Michigan History: The Detroit Zoo
Polar bears frolicking in a glass tunnel surrounded by 300,000 gallons of crystal-clear water; kangaroos bouncing about in a simulated Australian Outback; or hundreds of amphibians living in the world’s only amphibian conservation center--a place the Wall Street Journal described as "Disneyland for toads." These are some of the experiences visitors can enjoy at the Detroit Zoo.

Road Trip: International River Days - Detroit
Starting June 20th and continuing through the 23rd, Detroit hosts it's annual International River Days, featuring carnival rides, a nautical parade, gigantic fireworks and a wide range of musical performances. River Days is the perfect time to enjoy all the fun that the new Detroit International Riverfront has to offer.

Michigan History: Walker Tavern
In the days when stagecoaches stopped regularly, Walker Tavern offered travelers a welcome break from the road. It still does. But today instead of food, drink and lodging, the tavern serves up a dose of Michigan history.
