A nice mix of Art and displays inside and a lovely manicured variety of gardens and Exhibits outside. Family-friendly and thought-provoking. Be sure to see the butterfly exhibit when they are in season.

Been wanting to see this place for years. If we lived closer would be there at least once a month. So much to see. We only touched the surface.

Needed to get out of the house with a newborn. This was a nice stop during cool spring weather. Went during the butterfly exhibit. Admission for adults is pretty steep, but worth it. We were able to make a day of it. It's nice that it is such a large area - I was able to find a quiet spot to nurse, even though the gardens were really busy! We went right at opening during the butterfly exhibit - Would definitely suggest that, as when we were leaving, the line to get in was out to the parking lot. We didn't have a wait :)

Love coming here to check out the new exhibits, butterfly garden is always amazing, and just a general place for a really good time, seeing nature, getting up close to the exhibits, seeing giant sculptures. This place is always fun

That was a disgrace, to the political voice that was spoken last election. Please leave politics out of my concerts.

Absolutely beautiful garden to visit on anyday. It has many different unique sculptures. A great place for photos. I saw that there was a wedding here as well.
The garden is large; I spent a good 2-2.5 hrs here exploring every part of it. There was also a scheduled tram that you could pay for to take you around the garden with a commentary.

I absolutely LOVE Fredrick Meijer Garden's! They keep this place so clean and never cease to create something new and exciting for the community to see! Both my Mom and Sister have worked here and loved the opportunities to see natural beauty. The hard work and dedication the staff puts into this place is very evident and brings out a lively atmosphere among everyone who walks in. Personally, I am an aspiring Wildlife Photographer and going here just encourages me to see the true beauty you can experience if you take the time to appreciate it. I love the inclusivity of different cultures plant and animal life as well. I highly recommend going when the butterfly exhibit is occuring. Insider Tip: wear bright colors and rub honey into your lotion which attracts the butterflies to land on you. A super fun experience Overall a great family place for the kids to explore creativity and the adults to create memories for years to come. Thanks Fredrick Meijer Garden's for all the timeless fun I've had with you

This is an amazing place for the whole family. We loved the butterfly exhibit in the spring. Early June is a great time to be out in the garden. There's so much to see. It's beautiful! And, we didn't even see one mosquito.

I really liked this place. It has a large nursery with incredible varieties of all kinds of plants. There is also a heated area with incredible exotic plants. In that same sector there is a variety of beautiful butterflies. Outdoors they have a very entertaining game space for kids and great sculptures.

WOW WAS I UNDER PREPARED for what I met when i got here. We went expecting a botanical garden like many other cities we have visited. Then all a sudden we realized we were in for MUCH more! What a great time. absolutely stunning. Catches and carries your attention the entire time. My phone was out only to take pictures. What a great time.

This is such a great place to visit! There is an outdoor part as well as many things to see inside. The outdoor park has a small playground among other things to observe. Inside, there is a butterfly exhibit and different things to see. It is highly decorated during the Christmas season and is very pretty.

Frederik Meijer Gardens is worth visiting if you come to Grand Rapids, Michigan and you enjoy either a Botanic Garden or a Sculpture Park. The place has several special attractions: An area that is heated all year round where plants from the tropics are nicely presented. I really like the orchids, in particular. There is a Japanese Garden that is very nice as well.

Very disappointed in the quality of the plantings in the green houses; dead plants, plants struggling to survive, overgrown plants. Not the quality or professionlism I was expecting.

This is a fantastic garden in the city of Grand Rapids.You can walk, enjoy the train ride and also sit in solitude. This place has to show lots of fabulous sculptures which we enjoyed during our train ride.If you are interested, before going there check online schedule for some on going exhibitions. Kids will surely enjoy this place. This property is well maintained with enough parking lots.We went with our friends and enjoyed.

Always enjoy walking through the sculpture park. Really likes the summer concert series this summer. Wish they had a sign up about not bringing in glass bottles because we had to walk all the way back to the car and then get in line again.

Would give negative stars if I could. We are members. We will not renew our membership.
Attened the Toto concert. Staff was harassing me for my chair height. Yet, everyone we're standing and my wife who is disabled and needs a wheelchair couldn't see the stage. The chairs they gave to anyone that had "illegal chairs were taller than my chair.
The stadium is poorly designed. The handicap seating is worthless.

Attended a concert where the venue was pretty nice. I think that they over sell the place because there is zero extra room. Also, bend over if you want a beer. $9.00!

Got younger children...show them the beauty of nature by walking the trails outside and seeing the different plant environments inside...enjoyed lunch inside...nice choices for young ones and adults are offered healthier selections to choose from...not a burger and fry....butterflies are beautiful in spring and Christmas is beautiful in the winter at Fredrick Meijer Gardens...

A small, intimate venue with diverse summer concert opportunities. Nationally to locally aclaimed performing artists set the stage in exceeding excellence. This year, Grand Rapids Ballet lowered the bar on the Tuesday night series typical performance excellence. Their "look at me on stage" approach lacked the skilled engagement and artistic excellence domenstrated by other local artists.

I went with a group to enjoy the Christmas trees from around the world. I enjoyed the exhibit and thought they did a good job getting people in fairly quickly.

The gardens are always a wonderful place to visit. They're currently expanding the visitor center, but it doesn't interfere with a visit. The sculptures change over time, so there's always something new to see. The Tea garden is lovely, but the tea house is only open about 6 days each year.
We'll continue to stop when in the area!

Santa .... Great place to take pics with Ole Saint Nic. You take your own photos, so no crazy pic packages. Plus they open it up after hours. Book early it fills fast.
