We were in the area for a football game and had time to kill before leaving town. I Googled indoor attractions in Grand Rapids (it was COLD outside) and the Grand Rapids Public Museum popped up. The tickets were $14/each and were a great deal. The museum has 3 floors and several engaging exhibits. Our favorites were the Old Town, the Lego room, the Detroit Lions ballgames and the fashion exhibit. We would definitely recommend visiting this museum!

The exhibits at the GR Public Museum seem to change fairly frequently, but there are a wide assortment of topics covered. Sharks made one of the main exhibits during my last visit, and the full scale models of some species were impressive. If you’re interested in the history of Grand Rapids there is plenty of information on that, and the scale model of the streets of a century ago is pretty cool. This museum can probably be comfortably explored in a couple of hours, but there’s a lot for kids to explore and enjoy here. It’s definitely a good option for families, but there’s probably a little something for everyone here.

We went during the heritage festival on a Saturday the biggest hastle was finding parking. There was a line to buy tickets but it went very fast, there were a ton of vendors for slime making, food, projects it was great my kids loved it and there were many things going on all 3 floors. We especially enjoyed the veterans display, the foreign exchange display and the moo zoo slime. We enjoyed all of the displays and extra information provided on this day every single vendor participating was so knowledgeable and happy to share their knowledge and happy to share their passion my kids were so involved in everything it was a great community and educational experience and I am glad my kids got to experience it.
