Thrills Await at the Giant Slide

Getting There

• Public Transit

  If you're starting from downtown Detroit, head to the Detroit People Mover station at Times Square. Purchase a ticket and board the People Mover heading towards the Greektown station. Once you arrive at Greektown, exit the People Mover and make your way to the nearest bus stop. Board the DDOT bus #25 (Greenfield) at the bus stop located on Beaubien St. You will stay on the bus for about 20 minutes. After you reach the stop at E Jefferson Ave and Mack Ave, disembark. From here, it's about a 15-minute walk. Head east on E Jefferson Ave until you reach the Belle Isle Bridge. Cross the bridge to Belle Isle Park. Once you enter the park, follow the signs to the Giant Slide, which is located at 7000 Inselruhe Ave.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer cycling, rent a bike from one of the local bike-sharing services available in downtown Detroit. Head east on E Jefferson Ave towards Belle Isle. Continue cycling along the waterfront until you reach the Belle Isle Bridge. Cross the bridge and enter Belle Isle Park. Once inside, follow the signs to the Giant Slide located at 7000 Inselruhe Ave. The ride should take around 30 minutes depending on your cycling speed.

• Walking

  If you’re feeling adventurous and want to walk from downtown Detroit, start at the Detroit Riverwalk. Make your way towards the Belle Isle Bridge, which is about a 2-mile walk. Cross the Belle Isle Bridge into Belle Isle Park. Once inside the park, follow the signs directing you to the Giant Slide at 7000 Inselruhe Ave. This walk will take approximately 45 minutes to an hour, so wear comfortable shoes!
