Despite the rain, this recent visit to Greenfield Village was good. Was drawn there due to recent addition of The Jackson House. Relocated from Selma Alabama to Historic Greenfield Village, The Jackson Home served as a safe haven Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and others during the Civil Rights Movement. It was a place of refuge and planning. In addition, saw a Civil War reenactment, and the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation at the Maddox Family Home. read more

Greenfield Village is a little like Disneyland without the rides. The grounds are clean, everything is well organized, and there is a lot to see, including historic homes, workshops, vehicles, demonstrations, and working exhibits. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. You can (and should) spend most of the day here. P.S. How does Greenfield Village have fewer than 200 reviews? read more

Eh, not as great as we thought it would be. The lack of signage is apparent and several doors were closed to various buildings. I think we were a little exhausted from the Ford Museum, so we were not prepared for the amount of walking. read more

Ok, so this place was so awesome! I had no expectations that there was as much going on here, as there was. Apparently, we lucky to go during a slow/off season time, parking was easy! The buildings were fantastic, the history, and employees stationed around were eager to share stories and the history of each place. It also seemed like the employees here were well tenured as the ones whom I asked had worked here for a really long time, and really enjoyed their jobs. So, you can go through this place in a day, but if you really wanted to deep dive into the buildings etc., you would need to plan to spend maybe 2 days here. I am not from the area, so 2 days was not an option, so powering through was THE option for me. Still a great full day of exploring, the few downsides for us on this trip was that a lot of the buildings which I would have loved to see were under maintenance, however I also appreciate that they maintain these buildings so well! Lastly, we picked up the ride pass as we wanted to ride the train and model T, we asked the cashier how long the wait would be for these and she said rides have about a 10-minute wait or so. When we got to the model T, the estimated wait was about an hour and 20 minutes, so we thought we would head over to the Train depot, but the train was closed as they were setting it up for a nighttime event. They refunded us for this portion so really can't speak badly about it. Overall A+ experience. read more

We parked at Greenfield Village using the voucher we purchased in advance, Across from the Ford Museum & part of the complex is the outdoor Greenfield Village spreading across 80 acres. It was dedicated in 1929 & opened in 1933. This was the 1st outdoor museum of its type in the country, and became a model for subsequent outdoor museums. Here I saw reconstructed original historic buildings shipped in from all over the country. I could've spent a week here. There was so much to see, it was fascinating. For an additional $20 per person we could take a ride in the model T, a train and horse and carriage. The Wright Brother's airplane workshop &Thomas Edison's laboratory from Menlo Park & his Ft Myers laboratory are highlights here. The weaving, pottery, printing, glass, silk mills, plantation demonstrations with costumed interpreters were overwhelming. The Ford corner was filled with fascinating artifacts from a windmill to his theater, School, Model T loading dock... read more

Greenfield village is open from 9:30 to 5pm unless it a special holiday. It is over 80 acres of history and fun. They are also part of the Museums for All so you can pay $3 per person for tickets if you have WIC or SNAP/EBT. I think that is super amazing that they offer opportunities to everyone. They also charge $7 for the train ride and it takes 30 minutes to go all the way around. You park strollers and wagons in a parking area. They do have rides on carriages and Model T cars as well. When we walked in, we decided to go to the working farms first. We saw a lot of animals. They had two cute little piglets in the back area. We also walked around and saw a variety of historical buildings. One of my favorites was the Wright brothers. They had tons of little shop areas to eat food, custard, and candy. They even have stores where you can shop any buy things such as pottery. Overall, we had a great experience. If you want to eat indoors you can walk through the museum hallway and go to the Plum Market read more

