From the beauty of the views in the quad to the hushed calm of the law school to the chaos of south (athletic) campus during a sporting event and you have everything you could want in a college town. Highlights to visit on campus include: - The natural history museum - The grad library reading room - The law library reading room - The "Big House" - Listen to the carillon outside of Rackham school or grad studies - catch a performance at Hill Auditorium or the Power Center for performing arts. - A stroll through the Arboretum (The Arb). So much to do. GO BLUE!

Ann Arbor's best shopping area is full of small boutiques and restaurants, and features a Farmers' Market on weekends.

Wednesday’s and Saturday’s have farmers market selling home made leather goods, home grown fruits and vegetables, organic meats, art and flowers. The people are so open and friendly it’s as though you’re in the middle of a small town rather than a major metropolis.

After touring the U of M campus, our guide left this for last. Well, there is that old saying about saving the best for last. This area not only feels isolated from the rest of campus, it feels isolated from everything else everywhere! Entering the Quadrangle, it's as if there's an immediate hush. And then you enter the Law Library. Almost more of a church, the artwork on the ceilings, the chandeliers, and the stained glass windows are spectacular. Just look it up for yourself, but pictures don't really do it justice. I was told, unverified, that this Library inspired the buildings of Hogwarts. I guess we can believe that, if we like. Impressive is an understatement.

This Stadium is the LARGEST in the country. Each Saturday home game, upon arrival, you feel like your part of one big family as you set up your tents and bring out the food/drinks. I love the atmosphere(ok, except for when it's sleeting, raining or snowing), the 2 new MONSTER video screens. the band/game stadium or PA Announcer is Carl Grapentine. The have all the necessities; bathrooms, concession stands, souvenir shops and of course, a wonderful field to play football on. except for the weather, what's there to hate. All staff will be happy to assist you. So get out, buy a ticket a see this wonderful piece of Ann Arbor sports heaven. Go Blue Mike.

One of the most beautiful churches in Ann Arbor. if you happen to be roman catholic (or even if you're not, still welcome) and want to attend mass, catch the full choir performance it is well worth the effort. Visiting in summer in late afternoon when the sun is coming through the magnificent stained glass windows is truly amazing.

I highly recommend this petting farm was very fun even in the dead of winter.Price is great also didn’t think spending a couple of bucks to help with upkeep and feeding all the animals was pricey at all!
