Walk up and down the Detroit Riverwalk. We recommend putting the GM REN CEN in your GPS and parking in the Atwater Parking Garage for easy entry to the riverwalk.
Explore the Art Museum! This is located in the midtown area of Detroit. I recommend getting tickets ahead of time because they can sell out. If you are local to Michigan, entry is free!
Enjoy the street vendors, flowers, fresh fruits and veggies and everything that Detroit small businesses have to offer - only on Saturday and Sundays until 3pm! Don't forget to stop at Vivo's for the best Bloody Mary in the city!
Throw Axes, play board games, or just have some drinks in a fun environment!
A close by alternative is Corktown Taphouse which also has plenty of games!
