Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park
Just a hop, skip and a jump outside Grand Rapids sits Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.
This awesome destination features a tropical conservatory and sculpture park in an indoor/outdoor setting. The main components include a conservatory and outdoor sculpture park. So that's 139 acres built for exploration--- definitely enough to keep your energizer bunnies (aka kids) occupied for an entire day. This is one of most comprehensive collections of sculptures around.
There’s actually so much to see that the museum has created a tool that highlights various aspects of the gardens during different seasons! You can plan your perfect day, based on what they’re into. Choose from a self-guided tour that highlights art, plants--- or an adventure perfect for the family. There's even a list of hot spots for those who want to hit all the important sights.
Work from renown artists is located in different areas on the premises. Six sculptures created by Marshall Fredericks are on display. Many of his commissioned pieces can be found throughout the Detroit area including Belle Isle, the Henry Ford Estate and the Detroit Zoo.
Other features include a labyrinth, children’s garden, treehouse and butterfly maze. There’s also a zen garden, teahouse and even a series of waterfalls. Like I said, you’ll definitely find enough to keep you busy.
