A family vacation in Detroit may not immediately seem like the perfect thing. What does Motor City have to offer a family? Well, you’d be surprised. Detroit is home to more than the Automotive Hall of Fame. There’s Belle Isle, a 1000-acre island park with a zoo, aquarium and conservatory. Your family could take in the sights at the Cranbrook Art Museum or the Historical Museum. How about a trip to the Michigan Renaissance Festival or a night at one of the many theaters in the region. And don’t forget about the Motown Historical Museum.
