Tips from locals
There is a Tram ride that will take you around the gardens, or you have the option to explore by foot ($15 admission)
About two hour's drive over the border into Michigan, but well worth it! An incredible day trip in nice weather. Art, flowers, food, and more!
Frederik Meijer Gardens has a fair number of indoor and rain-friendly activities, including the butterfly gardens! If the forecast calls for rain all day this is one of the better options in our opinion. Take a look at the website and see if it is for you.
