Hold an Event
Conventions
While you're in Grand Rapids, bring your troupes to Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park for a special event where you can rent the entire facility in the evening. Or consider us for a spouse tour and luncheon in one of our rooms overlooking the Gardens. We can even host your entire convention based on the size of your group. However many people you are looking to entertain, Meijer Gardens will be the highlight of the Convention.
