Ann Arbor Cyclery is your best bet for friendly, knowledgeable, quality bicycle service in Ann Arbor. I took my 10 yr old GT Tequesta mountain bike in to replace: a cracked headset, locked front derailleur, stripped cassette, rusty chain, missing spokes, and some cables. :) I took the bike to several other local shops and got quotes exceeding $250. I was immediately impressed with the friendly and open attitude of both employees at the shop. I was sold when the total repair cost was almost half that of 'the other guys'. Of course, the bike rides perfectly now. They were very supportive of DIY solutions. I noticed that they were very kind and helpful to the more inexperienced cyclers also at the shop. Support your local bike shop: support the Ann Arbor Cyclery! 9-10-07

Our family has always loved the Hands On Museum. The exhibits are well--designed, fun and educational. We could always get a big smile from the kids when we said we were going to the Hands On Museum. Science education should always be this fun! The facility has undergone some major improvements over the years (my oldest daughter is 25, so we go way back), but being downtown parking is one thing they haven't been able to improve. However, it is well worth the parking hassle to watch the kids have a great time and learn something as well.

If you get a chance to get to Ann Arbor, stop by the Ann Arbor hands on museum. Ann Arbor Hands On Museum is one of the best museums in the country. It is absoluetly fabulous for class field trips. Their is a ton of things for the children to do. The parents are also kept very interested. To top it off, the staff is very helpful in planning the trip. The cost is reasonable. I love this museum

This is a very large ice rink stadium. There are several ice rinks in the building, all which have lots of room for spectators. They have lots of activities going on from ice skating lessons, to figure skating and lots of hockey games that go on throughout the entire year. A decent sized snack shop, and parking is very easy.

Gallup Park is a great place to go if you're looking to have a picnic with friends and then go canoing on the Huron River. While Gallup Park doesn't have the wide open spaces that The Arb has, it has a rental place where you can grab a canoe and jump on the water. While it may cost you $40 or more to rent a canoe somewhere else, at Gallup Park it's much cheaper and affordable for students to go and take a lazy ride on the river. It's a good time for everyone during the summer with beautiful scenery. It's worth a look if you're looking to do something different with your days in Ann Arbor.

Barclay Gallery is a great place to bring a date, believe it or not. They have a lot of interesting stuff to check out and it’s all very classy, which can make for a romantic experience. Maybe I just got lucky. They have a great selection of Japanese prints, as well as a large custom framing staff who really know what they’re doing.

Bivouac is THE place to go if you're looking for any outdoor gear in Ann Arbor. They have a price match guarantee: I printed out a sale page from an online Northface retailer and they gave it to me for the same price. The staff are extremely helpful and know their stuff! Bivouac also sells men's and women's designer fashion (expensive, but sometimes goes on sale).
I could spend hours in this store...Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful outdoor pool. The locker rooms are clean, the water was clean and a good temperature, and I was able to do lap swim with no one else in the lane. Affordable price and is even cheaper if you're an Ann Arbor resident. Easy parking.

I am 13 years old, and just finished my second year attending camp caen. there are people i know who have been attending Caen since they were 9 years old. Going to Camp Caen is a must for any kid with an interest in programming. They have such a wide range of classes from basic HTML to Java, C++, c#, Adobe, Graphics, 3D images, and so much more. The camp recently switched to commuter only, and it is a full day camp from 8:30 in the morning to 5 pm. We eat lunch at Bursley dining hall, where the food is pretty decent and they have many choices. In the 2 weeks I was there, I learned so much its incredible! The morning class is 3 hours long, with short breaks. Lunch, and then 45 minutes of afternoon recreation. People sit in the grass and chat, read, or play frisbee or kickball. AFternoon class goes on until 3:30, and from 3:30-5 is free time, meaning you can either play Counterstrike, a free video game offered at Camp, play Capture the Flag, offered 3 times a week, or work on a final Project. During the second week, every campter completes a final project, and on the very last day there is a presentaion for the parents. Although the work we do at CAEN is special, its all the people that make it so Exceptional. The counselors all are 19-23, and great with teen (Ages 9-16). The CITS are 17/18 and in high school and super friendly. the director and assisant director also make camp special.
For me, I can see myself easily attending this camp until I am 16, and then being a CIT until I am 18 or so. If I cotinue into the College of Engineering, I will definetly apply to be a counselor.
Camp caen was a great experience and I thank each and every one of the staff members for making it so memorable.

I've never purchased a bike here nor have I had need for their repairwork.
I have, however, had the misfortune of buying more than a few locks here. It seems no matter how much you invest in a lock, or how seemingly worthless your bike is, someone will steal it.
Over the course of 4 years at Michigan, I purchased five locks here. They (the staff) were always helpful, and had a sympathetic ear. They also were happy to suggest a lock that would be acceptably deterrent at a reasonable price. Being a bike shop on a college campus, they obviously have a great selection of locks.
Recommended!
