The best Detroit Attractions for your enjoyment

When people think of Detroit attractions, and finding things to do in Detroit, the first thing that comes to mind is something having to do with the automobile industry. Even though that is true, and even though you will DEFINITELY find many places featuring the history of the auto industry, there is so much more than just "cars" when it comes to finding Detroit tourist attractions. You would be surprised as to how many places there are and how much there is to explore and find in Detroit that has NOTHING to do with cars.

Things such as the Belle Isle Conservatory and the Dossin Great Lakes Museum are some of the more underrated attractions in the city along with Pewabic Pottery. With the Detroit River close by, Detroit's new Riverwalk is a great attraction in Detroit you must go to. You can walk down the three mile stretch with your sweetie, bike, rollerblade, or just sit down and chill out while enjoying the view. Trying to name all the Detroit tourist attractions would take forever. There is just so much to see and explore. Oh yeah do restaurants count as attractions? I love food and Detroit has every place imaginable you can think of to get your fill of food. Detroit Attractions Before you head out to your various destinations in the city make sure:

• You have a map handy
• You have a list of things you want to go see and do for that day
• Don't always stick to the list!! While coming from one place, you may discover something that wasn't on your list. Go ahead and check it out especially if it's right there
