Scouting Programs
The scouting tradition emphasizes a love of nature, an appreciation of the arts, and a commitment to the good stewardship of the environment. Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park shares these values. Therefore, we are pleased to support the Girl and Boy Scouts of America through discounted admission rates and special programs.
All scout troops, packs and dens may enjoy our lowest admission rate: $3 per scout and scout leader, and $7 per additional adult. This rate is good throughout the year, and includes admission to all areas and exhibitions. Troups must pre-register to receive the special Scout Troup rate.
To register your Girl Scout troop, contact Julie Francke at jfrancke@meijergardens.org or 616-975-3145.
To register your Boy Scout troop, contact Suzie Doten at sdoten@meijergardens.org or 616-974-5239.
Girl Scout Programming includes:
