Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park Reviews

Make sure you have great walking shoes and a fully charged battery, for you'll have plenty of photo opps.

An amazing botanical garden. The new Japanese garden is beautiful and the sculptures are spectacular.

Amazing place to see a concert. Bring your own chair, food and non-alcoholic drinks!

Enjoying the day with my dear sweet wife. This place is awesome

A great place to walk,. The grounds are beautifully filled with a variety of plants and manicured, with interesting sculptures and flowers interspersed. Indoors there are changing exhibits, a gift shop, and cafe, membership is affordable.

A little pricey for us but well worth it. Class act!

Beautiful. A short trip from central Grand Rapids and definitely worth two to three hours of your time.

Awesome artwork and gardens! Must visit place when in Grand Rapids.

Very beautiful, and really big place my husband and I didn't even walk the whole thing and we were there for 3 hours. Hope to go again soon

Christmas magic! And The Womb sculpture display is amazing.

Absolutely excellent place to go. Not expensive, but expansive. Wonderful garden of all sorts of plants around exquisite sculptures of all types. There's really something for everyone there, check it out!

Lovely place to visit. Was attending a dental event

My kids love this place. So glad we have a membership to come back often.

Great fun for the kids. They love the great lakes water area and the tree house.

Atteneded an evening concert in the garden amphitheater. Beautiful back drop to listen to Three Dog Night, who did not disappoint with a soundtrack to my youth. Easy access to seating, rented chairs at $10 a piece (really recommend). Easy access to restrooms (clean) people flow and traffic were easily manageable. Parking free For those who imbibe in alcohol it was available as well as food. Go enjoy make memories !

A beautiful garden and greenhouse with sculptures woven into the plant and field life. One of my favorite places I ve visited in Michigan and would highly recommend to anyone stopping by Grand Rapids. Would have liked to spend more time there if it weren t for previous obligations so will have to come back as it s continuing to expand!

Gorgeous! So much bigger and better than I thought. Long lines for entry on weekends, though.

Beautiful flowers and shrubs, but the sculpture is fantastic

This was the most scenic place I've ever been, so many small worlds in one place, it's easy to get lost in beauty and although there are lots of people, it's also a very private place, always a spot to enjoy for yourself, no matter your mood or interest, there is something magical for you here. I will be returning many, many more times.

Anytime of the year, this is a place of peace and wonder. Great for kids and Adults alike. Food and Drink available.

Beautiful gardens. I love spending a few hours walking through the well designed paths and discovering new sculptures every time.

Amazing place you need all day long for see everything

Best I have seen. Japanese Garden is the best. Will go back!

Great place to bring kids, toddlers, and babies. The Children's garden is fun for adults, too!

Besides the Lena Meijer Children's Garden, there are greenhouses, a giant horse, a farm garden, and much more.

A family yearly membership is definitely worth it, if you plan to come here more than twice a season.

This is our 3rd year visiting the gardens on a regular basis. There is something for everyone to enjoy. We have a system worked out so I enjoy some "momma time" while my kids are active and learning new things: library, arid room and atrium, outside if weather permits, and the indoor kids' play area. We frequently conclude our visit with lunch in the cafe. The food does not disappoint!

Met David Cross at Frederick Meijer Gardens tonight..... Awesome Experience!!!!!

Always love coming here. The sculpture park is fascinating, and their Japanese garden is phenomenal

Love this place and would highly recommend it, but the admissions fee is too high! It's beginning to feel elitist there.

Under construction but they are still charging big money, it may be worth it when they finish?

(only downside: very hot day) But has wonderful indoor sections, too: art & greenhouses! The statues and the gardens outdoors continue on very far and wide! Absolutely lovely! The children s section is AMAZING for any kid! So many wonderful hands on, immersive experiences!

This work was based on growth in the womb. I want to spend a day & go to the library. I'll be back!

I've lost track of how many times I've performed there. They anticipate what an event will need, so that the event goes smoothly. Most venues could learn a great deal from them. The staff is always helpful, making my job so much easier.

Gorgeous in every way. A great place to visit. Top notch.

WOW that's all that can be said. If you have the chance do not pass it up!

What a fantastic place to visit. Lots of artwork, wildlife and all so very beautiful.

