Things To Do
Eastern Market
Open 6am-4pm on Saturday. Over 225 market vendors share their produce, baked goods, and handmade crafts with visitors every week at this Detroit tradition that is more than 125 years old. It's the perfect spot to grab a souvenir for the weekend! You can also enjoy restaurants for lunch like Farmer Frank's (amazing breakfast), Frank's Deli and Grill (incredible sandwiches), Bert's Marketplace, as well as various food trucks that are always at the Saturday markets.
Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation
This museum is a metro Detroit favorite, located in Dearborn near some of our room blocks. History lovers will enjoy seeing the Kennedy limousine, Rosa Parks bus, Abraham Lincoln chair, the Dymaxion House, and more at this amazing collection of museums. This would be a great place to spend Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon.
Detroit Institute of Arts
Recently voted Best Art Museum in the United States by USA Today voters, this museum boasts one of the most comprehensive and diverse art collections in the country, showcasing a wide range of cultures and time periods. The museum's stunning exhibits and iconic "Detroit Industry Murals" by Diego Rivera offer a captivating glimpse into the city's rich artistic heritage and global significance.
Wheelhouse Detroit
Wheelhouse offers a variety of experiential guided tours that explore various Detroit neighborhoods and themes. They are designed to be informative, safe, and fun. Bikers of all experience levels are welcome to join and learn more about architecture, automotive history, public art, cultural landmarks, sports, music, and more on one of their tours. It is a great way to see the city and Wheelhouse does an excellent job of keeping everyone engaged.
Comerica Park
The Detroit Tigers will be at home playing the Toronto Blue Jays during the weekend of our wedding. Comerica Park is a great ballpark to visit to grab a photo in front of the iconic tiger statues, enjoy the local food stands in the stadium, take a ride on the carousel...oh, and watch the baseball game too!
McShane's Irish Pub & Whiskey Bar
It's a bold claim to say that McShane's has the best mac and cheese in the city, but I'm saying it. If that's not your vibe, the rest of the menu is also delicious, particularly the Irish egg rolls (a Detroit staple), pot roast, and shepherd's pie. Located in Corktown (about a 5-minute walk from our venue), which is the Irish neighborhood in Detroit, this is one of our favorite spots for a big meal.
