Planning your visit

How does our group check-in?
If arriving by bus, please pull up to the main entrance on Strand Drive and proceed to the Visitor Center to check in with our Visitor Services Associate.

We recommend that your group remain on the bus while you handle any business transactions.

There is a bus loading and unloading zone directly in front of the Museum, but this is not a parking zone. After your group enters the Museum, your driver must move to a designated bus-parking area.

If arriving by car, parking is conveniently located in the lot adjacent to the museum. For more parking options, please click here.

Can I take pictures?
Yes, photography is allowed in the Museum.

Where can I find lodging for my group?
To plan an overnight visit, please visit the Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau at visitdetroit.com.

Is the museum accessible?
Most of the exhibition areas as well as all restrooms and public spaces in the Museum are wheelchair accessible. A limited number of wheelchairs are available for visitor use; please give us advanced notice prior to your arrival if you require this service.
