Q: How long does it take to visit Henry Ford Museum? Greenfield Village? Ford Rouge Factory Tour?
A: There is so much to see and do at the Henry Ford, there really is no set amount of time spent that will suit every visitor. We suggest combo tickets and a multi-day, multi-venue ticket if you are interested in a “deep dive” into all of our exhibitions and programs. However, you do not need much time at all to be inspired by our brand of History—a couple of well placed hours are all it takes for a great visit. Our easy trip planner or our interactive venue maps (see the home page of this website) are a great way to get an overview. (If you are visiting Ford Rouge Factory Tour, be sure to build in enough time for travel to and from the main campus of the Museum—count an extra hour, ½ hour each way.)
