We finally stopped in to check out the Children's Museum in Fennville and it was such a great time!…read moreMy kids would have stayed the entire day! We were there at least two hours and they didn't want to leave. This is a great place for kids to use their imaginations and creativity. So many cute exhibits for them to pretend play, learn about science, experiment, build, etc. My 5 year old loved the Vet station, he spent a ton of time there. The sensory play area is fun! My 8 yo loved the ping pong ball bike and the area with all the cushions to build. He also really loved the Snap Circuits they had. There is a ton to do! Really cute! It is nice that it wasn't too crowded, but they still had a decent group of kids. It looks like they have a party room too to host events. A great spot!

We spent two hours there and they were sad when we had to leave. Donation-level admission costs, I thought it was money well spent. It's one really giant room that packs the activity in - and I appreciated not having to worry about losing my kids in a sea of crowds with multiple levels and rooms. Friendly staff and well kept facilities.

I'm so glad we had the chance to stop in. The staff were so friendly and great with kids. The museum was very clean and organized. There are multiple buildings to check out and we didn't get to half of it! Would come back to check out more. The other bonus is that you can leave for lunch and come back if you are still wearing your wristband.

I was so impressed with this event, my daughter, husband and I spent several hours at museum with their planned activities. They had a scavenger hunt, story time, and several hands on activities for families to take part in . We did not have an opportunity to explore the museum in its entirety , but just this especially exhibit was enough for us to have a wonderful afternoon in Holland.

There are many exhibitions from desert to tropical to Japanese gardens as well as an interactive children's garden. There was also a CHIHULY exhibition which added to our experience at the gardens.

To start, I cannot believe I've never reviewed Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park having…read morebeen a member for many, many years and a regular visitor. It is sometimes hard to believe our "little town" has such a wonderful place to go to. Meijer Gardens is where we regularly take our walks. Whether on the Boardwalk, Shade trail, Japanese Gardens or the Sculpture Park, there is always an abundance of beauty to enjoy. Currently Meijer Gardens has a Chihuly Exhibition on display throughout the park. Chihuly is a glass sculpture who has created amazing pieces. Usually I've seen his work in museums. (Baker Museum in Naples has a fantastic display for example) It is amazing to see his work outdoors in the variety of settings available at Meijer Gardens. There is also a paid indoor exhibition that we have not seen. In addition to the various gardens and sculptures, Meijer Gardens also sponsors a Summer Concert Series in their outdoor venue. We have enjoyed dozens of concerts over the years. Thankful we have this treasure so nearby.

Only 90 reviews so far? That is surprising for a place this large and this well put together…read more The Gilmore Car Museum is much more than a single building filled with old cars. It is an entire campus with multiple buildings, historic-looking streets, a vintage diner, recreated service stations, and separate exhibits covering different manufacturers and periods of automotive history. There is a lot to see, and it would be easy to spend most of the day here without getting through everything. The quality of the environment is what really stands out. The buildings, signs, displays, and surrounding grounds all feel carefully planned and maintained. It has an almost Disneyland-level attention to detail, just without the rides. Instead of simply placing cars in rows, many of the vehicles are displayed in settings that help explain their history and make the experience more interesting. The collection itself is extensive, ranging from very early automobiles to unusual prototypes, luxury cars, and more familiar classics. The vehicles we saw were in excellent condition, and the exhibits included enough information to provide context without turning every stop into a long reading assignment. The staff members we encountered were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly interested in the museum. The entire property was also exceptionally clean and well maintained. Even people who are not serious car enthusiasts could appreciate the history, architecture, and effort that went into creating this place. For anyone interested in automobiles, it is absolutely worth going out of the way to visit.

As a muscle car fan, I especially enjoyed the collection of 1960's-era cars, including a Yenko Camaro; in high school I had a buddy who talked about Yenko Camaros all the time! If you're not there for a car show, just know that you'll be paying more for your ticket, even if you don't actually peruse the show. Check out the letter that Clyde (of "Bonnie & Clyde") wrote Henry Ford!

Staff inside is so friendly - and they even had a scavenger hunt (with prizes)! We meandered along in the exhibits. The Oval Office and cabinet room were very neat - with interesting tidbits on the sides. All in all a good visit. We only had an hour - so we had to race through - you probably want to leave 2 hours to really experience everything. Take pics and look later was the advice of the woman who sold us our tickets (and it was good advice!) I didn't know much about Gerald Ford - and even so - this was a fascinating visit. Truly interesting.
