We have been to the museum several times, and they have made even more improvements! The kids love helping assemble a real Model T. The exhibits are amazing -- the airplanes, trains, and of course, cars -- lots of cars! We were spending 2 days (one in the museum and one in the village), so it was cheaper to buy... More

Young and old will enjoy this museum and the village. They have scaled down the museum so it could be air-conditioned. If you have just a little trouble walking you can probably do this museum. Very educational and they have built in some play areas for kids, and seating for the adults. I had been here when I was a... More

I do not know why I have waited so long to visit the Henry Ford. It is an amazing museum with a lot more than Fords and automobiles to see and discover. This trip we stayed a long time in the manufacturing in North America exhibit. The old power plants and steam power displays are incredible!! Too much to see... More

I'm always a little worried about taking my toddler to a museum because his attention span only goes so far. I was hopeful about this museum because it contains many of the things my son loves such as trains, planes, and automobiles. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the museum also had several items meant to make the museum... More

We had an awesome time with my grandson. It did not have as many carriages as it had a few years back but it was still amazing. They were have a car show which added to the excitement.

A pleasant atraction, it is very nice, liked a lot. But I found it a little too expensive: if you buy tickets for all attractions and for the whole family, you're going to spend more than U$ 150

Not just an ordinary museum. They place different items in historical settings with plenty of details about the era and the items especially the civil rights area.

This complex includes a museum, factory tour, and Greenfield village which is listed separately here for some reason. If you have toured an auto factory then skip this one. There is nothing new here. I was told that it is a self guided tour but upon arrival was forced to go see the movie first even though I told the... More
