2 days in Grand Rapids Itinerary

The second largest city in Michigan and a hub of furniture manufacturing, Grand Rapids bears the nickname "Furniture City." However, the destination's original name came from the rapids of the Grand River that once ran through the downtown area.

Start off your visit on the 10th (Sun): test your team's savvy at popular escape rooms, then learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at John Ball Zoo, and then see the interesting displays at Gilmore Car Museum. Keep things going the next day: see the interesting displays at Gerald R. Ford Museum, then admire the natural beauty at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, and then kick back and relax at Holland State Park Beach.
