10 Family Friendly Things To Do In Detroit

By Esperanza on July 15, 2025

We just returned from a trip to Detroit—somewhere I’ve been wanting to visit for quite a while. The main reason for our visit to Michigan was to attend a funeral for Andrew’s grandparents. I’m truly grateful we were able to be there, and it was really special getting to connect with more of Andrew’s family. We ended up extending our stay by a few days to explore “Motor City,” and even though Sage was going through a bit of a rough patch, we still managed to have a great time discovering the city and making some sweet family memories. Both Andrew and I were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed Detroit. It’s such an underrated city, and we’re happy we finally got to experience it for ourselves. In this post, I’ll be sharing 10 things we did in Detroit that are family friendly (and free!).

While visiting Detroit, we ate at several amazing restaurants, which is one of our favorite things to do together. Andrew is a chef, so it’s always fun for us to try new things together, and I love finding restaurants with beautiful interiors. It’s a great way to get a “taste” for the local flavor and vibe of the locals. In this blog post, I wanted to highlight the restaurants, cafes, and coffee shops we ate at while visiting “motor city”.

We recently got back from a trip to Detroit, a city I’ve been curious about for a long time. One of the highlights of our trip was exploring Corktown and checking out the local boutiques the neighborhood had to offer. I love shopping at local boutiques, especially in new cities. They give me so much inspiration! I also feel like it’s a great way to peek into the vibe of the people who live there. In this blog post, I want to highlight three incredible Detroit shops!

I am really glad we were able to go, and it was so nice being able to meet more of Andrew’s family. We decided to tack on a few extra days onto our trip so we could explore “motor city”.

It’s highly underrated, and we were so glad we got to check it off our list of U.S. cities to visit.