Not worth 15$ too much walking....on the positive its beautiful

Went to see the Corpse Flower just before and after it bloomed, truly amazing, the staff is well organized and all of the sites are truly wonderful!

Let me start off by saying that this place is truly the most amazing botanical garden that you'll ever go to! Everything about this place is amazing from the staff all of the way up to the plants! Everything is so big and beautiful. Every time I come here I just get lost in the beauty. If you really want a truly amazing experience come here! You will not regret it I promise!

Amazing time at the gardens. I may drive the 5 hours just to see it in the different seasons.

Love the beauty of creation. Shout out to our Creator who makes wonder and awe. Well presented and helpful staff that love their work.

The main entrance is under construction but is well marked. The Christmas tree exhibit was interesting. There is a train and Grand Rapids buildings exhibit which was enjoyable. Did not go outside as it was windy and cold.

Always a beautiful place! Volunteers are helpful, sweet, and passionate. My favorite place to kill a few hours:-)

Beautiful gardens and sculptures even when visiting before the trees and flowers bloom for the summer

Best sculpture park in West Michigan. Good conference venue as well.

Great atmosphere here during the butterfly exhibit. The kids love it. There was lots to do inside and out to keep them interested.

The gardens were very pretty and we went to see the butterflies. They were very beautiful but our favorite part was the cactus garden and flower garden before the butterflies. We spent more time in the cactus garden than with the butterflies but the butterflies were still awesome! When we went it was colder and there was construction so we did not go outside but we hope to return in the summer and explore the outside gardens!

The volunteer staff are friendly and helpful. There is often construction, which is good and bad. This is a great place for a quiet family outing.

Very good place to see few of the original art works.

Wonderful gardens and art! A joy as a solo or family trip.

Took my 4yo for the butterfly exhibit. It was wonderful! The staff was very knowledgeable and she just had the time of her life

This is a fun place to go if you like educational experiences, plants, art, nature and hiking, gardens, or music! There is a food court inside and a lot of parking.

The venue was terrible. You had to bring your own beach chairs which were very hard to get in and out of on the sloped hills. Then friends ( husband and wife )that came the husband had to rent a chair for handicapped and didn't know if he would be able to sit with his wife because they were told only if there was enough room. Very sad to say the least.
The opening act for Air Suppy was not terrible but pretty close. The only positive thing about the whole venue was Air Supply!

A great place for a date or day with the family. Being your walking shoes and a camera!

Having a family membership, or an annual pass is really the only way to enjoy all the Meijer Gardens have to offer considering all of the seasonal and special exhibits that are displayed throughout the year. Great family event. A trip to the gardens can
also make for a great date night , or even a place to go by oneself. No matter how many different times we ve been there we always seem to find something that we didn t notice before. The annual butterfly display is always a wonderful event for children as is the annual Christmas trees from around the world display. Great place to catch an intimate concert during their summer concert series also. Parking is relatively easy and there are minimal, if any stairs. There s a gift shop with a wide array of different things for almost anyone in need of a unique gift.

Seen the corpse flower in full bloom omg next blooming could be 20 yrs.

The Sculptures are supper the Artist leaves it up to you to decide what you want them to be. Even thou they had names.
Decorate the garden for Hollween. gardens are lite up in the even. They do the same Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Get place for children to go have a children garden and a Japanese garden.
You can see how the Meijer loves God! . The family wants to share their blessing and favor from God, with everyone, and have Sculptures from different ethnic group and Artist. Still expanding to show other gifted people
Talent

Awesome place to take kids! Great fun! Should definitely consider a membership because we will be back!

Beautiful place to go and explore and just enjoy the day.

Extremely well maintained and friendly staff. This is my favorite place to take Friends and family that like anything to do with the outdoors. If you like walking it s perfect and you ll get a good exercise. And if you re not into walking they have a shuttle that can take you around to the different exhibits. This place is a must if you re in the Grand Rapids area.

Very nice place. It was pretty busy when we went in the fall, but that's understandable with the leaves changing.

A lot of people like the Japanese garden but personally felt a bet bare. Definitely worth checking out though.

Has a lot of nice trails and the art installation are interesting stop points along the way.

We love being out in all the plants. It's fun to see the art work in the gardens. The kids love the play areas!
