100% go on the factory tour and see how the Ford F-150 is made. Before entering the factoring there is a movie showing how the F-150 is made and a model of the truck appears through the floor and then projectors are used to project onto the truck and show how changes are made to the truck during the manufacturing process. This demo with the truck was phenomenal! Our tour guide Henry, who was fantastic, then took us through the factory and walked us through the different stages. Very thought provoking to see how something we see everyday and take for granted is so intricately made and also inspiring to see what we are able to do as a human race with regards to manufacturing and engineering

This is my second time visiting this museum. We came especially to see the Marvel exhibit. It was very interesting. They are following social distancing procedures and there are hand sanitizing stations. It is mandatory to wear a mask while inside the museum.

The Marvel exhibit was terrific, so much more to see then I anticipated. Limited number of people in each time period due to COVID was nice. Great for families.

A must visit while you in Michigan. Not about cars only. It was about all American life aspects. Perfect for kids and car lovers. Plan to start your visit early morning so you can have a good time.

Awesome place. Lot of stuffs to see, read and enjoy. From planes, cars, trucks, railway engines, railway coaches, antique clocks, antique phones, different types of agricultural machines (of different eras) and lot of other stuffs. Just take an ample of time with you.We had lunch at Plum Markets. A combo of chicken made with herbs and vegan Tacos. They were pretty decent but on the expensive side.

The Marvel Exhibit was incredible, totally worth the money. There was a long wait to get in because of Covid but well worth it. The reminder of the museum was great. I advise wearing gym shoes due the the amount of walking. The exhibit took 1 hour and a half and the museum took 3 hours. I advise not to just skim through it, it is expensive and honestly a very neat place to take a family.

This is the third time I have visited in the last 10 years. Pretty interesting museum. Ensure that you allocate your complete day for this as you dont want to skip sections.Only The Plum Market was open for food and I personally felt it was a little expensive for the amount of food given. I have tried vegan cauliflower tacos and they come with 2 mini tacos and 2 sides and costs $16. Better to carry your own food or head out to eat and come back (you can re-enter the same day if you have the tickets with you).

Update: My original review lacked enough photos of substance on The Marvel Exhibit. As I did not want to spoil the exhibit for others. However, I decided to add more photos. The new items do not take away from the wealth of memorabilia available for view. Which is truly great!The Marvel Exhibit was awesome and the other exhibits were great as well. More importantly the museum was exceptionally clean.

I am so glad I became a member of the Henry Ford Museum! I enjoyed the Marvel exhibit and Halloween events that were an awesome experience!!My grandson had a blast!! seeing MARVEL come to life and all of us enjoying the historical items on display what a BLAST!! In addition to the Halloween event which was so much fun..seeing the village become the characters and the costumes were eye stopping...I will be going back to Henry Ford and enjoy all of the festivities and events and historical items over and over and over over again!!

I love going to The Henry Ford Museum. Yesterday I was invited to go with family. We had a great time with all the displays, starting with a review of the history of the Marvel Comics from 1939 through all of the Super heroes that I cannot begin to list here. We went on to examine almost all of the multitudinous vehicles for various purposes. There was no way to satisfy my curiosity. I encourage all comers not to miss the display With Liberty and Justice for All. Its impressive and demonstrates how freedom isnt Free, but requires a lot of work and diligence.

I personally love cars very much. For car lovers this place is haven. This gives true picture of how cars evolved over the years. Starting from slow moving commuters to fast moving racing cars. This also has collection of cars used by former US PRESIDENTs. Not only car its has trains, tractors and even planes in display. Kids had a great time in this museum and adults. Good for families, one day visit.

Check this out folks. My husband and I went for the Marvels museum. If you are a Marvels fan I highly recommend you go before its over. I felt like a kid in the candy store. We had way to much fun. Attention to detail and it was just beautiful! I saw Groot!

The Henry Ford is a fantastic way to speak day! No matter how many times Ive been, I can still get lost for hours looking at the various artifacts and exhibits. If youre a history enthusiast, youll appreciate the experience whether its your first or your twenty-first visit. If you arent, youll still find something that youll find interesting! Highly recommended for everyone of any age.

