What to see in the D

I have a friend coming into town this weekend from CA. She is the 'touristy' type and likes to see stuff. I am totally not that person and never stray too far from our house. Lame, I know Embarrassed

So, she'll be here 2 and a half days. Where do I take her to give her a sense for Detroit and the surrounding areas? What things are on the 'must see' list?

Thanks Ladies

ETA: it doesn't have to be IN Detroit. Just in the area.

Re: What to see in the D

  • I am not super familiar with everything you can do in the D.  But, I do know I like to eat in Greektown.  I also like Henry Ford Museum and the Detroit Zoo.  The zoo is fun because you can just run over to Royal Oak and check things out too.

  • I'm a big fan of The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, though they aren't really in Detroit.

  • Is there a Tiger's game any of the days she will be here?  Then you can hit up a game, Greektown for some food, maybe the casino.

    Take her to both coney islands in Detroit and let her decide for herself which one is better

    If she is a shopper, take her to Somerset.

    Plus the other suggestions listed above are all good too!

  • If it's a nice day, the River Walk in downtown Detroit is really nice.  It's free too!

    Hell.  Just find out where my brother and Snooki live.  You could park outside their apartment and wait for the drama to begin.  That'd blow any touristy attraction out of the water.

  • If she is into "touristy" stuff, take her to see the "Spirit of Detroit", the RenCen, the Fox Theater and "the fist". Maybe she'd like to ride on the People Mover too?

    I think other PP's suggestions are good too!

  • Motown Historical Museum is a lot of fun.
