About the Outdoor Adventure Center
Located on Detroit’s riverfront in the historic former Globe Building, with the Dequindre Cut Greenway running through its front yard, the Outdoor Adventure Center gives you a taste of Michigan’s great outdoors in the heart of the city.
Experience exciting outdoor adventures with hands-on activities, exhibits and simulators — walk behind and touch a waterfall, step into a fishing boat and reel in a big fish, hit the trail on a mountain bike or snowmobile, and much more. At the OAC, you’ll learn about how the DNR manages forests, wildlife and fish as you climb the roots and explore the canopy of a bur oak tree, hop aboard our airplane, and see what’s swimming in the aquarium.
Visit the Outdoor Adventure Center and discover all there is to explore in Michigan's spectacular outdoors, parks, public lands and waters that are yours to enjoy.
