Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park
I would like to start by stating that I absolutely love this park! It was a random decision that I made to go explore this place suggested by my mother and so we went together. I remember one of the first things that I told her as we were going inside to purchase our tickets was that I couldn’t believe how there were plants and flowers everywhere we stepped foot! I can’t imagine the amount of work it takes to be caring for all of these plants.
Bellow, I will include photos, map of the garden, and hours and rates. In a future visit, I will take my DSLR camera and record videos and take more photos.
Here are their daily hours and rates for each age groups (visit their website for any updates):

I wasn’t aware of how big this garden was and so we didn’t fully explore it. Make sure to take lots of water with you and snacks.
Here are some of the photos that I have taken:
