Grand Rapids Public Museum: what do users think?
Kenny Greene: Went here with my daughter after her sister's cheer competition! They had a Lego exhibit with a lot of unique builds! Many other exhibits also.

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 !

Sean Brower: Had a very exciting day at the zoo. Everything was going great until suddenly our son had a medical emergency. Zoo staff was incredibly hopeful; immediately got us the help we needed. Unfortunately, we had to cut our day short. To our surprise, Zoo staff mailed us a little care package and wished us well.For better or worse, it was a day we will never forget. The staff's compassion will always be remembered as the highlight, in otherwise very tough day.
Sarah Kooienga: It's a beautiful zoo. Just wish the prices for children 3 and up was a little cheaper. 😬Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure Price for adult entry $16–20 …More

Michael Curtis: Lantern show is amazingVisited on Weekday Wait time Up to 10 min Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry $11–15 …More
Branden Mann: Everyone on the staff was friendly and very helpful. The whole place was very clean, even the restrooms. My singular complaint is that the card readers on the soda machines weren't working and I had no cash. And half of that is my fault. So actually this is only half a complaint, statistically insignificant. 5 stars all around. Not many places can keep the attention and interest of a 5, 10, 15, and 18-year-old and their 40-something parents, but JBZ did it! The admission discount for bridge card holders is also extremely generous, and helped us enjoy the day with much less of a financial burden. Thank you for an all-around great experience for our family!

Alida Wingard: This was my first Presidential museum and has made me excited to explore the others. A well laid out journey through the president’s life and the world’s history during his lifetime. We learned so much that we didn’t realize we didn’t know. We spent about 3 hours there today.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No Price for adult entry $11–15 …More

Sébastien Delattre: Ce n'est sans doute pas le plus connu des présidents pour les français et pourtant, il y a tant à découvrir dans ce lieu. La muséographie est très bien pensée comme les américains savent le faire, vous découvrirez tout de ce président et pourrez même entrer dans le bureau oval ou la salle des ministres ( reconstituées à l'échelle). Grand Rapid est une ville très bien entretenue avec 3-4 beaux musées à voir, très proches les uns des autres.
Mark Broadwell: Very very detailed and well done museum! We learned a lot!

James Larson: AWESOME! Everything about this museum exudes class. So much information. Great personnel working at the museum, easy to find, great location and very educational. Not the best gift shop but certainly adequate. The special guitar exhibit wasn't enough to pique my interest but I'm not the biggest fan of guitars.

Michael Cerqueira: Very interesting library to visit. Ford separated its library and museum, but here is the place you want to visit. Comprehensive exhibition and also a good discussion about watergate and the fact that he was not elected. Felt less brainwashed that other libraries across the country.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No Price for adult entry $6–10 …More
