BOTW 2025 ARTS & ATTRACTIONS WINNERS

West Michigan has enough arts and attractions on offer to stuff even the biggest piñata. Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, now 30 years old, continues to draw visitors from all over the globe, including through its much-loved summer concert series. But there’s lots more to see and do at USA Today’s #1 American sculpture park.

Trade The Big Lebowski quotes with your friends as you try for a 300 at Clique Lanes, then soothe your sadness—or celebrate your victory—at Gun Lake Casino. Feed body and soul on a Taste of GR Food Tour, or/and with a wildly entertaining Michigan Drag Brunch.

There’s no better way to get your steps in while refreshing your spirit than on the trails at Blandford Nature Center. Centered once more, take in a flick at Celebration Cinema North—where you might be lucky enough to see the Odyssey trailer—or with a hugely entertaining show at the always reliable Grand Rapids Civic Theatre.
