Stop by the epicenter of Detroit’s revitalized downtown and take in the atmosphere at the iconic Campus Martius Park. This recreational center offers a wide array of completely unique activities depending on the season. Stop by during the holidays and the winter months, and you’ll find a 60 foot tall Christmas tree and an outdoor ice rink full of skaters. In the summer, you’ll find it fully converted to a sandy beach. Complete with a beach bar! If you want to sit back and people watch from a short distance, grab a window seat at the adjacent Fountain Bistro and pick something off of their extensive wine list. There is something for everyone at Campus Martius and no visit to Detroit is complete without paying a visit.
