It doesn’t matter how old you are, or whether your tastes run to nature or sport – there are plenty of pleasing attractions near Ann Arbor vacation rentals. You can soak up the sights in the Matthaei Botanical Gardens, where walking trails wind between wildflowers, and dazzling plans flourish in the vast conservatory. There’s even a Tudor-style herb garden featuring plants used in old healing recipes. Here with little ones? Stimulate their minds at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum, where they can explore interactive exhibits that will fire up scientific curiosity. And then, of course, there’s Michigan Stadium – the largest football arena in the whole of United States. They don’t call this the Big House for nothing.
Where better to see the trees of Tree Town than Nichols Arboretum? Known simply as the Arb, this is a sprawling realm of exotic trees and flowers, tastefully laid out in sculpted grounds dating back more than a century. The Main Valley is a focal point, though there’s plenty to explore around the Arb, whether you want to take in the natural landmarks, recline on hillsides with a book, or tuck into a picnic while people-watching. Afterwards, you can mingle with the locals in Kerrytown, the historic quarter known for its craft shops, artisan food stores, and cultural hangouts tucked away on brick-lined streets.
