8 days in Grand Rapids Itinerary

Get a sense of the local culture at Gerald R. Ford Museum and Meyer May House. South Haven Lighthouses and Grand Haven Lighthouse and Pier will appeal to history buffs. Change things up with these side-trips from Grand Rapids: Holland (Fishing Charters & Tours & Holland State Park Beach), Saugatuck (Amazwi Contemporary Art & Oval Beach) and Gilmore Car Museum (in Hickory Corners). There's still lots to do: take in nature's colorful creations at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, see the sky in a new way at Grand Rapids Public Museum, look for all kinds of wild species at Calvin Ecosystem Preserve & Native Gardens, and visit Heritage Hill Historic District.
