Unusual Attractions in Ann Arbor You Just Have to See to Believe!

Planning a trip to Ann Arbor, Michigan?

Are you looking for something fun and maybe unusual to do in Ann Arbor or around town?

Do you love to discover and try new things?

There’s plenty to do and see in Ann Arbor for all types of thrill seekers! Here’s a few unusual attractions on our list that maybe you’ve never done before:

1. Fairy Doors - Ann Arbor is home to a curious collection of miniature doors that appear all around town. These tiny doors have a fan following and new ones mysteriously pop up from time to time. You can find most fairy doors inside local shops and galleries. The doors have a whimsical touch of magic that you’re sure to fall in love with!
2. Graffiti Alley - Tucked off of East Liberty Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is an alley covered in graffiti. The space was originally painted in 1999 as an original work by artist Katherine Cost titled “Infinite Possibilities” but was painted over a few years later. The alley remains a unique place for artists and has continued to evolve as new artists leave their mark.
3. Wave Field – The pattern mimics the mathematical sine waves designed by artist Maya Lin. The crisscrossing rows of verdant berms outside of the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building (FXB) were built using the simplest landscaping tool: dirt. 
4. Hell, Michigan - There isn’t much to see in Hell outside of the many joking signs. However, the downtown general store offers unusual gifts and knickknacks bearing the town’s name for a fun souvenir.  You can also become “Mayor of Hell” for one day, receiving a key to the city for just $100.
