Grand Rapids Public Museum

"I was afraid there wouldn't be enough for my grandkids, 2 and 4 years old, to do here, but after 3 hours, they begged to stay longer. The builder exhibit was a huge hit, and although the bug exhibit was a little scary for the 2 year old, there were parts that were fun for her, too. They also loved the habitat and animal exhibits. What a GR treasure!"

"Second time here. A fun museum for a low cost. Plenty of fun exhibits for young and old alike. Food selection a bit slim. Appears they are expanding due to outside construction. Will be intriguing to see how they evolve"

"Had a lot of fun with my kids. They had an elf scavenger hunt which kept the kids engaged in something. Also went to the planetarium and watched the Christmas special they had. Very cool. Highly recommend any show in the planetarium. The bug exhibit was very cool too."

"Loved walking around the museum and getting a self guided history lesson on all the unique things the building holds. I couldn't help but wonder what might could be added to the museum in the next 100 years. Where will the world be and how far will the world have gone by then, and if earth will still be the only planet we as humans reside on... or not....???"

"This spot is an absolute blast, offering an engaging journey into the rich history of Grand Rapids and Michigan. We got lost exploring the captivating bug exhibit, although I heard it's closing in February, so catch it while you can! The staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly and helpful upon our arrival. With three expansive levels to explore, be prepared for an abundance of fascinating exhibits. It's not just for kids – adults can have a great time here too. Definitely worth a visit!"
