Well, it's a pretty big Delta Airlines hub and fantastic city to explore. Detroit, Michigan is filled with a lot to see and do from the DIA to the very awesome downtown district, YEAH...fill up your days and nights with amazing food diverse culture and fun for the whole family. The RenCen and Riverwalk are awesome! I loved Greektown and the delicious food. The nightclubs for live music are fantastic...after all this is the home of Hitsville USA (Motown). Check out the Detroit Zoo or venture out to the Henry Ford Museum. Have fun!  ​
