Good to know
By the numbers for this age in Detroit: 48 dated listings in the next 60 days; 32 of the 48 listings with a start time begin before noon — this age runs on mornings; the busiest single venue is Children's Library with 11 of them.
On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in Detroit's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.
Rainy-day fallback: most of this age's listings in Detroit run indoors at Children's Library — warm, dry, and built for short attention spans.
Keep exploring

Common questions
What's on in Detroit for toddlers right now?
The feed lists 48 dated listings for this age in the next 60 days, running Oct 7 to Nov 12 — the Coming up section is pulled straight from it.
Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?
It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.
What's free for toddlers in Detroit?
None of the current listings carries a free tag in the feed, so check each listing for its price — we don't mark anything free that the source doesn't.
