With Father's Day coming up this weekend, I asked you guys to tell me some great places to take dad this weekend. Here's six solid suggestions....Happy Father's Day!
Motown museum
Wayne Creech suggested this one. Funny, I never knew where this place was until I drove by it earlier this year. It's definitely on my list of things to do someday.
Detroit historical museum
Since we're talking museums, why not this one? Darryl Brooks suggested it on my Facebook. It's another place I have yet to visit, although I've driven by it many times.
flat rock speedway
Ok, now this is my speed. This was a suggestion from Corey Rimka. I love going to see the stock cars. Funny story, I went there a few weeks ago, only to realize - as everyone was leaving as we pulled in - that the racing that day started at 4pm and not 7pm. Doh! Great fun for the whole family, especially dad. I took my dad there for the bus races years ago. To this day, I've never seen him laugh as hard as he did that night.
the henry ford
This garnered the most suggestions. Paul Decker, Tim Cobb, and Lee Best all posted this one. Right in the heart of Dearborn, Michigan, it's like taking a step back in history. I've been there a multitude of times. From classic cars shows, to vintage baseball games and the numerous historic items on display, this place is a must see! There's lots going on there throughout the summer.
top golf
If your dad is a golfer, this is a no-brainer. Outstanding suggestion from Jamie Cords. Top Golf is located in Auburn Hills near the Great Lakes Crossing. I mean, what could be better than smacking golf balls and not having to worry about finding them?! I went there with a group last year. Solid food and drink and a ton of fun. Pro tip: make sure dad stretches beforehand. LOL
Huron Valley Guns
Yes, it's a fun place to target practice, but they also have a very nice restaurant on site. I went there last year for Father's Day and I'm hear to tell you, the buffet is excellent.