Greenfield Village is incredible! Came here for Holiday Nights with our friends. Pure magic + history = Greenfield Village. Parking is easy and free! Bonus. Definitely recommend purchasing tickets in advance since Holiday Nights sells out. We came on a Tuesday before Christmas. Good crowd. I love the wagon rides, Model T rides, ice skating, brass bands, carolers, and more! We started our night by stuffing our bellies. The Philly steak from A Touch of Honey was delicious! We enjoyed some festive cocktails - spiked cocoa and mulled wine. We were able to explore the post office (still active). Individuals had the ability to purchase post cards and mail them domestically and internationally. Next stop was learning about Edison, seeing his original work, and electric cable artifacts that come out once a year. I loved seeing the chemistry lab and learning about how lower manhattan first was lit up. Lots of stops to stand or sit by a firepit, enjoy mini donuts, and more drinks. Highly recommend especially during the holidays. read more

We decided to rent electric scooters ($25 each) on a hot August day. Excellent move! I would have NEVER been able to enjoy the day on this huge property without them. The landscaping is beautiful and well cared for by the staff. Everyone is terrific. There is so much to see. Plan on at least a couple days if you want a deep dive into history; especially if you also want to go to the indoor museum. read more

Greenfield Village has stood the test of time! If you go early enough, the crowd is lighter. If you'd like to "go back in time" and see artifacts, this is your place. The village has ample space, a variety of buildings to visit, and experiences that you won't forget. It's more fun if you visit with others. Someone will see something you didn't notice and vice versa. If you haven't then make the time to go. There is plenty of parking, a few food options, but you may want to take your own lunch. One of the best parts of our last visit was seeing freshly made cotton candy. That was a blast from the past and the kids loved it. read more

Everything about our one day visit was excellent. The staff throughout the Village were cordial and extremely helpful. Expect to do lots of walking or, buy the Ride Pass so you can use the train or bus. Grab a map on your way in. Lots of history to be experienced in the Village. We enjoyed it all but by the end of the day, my eyes were tired from all the reading, and we were exhausted. Check the weather. If it's going to be hot, wear a hat and stay hydrated. One last thing; if you do buy the Ride Pass, go to the Model T ride FIRST. By the time we rode the train, there was a 45 minute wait to do the Model T. Great place and we envy those that live close enough to make a membership worthwhile. read more

Can't believe that I never reviewed the Greenfield Village before. I have to say that I am kind of spoiled to have this gem in my own backyard to say. If you love history this place is for you. They just don't have old buildings and artifacts to look at this place makes history come to life. You can ride a steam locomotive, see glass blowing, weaving, and printing in the artisan area. Visit a working farm, watch an old time baseball game, and much more! It also seems like every few weeks they have special events too like the old car festival, salute to America, and Halloween Nights (keep in mind some of these events cost extra). If you live close I would also highly recommend getting a membership. I often use mine to just go for a walk around the village on a nice day, or just find a nice place to sit under a shady tree. They have also done a fantastic job with updating their eateries and they do have some vegan options if you so choose. That all said I am a big fan of the Village and also the Henry Ford Museum so I highly suggest that you check it out at least once. read more

Simply magnificent. Greenfield Village takes me back, not only to my elementary school field trips, but to a time I could never imagine living in. You can drive a Model T car, mail a post card from the post office, ride the Herschell-Spillman Carousel from 1913, have some yummy custard on a warm summer day. There is much to look at and learn here. It's great for all ages and a nice part of the Henry Ford Museum campus. There is a lot of ingenuity, brilliance, creativity, and drive that started right here...no pun intended. It's worth a visit every time! read more

My husband and I really enjoyed our day at Ford's Greenfield Village. It is an outdoor living museum. The staff are dressed in clothing specific to the time period of the early 1900's through about 1930's. The buildings are actually homes of people that inspired Henry Ford. There are childhood homes from the Orville and Wilbur Wright, Harvey Firestone as well as Henry Ford's. They have the actual home of Noah Webster, the author of the Webster dictionary. His house actually has an original first edition dictionary on display. They have volunteers or docents located in several of the buildings to educate on the history of the house or building. The museum has a working printing press of that time period. You can purchase the ride ticket so you can ride actual Model T's around the village or have the horse drawn bus to take you around town. You can also ride the actual steam locomotive taking you completely around the complex. I guarantee on your visit you will be immersed in history. read more

We had some time to kill and took our two boys out here we took them when they're younger and now they're a little bit older and it seemed like they got a little bit more out of it. It was pretty cool being able to connect the dots between what they learned in school and actually being inside the same buildings. It was a great day. read more

