East Grand Rapids History Room: what do users think?
Candice Fleszar-Smith: Good place to learn local history of East Grand Rapids, which was a very popular resort area. Located inside EGR library, it holds treasures from bygone days, including pictures and info from Ramona Amusement Park and Poisson Family excursion steamboats. Items are obtained via auctions, estate sales, antique dealers, and private donations. If you love history, check out #DiscoveryMichigan tours and experiences!

samantha dubay: I love this museum! This was the first time I took my child. She had so much fun. If you visit Grand Rapids, this is a must! They have a Planetarium and also a restored, vintage carousel (reserve a time to ride, for free, when you get your tickets) I particularly love the "Vintage streets of yesterday" section where it looks Iike you are walking along a victotian era street at night. Parking is in a garage structure on the same street. It's $22 for the day.

Sébastien Delattre: Un musée municipal, ça vaut vraiment la peine ? Assurément ! Ne passez pas à côté de celui ci, des collections très éclectiques, des momies aux esturgeons ! Particulièrement bien réalisée, la ruelle qui vous embarque un siècle plus tôt dans l'ancien Grand Rapid. Des façades et des intérieurs de magasins, de petits artisans. Superbe !

Grand Rapids Model Railroad Historical Society: what do users think?
Audra Marie: People reviewing must not have checked the hours!I didn’t realize this place existed as a museum until I went for a walk this Tuesday evening around 6:30pm!Someone was going in and my partner asked him what the building was and we got a full tour!They’re open 7pm on tuesdays and run the trains on the last Tuesday of the month!This place is a super cool hidden gem!
Dj H: Unfortunately, this museum isn't ever open when I am around.
John Buckley: Great people. Superb model railroad.
David Vinci: Nice layout
kaden douma: Amazing layout. Great people
Dennis: Don't go out of your way.
Lisa Klenk: This unassuming building hides a really, really detailed model railway system. Definitely a labor of love.
Rich Hays: Had never been here before. Walked in and was greated, and treated, like I was an old friend. My son and I were blown away on how large the set up is. Very impressed with how we were treated and showed around. When I am allowed to give ten stars I will!
JAY JUDANE: Its ok i cant remember if I came here and did I like it
Philip Brown: A great stop for kids and adults. The detail is really good on the routes, and while some of the areas are unfinished in terms of landscaping, you can stop in again and see some progress.
The Shirtless Mystic: Just an empty building. It seems
Tim Scott: Good place for families to come and visit.
Cameron Nygaard: Quite a fine place I'd say.
Joshua Vissers: The guys running this place are friendly and knowledgeable. The model is really cool, too! But just a heads up, they only actually run the trains on the 4 and 5 Tuesdays of the month. The rest of the time they're building.
Michael Leonard: Got to visit this during one of their open houses. Pretty neat model and is a continuing work in progress. The members were friendly and loved answering any questions. Don't be thrown off by the boarded up windows - I think that's just to limit the sun light inside.
Neil Carlson: Wonderful place for kids and adults. These are not just toys--they are preserving the complex skills of scheduling, dispatching, signaling, and more. Must see!

Grand Rapids African American Museum & Archives (graama): what do users think?
Adam Brehob: It is much smaller than I thought it would be which was slightly disappointing, but the guy working there was very enthusiastic and informative about all the items on display. I hope to see it in the future when it is in it's full glory! Please do support the place if you can for now.

John True: But it's going to be get much better when they can move into their new space, I'm sure!Right now it's very small and hard to miss. Even with Google I sent a full circle passing it once from my parking garage :PBut there is a lot of heart and care about information here and research here! If you are in the area and have a moment you should go.He did not tell me who he read but the man working there seemed a great person and very easy to talk to.I'm only giving 3 starts because it is small and easy to miss, but I think it will be amazing in its new digs! They are still ironing things out so it will be awhile before this happens, but I wish them the best!
Jose Mejias: It was an interesting experience.
TRIPPPLEZ: The Children's Books! My Fav Part IS FOR THE KIDS OF THE FUTURE!!
Liesa Swejkoski: Close to parking garage which is a plus for me. Short walk. Small venue. Friendly docents. I learned a lot. I was hoping for more art by local African- American artists. Most was put away for the Henrietta Lacks display. She's my hero.
David Brown: This isn't a Museum, it's literally a room, please don't pay for parking, you'll waste two dollars or less, leave car running glimpse and come out.
Delma Washington: Like the quilt on lynching. Beautiful and delicate piece with a lot of thought and research put in it. The many people who have lost their lives what a tribute to them!
Alyssa Barber: This museum is overflowing with stories, artwork, artifacts, etc. I am excited to see them in a bigger space. Shoutout to George for being awesome and sharing a little bit of history and his journey with us during our visit.
a s: Similar review to others, a great place to visit with lots of information, with opportunity to buy original artworks. The space is small, but I had a nice conversation with George, a volunteer who mentioned a larger premises is being scoped out, which would hopfully give them the opportunity to also display their artifacts which are in storage. Some good local history and stories too
T B: Traveled from out of state to visit. I checked the website to confirm days/hours of business, and called the telephone number listed on the website to reconfirm. However, no one answers the phone, and when it goes to voicemail, the mailbox is full.****THANK U for the response. On my way to the airport, i had the opportunity to stop by for a quick visit. Very nice museum.
Sarah Hampton: I really like this place. So much history detailing the accomplishments of African Americans to this country, as well as the world.
Dawn Innes: Not much happening there
mike bolling: Very nice place just wish it was bigger
Lamont R Cole: This museum is a must see! Small in size, Large in knowledge!
alicia clarke: Wasn't much there to see
Patty Desrosiers: Very small not much on it. But had a great video on that we really enjoyed
