Built for a prominent merchant in 1908, this prairie-style house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright is located in the elegant Heritage Hill district, where over 60 architectural styles are represented.
Docent Ken made the house come alive with his knowledge of the house. The introductory film is very informative, the house is beautifully restored and well worth the time to enjoy. It’s free! Thanks to Steelcase.

The Great Escape Room is a real-life room escape game based on the popular computer and mobile phone escape games. Escape games are the newest craze sweeping the nation - a fun, team-building, brain-busting experience! After entering a room with your team, the door is locked behind you. 60 minutes are on the clock! You must work together in order to find clues and solve puzzles that will lead you to escape the room. Perfect for: DATE NIGHT FAMILY FUN CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING SPORTS & YOUTH GROUPS *OPEN BY APPOINTMENT for private party groups of 10 or more during our closed hours
Had a great time - we "escaped" with about 30 seconds to spare...with a little help from the staff. Had a great time - the puzzles were clever and gave us all we could handle (and then some!).

Circle Theatre produces five main stage productions from May through September. The summer season consists of three musicals and two plays, performing more than sixty performances and playing to over 20,000 local theatre patrons each year. Circle Theatre also produces one Magic Circle production as a way to involve more young people in the experience of community theatre. Magic Circle focuses on the re-telling of classic stories, myths and fairytales for a modern, youthful audience. For the music & concert lovers, Circle Theatre produces a Summer Concert Series featuring many different genres from Big Band & Swing, to Acoustic, to Country, and even a tribute to the Beatles! This series showcases many of the area's best artists and gives patrons an opportunity to experience live performances in an up-close and personal setting.
I'm consistently blown away every time I attend a performance at Circle--whether it's a main stage show or a summer concert series performance. The box office staff is always so accommodating, and the performers are beyond talented. I'm never sorry I went! Couldn't recommend Circle enough. I take all of my out-of-town friends and family to shows all the time!

Locked 460 offers fun for friends, family, corporate team building, or a fun date night idea. An adventure game in which groups of players are locked for sixty minutes in a themed room and use elements within to solve a series of puzzles attempting to escape. Our three differently themed rooms include an Old West Saloon (circa 1883), a Criminal's Hideout (circa 1983), and a Cold War era auto garage.
We did Apartment 460, family of 4. Really enjoyed our experience, Game Master Lucy was very helpful, patient and attentive to us!! Whole family enjoyed this experience. Will come again!!

The Ruse offers a new form of high-energy active entertainment. Our goal is to engage our guests in interactive fun by building aesthetically immersive worlds that tell a story. The premise is this: Your team will race against the clock (60 minutes) to "escape" the room by solving engaging puzzles and challenges that promote creative thinking, teamwork, and communication.
What a blast!!! Would recommend The Trophy Room to all those who love adventures, puzzles and team activities!!

Explore the life and times of Gerald R. Ford, Michigan's only President. Here documents, artifacts, photographs, and videos combine to tell the dramatic story of the Ford Presidency in the mid-1970s. Museum galleries depict Gerald Ford's rise from a humble youth to Eagle Scout, star football player, World War II naval officer, and U.S. congressman, and the unique way by which he became Vice President and President. Meet the issues of the day - the energy crisis, the Nixon pardon, Vietnamese refugees, and learn about the Bicentennial. Your visit will include a stop in the life-sized Oval Office and Cabinet Room. See for yourself how President Ford shaped our world.
When in Grand Rapids for a conference, I met up with family who live in Michigan and we went to the Gerald Ford Museum. The museum is laid out very nicely - a walk through his early years, leading up to his presidency and death - with photos, videos and many artifacts. I especially enjoyed the special photography collection, seeing what his Oval Office in the White House looked like and the beautiful outdoor space (including President and Mrs Fords hillside graves). I learned a lot about Gerald Ford and his life. My only regret is that my husband (the history buff) wasn't with me to see it all. I hope to be able to come back again with him.

Children direct their own learning at this hands-on museum with both permanent and changing exhibits, where they play with slippery bubbles, study a live beehive, learn the magic of mirrors and more.
