Ann Arbor is one of western Michigan's largest cities, home to the beautiful University of Michigan campus, which is home to America's largest football stadium, Michigan Stadium.

Many of the school's college sports teams are nationally-renowned, offering chances to see top regional football, basketball, and ice hockey games. Family-friendly museums on the college's campus and in the city's downtown include the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, the Ann Arbor Museum of Natural History, and the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum, which is located within a restored firehouse and features child-friendly interactive exhibits.

The city is known nationally as a cultural and liberal social activism hub, home to performing arts groups such as the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra, the Ann Arbor Civic Theatre, and the Ann Arbor Civic Ballet.

It is also a book lover's paradise, home to more book retailers and books sold per capita than any other American city. Annual special events include the nationally-recognized Ann Arbor Film Festival and the Ann Arbor Art Fair in July.