What an amazing place! There's plenty of things to see and do here. There's 1914 Model T car rides as well as train rides for the kids (and adults if you're inclined). They have a resident glass blower with demonstrations. The building with the looms had people weaving things. They have a farm with a whole bunch of animals. They shear the sheep and then process the wool in a nearby building (carding) and then spin it into yarn. I'm not sure what they do with the yarn afterwards though. A large army of staff and volunteers man the village, and they're all very knowledgeable and passionate about their subject matter. One thing that I particularly found amusing was that Henry Ford bought the house that the Wright brother lived in. It's in Greenfield Village, and the actual site of the house in Dayton, Ohio is empty with a small facade to commorate the site. I love getting the custard during the summer, and they also have kettle corn, lemonade stands, and other food offerings. read more

This was a better visit than I had in the past.I knew more what to expect so I was not surprised at the way it was laid out or the buildings or activities actually to depict a real village. One big add this time was that we got a very entertaining driver in the Model T ride in the auto activity. Last time the driver was quite different. The line moved quickly and we just lucked out for staff. Also, this time we did not try to eat a real meal here as the Cotswold Cottage is no longer serving, supposedly because of staffing issues but that is true elsewhere all over the country. We merely had a few snacks, a shared cotton candy and some shave ice. All we're about what you would expect . The carousel line was not as long as in the past and even I took a ride this time and left the filming of our group to another. The weaving exhibit was quite good and as a former weaver, I assure you their info was correct and they were demonstrating on authentic equipment. The glass blowing exhibit and activity was also comparable to what I have seen elsewhere. The restrooms were clean and available and the only very crowded area was the playground activities which we skipped this time. Since we went without much advance planning, we skipped the Thomas the train ride for the youngest this time as you do need advance tickets. But she has ridden it so many times before, it was not an issue. It is a decent project put together by Ford with their great wealth to develop. And if you like these historical parks, do try it. read more

This was also another experience that I was told I had to do when I was in the Detroit area. I did the museum first because I wanted it to warm up a bit before I spent the next couple hours outside wandering through Greenfield Village. Anyway we sort of just did a clockwise motion through the place. Started at the trades areas and went through the railroad and parlors and porches before winding around to Main Street and then to the Model T and Edison area. The trades stuff was pretty cool and there was lots of people there demonstrating how they do their work. The railroad thing was also kind of cool. Lots of people to talk to and give you information. The porches and parlors area was okay but a lot of the houses were closed unfortunately. And it got to the point where we were kind of walking past the guides after they greeted us because we didn't really want to have full-on conversations with every single person who worked there. We did not do the train ride around the park nor the ride in Model T cars. They wanted $7 to $12 for those and after spending over $40 per person to get in, not worth it in my opinion. luckily the one cheap thing was the custard. You could get a pretty decent size thing of custard for about $5 and that was the highlight of the food there. Give yourself a few hours but I would say I'm not in a hurry to return. Glad I got to see it though. read more

Five star property. Over 230 acres and more than 100 building structures. My expectations of this place were surpassed. It's a very cute area to walk around. I recommend to buy tickets to ride a 1914 model t car around the property. Do the ride first, because you'll see the whole property. It will help guide your walk after. Also stop at the Sir John Bennett building where you can get coffee, cookies and candy. It's such a cute shop. The village and museum ticket get you access to the property and then to the museum. The model t tickets are separate. read more

