Very excited to have finally visit this historic place and important part of music history. I cannot wait for the extension. My only comment is that we not allowed to take any photos inside and the tour even the host is lovely, I hate guided tours. But I knew this would happen. Hope that in the future they also provide none guided tours and photos taken. Definitely recommend visiting tho.

What a fantastic museum! Although definitely understated from the outside, it opens up the moment that you step through the door! Chock-full of priceless pictures and artifacts, it is a true honor to get to be so near! Our tour guide was wonderfully knowledgeable, what a lovely site.

If you re a fan of music history, the Motown Museum is the place to go. The tour guides are incredible and highly engaging, and the tour itself is spectacular, taking you on an educational journey through the history of the label. I highly recommend this place to anyone who lives in or is visiting Detroit!

In a bad neighborhood but worth it to get a few pictures of the house. Unfortunately only got to see the gift shop since at 2pm a sign was posted saying no more tours for the day. Guess it s really popular. If you want to go best to buy your tickets in advance online and don t expect to go and just get in.

The tour was sold out so we didn't get a chance to view the inside. I wanted to go in so bad. If you're in Detroit and you would like to go to Motown you have to book your tickets really early if not you will not be able to view the museum.

I was always hooked on oldies !R&B... Loving the sounds of Motown , Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, The Temptations and Stevie Wonder to name a few... No record lable ever can compare to the hit making machine of motown . Although it was a few years back when i visited everything is exactly like it was as if it were still in use. The tour began in a room where a film was shown about the history of motown. Then we were given a tour of the recording studio and upstairs was Berry Gordys house, just as it looked when he used to live there. Also some famous memorabilia in glass cases, at the end of our visit the gift shop. Defently a must see when in Detroit..

To be in the Studio were all the Motown songs were recorded that I grew up listening too was Truly an Honor. Music has been one of two constants in my LIFE. SPIRITUALITY and MUSIC have been my Constant Companion. Thank you Berry Gordy and the MOTOWN FAMILY. LOVE YOU ALL.

Wonderful history on this tour. Carolyn was a phenomenal tour guide and very knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed the studio at the end of the tour. Staff was courteous from arrival to exit. Very good with Covid safety procedures. We had a great time.

To stand in the studio where so many iconic artists recorded their early hits is a moving experience. A small museum telling a big story. Great guide told the Berry Gordy & Motown story with passion and energy.

Today was free general admission day.. It was set up poorly because everyone that went there was not allowed entrance.. They simply should have just let everyone in and out in an orderly fashion til closing period. ( For example.. 10 or 20 people at a time could have gone in and out all day til closing. ) WE SHOULD NOT HAD TO HAVE NO NUMBERS, COLORS, WRISTBANDS, NO NOTHING...

My experience here was made by our exceptionally warm, funny and knowledgeable guide. I wish I could remember his name (it was Saturday Feb 2 and he has been working there for 6 years). Learn all about the creation of the Motown legend and stand in the studio where your favorite music was recorded. My favorite museum in Detroit.

I am so thankful that my mom and I went to tour Motown Museum. It felt great being surrounded by musical history. I felt the presence of all the musicians who visit and recorded at Studio A at Motown. Make sure you go and visit if you are in the Detroit area.

This place was amazing! Grew up listening to Motown and had this on the bucket list. I was so glad I did it. Worth every dime. This recording label delivered more than music. It delivered a message and the tour guide put it in perspective. Thank you Jordan. When we met i thought id be schooling you. Thank you for educating me. Awesome stories you told. The staff was super friendly so props to the management. You have a awesome team. There is alot of Detroit luv in this house.

The Motown Museum is a must see in Detroit for both residents and visitors. Berry Gordy accomplished so much in so little time with a small amount of money, a lot of work and incredible vision. But, don't let me tell you the story, hear the incredible history for yourself. The staff of the Motown Museum are excellent, the tour guides very knowledgeable, the memorabilia and experience is well worth the price of admission. I've met people who have come here from all over the world.

It's small and guided tour only, on 1/2 hr schedules, but it is awesome. Web site says no cell phones but almost everyone kept theirs they just don't allow pictures although our guide did let people take pics of just one area.

We came from Indiana to see the museum and was very impressed with our tour guide! She was fun and had a lot of character. Her free ticket stories and knowledge of Motown was phenomenal! Thank for your hospitality!

The guide was amazing and first time here with some guests out of town I have to say I am impressed and adding it to the stops whenever we have visitors that know about the music history of Detroit.
