5 Instagram Accounts to Follow if You’re Looking for Family Fun in Detroit
As a mom of twins, I’m constantly looking for family fun in Detroit. I hate when I look online and see other parents posting about the fun activities they are doing with their kids that I didn’t even know about! I thought it would be great to put together a quick blog post to share some of my favorite local Instagram accounts to follow to make sure you’re in the know about all of the upcoming family fun in Detroit!

This is by far the best account to follow if you are a parent of young children living in southeast Michigan. At the time of writing this, the account has almost 84k followers on Instagram. You’ll know you have the correct account pulled up when you see the cutest profile photo of a mama and baby elephant. Their whole account gives parents the inside scoop on everything happening near Detroit that kids will love. The reason I personally enjoy following their instagram account specifically is because they don’t just share the name of events and locations in the area, they actually post videos and walk-through content to help parents understand the important details. Sometimes, as a parent, we need to know more than what attractions will be an event. We want to know if a space is stroller friendly, if it has snacks, if there are public restrooms available. The video walk through can really help us figure out all of those important details!

The woman behind this account’s name is Michelle Maleszyk. As I’m writing this article, the account has just over 35k followers on Instagram. Michelle does an amazing job of highlighting all of the family friendly things happening in the Detroit area and also posts lots of travel tips for exploring our beautiful state (and beyond). It’s great to see everything from her unique perspective as a fun and authentic Michigan mom. I highly recommend checking out the account and giving it a follow!

This is an account that highlights lots of great spots all throughout Michigan to get out and go to with your kids. It isn’t just specific to southeast Michigan. The account highlights attractions, exhibits, vacation spots, and kid-friendly restaurants throughout the whole state. At the time of writing this blog post, they have just over 12k followers, so it’s definitely an account to follow to see all the options for family fun in Detroit!

This is one of those hidden gem accounts. As I’m writing this blog post, the account has just under 2k followers on Instagram. I just stumbled upon it one day and decided to follow, but I really enjoy the posts. One thing that is neat about this account is that it breaks up the highlights by county, which makes it easy to quickly go through attractions and events happening near you. The account has the highlights broken into the following counties: Wayne, Macomb, Oakland, and Ingham.

I actually JUST found out about this program a few weeks ago, but I thought it was such a great idea that I had to share. This group schedules nature walks for kids of different age groups. The idea behind the group is to create enrichment opportunities for children to find community in nature (even in the cold months). The parents come on the nature walks, which are normally scheduled weekly. They even have drop-off options at certain times of the year. If you’re a nature lover like me, this is definitely something to check out! For more info, you can check out their website here: https://michiganforestschool.com/
