Grand Rapids Public Museum, Grand Rapids

We spent the entire day on a Sunday with our 4 kids (3-10) and my teenage sister. There was something for everyone! The kids had tons to do and we enjoyed it too. We ate there in the little cafe and it wasn't too pricey and the food was good. We stayed for the last planetarium show and it was awesome. It was a last minute trip we pulled together, but we were so glad we did. 😊

I would strongly encourage everybody to attend the museum! First off, if you're a Kent County resident or a college student (and bring your ID), you can get in for a very very low price, or maybe even for free. There's a lot of interactive activities for the kids, and lots of cool places and facts to learn. They also have cool limited-time exhibitions that are often included with the general admission ticket. Support your local museum!!

Loved the story time with the old Roaring 20's Organ music and sound effects today! The organ player was awsome (sorry, I cannot recall his name, but know he has only been playing this organ for 5 years). He was great!!!! Loved learning about all the organ could do. It made the day extra special for our mom.

Decent museum that is quite a bit bigger in the inside than it seems. There is a nice variety of exhibits, and a lot of information on the history of Grand Rapids. Don't come expecting tons of dinosaur bones however, and all the exhibits are pretty small. Good for kids though with plenty if interactive areas. The planetarium is also amazing and a definite must see, it is probably one of the main attractions.

Attended a wedding here. Wonderful location and venue. Food and service were excellent. Displays were immaculate and stimulating. Entertainment for the entire family.
