In reply to Yukti Agrawal. It's so nice that all these Detroit museums are near each other so travelers who don't have a lot of time in Detroit can make the most of their days here. Thanks for reading Yukti!

In reply to Jennifer. I'd go back there just to eat at Seva again. ;) And the museums of course!

Wow! I had no idea there were so many museums in Detroit! I’m sure my kids would love checking out the science center. And Seva looks delicious!!

I’ve never been to Detroit, but these museums sound like places that I will want to visit if I ever get there. I agree that you want to make sure exhibits are age appropriate. You don’t want to harm their young minds. Interesting post.

There are so many museums here – The Detroit Historical Museum, the Wright Museum of African American History and the Detroit Institute of Art (DIA), and the children’s museum Michigan Science Center are all in the same Detroit neighborhood. If I get lucky, then I will try to visit all and as you said I can stretch my time to visit each of these Detroit Museums. Being vegetarian, I would also love to eat at Seva.

In reply to Soumya Gayatri. I love it when things I want to do are all within easy walking distance, too! Also helps the budget when you don't have to worry about transportation between activities. :)

In reply to Nicole Hunter. You're so very welcome, Nicole! There's a ton for kids to do and interact with in the Detroit Historical Museum in particular. In fact, there was a school tour when I visited.

In reply to Sharon. Yep, Detroit has moved through some really challenging times—and it's still kicking. I love the grit and attitude of Detroit.

In reply to Hailey. The gigantic room with all the murals by Rivera is jaw-dropping. A drive from Ohio to Michigan would be worth it just for the DIA!

I love reading posts about Detroit! I think it’s such an underrated city. I am always up for a museum and all three of these sounds cool, but especially the Detroit Institute of Arts. I may have to pop up there (I’m from Ohio) to see the murals by Diego Rivera. They look awesome..

It’s amazing to me that these 4 museums are all so close together in Detroit. The city went through such a hard time, but just look at these fabulous places! The Art Institute would be my favorite, I think.
