EdwulfJune 7, 2015Beautiful place! You should take your time in your visit. All staff is dressed accordingly to they time. All restaurants close at 4 so plan ahead your lunch. Hop on train or an old Ford T model
Richard RevillaAugust 15, 2018Great walking living museum of American History. Henry Ford left his legacy for all generations to see. Highly advise riding a model T.

Michelle LAugust 12, 2014So much history...Henry Ford's childhood home, the original Ford plant and more. Take the train ride around the grounds. Food is great.
Jesse DuBayJuly 5, 2014Hobo lunch is great for kids. For adults, the hot beef in a bread bowl with mashed potatoes is unbelievable. Vintage baseball games on Saturdays are fun to watch as well
Dan FuocoApril 22, 2013A meal at Eagle Tavern combines authentic atmosphere with delicious dishes; it's a "must visit" for the proper experience.
Get a custard ice cream, they are the best. Just don't get one with chocolate or other coating on a super hot day, they are super messy due to melting!
Bill QNovember 8, 2011Buy the unlimited ride pass for $10. If you ride in one Model T and the train, you'll spend $8 without even checking out the Carousel, Model AA Bus, or Omnibus shuttle.- VisitDetroitJune 5, 2012Kids will love historic rides at The Henry Ford, from a vintage Model T to a horse-drawn carriage, to the 1913 Herschell-Spillman Carousel.
