Has to be one of the most involved biggest museums ever. Besides cars it had whole bunch of history. You need 2 trips to finish it. The gift shop was cool. So many exhibits def a must do. Loved it

Jen

Such a fun place to spend a day, with so many things to see and do! Don't forget to check out the gallery space for traveling and limited time exhibits !

Sofia Uz

An absolute must! Do a factory tour as well - F150 assembly line is simply mesmerizing! Museum has the largest collection of retro cars, engines etc. plan 2-3 hours to see everything

Karen

The museum is built like a castle . But, the real deal is the factory tour . If it's too steep to pay for both admission to the museum ($35) and taking the factory tour ($24), do the tour !

Nicole Rovig

Be sure to see the Rosa Parks bus and take the Ford factory tour . Vets be sure to go on Veteran’s Day weekend, as you and your family get free admission to Henry Ford and the Village .

Richard Revilla

Some of the greatest assortment of classic cars I've ever seen. Also a walk down America's greatest history.

Tristan Jutras

Amazing collection of technology (and a bit of culture) from the Industrial Revolution onward. Give yourself the better part of a day to soak it all in. You can always lunch at the Weinermobile Café !

Dave Mortensen

Best museum ever! It's not a Ford museum , but an American history museum . Fantastic variety of original pieces of history.

Ben Spedoske

Must-see. A unique, fun, & very worthwhile place. The recently refurbished Driving America exhibit is awesome. Check out the Dymaxion House for something quirky.

Maureen Kavanaugh

The BEST part of our vacation. Pricey , but if you stay in the main building, $56 for a family of 3 + parking . You could easily spend 6+ hours roaming around. In the long run, good bang for the buck.

Maureen McCabe

We watched an old fashioned baseball game. Love the crafts shops too.

Greg Taggart

Always an amazing visit. The place is massive and it's a great place to take friends from out-of-town.

Jeff

If you go to the "Made in America - Power" section, there's a display case with some strange artifacts , including Edison's Last Breath and a death mask of Tesla.

Ђорђе Глигоријевић

Such a gem of a museum !The best thing: food is allowed while walking aroundFavorite exhibit : The engines room, super unique!

If you're an early bird, make sure to get the chocolate carrot muffin at Lamy's Diner , which is located inside the museum .

David Patrick

A great place for any age for old to remember and young to experience history of all types. Great venue.

Another great place of history!!! Something for every history lover in here...from presidential limos to classic Ford cars to the Weinermobile :-):-):-):-)

Harvey Tom

Great place for the family to visit. Also, Green Field Village is right next door so it's a great place to spend the day.

April Martin

Went for Holiday Nights and loved it. There are not enough hours to see and do everything though.

Edwulf

Best museum of all over the place, renewed on 2012 the car collection is astounding. Tip: go car exhibition first then the rest. Is quicker.

Denise Sonnenberg

Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum are my among favorite places in Michigan. Love Edison's lab and the boarding house brought in from their original location.

Randy Tate

Lots of automotive memorabilia , locomotives, presidential limousines. Neat exhibits dedicated to inventors and innovation. Take the time to explore this fascinating museum .

Alec Cormack

Surprised me with the range of exhibits - it’s not just about cars.

K12 Inc

Did you know? Henry Ford began his collection in the 1910s. He focused on common objects used in everyday life because he thought history focused too much on wars and politics. Read more

MaryEllen Coleman

Plan to spend an entire day here! And splurge on the docent tour : it's well worth it.

Simone Wood

I love learning about each and every exhibit

Mary W.

While Autos in American Life is getting a facelift, check out the Dymaxion House , the Highland Park engines , and the Rosa Parks Bus . You still need more than a day to see all the awesome!

Avrom litin

Best museum around. Don't forget to check out the village and IMax

Chris Harrison

Go early to the Lego exhibit so you don't have to wait in line build at the end

Elizabeth

Be sure to check out the Model T that is on display... they take it apart each day and allow visitors to put it back together!

Casey Gardner

Have lunch @ the Weiner Dog Cafe - then have your picture made in front of the original weinermobile or make a mold to take home with you. Can even buy a toy weinermobile in the gift shop next to cafe

Ron W

The Maker Faire was running at the time we were there. So much history, and great trains .

Barbara Blanco Scursel

Was perfect!! I love this museum so much!

John Van Duzer

Interesting stuff if you like industrial history. The displays change, they only display a very small part of their stock at a time.

Karma Oviquio

Much to see and do here! Wear comfortable shoes and pack a picnic basket for your trunk!

Scott Dunham

My boys love the Ford! Every trip, they make a beeline for the trains and airplanes. They always want to eat at the Michigan Cafe - great food. And don't miss the Rouge Plant tour .
