20900 Oakwood Blvd, Dearborn, MI 48124 Love American History, Technology, Automotive History, or Aviation History? Get all of that and more in one place at the Henry Ford Museum!
It's truly a tribute to inventors, engineers, and designers. It shows the American spirit of ingenuity through inventions and discoveries over the years. It also has a lot of items of historical importance, from the presidents, to civil rights, to the founding fathers! This is a Five Minute Field Trip you won't want to miss! 5 Grand Cavern Rd, Grottoes, VA 24441 Are you ready for one of the oldest shown caves in the country or the world? The Grand Caverns in Grottoes, Virginia is a perfect set of caves in my opinion. Not only are they reasonably priced and accompanied by a nice gift shop, but they're a pretty easy walk (Even Amazing Andrea at age 4 managed the 70 minute walk), and they're filled with hundreds of cool structures. No other cave I've been in yet has so many structures in so few steps!
The tour guides are knowledgeable and fun, and there is just so much to see. There might be bigger, longer, or deeper caves, but this one seems about perfect to us! Mackinac Island, MI Want a Five Minute Field Trip that can keep your family busy for a few days? This might be it!

For Michilimackinac is a wooden palisade fort at the Straits of Mackinac. With people portraying life in colonial Michigan, this is an interesting visit for sure.
