Guests who visit the park can spin the tops, which were inspired by the concept of the traditional Mexican toy.

The Motor City Car Crawl event will showcase new vehicles from metro Detroit area dealers throughout six downtown Detroit parks, including Campus Martius.
The Detroit Auto Dealers Association is teaming up with the Downtown Detroit Partnership to bring a new car-focused event to Detroit this summer.
New cars, trucks and SUVs will fill six parks in downtown Detroit, along with food trucks and entertainment, this August as the Motor City Car Crawl showcases vehicles from just about every brand and raises money for southeast Michigan charities.
In what could be the beginning of a new tradition, the MC3 will help charities make up for contributions they missed because of the COVID-19 cancelation of the North American International Auto Show’s annual event.
“It’s a great way to get people outside to see the parks, enjoy new vehicles, great restaurants and raise money for charities,” said NAIAS chairman Doug North.