During my first visit to Dearborn, visited the museum. A little chaotic at the ticket desk but they were helpful. The musueum is brilliant. Lot of history, amazing pieces, put together well, one need to do a lot of walking. It was crowded but since the place was huge, we could get personal time for photos. Ford employees do get a discount. Carry your ID if in case. You can dial their number and check with them beforehand and they are pretty helpful with the information.

I LOVE Henry Ford! I went to the Marvel Exhibit, I will admit I thought it could have been more! Dont get me wrong it was nice, but I really wanted to feel immersed in it. I went to the Titanic Exhibit and that was EXCELLENT!! So I was expecting something like that. However, still fun to go to.

Review №22

This place worth to be seen, specially by the people whom are interested in watching all the primary efforts that specially Mr. Ford put to improve the automobile, as what we know now! the person who invented the very first assembly chain for mass production! the bonus points were you could see the previous united statess presidents cars/carriage! and some primary version of Boeing airplane! I was impressed ...

Really informative museum!! Cannot recommend highly enough. The employees know their stuff too and are thrilled to answer any questions. If you linger at museums, be prepared to spend the whole day here, and save space in your phone for non-car photos too!!

What a great museum!!Schools cant call it Columbus Day anymore, but my son still got the day (and the day after) off. While looking around online for something to do, my wife came upon The Henry Ford, and the current Marvel exhibit, and we thought that isnt that far... so we bought tickets and road tripped from North Aurora, IL.Having visited during October 2020, naturally, there was restrictions in place, and some things were closed down, which was a bit disappointing, but we still enjoyed our visit.The Marvel exhibit is interesting and loaded with cool stuff to see, and that Iron Man interactive thing is super cool. We kept calling my wife IRON MOM when it was her turn.The museum has a bunch of other cool things to see as well. A small collection of Presidential automobiles, airplanes, trains, vintage farm equipment, old power generators, the bus from Montgomery, AL which played a HUGE role in the Civil Rights movement in the 60s when Rosa Parks refused to move (the Civil Rights section is incredible) - I also saw hand-written letters from George Washington on display, that was amazing to me.Overall, a very nice, very well-maintained place. We had a very good time here.

This place never disappoints. They have the Marvel exhibit so would totally recommend that. The admission to that is not included though so keep that in mind. The exhibit about equality and suffrage is amazing and i think the highlight.

First time there (visiting from Orlando). Wonderful museum with lots to see - even though with COVID some things were closed. Most if the museum staff were rather bland and non- enthused; but fortunately, as we were starting to leave we encountered a museum attendant who was very positive and friendly and even went out of her way of see if we had questions or needed directions. She really made up for the cold response and interaction of others - glad we left with that very positive impression.

There were sixteen in our group. We all kept talking about what a wonderful time we were having. We have been doing this for at least ten years and we all agreed this was the best year. Loved the changes. Never felt crowded. Train ride was spectacular. Thanks to all your hard work. God bless you all and keep you safe. We all felt very safe. Thanks again for a most enjoyable evening. See u next year

Interesting finds in this place! Clean facility with super friendly staff. The price per ticket is worth the visit. I always get goosebumps seeing the Kennedy car...super eerie to see in person! Depending on when you want to go, I would book online in advance. A lot of the days were sold out in regards to their temporary exhibits. There is a café too with some good eats and they even sell beer and wine.

The Henry Ford is an amazing pace. There is so much history and knowledge from previous generations to fill up an entire day. Not to mention all the cool things to look at, and experience. Great for little kids and big kids alike! You can check out everything from trains, to planes, to automobiles, and historic items from all over. Definitely worth spending a day here!

Totally awesome experience. So much history, tastefully and simply displayed. Social distancing measures in place, very cleanly, reduced capacity requiring advance ticket purchase. Masks required at all times. Marvel exhibit was SO COOL! No strollers in Marvel exhibit; stroller parking available. Super cool become Ironman interactive exhibit, too. Food available for purchase; only some of the gift shops were open; but always available online. Membership is worth it, and, if you buy tickets and decide to get a membership; theyll put the price of admission toward your membership. Definitely one of the gems in the local Detroit suburbs.

