Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park is a 158-acre botanical garden and sculpture park facility that was opened to the public in 1995 by Frederik Meijer, the CEO of the Meijer supermarket chain.

Since its opening, it has quickly become one of the most noted cultural parks in the American Midwest, named as one of the world’s top 30 must-see museums in 2009.

As the state’s second most-visited tourist attraction, the Grand Rapids park showcases a variety of impressive indoor and outdoor gardens and sculpture galleries, including the eight-acre Richard and Helen DeVos Japanese Garden, the Lena Meijer Children’s Garden, and the noted Iron Tree sculpture by legendary designer Ai Weiwei.

Summer concerts are held at the venue’s amphitheater, and seasonal exhibitions include the park’s Butterflies are Blooming free-flying exhibit and its Chrysanthemums and More! display.