There is a lot to do at this place, and so much to say about it I feel like I could talk about it all day; however, I'm beginning to get a reputation on Yelp for long-winded reviews, so I won't do that. I will hit the highlights though. First off, if you've read any of my reviews you know that I loathe children.  It's very rare for them to be quiet and keep their filthy little digits off of everything; however, that doesn't seem to be the case here. Maybe it's because all the historical sites and museum bore them into a coma-like sleep, but the kids here are usually pretty good. Or maybe it's because there are more educated types that come to a place like this (museums, etc.), and they are more cognizant of what their progeny is doing and how loud they are. Whatever the case may be, the children here are more than tolerable, and it's nice to see some of them take an interest in the history here. Greenfield Village is very nice. Lots of quaint homes and places that inspired American ingenuity. For me, it's awe inspiring to come here and see how things were created. They have live actors portraying the Wright Brothers, and they delve into how they came up with their first flying machine. Then there's the Civil War reenactment, which only adds to the ambiance and cast of interesting people in attendance. It's only one weekend a year, but it's a definite must see. The car and train museum (inside at "The Henry Ford," which is the same museum but listed separately on Yelp) is awesome the first time you see it. The parade of past presidential cars and other automobiles. Admittedly, it is a bit tedious upon a second visit, but that's why you need to check out the special traveling works of art that come by. One special thing is when the holiday lights are up in Greenfield Village, which I have come to 4 different times with 4 different women (don't judge me!). I'm not an overly sensitive man, but there is a sense of old-time romance in the air when coming here during the Christmas season. If you take a carriage ride with your lady with those Christmas lights on, you're DEF getting some butt that night, my friend. Beyond the carriage ride, there's also train rides and rides in cars and buses that were amongst some of the first ever made. It's a great little piece of nostalgia, and unless it's a special weekend, the lines aren't too long. The IMAX theatre is nice (again, inside), but I wish they had more movies than just educational ones. It fits the overall theme, so I guess it works in that aspect. Glen, who worked the theater on my last visit was amazing, having my date & I laughing up a storm the entire time. Lastly, the food option truly leave a bit to be desired, but they are continually trying, which is appreciated. There's a place in Greenfield that sells sweet potato tots that are fantastic, but other than that the food selection is derivative and outdated. One place actually bases it's entire menu off of food from a specific time period. The thought is nice and the attempt is genuine, but that doesn't make the food taste great. It's very bland, but seemingly that is purposeful. One of the employees told me that the recipes are what they were over 100 years ago. I get trying to stay in character, but that's too much - get better vittles! At the end of the day, this is a great date place, a great place to take your kids, and a great place to come alone and learn something about American history and culture. If you come, just keep the kids in line please, and I'll see you on the carriage ride. read more

3 of us visited Greenfield Village in May 2021 as a family. I hadn't been there in over 15 years. We spent 4.5 hours and saw over 80% of the place. The idea was by Henry Ford to recreate history over time periods ranging from 1700 to about 1910. There are several sections that flow into one another. The main strip in the middle is called "Main Street" with several period buildings such as the house Henry Ford was born in, a replica of the original Ford Motor Company, the Wright Brothers cycle shop, and home, and a few others. Off Main Street to the left is a section with a farm, and a section with trades of the day (glass blowing, weaving, etc.). Off Main Street to the right is a section with Thomas Edison's shops, homes from the 18th and 19th century, and a variety of buildings from centuries ago. Nearly every building had a knowledgeable volunteer that willingly put us "back in time". They told the story of life in that era relative to the building or property. They are passionate about sharing what they know. There's a scenic train ride that circles the property. We even saw horse and buggies throughout... Overall, my app says I covered 3.5 miles... read more

I've gotten so much out of my membership in the pandemic. Sometimes I even visit at lunch on a weekday because It's so close by and I can get a great walk in. The special events make a membership more than worth the value if you can get in just a few visits in one year. Every visit, I try to see or learn something new, and I'm rarely disappointed. Greenfield Village is a great place to explore - learn a little history, take in the gorgeous gardens and surroundings or just take a moment to step back in time. Plus, the Village is a very unique place to take out of town guests - it's truly a gem to be proud of. As I'm trying to get more fit, I have a daily step count I want to reach and my Henry Ford membership has helped to make that happen. I hate walking on a treadmill and prefer to see things as I walk - Greenfield Village is the perfect place to explore in the summer, while the Museum is great for the winter. For that reason, I've really loved the Member strolling and Member picnic days this year, when the grounds are open while the rest of the Village is closed. I appreciate that they've opened up the Village for this purpose when they would otherwise close completely due to the staffing shortages. read more

