Very impressed by their manufacturing video/experience. A bit loud so if you have sensitive ears you may want to put tissues in them. It's an all senses experience with an impressive model with CGI effects! The factory portion was also impressive, being able to see almost everything that goes into building and producing Ford trucks. If you want to see one of the biggest "green" roofs, this is the greatest. It's covered in something called sedum which collects water, has a place for migrating birds to live and nest and it also acts like insulation for the factory! This is a must-do if you are either going to the Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield village or just coming to Dearborn!

I used to work at Ford's (that's how employees call it). I even had to frequently go to the old Dearborn Assy plant when Mustang builds were done there. But the new (sustainable plant) was in the making and I never got to see it. Took my two younger kids so they could see the automotive process. Ordered tix (and the odd mandatory $9 parking pass) and then arrived early per the instructions. The parking location was also a bit strange since it seemed too far from the actual check in location in the Henry Ford museum. That said we road the bus to the plant and given a quick orientation to the 5 stations we would be visiting. Because we were about to bump into UAW lunch we were encouraged to go directly to the plant tour. They did, indeed, go to lunch during our walk around. Oh well. Let's face it the plant tour itself is hugely disappointing. You're on a overhead walkway trying to watch the action below. Railings, which you're not supposed to lean on further impede the view along with the many trusses, struts and mechanicals between you and the assembly line. I can't help but compare it to the Corvette Tour in Bowling Green KY - which, as of early Feb 2024, no longer exists. At Bowling Green you walked the floor and saw soooo much more. The Ford plant was a letdown in comparison. Stations 1 and 2 were movies with #2 the big standout. The Art of Manufacturing is something worthy of Epcot at Disney World. It mixes video with live animations robots, lasers, smells and wind effects. It was great, but at 9 minutes long it went by too fast. The #1 video was a 12 minute Ford and Rouge plant history. Station 3 is the upper deck where you can see the green "living roof" over the final assembly plant. Station 5 is a handful of historic Fords, a new Raptor and a new F-150 Lightning (electric) pickup. The entire event took us about 2 hours but I was explaining a lot to the kids. I'd allow 1.5 hrs for most people. Be aware that photos aren't allowed in most of the stations (really, no where but 3 and 5). As I said, #2 was great but the rest was lackluster. I will say the volunteers were great and welcoming but I can't really recommend the tour. $24 for adults, $18 for kids and $9 parking fee.

This was so fun. You got to see all the workers make the trucks and learn how these stuff were made. They put on a great show at the beginning, and shocked me. The tour is worth the money!

I was very interested in what seemed like a primo tour opportunity, but I left underwhelmed. The museum center has a bus ride to the factory (it seems you have to do it that way), and the dated bus and terrible roads can't help but make one think about urban decay. The tour itself opens with two movies, the first of which is a historical perspective with some interesting images but a shallow, hagiographic perspective, and the second an overly loud and snazzy series of pickup truck video that has no coherent message. Taking an elevator up to the top led to an observatory that was bizarre poorly positioned to get a view of the cityscape. By the time I finally made it to the factory floor overlook, I was surprised. Contradictions flowed vigorously; the initial movie emphasized the importance of the factory in creating an American middle class, but now we're told that most of the manufacturing isn't actually done here, just the final assembly. A quote in the observatory emphasized that Ford himself wanted his factory to be a model for others worldwide, so their insistence on not letting people take pictures was odd, though perhaps the Japanese auto industry visitors that joined us were business competitors. The factory floor was notable particularly for the locals working there, but it was hard to put together any clear picture of the manufacturing process, the supply chain, the occupational health factors. People were available to answer questions, but it didn't seem like a deep discussion. There are so many interesting issues here; when the museum talks about the transformational effect of the mass produced automobile, I certainly ponder the lifestyle that led me to come to a place like this. When I visited an abandoned mine in West Virginia whose signage spoke of its coal and coke being sent to the River Rouge plant, I felt the history. Here, I didn't get the feeling. Given the price of a tour, I think I could have expected to see a bit more.

We absolutely loved the Ford factory tour. The two videos were incredible. The first one gives a great overview of the history of Ford and the second goes into great detail about how cars are built. It was so cool to tour the actual factory and see a production line. This is a must see if you're visiting Detroit!

This was definitely the highlight of my visit to the greater Detroit area. We booked the factory tour online 2 weeks ahead of time and parking was included as an additional cost. When we arrived, we found a spot pretty close to the Welcome Center and made our way to the bus pickup location. If you arrive ahead of your time, they will try to get you included on an earlier tour. The ride to the factory seemed long but it was worth it. No pictures were allowed but the tour was amazing and well thought out. The video at the beginning was informative and kept everyone's attention. Production was halted for the day but we were still allowed to walk and see the production lines. It was really cool, so I can only imagine how much more we wouldn't have enjoyed it if we had seen some real action. I'd love to go again and highly recommend!

