Review & FAQ:

As you pass through Sheldon Avenue in downtown Grand Rapids, you cannot miss the sounds of kids laughing from a beautifully renovated building that was built in 1916. Through the front wall made of glass, everyone passing by can see the fun the kids are having inside.

The Grand Rapids Children's Museum was designed for children between two and twelve as a hands-on interactive museum that offers a range of experiences. The museum promotes learning through play and encourages exploration. There are eighteen permanent exhibits, including a farm, a puppet stage, a treehouse and others.
