Interesting things to do in the United States

Detroit zoo has a brand new penguin exhibit. It's the largest in the country, and it's awesome!

We're in the Detroit area. Some seriously awesome suggestions! My worry with the museum ideas is that all the narration and descriptions are in English. I think for that same reason the Zoo and Cider Mills and maybe driving up to the dunes or Mackinaw or Traverse City could be good.
Any other ideas?

...Definitely take them golfing....It's like a religion to the Koreans....they will appreciate the open space and size, as Korea is small and open land is a premium....Plus, when you get to the course, there will be plenty of other Koreans there for them to talk to...lol...

Now for the real fun:
Since I used to live in Michigan and he is Korean, I would suggest for non-family activities, The Wild Mustang, BTs, the Silver Cricket on MI Ave, then cross the bridge and hit Jason's, Million $ Club. Bring lots of $1s and $20s

Ahh, the Michigan"Ballet"

Ideas?

take him shooting. South Korea has the most hardcore gun laws of any developed country.

GM Ren Center, since it will be fall... Cider Mill, Red Wings Game, Frankenmooth....

[CamaroFred]

Niagara Falls, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Willis is obscenely expensive. The Hancock is more reasonable.
Navy Pier, Shed Aquarium.

No Joke. They have been golfing every afternoon after work.

This was my first thought. He seemed open to it but since he served as a rifleman in their military he didn't seem too excited about it. I might still suggest it again because it is one of my favorite hobbies.

This sounds like the simple yet effective route. A Red Wings game would probably be a fun culture shock.

All these ideas are epic!
