Detroit is filled with scenic parks for taking long walks, picnicking, or perhaps renting a paddle boat and touring the river or the lake from the water. With picturesque views and a fantastic river bend, the Chene Park features a seawall, relaxing trails, and an enormous amphitheater. Belle Isle Park, William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor, and Campus Martius Park are just a few of the great natural Detroit attractions to visit. It’s nice to take a break from the urban sprawl and retreat into the outlying natural surroundings.
Venture to the historical landmarks and discover the best of Detroit attractions. Visit the Henry Ford Museum, catch a ball game at Comerica Park, or tour the Institute of the Arts and travel back in time and experience the culture and history of Detroit. One can take a walk through the Detroit zoo and view all the crazy critters or visit the historic Greenfield Village, which is one of the most popular Detroit activities. Of course, it’s important to find time to visit the Mexicantown for their Day of the Dead Festival or tour the African American History Museum for a full cultural experience.

Thunderbird Lanes gives families and friends a clean, well-lit modern bowling alley where they can bond over 7–10 splits, food, and arcade games. Leagues for men, women, kids, and seniors get bowlers of all skill levels out of the house to engage in some friendly competition, and cash-prize tournaments incorporate creative rules such as mulligans and bonus points for strikes. The facility's bartenders keep patrons well hydrated, pouring frothy brews and bubbly pop, and snacks such as pizzas help to build boulder-chucking strength. Thunderbird Lanes also offers custom party packages for company events and birthdays.
An award-winning special-event venue, Infinity and Ovation Yacht Charters ushers guests across the waters of Lake St. Clair aboard the 138-foot, three-decked Ovation yacht. At 7 p.m., partiers climb onto the watercraft to enjoy a menu of gourmet edibles and DJ-spun sounds. As eyes feast on the bobbing Detroit skyline and watch the orange sky drench ripply waters in its juicy rays, stomachs stuff themselves with an array of edibles and two complimentary drinks, with more available from a full-service cash bar. Engage in friendly dinner conversation while relaxing on the ship’s imported Italian furniture, or devise a plan with friends to stage a UFO hoax with life preservers. After dinner, cruisers are invited to kick off their sea legs and engage in hearty fun-having at the no-cover, no-line after-party on the boat’s very own dance floor, accommodating numerous dancers or a few big, red Clifford dogs.
