*300 Years Of History*Four Must-See Attractions*One Unforgettable ExperienceHenry Ford Museum is the heart of American innovation. There are 12 acres filled with tens of thousands of artifacts. A world-class car collection and so much more - the Rosa Parks bus, the chair in which Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, the limousine where John F. Kennedy was shot, Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion House and Edgar Allan Poe's writing desk. Greenfield Village recreates the sights, sounds and sensations of America's past. There are more than 80 pieces of historic architecture, from Noah Webster's home and Thomas Edison's Menlo Park Laboratory to the courthouse where Abraham Lincoln practiced law. You can ride a genuine Model T or pull glass with world-class artisans, watch 1867 baseball or ride a train with a 19th-century steam engine.The Ford Rouge Factory Tour is more than a walk along an assembly line. You'll be immersed in sensations in a multi-sensory theater, given a bird's eye view of the Rouge Complex and move along an elevated walkway above the Dearborn Truck Plant's assembly line, a pinnacle of manufacturing innovation and home of the Ford F-150 truck.The Henry Ford IMAX? Theatre isn't just larger than life. It's bigger than BIG. A six-story screen - Michigan's largest, a projector lamp so bright you could see it on the moon, and tales as compelling as the technology that brings them to you.

Marvellous place to visit with children. Could do without some of the new attractions - seem to detract from the overall experience rather than add to it.

Great part of history! Might be a little to advanced for young kids, ages under 3.
