Saw Bliss upstairs. Fascinating environment and music
Not a lot to see in this abandoned theater / parking garage. You can get a couple good photos of the main room but theres nothing else to see. Access costs $5, payable to the receptionist (which is probably also what it costs to park there) and then you walk up to the main level for a ten minute look.
Amazing old theater that’s been converted to a parking garage!They offer tours apparently. It says it is closed on weekends (we were there on a Saturday) but some investigating led us to determine you can do a self guided tour for five dollars.You don’t learn the history but get to check out this cool spotAlso - this is where they filmed part of the movie 8 mile. The scenes where rabbit is in the rap battle
Five stars for the Pisano who leases the parking and tried to help me access the garage but knew what I was dealing with. One star for the building management who wouldn’t let me in.
The worlds most beautiful parking garage. An iconic example of urban decay.They charge $5 to enter and you have to sign a waver.
Eminem rapped there
Beautiful building
Rare Detroit gem and great for game day parking, tailgate with the best, friendly locals on the 3rd floor.
Has to be the coolest and most historical parking garage in the city hands down. Great place to tailgate on a rain day. Architecture from the old theater still very much apparent. I personally think its a great dishonor turning this into a parking garage but its better then it just sitting empty and as much as I hate the fact it is still pretty cool seeing all the cars parked in there as your looking back in time.
The most interesting parking structure I have every seen. Check out wiki on The Michigan Building to learn the fascinating history.
I am disgusted when I see this. A part od the once magnificent building is simply cut out and there is a multi storey parking inside. Where there was once a grand entrance to the lobby, there are now two driveways going in.
Only because of the musty smell of the lobby. Security guard is rude and old the building is the former Michigan Theatre beautiful memories and they had the most beautiful historic parking structure. I took my daughter to a meeting in the building. But after you pass the lobby the building holds office spaces.
Only been here one time and discovered it through some friends, recommend the visit to everyone. Amazing site going through alot of work.
I didnt stay long enough to give it an accurate rating.
Its rather about Michigan Theatre, which was located right next to Michigan Building. Its very sad place which shows that people do not care about their history and they just thing about money, a lot of money. The historic theatre was partly demolished, because workers at Michigan Building wanted parking spaces. I mean historic, beautifully decorated place. Today its devasted and I think it will never be back to its days of glory. Sad.
Ive been trying to park inside this building for quite some time and I succeeded on the day of the Ford Fireworks show. There were about 10 cars parked there, and only one other on the upper deck. I assume it is open whenever there is a big event, like a baseball game. Parking fee is $10,- and totally worth it. Its both sad and really beautiful (a bit like Detroit itself).
It would be stunning even without all the movies that it was used for. Simply a must in Detroit!
Really amazing place. Well worth the drive.
It’s amazing to see how history made an ugly impact on this building. It should be developed as one of Detroit’s attractions but it’s really just a parking lot now. Really disappointed.
It is very cool, but 5€ to look at a parking lot...
A convenient parking structure with friendly management and unusual views. Relatively close to Comerica Park, so they open it for parking during events (usually about $10). Its not every day that you get to park in an old theater.
All new look and hot fun the new D
It was cool but cold. We were there for a opening day party
Detroits most interesting parking garage! (Take that Z Garage)!
Worth checking out. Theatre roof is on level 3.
$5 to look at a parking lot? Detroit has officially been taken off of life support.
Coolest parking garage Ive ever been in
Awesome. I went to Detroit mainly for this building (and parking).
This is a part of the history of Detroit and Michigan. Ford started his line of vehicles here. Theres a plaque on the wall outside to tell u the history of the landmark. Plus some of 8 Mile (Eminem) was shot in there. My peeps have a VFX Company in there. If anyone is interested in great VFX material to promote & advance their business advertising to the next level, then plus utilize the great skills of Shadow Team VFX.
Awesome theater to see how people lived years ago.
My business visit met my expectations. However all throughout the halls of the building were cold cold cold.
Cool place to park, but tight for large vehicles
Coolest parking garage in the world.
It is exactly what youd expect. A grotesque fantasy of a ruin. Be aware that you have to pay $5/person for entrance, and also sign a waiver with the guard.
Old but worktable!
Beautiful interior IN A PARKING GARAGE!
They have nice office space.
Leons Conley island
Did not enter, since they charge now $5 admission.
Secure parking is in a cool, once glamorous, theatre.
Cool place history in a parking deck
Parking lot created out of old theater, kinda sad development showing moving history of Detroit.If you just wander in by foot, they will ask you for a bribe to let you in. We haggled it on 4$
Cool old theatre.
The beautiful auditorium is amazing to look at
Covered parking for tailgates....$15.
Really nices
Clean, safe building.
Awesome old place
Abandoned theatre is on my bucket list
Fantastic experience
Very impressive
Love this place.
Loved it!
Felt no heat in this building
AWESOMENESS
Great Detroit Architecture
Nice
Very impressing
Beautiful!!!
Sad
Really nice old historical place. You should definitely go to the top park deck and let the beauty of the old architecture sink in. I find it very impressive but at the same time a shame that the building has been neglected so much. Its really a shame that it has now come down so bad. The old theater now only serves as a park house. A historical place is being lost here.
Inside there is a parking lot that was used as the location for the movie only lovers survive because there are the remains of the old Michigan Theater .. Decidence with elegance ..
Should be seen.
