Through a Network of Bus Companies, Find Transportation to the Henry Ford Museum and Beyond!
Through a network of bus companies serving Ann Arbor and Southeast Michigan, you can easily arrange transportation to some of the region's most extraordinary field trip destinations outside Washtenaw County! The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation is approximately 35 miles from Ann Arbor — about 45 to 60 minutes via US-23 South to I-94 East — and features a designated motorcoach lot with advance coordination through group sales. The Detroit Zoo is about 40 miles away and offers designated bus and RV parking with advance arrangements.
School groups visiting the Detroit Zoo must reserve at least one month ahead, pay in full two weeks before the visit, and budget a $12 parking cost per bus or motor coach on the Detroit Zoo’s field-trip eligibility and parking policy. Buses enter through the parking-lot entrance off West 10 Mile Road, stay left, and turn into the large lot, where Zoo staff direct the drop-off and bus parking in the Detroit Zoo field-trip arrival guide. Instead of splitting your class into a caravan of parent cars, one charter bus keeps every student together for the whole trip.

Buses typically drop students curbside on N University Ave outside the Biological Sciences Building, then coordinate staging through UM Parking & Transportation. Because UM campus bus loading is regulated and assignments can vary by date and event, it is always a good idea to confirm your specific drop-off zone through pts.umich.edu before your visit.
