Central Campus
Walk the Diag and Law Quadrangle, then choose the University of Michigan Museum of Art or Museum of Natural History rather than rushing both.
Campus stone, market mornings, museum galleries, arboretum hills, and river paths
Things to do in Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor carries a major university, two strong museum stops, a bookish downtown, Kerrytown's market district, and the Huron River within a compact city.
Kerrytown and Main Street
Pair the farmers market and food shops with downtown bookstores, galleries, theaters, and an unhurried lunch.
Nichols Arboretum
Follow wooded slopes and Huron River paths; hills, mud, winter footing, and seasonal bloom crowds change the walk.
Argo and Gallup
Paddle when liveries and conditions allow, or stay dry on riverside paths and paved B2B Trail segments.
A green middle to the weekend
Trade one museum hour for the Arb or the river
Nichols Arboretum reaches from campus slopes toward the Huron. Argo and Gallup offer flatter paved paths plus seasonal paddling. Choose one outdoor area well; crossing the city repeatedly adds little.
