1. Go Sledding.
There are many free sledding hills for you and your family to enjoy in the Metro Detroit area. Sledding is a great family-friendly activity for the winter. Plus, sharing a nice hot cup of hot chocolate is a great way to end the day.
2. Visit Campus Martius.

There are many other incredible museums in Detroit to visit such as the Detroit Historical Museum, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, the Michigan Science Center, and The Henry Ford.
4. Stay Indoors.
If it is too cold outside, you can always find something to do indoors! Try baking cookies with your family or share some warm hot chocolate. When you are done, snuggle up to watch a movie or have a family game night.
5. Visit the Detroit Zoo or the Belle Isle Aquarium.
The Detroit area has many great attractions, but the Detroit Zoo is a great place to visit when you’re looking for something to do.

Visiting the aquarium is free however, all vehicles entering Belle Isle State Park are required to have a Recreation Passport.
