Erik CintronOctober 7, 2013Has to be one of the most involved biggest museums ever. Besides cars it had whole bunch of history. You need 2 trips to finish it. The gift shop was cool. So many exhibits def a must do. Loved it
Such a fun place to spend a day, with so many things to see and do! Don't forget to check out the gallery space for traveling and limited time exhibits!
Sofia UzAugust 24, 2016An absolute must! Do a factory tour as well- F150 assembly line is simply mesmerizing! Museum has the largest collection of retro cars, engines etc. plan 2-3 hours to see everything
KarenJune 6, 2023The museum is built like a castle. But, the real deal is the factory tour. If it's too steep to pay for both admission to the museum ($35) and taking the factory tour ($24), do the tour!
Richard RevillaAugust 16, 2018Some of the greatest assortment of classic cars I've ever seen. Also a walk down America's greatest history.
Nicole RovigNovember 11, 2017Be sure to see the Rosa Parks bus and take the Ford factory tour. Vets be sure to go on Veteran’s Day weekend, as you and your family get free admission to Henry Ford and the Village.
Maureen KavanaughOctober 15, 2013The BEST part of our vacation. Pricey, but if you stay in the main building, $56 for a family of 3 + parking. You could easily spend 6+ hours roaming around. In the long run, good bang for the buck.
Must-see. A unique, fun, & very worthwhile place. The recently refurbished Driving America exhibit is awesome. Check out the Dymaxion House for something quirky.
Inan BegicSeptember 30, 2016If you're an early bird, make sure to get the chocolate carrot muffin at Lamy's Diner, which is located inside the museum.
Dave MortensenAugust 31, 2016Best museum ever! It's not a Ford museum, but an American history museum. Fantastic variety of original pieces of history.
Always an amazing visit. The place is massive and it's a great place to take friends from out-of-town.
- David PatrickDecember 15, 2016A great place for any age for old to remember and young to experience history of all types. Great venue.
Ђорђе ГлигоријевићJuly 13, 2018Such a gem of a museum!The best thing: food is allowed while walking aroundFavorite exhibit: The engines room, super unique!
Randy TateJune 26, 2016Lots of automotive memorabilia, locomotives, presidential limousines. Neat exhibits dedicated to inventors and innovation. Take the time to explore this fascinating museum.
Harvey TomNovember 14, 2015Great place for the family to visit. Also, Green Field Village is right next door so it's a great place to spend the day.
Michelle LAugust 12, 2014Great museum...so much to see! The wienermobile is there. The IMAX theater is awesome.
- Tristan JutrasJune 25, 2013Amazing collection of technology (and a bit of culture) from the Industrial Revolution onward. Give yourself the better part of a day to soak it all in. You can always lunch at the Weinermobile Café!
April MartinDecember 28, 2018Went for Holiday Nights and loved it. There are not enough hours to see and do everything though.
EdwulfJune 4, 2015Best museum of all over the place, renewed on 2012 the car collection is astounding. Tip: go car exhibition first then the rest. Is quicker.
Brenda BuiskoolFebruary 8, 2016As a member, i make many trips throughout the year to events at The Ford and Greenfield Village on same property. Always top notch,incl factory.- MaryEllen ColemanNovember 21, 2016Plan to spend an entire day here! And splurge on the docent tour: it's well worth it.
JeffJune 13, 2015If you go to the "Made in America - Power" section, there's a display case with some strange artifacts, including Edison's Last Breath and a death mask of Tesla.
Denise SonnenbergNovember 27, 2013Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum are my among favorite places in Michigan. Love Edison's lab and the boarding house brought in from their original location.
Chris HarrisonJanuary 3, 2013Go early to the Lego exhibit so you don't have to wait in line build at the end
Ron WAugust 5, 2016The Maker Faire was running at the time we were there. So much history, and great trains.
Scott DunhamApril 22, 2010My boys love the Ford! Every trip, they make a beeline for the trains and airplanes. They always want to eat at the Michigan Cafe- great food. And don't miss the Rouge Plant tour.
Best museum around. Don't forget to check out the village and IMax- John Van DuzerApril 11, 2015Interesting stuff if you like industrial history. The displays change, they only display a very small part of their stock at a time.
Yessenia IniguezFebruary 19, 2016The antiques were beautiful there and so was the little theatre for Black History Month 👌
Audrey UlshJanuary 20, 2014Make sure to check out the Mold-O-Rama machines scattered around. Make your own souvenir!
Breanne GreenApril 9, 2012They have a "Macy's 2nd Mondays" event here for kids under 5. It is fun! They have a different event every month. If you are looking for something to shake it up Read more

Erin BrodhagenJanuary 22, 2016Another great place of history!!! Something for every history lover in here...from presidential limos to classic Ford cars to the Weinermobile :-):-):-):-)
Casey GardnerAugust 12, 2010Have lunch @ the Weiner Dog Cafe - then have your picture made in front of the original weinermobile or make a mold to take home with you. Can even buy a toy weinermobile in the gift shop next to cafe
JendaSeptember 10, 2015It gets super crowded here on weekends. Go early and budget at least 4-5 hours for browsing.
ElizabethAugust 27, 2013Be sure to check out the Model T that is on display... they take it apart each day and allow visitors to put it back together!
Mark Miller (JRDN)April 2, 2013One of my absolute favorite places as a kid & still today. Now I take my OWN field-trips and re-explore history.
Sarah CoxApril 27, 2013If you like morbid things (and who doesn't?) you will be please to know the chair Lincoln died in is here.
