The Henry Ford is a huge museum complex in Dearborn, Michigan. It’s a must visit if you’re in nearby Detroit.
Complex
There are three main components of the Henry Ford: The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, Greenfield Village, and the Ford Rouge Factory Tour. I’ve only been able to visit two of them, with Greenfield Village being the odd one out due to seasonal closings. There’s also a theater called the Giant Screen Experience.
Hours
The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation is open daily from 9:30am to 5pm. Greenfield Village is open daily from spring through fall from 9:30am to 5pm, Friday to Sunday in November, and select evenings in December. The Ford Rouge Factory Tour is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30am to 5pm, with the last tour leaving at 3pm. Showtimes for the Giant Screen Experience vary.
Admission
Adult admission to the museum only is US$30, to Greenfield Village only is US$33, and to the factory tour only is US$24. Tickets for traditional and classic films for the Giant Screen Experience cost US$10 while feature films cost US$13. Prices are current as of April 2023 and can be found on the official website.
Different packages are available if you want to combine your visit and see more than one attraction. For example, you can get a discounted ticket to the factory tour with a ticket to the museum. Check the official website for specific details.
