hh … finally summertime
in Michigan. There are
always so many activities
and adventures to fill these long but
glorious days. Parks, beaches, pools,
museums and zoos are tried-and-
true options for summer fun.
As a lifelong Michigan resident,
I’m always looking for different
things to do when the kids are out of
school. With so much going on from
Memorial Day to Labor Day, the
hardest part isn’t finding what to do
but deciding what to do. Read on for
a taste of some of the many Metro
Detroit kid-friendly activities to fill
your summer.

NEW TO DO
Last year was an exciting one in
terms of new things to do in and
around town. For example, the Lego
Discovery Center (michigan.
legolanddiscoverycenter.com)
opened at Great Lakes Crossing
in Auburn Hills. The Detroit
Zoo (detroitzoo.org) opened the
much-anticipated Polk Penguin
Conservation Center, and the
Outdoor Adventure Center
(michigan.gov/oac) brought a taste
of the great outdoors to an indoor
facility Downtown.
So what’s new to do this summer?
How about free movies at Emagine
Theatres (emagine-entertainment.
com/free-kids-summer-movie-

series)? On select Wednesdays and
Saturdays at 10 a.m., participating
theaters will screen popular kids’
films, such as Kung Fu Panda 3, The
Secret Life of Pets, Trolls and Middle
School: The Worst Years of My Life,
just to name a few. Admission is
free for kids 11 and under and $2 for
moviegoers 12 and up.
Book lovers are eagerly anticipat-
ing the first annual Detroit Festival
of Books (detroitbookfest.com),
scheduled for Sunday, July 16, at
Eastern Market. The festival is the
first used and rare book festival in
Detroit. Admission is free.
After more than a decade of plan-
ning, the much-anticipated streetcar
system along Woodward Avenue is
finally open. Kids under 44 inches
can ride the QLine free with an
adult. A single-ride pass, good for
three hours, costs $1.50 and an
all-day pass is $3. Riders have easy
access to venues such as the Detroit
Institute of Arts, the Michigan
Science Center, Comerica Park and
Campus Martius Park.

A DAY IN THE D
In addition to a ride on the QLine,
there is so much to do in Detroit. If
you haven’t already, head Downtown
and see why the rest of the nation is
calling Detroit the comeback city.
