Each year, the community weighs in on what makes Grand Rapids great in our Best of Grand Rapids readers’ survey and we celebrate with a party. (This year, that party takes place on May 9. Find out how you can celebrate with us here.)
It all started last fall when thousands of “write-in” votes flooded in from across the region. After a vigorous first round, the votes were narrowed down to the top finalists. At the beginning of this year, the public voted and the results were clear: Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park emerged as the big winner, taking home an impressive six wins!
Several other institutions also won in multiple categories. Long Road Distillery earned accolades across the board, Mitten Brewing stood out with top honors for Best Pizza and Best Beer, and Max’s South Seas Hideaway and New Holland Brewing were each nominated in an impressive number of categories. Chef Jenna Arcidiacono was once again recognized as Best Chef, earning a win for her incredible culinary talents both individually, and one for Best Pasta at her restaurant, Amore Trattoria Italiana. Horrocks Market continued its tradition of excellence with wins in three categories. Other respected local institutions, such as Lake Michigan Credit Union and Warner, Norcross & Judd earned multiple wins. The list goes on…and on. Be sure to scroll down and check out the full list of honorees at the end of this article.
Now onto our big winner, Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, which dominated the 2025 Best of GR list. This iconic venue not only earned six prestigious awards but also marks its 30th anniversary this year— a fitting milestone for a place that has become a cultural cornerstone in our city. The recognition, spanning categories such as Best Date Night Venue, Best Museum, and Best Live Music Venue (and more), speaks to the institution’s continued commitment to excellence and its profound impact on Grand Rapids.
In an exclusive interview with Charles Burke, President & CEO of Frederik Meijer Gardens, Grand Rapids Magazine had the opportunity to sit down with him and dive into the Gardens’ journey. Burke has been at the helm of the Gardens since 2023, guiding the institution through growth, change, and countless community events. During his leadership, the Gardens has become even more of a vital part of the city’s fabric.
“We are thrilled to embark on our 30th year of creating unforgettable experiences for our community and visitors from around the world,” said Charles Burke, President & CEO of Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. “As a place where art, culture and nature come together, Meijer Gardens offers something truly special for everyone. We look forward to welcoming guests of all ages to discover the joy, beauty, and inspiration that await around every corner.”
With a clear vision of the future and a deep respect for the legacy of founders Frederik and Lena Meijer, Burke is looking forward to more exciting “world-class” developments at the Gardens. Stay “tuned” for an announcement in the area of food offerings that promise to enhance the visitor experience even further, and for new additions (one that involves ice cream!) to the one of the country’s largest interactive children’s gardens.
As Frederik Meijer Gardens celebrates its “120 Seasons” milestone, let’s dive into the six categories where it was recognized by voters for its exceptional contributions to Grand Rapids.
Best Date Night Venue— Romance Among Art and Nature
Frederik Meijer Gardens provides the ideal setting for an unforgettable date, whether you’re with someone new or celebrating an anniversary with your spouse. Wander through the vibrant gardens, bask in the peacefulness of the Richard & Helen DeVos Japanese Garden, or unwind in the lush tropical conservatory—each space encourages connection. Add to that a romantic dinner at the Café (some exciting new offerings are on the horizon in the food department) or a live performance at the outdoor amphitheater during the summer, and you’ve got all the elements for an outing that will leave lasting memories for years to come.
Best Date Night finalists: 20 Monroe Live, AllArtWorks Viewing Studio, BattleGR, Big Mini Putt Club, Dr. Grins, House Rules, Rapid River Stillhouse, Studio Park, The Aroma Labs, The Comedy Project, Thought Design Learning Studio, Turnstiles.

Best Museum finalists: Gerald R. Ford Museum, Grand Rapids Art Museum, Grand Rapids Public Museum.
Best Wedding Venue— A Picture-Perfect Setting
Whether hosting an extravagant celebration or an intimate ceremony, the Gardens provides an ideal setting to say, “I do.” With so much “eye candy” to choose from as a backdrop, the photos are sure to be spectacular!

Best Tourist Attraction— A Year-Round Destination

Best Tourist Attraction finalists: ArtPrize, BattleGR, Boulder Ridge Animal Park, John Ball Zoo.
Looking Ahead
The future of Frederik Meijer Gardens is as bright as ever, with a full calendar of exciting exhibits and events ahead. On view through Sept. 21 is BUSTED: Contemporary Sculpture Busts, featuring unexpected busts of famous historical figures, including some whimsical likenesses one might not expect. Other events and programs that make up the vibrant lineup of events this spring include the Naturalist Walk on May 1 and the Michigan All-State Bonsai Show May 10–11. For an extra special tranquil and unique cultural experience, the Japanese Teahouse will be open May 18 and June 22 from 1–4 p.m. Farm Family Weekend on June 7–8 and Fridays at the Farm on June 27 offer immersive experiences of a bucolic nature, and for youngest FMG attendees, the Lena Meijer Children’s Garden will host programs every Monday and Wednesday morning throughout June and July.
Finally, don’t miss the Great Gardens Gala presented by Northern Trust on May 16, celebrating the Gardens’ 30th anniversary. Here’s to many more seasons of beauty, inspiration, and continued recognition as one of the city’s “Best” venues, and a remarkable example of what makes Grand Rapids truly exceptional!
