The sculptures just keep getting better and better and it is delightful to walk around the entire grounds. Wonderful kids area and they have great food.

This was my second visit to the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park. I love the set up and you can walk at your own pace. I think it is one of the most peaceful places to go, especially by the waterfall. The sculptures are all so unique. Definitely worth a visit.

I want to go back as they have added new things. The walk is hard on me, but enjoy the inside-- saw the butterflies.

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.

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
