became more profitable (and many workers were quitting due to boredom with monotonous tasks) the wages were increased to $5 a day. Ford had many conflicts with the Automobile Unions (UAW). Fights were physical and bloody. Graphic images released in the news in the 1930s turned public opinion against Ford. In the 1940s, he held out signing a Union contract until his wife Clara Ford threatened to leave him unless he signed a contract to stop the bloodshed. The 1941 UAW gave the workers the best benefits and wages at the time. The "assembly" laser 360 movie show was very EPCOT-like. Interesting, but not informative. The guide at the observation deck was very good. This is one of two places where photos were allowed. The elevated walk over the assembly line was self guided. Since they are very behind on construction, shift work is done on the weekends. Interesting to see the F-150s being assembled station by station. Spoke to a security guard who gave us insight into the safety gear needed, the energy efficient design of the building and how strikes and the union still advocate for workers salaries, working conditions and benefits. Otherwise, it would have been more like walking through another area with labels but limited explanation. No photos allowed here. The building is very interesting. No air conditioning, but the high ceilings allow heat to rise and the green roof with living plants make the building more climate controlled and energy efficient. Teams work in groups of 8 at each station. Lunch breaks are taken at the same. Key to know if you want to see the assembly line in action. The latest strike brought back more benefits. Workers wear eye protection and hearing protection. So interesting to learn more after asking questions. The last part of the self guided part of the tour brings you back to the main building for a view of cars like the Model A, the Thunderbird and the Mustang. Make sure to check the schedule to get a bus to go back to the Museum after the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is completed. An interesting tour, but not the best factory experience that I have taken.