We are big nerds so seeing a manufacturing operation is right up our alley. This tour isn't cheap but it is worth it. You get on a bus for a 15 minute ride from the Henry Ford museum. The tour starts with a movie on the history of Ford and the Rouge Factory. The second was a high tech light and laser show explaining how the new F150 is assembled. Both were very good marketing pieces... After the movies you go up to the observation deck where a tour guide gives you an overview of the exterior of the plant below and the surrounding area (sure glad it was clear and sunny). The gent did a very nice job explaining the lay of the land and answering our questions. Finally you get to tour the final assembly of the pick-up from a catwalk above the manufacturing floor. It started a bit slow since they were on break but soon enough the assembly line was moving. Along the way there were guides who were more than willing to explain what we were seeing and to answer questions. You could stay as long as you like. We were glad to have gone on the first bus at 9:20am since it took about two hours and it left plenty of time to then tour the Henry Ford museum all afternoon.

My group of five purchased a package with the Ford Rouge Factory Tour. Whether you're a fan of cars or not, it's still pretty cool to learn about the history of Ford vehicles and watch employees assemble a Ford truck. The tour began with two short films in two different auditoriums. It was neat to hear and see how the vehicles have evolved. Immediately after the films, we were brought to the factory where hundreds, maybe more, employees were busy assembling a Ford truck. There was an assembly line and each employee was tasked with one job, whether that was installing a light, a door, etc. After the factory, we headed up to the observation deck where you can see stunning views of the complex as well as of Detroit. The final stop was the exhibit featuring vintage Ford cars. There were tour guides at every stop, ready and willing to answer questions and share their knowledge. The tour was informational. The only thing I would have liked is an interactive section, where we can pretend to assemble a car, for example. Nonetheless, our group which included two teenagers enjoyed the experience!

Drove down for the day to observe what all the hype was about. We purchased our tickets in the summer while touring the muppet exhibit. The beginning of the tour had a few hiccups. The outdoor bus stop area where they have signs posted that say tour starts here was inaccurate. We sat out in the cold for 20 minutes. As we sat, and waited we watched the bus drive right past us. The employees at the front informed us that they moved the bus pick up to inside the museum and on the side of the building. They moved our tour times from 12:20 to 1:00. After finally getting to the factory we discovered that 1 of the 2 films wasn't t operational. The tour otherwise was phenomenal. All the employees were overly happy and polite. The assembly line was a marvel to see. We love the museum so much that we decided that the 2 hour drive was worth seeing the factory. This tour was worth it. If you have the opportunity then you should definitely visit. This tour was very informational and historical. So much rich history that lays out the foundation of the American way. Recommend that if you buy your tickets in advance that you go to the ticket counter to confirm where pick up is since they clearly move it from time to time. The tour was a 5 star otherwise.

Great experience! I only got to visit the factory, the mini movie before the actual line tour was amazing! It kept you engage while teaching you the history of the brand and facility. They truly show you how they have become a lead in their field even during difficult times. Highly recommend! I wasn't able to make it to the museum or else I would've given it a five. I also got yelled at before the tour for taking pictures. So don't take pictures.. lol

Active Assembly Information

Ford Rouge Factory Tour is an experience housed within Ford Motor Company's Dearborn Truck Plant in partnership with The Henry Ford and the United Auto Workers union.

The Dearborn Truck Plant is a real working factory. As a result, there are many factors that can cause inconsistent active assembly hours. This includes vehicle demand, supply shortages, factory floor renovations and construction, and staffing considerations. The Dearborn Truck Plant does not build vehicles during daily breaks, shift changes, holidays and weekends.

Please note that The Henry Ford cannot control Ford Motor Company’s production schedule and cannot guarantee that guests will see the assembly line in full operation during their visit. The Henry Ford is also not able to refund tickets in the event that vehicles are not being actively assembled.

Regardless of whether vehicles are being actively assembled, guests will be able to view the Dearborn Truck Plant’s final assembly area via a fully accessible suspended walkway at all times. The final assembly area is only one part of Ford Rouge Factory Tour’s 5-part experience. All other parts of the tour remain unaffected.

The Dearborn Truck Plant will not be in active assembly during these dates in 2023, following the plant’s holiday and maintenance schedule. The dates include but aren’t limited to:

• September 2 – 4
• November 11
• November 23 – 26
• December 24, 2023 - January 7, 2024

In addition, active assembly is not available on Saturdays, effective August 1, 2023.
