Bayou Adventure and Joe Dumar's Fieldhouse
1120 West State Fair Avenue
Detroit, MI 48203
(313) 368-0055
map | website | comment

Louisiana native (and president of basketball operations for the Pistons) Joe Dumars has created an indoor theme park called Bayou Adventure, which offers loosely swamp-themed play areas, including a mini-golf course, a bungee trampoline, an elevated rope course and a climbing wall for you and your grandkids to wear yourselves out on. There's also a more traditional arcade and ticket redemption game area just in case. The park is attached to Joe Dumars' Fieldhouse, a large mixed-use sports facility (there's another basketball-only Fieldhouse on the State Fairgrounds in Detroit proper) providing a place for people to meet and play sports, with a wide variety of scheduled kids activities and innumerable teams and leagues for competitive play.
