Cranbrook Institute of Science

Gorgeous science and space museum!

Cute cafe inside with a variety of different things to eat. If you are gluten or celiac sensitive they have a small selection of options, fruit cups, eggs... Etc.

The surrounding grounds are full of trails to explore and hike through.

Lovely experience we will definitely be going back. One of our new favorite places.

This is a solid Museum with a reasonable entrance fee.

You can pay extra to see the rotating special exhibit. It was a space exhibit when I went. There's also a cafeteria. I think you could safely plan on spending 2-3+ hours here. I liked that there were a lot of things that you could touch such as a rock from the Moon and an old Mastodon bone that had been cut by old human tools.

A lot of areas were closed however including a theater, a planetarium, and an outside area. The only other negative is that I didn't feel like there was a lot of detail on the exhibit descriptions, not a lot of in depth information. I usually learn more when I go to museums. This Museum was still fun and the kids liked it. I'm giving it four stars because there are other five star museums around such as the Henry Ford and the DIA.

Worth a visit though for sure.

Have not been here in years but took my daughter and we had an amazing day. Exhibits were amazing and self led. Would like to return to planetarium in evening to watch show. Gift shop and restaurant are closed.

Great place to go to with family and or friends. A lot of fun and interesting things to do and see. Good for adults and especially kids. The staff was very kind and helpful even very informative on all kinds of subjects. Masks required and they were also very clean there was always access to hand sanitizer.
