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.

On the 19th (Sat), see the interesting displays at Gilmore Car Museum, take in nature's colorful creations at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, and then test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms. Get ready for a full day of sightseeing on the 20th (Sun): tour the pleasant surroundings at Holland State Park Beach, then see the interesting displays at Gerald R. Ford Museum, and then learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at John Ball Zoo.
