Cost: $15/person. NO REFUNDS. You will need to bring money for food, shopping, and any other entertainment. Students, scholars, and family members are welcome.

Registration: In order to reserve your spot for this trip, you can pay online or in-person at the Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO), which is located in the underground level of the Michigan Union. If you are paying in-person, ask for the International Center’s Detroit Day Trip. Cash or credit cards are accepted. When purchasing the tickets, you must use a promo code and provide a phone number and email (in case of emergency during the trip). Limited space is available and each person is allowed to purchase up to two tickets.
Update: This trip is sold out and we do not keep a waitlist. If you were unable to purchase a ticket and still wish to come, on the day of the trip, bring the exact amount of cash ($15 per person) for the trip and meet us at the pick-up location (outside the Student Activities Building on Jefferson Street). This will be “first come, first served”, so we cannot guarantee you will be able to get on the bus.
| Pick-up/Drop-off Location | Departure Time |
|---|---|
| Outside the Student Activities Building on Jefferson Street | 9:00 AM |
| Detroit, Michigan (Downtown) | 3:00 PM |
We recommend that you arrive at the pick-up location 10-15 minutes early. The bus will depart Detroit at 3:00 PM and arrive back in Ann Arbor around 4:00 PM. Late arrivals cannot be accommodated.
Event Description: Join the International Center on a day trip to Detroit! We will begin the day with a walking tour of Downtown Detroit, where we will learn about the history of the city and see some of its most famous landmarks. We will then have a few hours of free time to grab lunch and explore the city. You are welcome to go shopping, go to a museum, or just walk around the city -- whatever you prefer!
This trip includes transportation to and from Detroit and the Downtown walking tour.
