By car
Similar to Ann Arbor, the best way to arrive in Ypsilanti is by car. Ypsilanti is bounded by I-94 (between Detroit and Jackson) on the south and US-23 (between Flint and Toledo, Ohio) on the west. From Toledo and points south, take US-23 north; from Detroit, the airport, and points east, take I-94 west (or I-96 west to M-14 west); from Chicago and points west, take I-94 east; from the north, take US-23 south.
By plane
The nearest major airport is Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), about 20 minutes away.

The Ypsilanti water tower has the curious distinction of having won Cabinet magazine's competition to find the "world's most phallic building." With apologies to squeamish readers: it's 147 feet high, has a base diameter of 85 feet, and is known locally as "the brick dick." A common myth facetiously held at nearby Eastern Michigan University is that the tower will fall once a virgin student graduates from the school.

The Ride is a family fun and fitness event and a fundraiser for Dawn Farm that is held on the last Sunday of April every year. There are bike rides from 10K to 100K and 5k/10K runs/walks, tours of the farm and animals, breakfast snacks and a "Recovery Celebration" lunch. The event is supported by Team MANA and has been endorsed annually by the Michigan Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sports. The Ride for Recovery provides an opportunity to support Dawn Farm’s effective, compassionate, hope-filled care for people with alcohol/other drug addiction. See http://www.dawnfarm.org/event/7th-annual-ride-recovery/.
*When people want to have a great time while supporting a great cause, they head to the annual Dawn Farm Jamboree. The Jamboree is a family event with free admission and free activities for all ages, including great live music by a popular band, hayrides, animals to pet, pony rides, lots of games and activities for children, tours of the working farm, and live and silent auctions and a gift table with a variety of donated goods and services, many at bargain prices! Funds raised from the sales and auctions help provide compassionate, hope-filled addiction treatment services for individuals who need help and lack resources. Held annually on the Sunday following Labor Day, from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
*A local historical museum featuring a large collection of antiques and historical documents.
*Museum that houses many pieces of Firefighting equipment and vehicles, promotes fire safety and prevention.
*A varied collection of automobiles as well as the last Hudson dealership in the United States.
*Held in late July. ~50 of the local, Michigan, breweries offer hundreds of beers for tasting in a two day event. 15 samples included in the ticket price.

Great selection of beer and bar food, accompanied by the occasional rumble of Amtrak trains (hence the name).
* Another Depot Town favorite, probably best known for their pizza.
* Old style drive-in where food is served to you in your car. Open year round.
* Located in the heart of downtown Ypsi, the Wolverine is a favorite amongst EMU students as well as locals. This is the kind of small town diner where the regulars don't even have to place an order.
* This tiny diner is known for having one of the best burgers in town.
* Another old-fashioned drive-in, known for their chili dogs and homemade root beer (actually that's about all that's on the non-existent menu).
* simple honest food; sandwiches, soups, salads, coffee, tea, and an amazing breakfast menu that goes until 2pm (the breakfast burrito and the french toast are local favorites)
*Home-made root beer, foot-long hot dogs, juicy burgers, and drive up service. It can look closed sometimes, but there is a friendly neon sign to indicate otherwise.

The most pretentious coffee in Michigan. Large crowd of all types of hipsters, including college and locals. You'll be completely taken by the espresso drinks. Also they roast beans constantly through-out the week. Its pleasant to smell the coffee as its being roasted.

Tap room has been around since 1941, feeding and quenching the thirst of workers at the old bomber plant during the war. It is said that in order to do the wiring and other work in the small confines of the plane wings, the plant flew in small people that could crawl into the cramped spaces, and it is also said that Tap Room was their bar. Those who know this story affectionally call this "The Midget Bar". Is this just a "tall" tale? A visit to Tap Room might prove otherwise, as the original doorknobs for the front door and old restrooms were only 2 feet from the floor!
