The Metro Detroit area has hours worth of fun and activities for its smaller residents and their parents. Detroit Kids Catalog combines over twenty-five hundred activities in metropolitan Detroit from short outings to daylong excursions, in a handy and easy to use guide.

In this updated edition of her best-selling Detroit Kids Catalog: The Hometown Tourist (1990), Ellyce Field calls on both her years as a family entertainment columnist at the Detroit News and her own family's experiences to write the ultimate guide for those looking to explore Metro Detroit. Field includes museums, parks, nature centers, u-pick farms, farmers markets, youth theaters, local area malls, and seasonal family festivals and events, as well as a host of unusual outings the whole family will enjoy. To ease the strain of long drives with the kids, the majority of sites are within a two-hour drive of Detroit. Although many of the sites have the younger tourist in mind, there are hours of fun for the adult resident as well.

Detroit Kids Catalog is a welcome addition to the glove compartment of any car or minivan. This updated edition combines hours of activities for parents, grandparents, teachers, scout lenders, and anyone interested in pulling the kids away from the television and exploring Metro Detroit.
