Visit the only official water park in the city. Chandler Water Park, also known as the Family Aquatic Center, offers Detroit residents and guests the perfect place to enjoy water recreation and cool down when the heat of summer rolls around. Splash around in the wave pool, go down two water slides and let the children have fun in their own special activity pool.
Lace up your roller skates or rollerblades and head on over to the Northland Roller Rink, one of Detroit’s largest roller rinks, for a fun time. Skate during the public sessions to some of your favorite oldies as well as a few of the more current songs. Or, opt for a skating class or laser tag game.
Dispel any misconceptions you may have about Arab Americans and other minorities at the Arab American National Museum. The first and only museum in the country dedicated to Arab American culture and history, this center was created to enhance knowledge about this community. Learn about the Arab civilization’s contributions to global culture as well as the Arab experience in America.
