What happens on the day
Detroit may have put the world on wheels with its industrial beginnings, but you’ll be flying high above the downtown streets of the Motor City on this exciting helicopter adventure. Climb aboard a Robinson R44 helicopter and buckle up in your window seat as you feel the rev of the rotors begin to hum like the beat of Motown. Then feel yourself lift off the ground and soar into the sky.
You’ll take off from Grosse Ile Township then head to the city, catching glimpses of the sun as it shimmers off of the river. As the downtown skyline comes into view, get your camera ready. You’ll buzz over the Renaissance Center, Ford Field, and Comerica Park. Snap photos of Motor City Casino, Grand Central Station, and the beautiful Belle Isle.
As your tour comes to a close, you’ll head back downriver to the airport, marveling over how time flies when you’re in the air. Whether you’re a visitor to Detroit or a long-time local, this scenic Downtown Helicopter Tour gives you a unique perspective on the city!
