Beautiful 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

Great walking living museum of American History. Henry Ford left his legacy for all generations to see. Highly advise riding a model T.

Hobo 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

A 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!

So much history...Henry Ford's childhood home, the original Ford plant and more. Take the train ride around the grounds. Food is great.

Kids will love historic rides at The Henry Ford, from a vintage Model T to a horse-drawn carriage, to the 1913 Herschell-Spillman Carousel.

Some really old stuff. Don't step in the horse poop. Buy something made in the craft works as it is really special stuff.

Great, with the membership we can come enjoy anytime we like.

Buy 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.

The candle making and the tea, so many memories of summer here
Marty JohnsonJanuary 27, 2010
Make sure you take the kids and let them walk underneath a massive locomotive in the roundhouse. They probably won't get to do that again--and neither will you.
