Overall, pretty relaxing place to have a cocktail and enjoy a conversation. They just opened. Be nice to see a few bottles and mixers on the shelf. Big fan of bitter/herbal mixers like Averna Amaro.

An interesting, EPCOT-like factory tour…read more Bought a combination for the Ford Rouge Factory Tour and the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. My favorite part of the tour was talking to the security guard who gave more insight into the assembly line. Took a 15 minute bus ride from the museum to the factory. Check the schedule as the buses do run on time. The factory tour has five stations. A movie, a laser Ford truck assembly show, the observation deck, the factory, a smallish room filled with a collection of Ford cars over the past century. The movie glossed over the beginnings of Henry Ford's inventions with an emphasis on the creation of an assembly line to cut down the time to build a car from 12 hours to 93 minutes. The moving part assembly line in Highland Park was super efficient. By breaking down the process to 84 steps and having stationary workers build each car, it really streamlined the process. This dropped the price of the Model T from $850 in 1908 to $260 in 1925 making the luxury vehicle affordable for an average family in America. Workers were paid $2.50 a day, but as the company became more profitable (and many workers were quitting due to boredom with monotonous tasks) the wages were increased to $5 a day. Ford had many conflicts with the Automobile Unions (UAW). Fights were physical and bloody. Graphic images released in the news in the 1930s turned public opinion against Ford. In the 1940s, he held out signing a Union contract until his wife Clara Ford threatened to leave him unless he signed a contract to stop the bloodshed. The 1941 UAW gave the workers the best benefits and wages at the time. The "assembly" laser 360 movie show was very EPCOT-like. Interesting, but not informative. The guide at the observation deck was very good. This is one of two places where photos were allowed. The elevated walk over the assembly line was self guided. Since they are very behind on construction, shift work is done on the weekends. Interesting to see the F-150s being assembled station by station. Spoke to a security guard who gave us insight into the safety gear needed, the energy efficient design of the building and how strikes and the union still advocate for workers salaries, working conditions and benefits. Otherwise, it would have been more like walking through another area with labels but limited explanation. No photos allowed here. The building is very interesting. No air conditioning, but the high ceilings allow heat to rise and the green roof with living plants make the building more climate controlled and energy efficient. Teams work in groups of 8 at each station. Lunch breaks are taken at the same. Key to know if you want to see the assembly line in action. The latest strike brought back more benefits. Workers wear eye protection and hearing protection. So interesting to learn more after asking questions. The last part of the self guided part of the tour brings you back to the main building for a view of cars like the Model A, the Thunderbird and the Mustang. Make sure to check the schedule to get a bus to go back to the Museum after the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is completed. An interesting tour, but not the best factory experience that I have taken.

If for nothing more, you can appreciate this tour for its showcase of manufacturing history. After all, the Ford vehicle is the father of automotive history. On the tour you'll learn about much of the owner's early labor standards and America's rich automotive industry history including defining moments like the establishment of labor unions, integrating technology on the assembly line, and community engagement. What makes this tour special is the building is not just a museum, but a real working truck factory located at the Ford Motor Company's Dearborn Truck Plant. On the tour you'll be able to view the vehicle assembly area. I recommend purchasing tour tickets online to see if discounts are available. Overall, a very good tour worth taking.

The Henry Ford Museum was an absolutely…read moreexcellent place for various reasons: We went to the rogue factory on the first hour of our tour, where our guide discussed an amazing history of Henry Ford, the inventor of Ford vehicles himself. Later on, we went across the gangway and into a gigantic assembly line job site. There were workers who were building most popular trucks called F150s. They were really cool, but one of my dad's favorites of all time was the 1964 Mustang. Once the factory tour was over, we went into the museum, where a lot of exhibits showed us some old fashioned convertibles, horse-drawn carriages, 1890s style steam trains, and of course, a brief history of American Industry, including the Declaration of Independence. This place is definitely a must-visit. Very cool histories to be shown.

We decided to check out the DaVinci special exhibition, shop the Museum Store and have lunch at the Plum Market Kitchen, too. The DaVinci exhibit was amazing. I had no idea of how many inventions Leonardo DaVinci made. I was only familiar with the Mona Lisa painting and the Safety Bridge. The Room of Mirrors was pretty cool.

I recommend this class for so many individuals looking to tap into the creative side, but also to have some fun. I must say during my visit today I felt safe and at peace during my time tufting. I really enjoyed how the owners took their time to get to know me but also have some fun. I didn't feel pressured. I felt at ease and as soon as I felt confident due to their incredible words of wisdom I began to tuft for the first time. My classmates and I were dancing and singing karaoke, but also tapping into side of our creativity that we didn't know about. I really enjoyed how they challenged me to try new things because I didn't even know I was capable of doing something so amazing. I highly encourage you to check out Detroit Tuft and try a new craft that you may not have known about. It's easy simple and most importantly fun. This is a great relaxing experience that I highly recommend. It's also key to make sure that we always support locally owned businesses and this is a great team that works within the Detroit area.

I paid $74.80 for this class and I have tried to contact the venue and have contacted Eventbrite for a refund.

It had some good points: -Not too many other local places offer wine glass painting. -Basic instructions were given. However, the bad outweighed the good. You receive 1 glass for the $35 you would normally pay. They don't do a schedule of what you are actually painting when you register (unlike painting business that allow you to select what you are going to paint). The glass painting is decided by the largest group in attendance. It made for a horrible pick when I went. I skipped what the instructor was doing and did what I wanted to on my glass. I did not mention that it is a tiny seating area and no real assigned seats. They do tables, but it was a mess. Assigned seating would have worked better as people put down purses to hold seats. Lastly, they don't put the paint out in advance. It took about 15 minutes for everyone to past the paint to put on your place. When asked about it, she said the paint would dry up. I have never had that problem with the same acrylic paint at PWAT. Overall, it's a nice idea and they will have the market because there is no competition in the area. I will NOT go back (no music, cramped space, and unorganized) and it's not worth $35. I'd rather paint a glass at home or attend a painting on canvas event (much better organized and spacious). It was not organized well enough and I don't like that you can't chose what you want to paint.
