Great relaxing place to enjoy art and the gardens of different types. Butterflies bloom every spring and kids enjoy this always. Had a daddy daughter dance there was a beautiful setting and night full of memories. Also have attended a wedding there that was beautifully put together with their staff helping make it a special day for everyone who attended.
Well manicured gardens with a neat variety of plants. Picturesque views. Children may grow bored here but adults with an interest in nature, outdoors, and gardening can easily spend hours here. The Japanese garden and succulent garden were especially cool.
Great place to bring my family and enjoy the beauty.
Suggest the Christmas Tree exhibit every holiday season. Not overcrowded and fantastic gardens and art.
You simply must experience the butterflies once, preferably on a sunny day when they are most active. Late spring through early fall, the Gardens are glorious and the sculptures are intriguing.
Great place to just be and spend the day. Have been multiple time and always have a great time.
It is no wonder that Frederik Meijer Gardens is listed in the top 5 botanical gardens in the U.S.! We are blessed to have this jewel in our own back yard. The Japanese Gardens are so beautiful and inviting.
Amazing place to take a date. Would go again and again.
I love Grand Rapids' art scene. Places like this teach our children to value art and it contributes to the creative culture that we have in this city. I love it here
There is always something new at Frederick Meijer to keep it interesting. I was a little disappointed with the reindeer event as there was only one and no interaction with the kids. Their Christmas around the world trees are beautiful as always. My favorite was an absolutely gorgeous display showcasing the Phillipines in the tropical conservatory. I wish they would serve some food items from around the world to go along with the displays.
Great place for a walk in the gardens, family friendly
It was fun it has great employees. It has great gardens but it's very easy to get lost
Stunning sculptures, beautiful gardens, and something for everyone. I would highly recommend setting aside at least half of a day to visit if you pass through Grand Rapids.
Peaceful and Inspiring for the Soul. 132 acres of amazingly crafted landscape filled with equally awesome sculptures and art of all kinds. Listed as one of the 10 most popular sculpture parks in the world.
If there is one place to visit in grand rapids, this would be it! My kids loved it.
Beautiful gardens, never disappoints! They have a nice area for the kids to play at as well.
My children loved this place. Definitely a family favorite
We absolutely love Frederick Meijer Gardens. The butterfly exhibit is our favorite, and we go many times while it's open. The membership is a great value for our family since we go so often. My boys also love the tree house, digging for fossils, and the boats.
Amazing place and such a gift to the West Michigan area.
Awesome venue. Very well maintained. Friendly staff and visitors. If you have never been there you are missing out on one of the area's great places!
This place is absolutely beautiful!!! I went here not expecting anything too huge, but was pleasantly surprised by everything the park has to offer. My friend and I stayed here for 7 hours and didnt make it all the way through because we wanted to enjoy every plant and every sculpture we came across
In spring is a magic place. They have an indoor garden with a lot species of butterflies. In December they have a beautiful Christmas trees exhibitions. Is a wonderful place for a date and hangout with friends.
This is a world class institution. There is truly something for everyone here. The gardens are an ideal destination year round.
A beautiful soothing walk through some beautiful floral displays. It's large, there's a nice variance of the displays and the art side of the establishment is very nice as well.
love it here.the butterflies r neat.like going to those when it is warm enough to walk outside though
Loved the butterflies and the sculpture park! Great for all ages.
We are visiting from Brazil and did not expect much from this place, but decided to give it a shot. What a pleasant surprise. Awesome childrens garden (we wish our grand daughter was here), nice Japanese Garden and the central Piazza has a wonderful sculpture. But the high moment wa the Sculpture Park. What a collection of great art work, even a Rodin. Grand Rapids is fortunate to have an organization that cares so much about art and making easily accessible to all. What a surprise!
My wife and I toured the gardens this week. The construction was not a bother. The staff was friendly and informative. We found the exhibits were pretty but oddly the carnivorous plants got our interest going the most. We did not appreciate the sculptures that much. Overall if your in GR put this on your bucket list.
Beautiful gardens with statues. Great childrens area.
Beautiful! The butterflies in bloom is occurring right now. Check ut our
The gardens are one of my favorite places in Grand Rapids. The koi pond is definitely a favorite of mine.
Such a fun experience! Great for all ages. We were visiting from out of town and this was the perfect way to enjoy an afternoon. So much beautiful art work and unique plants from all over the world.
Absolutely fantastic. Tram ride guide provided thorough narrative, especially about the many sculptures positioned throughout the gardens. Plus the price is very affordable. Highly recommended.
The Japanese garden area is outstanding! Be prepared to walk all around the pond. Magnificent landscape design in the oriental style. The conservatory was interesting, but they don't seem to do floral displays, so it wasn't "flashy". We took the tram tour around the entire gardens, and for me this was the best way to see the large sculpture garden.
Great place. A must see throughout the year as it is constantly changing.
Beautiful gardens and extremely interesting sculptures.
World class attraction not to be missed. A family favorite.
The butterfly house was amazing. I can't wait to go back when the weather gets warm and see the outside gardens
The Japanese garden alone was worth the price of admission.
The addition of the beautiful Japanese Garden (seen here in Fall) makes the Meijer Gardens a wonderful place to visit in all seasons.
Had lots of fun walking around looking at the sculptures outdoors. Some of the paths up to the artwork weren't completely cleared so had to look from a but back. Indoors was great. Enjoyed the feeling of Summer during the polar vortex.
It's a zoo without animals. If you're a tree hugger, you'll love it. I'm not and still liked it.
We take the kids there. Also really enjoy the summer concert series.
Great place to spend 1/2 a day and totally worth the money
Beautiful gardens! But not worth the price. Bring your wallet full of cash you'll need it! Everything was extra. Was surprised the bathrooms and parking were free!
Incredible place to spend a few hours with the family. Great nature preserve with lots of room to walk and play with kids and explore.
Awesome place to see a concert. A must-attend location for any musical event!!
Lovely place, I went during the week and it was very quiet and relaxing. Bring good walking shoes!
Come relax among acres of beautiful flora and fauna.
The Tropical Greenhouse is a delight with beautiful fish in the pond.
During our visit we saw the newly-established Japanese garden. The Meandering paths were delightful with a new surprise around every corner. We also enjoyed looking at the farmette during our trip to the gardens.
The people of Grand Rapids are fortunate to have a world-class Botanic Garden at their disposal. We shall return.
Enjoyed this year's Christmas Trees from across the world. Thank you.
Alot of construction going on but the gardens and butterflies where we'll worth it
Let's face it, this is where everyone in GR brings out of towners. Beautifully maintained, awesome welcoming atmosphere with fun fir everybody and plenty of room to stretch your legs because it's never overcrowded even if the lots pretty full.
So lovely there we bought a membership! The gardens and conservatory are beautiful, the sculpture amazing, and don't even get me started about the concert series. Well worth visiting.
Great place to get outside enjoy the scenery and learn at the same time.
Beautiful plants, sculptures, facility. Unique place to enjoy with your family and guests on the repeat. Love their outdoor concert venue too.
Seemingly endless things to do and see. A great place for kids. Especially the Great Lakes hands on pools. Lots of walking so it's a little difficult for anyone who has a hard time getting g around.
What a great place to check out Christmas trees from all off the world with your family.
Awesome place for people of all ages. We have had a membership for years since our kids were little and now take our grandkids
Awesome place for families or adults!! My kids are 6 and under and love this place!
Immaculate displays. Some can appear a bit too curated, but there's something for everyone who loves art and nature.
Had a great time! I will be going back in the spring to see all the plants! The butterflies were awesome!
