Greektown is popular, especially as a place to park and go to a football/basketball/hockey/baseball game. There's lots of good food and bar options in the area as well.

There's several good museums, the Henry Ford museum, Holocaust museum, great lakes museum, Detroit institute of arts, Motown museum.

I'm not OP but have you ever been to the techno museum? My friend wanted to go last time we were there but we didn't have time.

I didn't even know that was a thing, but it sounds cool.
