Detroit Tigers - Comerica Park
The Detroit Tigers will have a 4-game home series against the Cleveland Guardians staring Thursday, May 26, 2022. We plan to get tickets for the Thursday night game! Fun Fact: Comerica Park was criticized by fans and players due to its enormous outfield upon its completion. Players wanted to hit home runs, and fans wanted to see them, but it was a difficult feat to accomplish with the original dimensions. Because of these criticisms, the decision was made to bring the left center field wall in from 390 feet to 375 feet. Two years later, in 2005, the bullpens were moved from right field to left field, which allowed the Tigers to add nearly 1,000 additional seats to right field.
Henry Ford Museum
Fun Facts: The museum collection contains the presidential limousine of John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln's chair from Ford's Theatre, Thomas Edison's laboratory, the Wright Brothers' bicycle shop, the Rosa Parks bus, and many other historical exhibits. It is the largest indoor–outdoor museum complex in the United States and is visited by over 1.7 million people each year. *There may be a civil war reenactment Memorial Day Weekend for interested history buffs - check their website for more details*

A fun island in the Detroit River (overlooking Windsor, Canada) with an aquarium, conservatory and grand prix race track. Fun Fact: Belle Isle is older and larger than New York City’s Central Park.
