THE BREAKFAST CLUB // FARMINGTON
The Breakfast Club is family orientated, the food is always delicious and the staff is friendly. What do the kids like about it? The kids love the fruit and chocolate covered strawberries that come with every meal. If you’re going on a Sunday, get their early to beat the rush otherwise the wait times can last up to 45 mins.
MT ELLIOT PARK // DETROIT
This recently renovated park on the East Riverfront is nice anytime of year, but in the summer the schooner-themed water park comes alive. Kids can play in water cascades, “child-activated” water cannons, wind chimes, and an array of fountains. It’s also accessible to all and even boasts a restroom and cafe.
CHARLES H. WRIGHT MUSEUM // DETROIT
The African-American Museum has free children’s programming including storytelling and STEM activities, plus free admission during DTE Energy Foundation Free Second Sundays.
“Rather than tell them what not to do, teach and show them what they should do.”