My expectations were to see all about Ford Motor Company. But it was so much more! Once in the gates you are immediately transported back in time to the early days of the automobile and the steam engine. A working machine shop, glass blowing factory, printing shop, and many other things you would find in a city of the early days in the USA. I spent much longer here than I had originally planned. Definitely make this a place to visit, and plan to spend enough time to see every building and take a ride on the train and the model A cars. Well worth the visit. read more

Wonderful experience! Henry Ford assembled the homes of famous people, bringing the homes to Dearborn, Michigan. We saw the Wright Brothers' bicycle shop and home, moved here from Ohio. Thomas Edison's workshops from Menlo Park, NJ is here, along with slave cabins from Georgia and a New England home Robert Frost. The list of fascinating buildings goes on and on. The tour guides in each building are all knowledgeable and excited about conveying history. For those who prefer more action, there are many antique cars spinning around the streets you can be a passenger in. Don't miss this fantastic slice of American history! read more

This review is for Holiday Nights during COVID-19. Holiday Nights is going back in time to the holidays in the 1880s. We weren't sure if it would be worth it to go to Holiday Nights during coronavirus as many of the attractions were not available. Such as: ice-skating, horse-drawn carriage rides, Model T rides, and no indoor food options. However, since we have been cooped up for 9 months, we decided to eat the costs and go. We bought tickets online and tickets go quick - the day tickets went on sale for the public/non-members the Saturdays were already gone. We got a Friday ticket but only had a slot time of 7p. They stagger ticket times for entry and 7p was the latest entry. The park closes at 10p, so we only had 3 hours to explore. I will say by 10p we did not see everything we wanted. Tickets are a pricey $30/per person and a $6 parking fee. The day of the event we parked which was very far away, but I noticed they did have handicap parking closer to the entrance. Citizen Bank was in the entrance passing out candy canes and reminding you that they helped sponsor the event. Even though this Holiday Nights was a washed down version, we still saw a ton of stuff and enjoyed ourselves. The place didn't feel alive though - just a bizarre feeling with everyone in masks, including the performers. However, the performers did a good job with caroling, wishing guests Merry Christmas, and sharing the history of buildings. We even got to see a turkey being cooked in one of the homes and hear all about how food played its role to Victorian families. The staff actually makes the food that is being presented on the tables in the homes - so cool! The crowds? I would say there wasn't many crowds, other then standing in line waiting for food. We went to some places where there wasn't a soul in sight. This was a nice pace compared to years past. Another perk was going into the houses all by yourself - you aren't crowded with a ton of people trying to check out the insides of the houses or other indoor attractions. A staff member would count parties and stop people from going in until the party ahead was done. Food wise - was a bit disappointing regarding the lack of options. Don't expect to go and get a warm big meal. They did have pop up food tents like a hot ham or beef sandwich, cold options like cheese and crackers, candied nuts, frozen custard (being a Michigander you know that you don't flinch with having ice cream in the cold), and beverages that you could add spirits to. We spent about $45 total in food/drink and were happy with our ham sandwich and soup - very good and the ham was real ham, not deli meat. There were picnic tables with heaters along with bonfires to try to keep people warm while eating. My favorite parts - the covered bridge that was colored with lights inside and blasting holiday music and of course the fireworks that go off at 950p. I would come back another year when hopefully Rona is a memory of the past and we can enjoy all that Holiday Nights has to offer. If you like learning about history, then this place is a must for you. If you have kids and aren't sure if they will be bored - they won't! Crafts and other activities were geared toward families - and of course Santa is there! Ps. Dress warm! Like long-underwear, double/triple socks, gloves, hats, the works. You are outside for most of the time and the weather can be brutal. read more

