Best Things to Do in Detroit

Detroit isn't busting at the seams with things to do, but there are several museums like the Motown Historical Museum and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History that you won't be able to find anywhere else. The Detroit Institute of Arts is another very worthwhile venture. But if you'd rather take your entertainment sitting down, the downtown Fox Theatre is the place to do it.
