Less than half an hour away from Detroit, you’ll find Livonia’s Rotary Park. Although only a small, one-acre park, this little green gem is a great place for those looking to stretch their legs outdoors. Walk along the lovely, wooded trails that pass by some River Rouge tributaries, head to the baseball field and tennis courts or bring your dog out for some fresh air.

Bibliophiles rejoice! John K. King Books in downtown Detroit boasts four above-ground floors and a basement full of rare and used books for the public to peruse and purchase. The largest independent bookseller in the state, this enormous collection (over 1 million books) accounts for most of the store’s business–but true book collectors will want to make an appointment to view the rarer antiques next door.

Adults can escape to their own wonderland at the MGM Grand Detroit Casino, one of three casino hotels in the city and the first major luxury casino resort outside of Las Vegas. Not a gambler? This hotel resort is also filled with first-class restaurants, lounges, bars and clubs as well as a relaxing spa and a trendy boutique.
