Nice one hour guided tour. A great look back at how and where Motown was started and the individuals involved. Love the history of the Gordy family. Enjoyed the tour of the living quarters and Studio A. Tour Guide Jordan kept us entertained and made it interactive.
Daughter wanted to get photos in front of Motown Museum while visiting Detroit from Texas.
A trip to Detroit isn't complete without a stop at the Motown Museum. The tours are excellent and bring you back to Motown's unparalleled 60s and 70s music.
Wonderful experience being in such a historical place!
Moved thru museum fast, can't take pic. Guide awesome
Excellent tour. I learned a lot about Motown and the amazing work done here.
Be prepared to have some fun and immerse yourself into a time when Motown was producing all the best artists.
What an awesome place to find out about our rich musical history!
Great tour guide she was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable it was an exciting experience will definitely come back!
Hard to describe it, when you make a pilgrimage... Videos, photos, artifacts...then...you get to go into the studio. Motown Studio A. Every single song from 1959-1972 on every Motown affiliated label was recorded here. I kissed the studio door, knowing it had been touched by Stevie, Smokey, Diana, Michael, Marvin, Martha... Maybe a trace of DNA was there...
Our tour guide Jordan made this visit extremely worthwhile. Please visit if you are ever in Detroit.
Iconic house preserved to represent 60's era. A lot happened here and you can feel it.
The history, both musical & cultural is presented in a personal touch tour. You see how the magic happened and what took place behind the scenes creating the Hitsville global phenomenon.
I don't believe the Marvelettes got there due praise as being the first girl group. What happened to their gold record?
Really a great experience. You will learn a lot about what shaped Motown. Highly recommend the hour tour. Fact: Paul McCartney paid for the 100 year old piano restoration.
Wonderful experience, even if you don't get a chance to do the tour. Book online or come early for the tour because the tour schedules fill up fast.
Great tour! Interesting place. Lots of great music history! So glad we went!
Cool view of Motown history. Fun tour guide & gift shop
This place is pretty awesome love hearing about the history of Motown and it came out of Detroit.
FANTASTIC! Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable about the artists and history of how Motown came to be. Ticket prices are very reasonable as well. A must-see for any music fan!
The birthplace of some of the best music ever created, and you can stand in the very studio where it all happened! Unmissable.
Just so much history and information packed all in one hour amazing! I finally got to see the place where it all started and legends were born. Also I would suggest buying tickets online because it is first come first serve and they tend to sell out fast especially if you visit on a weekend.
If you dig music this is a must stop! $15.00. 30 min.
Tour, great memories. People from all over the world!
The tour was very informative and full of historical memorabilia!
Museum was nice but the thing that sucks is No parking it's bad we had to walk like 5 blocks away in a un safe part of town
Tour guide brought the story to life like you where there when it started.
Wonderful tour. Our guide was spirited, knowledgeable, and sweet. Definitely worth the price of admission. The gift shop had many interesting items, and we purchased several. If you are a true music fan, please add this to your to do list.
We are looking forward to the museum addition, and will return in the near future.
PS The area is very pretty now. So wonderful to see.
Very cool. So much history. Recording studio and offices still in original condition down to the appointment book on reception desk.
To stand in the same place where the Motown Sound was made: Bliss!
An incredible experience made infinitely more enjoyable by our fun, enthusiastic and genuine tour guide, Jordan.
All Motown. Fantastic if you want history of R& B, Soul or great history of The D as far as music!!! What,!!!! Simply put this is the place.
Great tour, fantastic history, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide!
We are so thankful that we will see you all tomorrow.
Awesome Tour! Lots of great items and info to learn about. Truly enjoyed bringing Cub Scouts here, to walk in the footsteps of Legends
Great tour. Interesting facts and stories. Bad parking situation. Otherwise 5 star visit.
A lot of great history at this museum. The staff is courteous, unless your taking pictures. The hour long tour is very informative, but over priced.
"WoW" What great experience..it was like throwing yourself back in time during the tour.. Just Amazing
Was closed when i got there. Was just happy to get some pic
Buy your tickets beforehand. Cannot stress this enough. We got lucky and got the last tickets for the day. The tour was very interesting and our tour guide was top notch. She was entertaining and made the tour more memorable. You can only take pictures in the actual studio and outside. It s crazy to think how much history was made in this small space.
Loved it.. So in formative about Motown beginning and entire existence..
Awesome tour. The place is bigger than I thought. I liked being in Studio A where a lot of the popular artist recorded their music.
The Motown magic the sound the music and the artist
I love it, you can feel the history throughout the building...
Great experience...tour guide very good...highly recommended
Tickets weren't available the day we drive three hours to see it...
Enjoyed it there, love the music and it was interesting hearing how it all began.
Loved the tour, the history in Studio A is just amazing
Great part of Detroit history! Jordan was a great docent.
spirit! the presentation, sounds,and feelings here are authentic and impactful. this history bears retelling. they are adding space soon (still keeping the old!) which is very much needed- it's pretty cramped *and* popular. i look forward to their growth.
I have been a huge fan of Tamla Motown since 1963 and when I visited the Motown Museum it was truly a wonderful experience.
I am lucky in that my wife is actually from Detroit.

Kept intact since 1972. Like walking in history. Amazing.
I'ma Detroit her and I love Motown. Visiting the museum is a lot of fun and brings back lots of memories.
If you haven't been here, you really should make the time to go. Learned lots and had a great time. Go with a friend and enjoy a walk down memory lane. Reasonably priced. $10.00 for seniors, $15.00 regular.
Small museum but worth the time! Get there early if you want to see it right away. I got there before they opened and they were booked until noon by the time I got to the ticket counter.
What a fantastic gem. I scheduled a group tour for our holiday party (50) and they divided our group in two groups of 25. There's a ton of history packed into these two small bungalows, and the docent you get can make or break your experience. First you watch a movie documentary and it's mind boggling to know the Motown greats like Diana and Smokey lived on the same block. There's a lot of memorabilia and you're encouraged to sing as much as possible. I am amazed that many locals who grew up here have never been. It's a must have stop for out of towners.
Was unable to do the tour because it's sold out. I will buy tickets when I know I am visiting.
To stand where some of the greatest musicians of all time stood was amazing!
Me and my wife attended the motown museum and it was a wonderful experience the legends and original singers and the memories are great and the tour was amazing i absolutey love it
Thank you Berry for having the courage to start Motown Recording Studios... and Thank You Detroit for nurturing musicians and fostering an atmosphere for creativity...
