Welcome to the Ann Arbor community!
Ann Arbor is centered around the University of Michigan. The U of M campus intermingles with downtown, and the whole area is walkable, though day buses run between the campuses and the central business district. Toyota, General Motors, Ford, Thomson, Google, and Domino's have a major presence in the area. The University is well known for its medical school complex.

Downtown Ann Arbor is not large, so it's easy to get around just by walking. In fact, free parking is almost nonexistent, especially when the town is full of students, so you'll probably prefer to walk anyway.

If you are traveling with kids, the best place to go is to the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum. But hey! This doesn't mean that if you are traveling without them you can enjoy your visit here. Their mission is to create engaging STEM experiences for their visitors of all ages. With four floors and more than 250 exhibits, special programming every weekend, and evening workshops, they aim to inspire curiosity and wonder in children through activities, interaction and play.

For a deeper learning experience, you can visit the interesting Kelsey Museum of Archeology. The museum is located on the central campus of the University of Michigan. It occupies two connected buildings. They encourage visitors to tour their galleries, which are open to the public free of charge every day but Monday. Here is a cool fact about this place: "The Kelsey Museum is the brainchild of Francis W. Kelsey, Professor of Latin at the University of Michigan from 1889 to 1927. Kelsey pursued an active program of collecting antiquities for use in teaching and launched the first university-sponsored archaeological excavations in the Mediterranean and Near Eastern regions in 1924. Most of the artifacts in the Kelsey Museum come from excavations carried out in Egypt and Iraq in the 1920s and 1930s."

Visit the popular "Law Quad" of Michigan's University. The striking Gothic-style buildings that form the William W. Cook Law Quadrangle include the Lawyers Club with residential facilities; the Legal Research building, which contains the Reading Room and faculty offices; the Allan F. and Alene Smith Library, one of the world's best law libraries; and Hutchins Hall, with classrooms, seminar rooms, and faculty and administrative offices.

If you are into plants and nature, you can also visit the Matthaei Botanical Gardens. In 1907, the University created a Botanical Garden and Arboretum on the land between Geddes Road and the Huron River. Today the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum manages over 700 acres of gardens, research areas, and nature preserves around the Ann Arbor area with a complex of conservatory, greenhouses, laboratory, teaching, and meeting spaces. 

- Downtown Ann Arbor. Most of the shops and restaurants are here. The other popular student hangouts are along South University Street. 
- Michigan Theater, a restored 1928 cinema, complete with two organs, one of them a vintage 1927 pipe organ. The theater shows mainly independent and foreign films, with special classic-film showings throughout the year. 
- State Theater, an art-deco cinema from 1942, the State Theater works in conjunction with the Michigan Theater, and often plays films that have stopped showing at the Michigan.
- The Ark, a nonprofit, intimate music club with 400 seats, which usually hosts folk/rock performers.
