| rick_h | we've done the lansing science center I think a couple of times and it was fun | 17:23 |
| shakes808 | would rather make the trip to Chicago and go to Shedd's | 17:23 |
| rick_h | shedd's is nice, but last time I was there went through it pretty fast | 17:25 |
| jrwren | dats an aquarium, not the same at all. | 17:25 |
| rick_h | the field museum was awesome | 17:25 |

| cmaloney | brousch__: MI Science center was when outside-folks took over the Detroit Science Center | 17:35 |
| cmaloney | it was a bit of a dump | 17:35 |
| cmaloney | Impressions 5 was pretty cool last I was there | 17:35 |
| cmaloney | but that was over 10 years ago | 17:35 |
| cmaloney | Oh, and The Detroit Zoo is awesome | 17:36 |
| cmaloney | Even during the cold months | 17:36 |
| _stink_ | +1 for the michigan science center | 17:46 |

| jrwren | Museum of African American History is really cool. Detroit Historical Museum is great. | 17:48 |
| jrwren | close enough. | 17:48 |
| jrwren | and outside detroit, The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are super fun, all the time. I've been to those far more than any of the others. | 17:49 |
| brousch__ | Yeah, we've been there recently, mostly during makerfaires | 17:49 |
| brousch__ | My sister in Royal Oak had a baby, so I'm thinking of visiting her and hitting a museum in Detroit | 17:50 |

| dzho | microcenter++ | 17:52 |
| cmaloney | ++++ | 17:53 |
| rick_h | detroit zoo is good, we take an annual winter trip as the animals are more out and about and it's less busy/really nice | 17:54 |
| jrwren | great to see the polar bears when it is cold. | 17:58 |
| rick_h | yea, and the artic fox, and the normal bears are out more, etc | 17:59 |
| _stink_ | i agree, zoo during winter is great | 18:01 |
| _stink_ | esp the lack of crowds | 18:01 |
| cmaloney | ++ | 18:01 |
| rick_h | yea, another bonus | 18:01 |
| rick_h | just wish it had better food options but that's what a cooler and wagon are for :) | 18:01 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, and the cafeteria is all the way in the back | 18:02 |
| cmaloney | that's the only thing that's open | 18:02 |
| jrwren | never good food options at such places. | 18:04 |
| jrwren | but so close to royal oak, we spend afternoon at zoo and then dinner at Mesa Tacos :) | 18:06 |
| cmaloney | That's about all you can get there | 18:24 |
