Home » Michigan » Michigan Vacations - Week Long Itinerary » Day FourSpend your morning in Grand Rapids at Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, 1000 East Beltline. The 125-acre gardens and sculpture park feature outside gardens, seasonal greenhouse displays, the five-story glass enclosed Lena Meijer Conservatory with tropical plants, a 24-foot-tall Leonardo da Vinci horse sculpture by Nina Akamu, a Michigan Farm Garden with a replica of an 1880s farmhouse, and a 30-acre outdoor sculpture park. The latest addition of the Lena Meijer Children's Garden is a family-friendly garden for kids of all ages featuring a Kid-Sense Garden, Great Lakes Garden, Story-Telling Garden, Wooded Wetlands, Rock Quarry, Log Cabin, Tree House Village, Sculpture Walk, Labyrinth and Butterfly Maze. Be sure to take the guided tram tour of the sculpture park and allow plenty of time for any kids playing with you to enjoy the children's park. You might even want to bring a dry change of clothes, as they might get soaked in the Great Lakes Garden.
When you are finished at the garden and sculpture park, head north to Traverse City. The trip will take about two and a half hours. Get settled in and enjoy a walk on the beach in the evening.