Absolutely LOVE Greenfield Village - a Michigan staple! This is such a unique, albeit a bit random of a place, but definitely a must-go for children and I'd highly recommend visiting for a refresh on the education as an adult too, as I just recently did! :) As an adult, I quickly realized that Greenfield Village is super random because tons of the things here have nothing to even do with Michigan, which I think I always thought it did, but rather in a general theme of "innovation" that Henry Ford & fam were big into! But all of that regardless, it was still so interesting to tour. The village is HUGE and if you want to cover all of it thoroughly, I definitely recommend you going as early as possible and also on a day that hopefully isn't too hot either! I would also highly encourage you to listen closely to what all the employees have to say about each building you're entering and to ask all the questions you may have. You truly get to learn so much and it is an educational & super fun day at Greenfield this way! :) Props to my good friend who used to work at Greenfield, it felt like we got a private tour of it because she was able to tell us a LOT about all the places we were going and about the overall structure of the village as well. I have no tips on which direction you should start because I just think every street/part we went to was so interesting that all of it is a must-see. I was particularly obsessed with the glass blowing demonstration though and that was such a treat to see IRL! I love that so much of Greenfield is sustainable as well. They grow a lot of their own produce to can, ferment, use as dyes, etc. and also take care of all this special, extra-wrinkly Merino sheep, whose wool is used in the products they make too. All the art houses house actual artists that create actual goods that they then sell in the gift shops too, so if you like what you see in the ceramics or glassblowing or sewing houses, hurry on over to the gift shop to snag some of the goodies! :) Oh and they have an actual baseball team that plays at the baseball field located inside Greenfield as well against other old-timey cute baseball teams around Michigan as well! Like...how cute is that?! We happen to see that during our tour and they had a whole marching band parading them down the streets of Greenfield over to the baseball diamond as well to promote it! It was such fun to see and really got you in the spirit of the day and vibes of Greenfield. :) I am particularly looking forward to the farmers market that they are currently still building. That will be so interesting to see how it functions within the Greenfield Village space and I can't wait to come check it out when it's open! I've also heard wonderful things about the village at Halloween and Christmastime and am definitely wanting to check it out again during those times as well! :) See you again soon, Greenfield! read more

Beautiful scenery & history to learn about (ex. the house Henry Ford grew-up in / the house Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in), So much to see; steam train rides, huge carousel, large play structure for kids, carriage rides, food stands throughout-lemonade stands, kettle corn, ice cream & much more. Also lots of bathrooms throughout. Tons of walking bring comfy shoes. I brought a backpack, waters, snacks in with no problems. You will never cover the whole place in a day. You could spend 1/2 of a summer there learning everything & exploring. So many cool trinkets, equip. & houses from the past. There were lines for everything I listed above but they went pretty quick 20 min's max-guess that depends how busy though. I would highly recommend. Haven't been back since I was a kid & loved it. My 9yo son also loved, was for school field trip. They all loved it. There are summer passes available. I'd recommend getting train or carousel tix prior so you can by-pass lines.

We have really enjoyed coming to Greenfield Village over the years. Our kids have found different pieces to enjoy as they've grown older, though much of the fun is the same every time. It's the place where they tried walking on stilts, watched an old-rules baseball game, ridden in the Model T's and on the train fueled with coal. They've tried new foods, watched wildlife, and been enthralled watching glass being blown and pottery painting. We've brought each of our foreign exchange students here and we have all learned and enjoyed our time spent together here. read more

Greenfield Village - So enjoyable (but very warm) watching them blow glass. - Museums Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

We were visiting from out of town and a friend recommended we check this place out. This is such an awesome place for people who love history. Even if you aren't this place is still pretty incredible. The fact they have 1 of 3 still running busses from ... I forgot the year is pretty cool and you can ride in them. We got to ride in Ford Model T. I wished my Grandma was still alive to tell her about it. All the stories she had about her car it just brought back memories of all her stories. While riding in it i felt like i was living all the stories she told me. It was crazy what all they had to do to drive them. Not as convenient as cars now. They have the carousel from the 1913 world fair that is still working! You can ride it! When I first got on I noticed everything was made of wood and handpainted. It was cool to be able to ride on a piece of history like that. My favorite building was the castle one. It was so pretty. It looked like something from a fairy tale. We grabbed ice cream at the ice cream shop it was very good. The bathrooms were clean. It was an awesome experience i felt like i was transported back in time. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting. read more
