The gardens have become a tourist attraction. Plenty to see and do. It is developed well beyond the simple concept of a conservation area. Wood walkways led you through wetlands and you can see a wide variety flowers and trees. Yes statues are everywhere along with play areas for children.

Pretty nice, very big to get around the garden and statue garden. I'm also liking the butterfly house, it is VERY hot though. I understand that it's for the butterflies, but there should be a warning sign for those who have a very hard time in heat. There wasn't a way to get on the busses when we needed them, we didn't know if there was a schedule or route they go or what. It should also be recommended to go to the Japanese garden when everything is in bloom, would probably make the experience more enjoyable. I appreciated the zen garden, but I didn't know if there was no rake for it. Not sure if there is supposed to be or not. I think you should have some signs up of Japanese ettiquette, if that's required. Learning about the stories of these plants would be more interesting. The art gallery had a lot of nice stuff, about the same size as the Devos Art Center exhibition in Marquette. However, some artist statements for sculptures might be nice, but could make the exhibition much longer?

WE VISITED MEIJER GARDEN YESTERDAY, APRIL3 2019 .I FELT THE COST WAS NOT FAIR. IN OUR GROUP WE HAD 2 SENIORS, 1 STUDENT & 1 ADULT. WE WALKED WAY TO FAR FROM THE PARKING LOT, WE WERE 5 MINS. LATE FOR THE TRAM TO VISIT THE SCULPTURES. THIS FEE SHOULD BE A LOT MORE REASONABLE. THIS TIME OF YEAR.

If you love art/sculptures and nature, go! They have tons of sculptures around the grounds, a children s area, and a Japanese Garden. Do some research and make sure you go when everything is in bloom.

I love the Meijer Gardens. It beautiful all year round. During the cold season they have the magnificent Christmas around the world. You get a glimpse of different parts of the world on how they celebrate Christmas. When spring comes through you can go and explore all about the butterflies. In the summer you explore all the sculpture of the garden including their famous horse and the Japanese garden they also have fun for the kids in the tree house. Much to explore.

Never been here before this visit and I only heard about this place a few different times. I however highly recommend anyone and everyone to see it at least once if given the chance. Lots of gorgeous plant life from many different areas of the planet. Not only that there's quite a bit of artwork to see. Big sculptures and smaller ones. All in all I am definitely going to visit again.

Can't believe we've lived here 10 years and only just got to this experience. Such a beautiful, serene place! It was a spontaneous Saturday trip and we caught a perfect day to stroll the grounds. Parking was easy, volunteer/staff were friendly and helpful, and while the parking lot appeared to be very full, the grounds are so spacious that we never felt crowded or rushed. The Japanese Garden lived up to the things we've heard about it (all great) and the sculpture collection was amazing to see. We are very fortunate to have this in our West Michigan community

I was pleasantly surprised at the content of this lovely place. During their construction mostly indoor greenhouses featuring different themes were available and they were fascinating. The carnivorous plants and arid plants were amazing!

Always have fun at the Gardens with the boys. Great sights to see and they are always bringing different attractions to keep it fresh. We love the annual traditions of the butterflies and the Christmas trees!

This is a lovely garden. We loved the Japanese garden area, but the rest is also stunning and welcoming. And the staff is all super friendly and enthusiastic about sharing their love and knowledge.

You can easily spend more than 3 hours exploring every sculpture and piece of the gardens here. If I lived closer, I would get a membership and go every weekend. It's so beautiful, peaceful...what a great place to go for a walk! I brought some sandwiches and snacks to eat for after my visit You can eat outside the park in designated picnic areas. If I'm going to Grand Rapids, I'm stopping by the Meijer Gardens.

Such a breathtaking place!! Have heard nothing but good things about this place...all true! Attended the Vince Gill concert...wow...not a bad seat in the amphitheater! Super acoustics! Work needed on the concessions wait though...25 minutes for a beer (not acceptable)..maybe take a trip to Soaring Eagle and check out their "portable bar carts"on the floor...AAA+!
