What to do and see in Grand Rapids, Michigan (MI): The Best Tours
The comforts of a friendly, small-town atmosphere combined with the pleasures of big city life make Grand Rapids an ideal choice for a fun getaway with a host of indoor and outdoor activities. Once known as the furniture capital of the world, the city has a reinvigorated downtown area and a thriving arts and cultural community. Its most popular attraction is the museum dedicated to native son Gerald R. Ford, 38th U.S. President, where interactive exhibits take you to the White House and the 1976 Republican National Convention. Wander through the state's largest tropical conservatory at the Frederik Meijer Gardens, a magical wonderland of gardens, woodlands and over 100 bronze statues by famous artists, including the 24-foot bronze horse designed by Leonardo da Vinci. More outdoor fun is a half-hour away at the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan. Golf lovers have plenty of places to hit the greens since Grand Rapids has more privately owned, daily-fee, public courses than any other U.S. city. Wind up your busy weekend with a cold beer at the Hair of the Frog Brewery or the Grand Rapids Brewing Company.

I had my 31st Birthday Party at BattleGR Tactical Games. Originally I booked it the weekend of my birthday but several people I invited including myself got COVID-19 so we had to reschedule. BattleGR was very accommodating and I finally got to follow through with the rescheduled party! The Tactical Laser Tag exceeded my expectations. I have played Laser Tag at several other establishments and enjoyed it so I thought I would try the setup at BattleGR, well worth it! Also I would like to note, the Laser Tag experience was COVID-19 friendly because they santize the equipment and if you're closer than 6 feet it's to difficult to shoot the sensor on the other person, plus you're wearing masks. So go play some Laser Tag! After Laser Tag, since I booked a party it included pizza, soda, and cupcakes in a party room. It was a great experience! I think I may make this an annual thing. I loved it! I highly recommend it. The safe was very welcoming, the facility was clean, well worth it. I absolutely will be back for Adult Night to do more Laser Tag.