• One of the best museums I have visited.• It is SUPER BIG you cannot even get to see everything in one museum in one day.• Biggest collection of vehicles and cars and trains and aviation and light and heavy machines and factory equipment all the way from industrial revolution through modern day!• You are going to tire yourself out so bring enough snacks and water.• Kind and professional staff, definitely ask your questions.• Various sections dedicated to different historical events. Civil rights, Women rights, History of civil war and history of segregation. History of aviation, etc.• bring a phone charger/power bank and make sure you have enough space to take lots of photos.• Plan to be here early in the morning and leave in the evening.

This museum is one of the best Ive ever been to. It contains a ton of history and not just about Ford and the Ford motor company. They have trains, planes, steam engines, generators, old farm and industrial equipment, clothing, homes, and so much more. Definitely worth the time to go, budget 3 to 4 hours when you do, and if you want to take a tour of the F150 plant then add a couple more. Delta Airlines employees and their families get in for free as well. Great place for kids, adults, and families.Ill definitely go back next time Im in detroit

Exellent and not so excellent. Only disappointment was the fact we saw other Makes, even Hondas, at a Ford Muesum when they could have replaced them with other mentionable Fords in Chronological order. All in all, just facinating! Wished we could have stayed longer but those extremely stupid face masks were killing me and as soon as i took mine off for a breath of air, i was villified.

Review №64

Its hard to dislike the Henry Ford museum, since Ive been going there as a child and going now as an adult it never seems to lose this wonder. Even amidst this virus outbreak going on everything still is breathtaking from the giant steam locomotives down to the tiny pieces of the individual Ford model t. You can get yourself lost in the imaginative world of flight and its history or stay close to the ground and look at the advancement of automobiles from the first quad cycle all the way to some of the futuristic imaginative vehicles made today. The staff can be a bit too much on either And, either be too helpful or just pretending you dont exist. But that doesnt seem to be the norm, and I will definitely keep coming back. (Especially once the movie theater reopens as well )

The Ford Museum, Factory and VillageAn incredible experience. We spent the entire day and didn’t see everything. The exhibits are vast and incredibly well done. I couldn’t believe the cars, trains, carriages, clocks, furniture-the list goes on. Seeing the assembly line in progress was very interesting-I’d love to know more on the logistics side. The staff is helpful and informative. Don’t miss Lincoln’s chair, Kennedy’s car, Rosa Park’s bus and the Edison light exhibit.

I went here for the limited time Marvel Universe exhibit a few weeks ago. The museum itself is amazing, however if youre a Marvel fan and in the area, Id definitely suggest checking it out before it ends. In my opinion, The Henry Ford Museum is worth the trip and is great for all ages. When I went, there was plenty of parking and there still is one restaurant open. COVID precautions are taken seriously and appointments are needed ahead of time for the museum.

We could not see all of it,because it contains so much! What an amazing place. I was impressed that the descriptions of cotton processing machines stated that cotton was farmed by slave labor, recognizing that difficult history. My husband got a kick out of the plastic molding machines that made souvenirs. Our friend appreciated the rental scooters, because this place is HUGE. We had a fun and informative time, and will go back.

The museum itself is a really great collection of all kinds of things.I like seeing the evolution of the car and the bus that Rosa Parks started her revolution from. Its also really cool to see all the different airplanes and hear the voice boxes talk about the events that were important to those planes. But we really went to experience the marvel exhibit. It starts off with a little 5-minute movie about marvel comics and then you walk through the exhibit there were a number of interactive things inside of the exhibit as well as costumes from some of the movies from the MCU. It was a really great exhibit The kids enjoyed themselves and I had a great birthday looking around at all the things that I like and to see where they came from.

Its the first time I ever been and I didnt know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised by the history of all sorts in the museum. When you hear Henry Ford you think of cars but theres so much more than just cars or race cars. Theres also trains, planes, early adaptations of trains, a model of one of the first McDonalds, the Avengers but i didnt have time to see what exactly was there but there was an Avengers exhibit so adults and children would love it here too. Theres something for everyone young and old.
