sullynd Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 My son is very into science, engineering, and cars. I've heard great things about the museum. It's 5 hours away, and we have a great science museum in Chicago as well. Is the Ford worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Absolutely, it's worth it for the Rouge Factory Tour alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I used to go all the time when I live in SEMI. Great experience for all ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldwizard Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) It is not truly a "science" museum. Very few interactive displays. Lots of interesting Americana from the late 1800s through 1950. Still interesting, but perhaps not what you are looking for. Cars (lots of them), planes and trains all in one place.

FiredMotorCompany Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 The Henry Ford and Greenfield Village offer aspectacular collection of historical developments and notable artifacts. Not a "Gee Wizz", flashy, dumbed down, fan blowing smoke across a model to demonstrate airfoil lift. But lots of actual examples of the technological advancements. I highly recommend seeing both. Allow more than one day, though. Rouge Tour adds most of a day on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsd98 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Wife and I spent a few days there in the fall, very important piece of American history and well worth it. I'd go back in a heartbeat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
