So much fun picking out your favorite sculpture. Interesting for all ages. First time there so we took the tram which was very helpful and informative, but moved way too slow. Great childrens' area! Kids are introduced to art in such a fun manner, with lots of fun things to do. We especially enjoyed the cactus conservatory, beautiful gift shop... More

The Meijer Gardens is a great place to visit. We normally go every summer. The outdoor art which features several huge pieces is my favorite part. More

A great place for kids and grown ups alike. Easy to get to and easy to get around this beautiful park. The sculptures are large in size and very interesting, although some may seem a little weird. Flowers are everywhere in the gardens along with many plant species and don't forget the butterfly's. One thing for sure, you won't miss... More

We've visited here several different times. We love wandering along the paths of the gardens and looking at the different sculptures. It's also fun to watch the kids play and explore in the children's section of the gardens. We also love exploring the indoor areas with the fun sculptures among the plants. We had our wedding reception here and our... More

This is a beautiful place for the entire family to spend the day! I love the butterflies, sculptures, and special exhibits that are always featured. The flowers and plants are always spectacular and it's a special place to take visitors who are from out of town. More
