The Guardian Building

Reviewed By tymetraveler222 - Bay City, United States

This skyscraper was built in the 1920's. It was built in the ArtDeco style of architecture. It simply is a stunning building, with wonderful creativity throughout. First thing that caught my eye was the array of colors. Phenomenal displays of intricate tile work, unusual art pieces, saturated stained glass, murals/mosaics/marble and more! Many textures used. Marble, travertine, metal, stone. I personally loved the domed ceiling. A treat for the eyes every where you look. Street parking or nearby garage. A few shops, small snack shop, seating arrangements, tours. No charge to enter. Check out the bathrooms! Nice maps/info given out at welcome desk. Very nice docents. Snack shop is good, also.

Campus Martius Park

Reviewed By idzilla - Frankenmuth, United States

In the heart of downtown Detroit, Campus Martius Park is a wonderful place to get into the holiday spirit. With an ice skating rink which you can access for $10 and rent skates for an additional $5. A row of shops offering holiday gifts and the centerpiece is the Cadillac Lodge, which is a giant clear beer tent adorned with leather couches, rocking chairs, wing-back chairs, high-top tables, giant Jenga games and several alcohol stations. We went on a Friday night and the entire area was bustling with people and the lodge had a DJ spinning music. Be prepared for large crowds and fun.
