1. Holocaust Memorial Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 149 reviews
The Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus opened in 1984. Local Holocaust survivors, with community support, founded the museum to teach about the senseless murder of millions, and why everyone must respect and stand up for the rights of others if the world is to prevent future discrimination, hate crime and genocide. As Michigan’s only Holocaust museum, the Holocaust Memorial Center annually touches the lives of more than 85,000 individuals, who leave the museum profoundly affected with a newly acquired sense of history, social responsibility and morality. The Holocaust Memorial Center’s exhibits create a call to action, teaching visitors through the examples of those who risked their lives to save others, and asking its guests to react to contemporary challenges such as racism, intolerance, bullying and prejudice.

We really enjoyed the guided tour of this somber memorial. The knowledgeable guide filled our heads with 90 minutes of very interesting history as he led us through the exhibits. I feel like we could go back for another couple of hours to see the displays in more detail.
We've been to several concentration camps in Germany and Poland. While this memorial is not as ominous as the actual sites, it does an excellent job of contextualizing the crimes perpetrated by the Nazis.
Really a fascinating place to visit.

What a great place for a Segway ride. We were given extensive training inside the barn and in a practice lot. Our time training was not docked against our scheduled tour. The guides were well informed and very patient. The beautiful trails we road on were clean and well kept. We will be back !!!!!!

Nice area to walk during winter snow. Very calm place. Walkways well prepared by park staff. You can easily spend more than 2 hours. Would like to try Langlauf as I saw many people enjoying it. During summer also very nice escape for walking or running.

Travel back in time through the Plymouth community's example of the American Experience. Learn how the growth of American industry, the advent of the railroad and the invention of the automobile changed America's small towns, especially Plymouth, Michigan. The Plymouth Historical Museum features a late 19th-century Victorian recreation of Main Street, tracing the growth of the small town from the railroad depot to the general store. The largest Lincoln collection in the state of Michigan is housed in a separate room off of Main Street. And a Timeline of Plymouth is the newest permanent exhibit, featuring displays on the Daisy Air Rifle, Ford Village Industries, the Alter Motor Car, World War II, communication history, and much more.

Great Splash platform! Lots of choices for the timid and the brave, roomy enough on a hot afternoon. My only complaint was that children arrived with lo g pointy water guns...a hazard to themselves and others. There is no one supervising the site for such things, and posted rules did not prohibit them.

This is a shop filled with fun stuff sold by tons of different vendors. One side is antiques and the other is more home made stuff. Don't try to see everything in just a lunch hour. There is just too much stuff to see.

Sometimes when you visit a place from your childhood, it disappoints--but not this time! The cider at Parmenter's is absolutely the best, and their fried cakes are better than that--just as they were many years ago! It is a nice place to take kids to play outside, buy a pumpkin and some apples, and sample the best cider anywhere. There is an adjacent winery.

Historic but updated with the most comfortable seats that recline. Everything about this place is great. I can’t wait to return.Thanks Diane. You are too kind. We want to clarify regarding your comment about our chairs. We do have nice, high-backed chairs that are angled back for comfort that allow people to rest their head while watching movies. They aren't true recliners.
