Wonderful Experience
Greenfield village is absolutely amazing! Staff are friendly, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable, and the park is clean and well-managed. As this is both outdoors and incredibly expansive, we were able to easily keep ourselves socially distanced aside from waiting for the Train and the Model T rides. I would recommend doing these rides as early as possible in an attempt to lessen your wait time. The glassblowing, pottery, and printmaking buildings were incredibly cool and very informative. I'm sure the tinsmith would have been too, but unfortunately it was closed for renovation during our visit. The houses and other buildings were in incredible condition. Our favorites included Noah Webster's house, the Wright Brothers' Cycle Shop, and the Dutch Windmill. We were able to see about 90% of this in one day moving at a bit of a clip. We visited Greenfield Village in conjunction with Henry Ford Museum over the course of 2 days. If I were to go again, I would allot 3 days total so that we could see everything in both locations and still have time to do the Ford Rouge Factory Tour.

Would love to see this spot at another time of year!
Good experience...4th of July weekend closed at 3pm (early than normal 5pm) Had a good time, but lots of houses and buildings closed...just had to peak in the windows. That was a letdown. Want to go back to ride horse and carriage (closed for weekend). Model T ride was short for 40 minute wait, very little explanation from our driver other than about the car itself. We were hoping for commentary on the village which we had heard from other drivers traveling by us early in the weekend. Luck of the draw. Enjoy train rides and bus rides. If you are going to be there an entire weekend buy the membership WITH rides and save on the movies(FREE) inside the Ford Museum as well! Great DEAL!
