Things To Do: River Walk

Sunday, November 29, 2009

Planning our Destination Detroit Wedding has really opened my eyes to all the interesting things the city has to offer. I hope to post some details of fun Detroit sites and activities for our out of town guests over the next few months.

It is hard to imagine it now in the cold weather, but the Detroit River Walk is a jumpin’ spot in the summer months. The Riverwalk is a paved walkway that extends 3 1/2 miles along the Detroit River. It just so happens to go right past the Omni Hotel, one of the hotels where we will have a room block. You can spend the day walking the Riverwalk, stopping at the sites along the walk, such as the Chene Park, Rivard Plaza and the Butterfly Gardens.

If walking isn’t adventurous enough for you, you can head to the Wheel House Detroit, rent a bicycle and ride it in style. The Wheel House has Cruisers, Hybrid and Tandem bikes. The rates range from $15-$28 for a two hour rental, depending on what kind of bike you want. They also have guided tours through different parts of Detroit City.

Spending time on the River Walk could be a really fun way to spend the day Saturday before our wedding. Just make sure you leave enough time to get pretty for the big event starting at 7:30pm.
