In late 2012 the Department of Natural Resources began the redevelopment of Detroit's historic Globe Trading Co. building. Once renovations are complete the 120 year old structure will become an expansive interactive exhibition featuring many of the outdoor activities and attractions available in Michigan. Visitors will be able to do things such as learn how to kayak, pitch a tent, climb a rock wall or try their hand at archery.
The DNR Outdoor Adventure & Discovery Center will be open year-round once construction is completed in Summer 2014.
