If you are interested in taking a fun cooking class the Local Epicurean offers pasta-making classes. We took a ravioli class and it was a lot of fun. We learned how to make ravioli from scratch and were able to take the ravioli with us.
Robinette Cellars offers wine tasting, u-pick fruit farm and has an amazing bakery. The farm is located near the sculpture gardens. You can easily stop in for wine tasting or a snack enroute or after you leave the sculpture gardens.
The Frederik Meijer Gardens is the perfect place to enjoy an afternoon wandering among amazing sculptures.
Looking for a place to stay? Check out the J.W. Marriott Grand Rapids. The rooms have amazing views over the river and the city.

Wow, there are so many good restaurants to try. The hotel room looks cozy and it’s nice that you can have a great view of the city. I like visiting a place like this where the environment is just casual and not too fast-paced.

Love it. I have been once but I was young and I don’t remember a lot but I did love the lake. I want to go back soon and take my kids and really explore

For sure one of the destinations that is on out travel list. I wonder how cold it gets on the winter because winter break is coming, but maybe we just wait until next year. Love the horse sculpture and off course will follow your advise to travel hungry, because we love to eat yummy food.

I had no idea all the amazing things MIchigan had to offer – Grand Rapids specifically. I love the waterways between buildings. It looks so peaceful. I think taking a cooking class would be an awesome memory to make. I will definitely be adding Grand Rapids to my list of Cities to Visit for sure.

A room with a view over the city sounds awesome! My hubby and I just got back from a staycation, but maybe we should add Grand Rapids to our must-see list!

That horse statue is too cool! I have never been to Grand Rapids, but it looks like it is worth a stop!
