We definitely recommend this city as a vacation spot for your next trip! ATTRACTIONS Motown Museum • For all the music lovers out there, this museum is a destination not to be missed. The famed Motown recording company is located at 2648 W Grand Street. Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, and many more all recorded here. Step back in time to experience the history of this influential company and driving force behind it to keep the music alive today. [motownmuseum.org] Feather Bowling • Originating in Belgium, feather bowling consists of wooden balls with a shape similar to a cheese wheel that are rolled down a concave lane to see how close it can land to a feather at the end. It is truly a must-see! The Cadieux Cafe in Detroit is one of a few locations in the U.S. that offers this unique sport. The official League practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays but the rest of the week is open for all! [cadieuxcafe.com/featherbowling/] Detroit Institute of the Arts • Detroit is home to one of the most prominent art museums in the United States, The Detroit Institute of the Arts.
