It's so fun to be hands on with the animals and the staff/volunteers are the nicest, answering all your random questions and telling you about the animals, but also giving you space if you don't feel like socializing.

It's free to go, so make sure to stop by their very reasonably priced gift shop and or leave a donation. Side note, I can't wait to go back.

The crime scene photo room was underwhelming as I've seen worse in Facebook groups but everything else was really cool and there was a few photo ops.

The thing is this place is so small it doesn't take many people for it to be packed but still. On this day dude was doing pretty well at ten bucks a head. This is a fun little museum if you're into the macabre but the operative word here really is little. The crime scene photo room is underwhelming but the embalmed animal cadavers in little tubes of fluid really packed a punch. There is a note from PETA or something similar saying they were all ethically sourced. The stand up selfie coffin is a lot of fun. I had my sister take dead and alive pictures of myself in it. And the chair that some local woman was found dead in that was supposed to have strange energy in it really did feel a bit uncanny when I sat in it, though I'm not sure how much of that might be paranormal placebo effect. I never thought the ouija board display would be my favorite part of this museum or that they even would have multiple ouija boards, let alone like a hundred. I didn't know they had such an enduring popularity or so many makes and models existed. This was also a little window into the ravages of the Great Depression as just about every decade from several ago to the 1910s was well represented except for the 30s. Some of the ouija boards even reeked of old school racism, with depictions of wild witch doctor Africans or sinister swami Middle Easterners. History ain't always pretty. Evil clowns, a Michael Myers and a Freddy Krueger were among the movie props. Others were less interesting. This museum is two floors but it's very small and even if you totally pore over everything here there's no way you could spend multiple hours here. The storefront to their right is vacant and the bookstore on their left is listed as permanently closed so it would be nice if they could expand here or relocate. Maybe have special night events, maybe pair it with a little theater that focuses on horror? I'd like this place to last but I feel like eventually it has to grow or die. Don't we all? We're all gonna be one of those skeletons one day....

The Henry Ford Museum is truly massive with so much to see and explore. I was there for an Author…read moreTalk with Victoria Christopher Murray. Unfortunately her flight cancellation, prevented her arrival. The Henry Ford Museum was gracious to pivot and offer everyone FREE admission to the museum for our inconvenience. I thank my Yelp Bestie for an annual membership pass that she won for two people. I am truly grateful. This was a prime time to turn lemons into lemonade! 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. Check out their FREE APP for upcoming events and movie offerings - THF.org/ConnectApp. I plan to experience the curator-led audio tours on my next visit.

Yes, there are fish and tanks to check out, but honestly, half the joy is just admiring the architecture. The tile work, the arched ceilings, all the tiny details... it's beautiful and full of history. It's an easy, low-pressure stop where you can wander, take it all in, and not feel rushed. For anyone with little kids, heads up that some tanks sit a bit high, so you may end up lifting them to see--but even then, they're still wide-eyed and excited. It's short, sweet, and totally worth the visit. Such a special little gem, I'm really glad we stopped in.

I was with the littles, young elementary school aged kids, and they absolutely had the best time. This place was adorable, packed with so much for young kids to touch, see, experience, play with and play on and we were able to get through and do most of it. They loved the tree, the camp site, the plane, the kitchen, the waterfall area, the bunk beds, the fish, and fishing simulation, the driving simulations, this was a magical place for them. Since we had limited time and a big group, I did not get a chance to try the driving experiences, but it is only $5 admission. The only thing I wish they would have as a parent, and maybe this feasible for them would be to have a cafeteria where they actually sold food and drinks. You have to bring your own food and if you have a water bottle, they put it away for you since nothing is allowed on the attractions.
