Make learning fun
Check out John Ball Zoo and Aquarium, Meijer Gardens and Binder Zoo. Learn about a new culture: Take the short drive to Holland and learn all about the country for which this unique town is named. Take a tour: Just down the road is Kellogg's Cereal City USA, named the second best factory tour for kids on the planet by The Discovery Channel.
For even more excitement, Michigan's Adventure features two separate parks, one side dedicated to roller coasters, the other to equally exciting waterslides.
We believe kids learn best by doing, which is just what they get to do at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum. The Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium and the Van Andel Museum will leave both adults and children awed and entertained.
