 Beloved island treasure |
Belle Isle Detroit, MI 48207 United States +1 313 852 4082 |
Few cities have anything this splendid: an island park of nearly 1,000 acres. Accessible by a vehicle bridge only ten minutes' drive from downtown, Belle Isle has been Detroiters' favorite place of refuge and recreation for 150 years or more. It's a great spot to watch the magnificent ore freighters gliding down the river. Around the island, there are two yacht clubs, a swimming beach, a children's zoo, an aquarium, a conservatory, formal gardens, ball fields, handball courts, tennis courts, an old lighthouse, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, a senior center, lagoons, a woods with white-tailed deer, a golf course and many picnic areas. The Scott Fountain with its grotesque gargoyles provides a great evening light show. A drive around the island any time of year is a great break for a busy day. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Short breaks for animal lovers |
Inselruhe Ave and Loiter Way (Belle Island) Detroit, MI 48207 United States +1 248 398 0900 http://www.detroitzoo.org |
Situated in the middle of Belle Isle are 20 acres of wild nature that was long known as the Children's Zoo. An elevated walkway takes visitors past large exhibits where exotic animals roam, including kangaroos, cheetahs and tigers. The Zoo also features nature trails, and an Exploration Lodge. It's a manageable visit for small children and a great short break for adults. Review © 2007, Wcities |
