Make an evening of it! ✨🌱

With extended hours, there’s time to follow the color, pause at the details and let CHIHULY at Meijer Gardens Presented by Macatawa Bank become part of your night out.

Explore an exhibition spanning more than 40 years of Dale Chihuly’s work—then linger a little longer among the art, gardens and sculpture.

We’re open late tonight, August 11, until 9 pm. Visit MeijerGardens.org to see our full Open Late schedule.

These hard working goats are wrapping up their time with us this week! 🐐

While we love all of our goat friends, we asked some of our horticulture staff if they have a favorite goat to work with.

Being open late on select nights means more time to wander, move, and take in the beauty around you. 🌿👟

Fina a path that fits your pace! Whether you’re looking for an easy stroll, a moderate route, or a longer walk through our gardens.

Lace up, head out, and make the most of an evening outdoors. We're open until 9 pm tonight, August 9.

Happy International Cat Day! 🐱

🐾 Meet Clifford & Rafa, our resident garden cats!

These two rescue cats have made Meijer Gardens home, where they spend their days napping in the greenhouses, exploring the Tassell–Wisner-Bottrall English Perennial Garden, and keeping our horticulture team company.

Their most important job? Supporting the people who care for our gardens every day. Whether it's offering a much-needed break from the computer, a friendly face during a busy workday, or simply reminding us to slow down, Clifford and Rafa have become a special part of life behind the scenes.

If you're lucky, you might spot one of them enjoying the gardens on their daily rounds. 🐈

Since the exhibition opened this spring, "Chartreuse Icicle Tower" has become one of the most photographed, shared and beloved works in CHIHULY at Meijer Gardens.

For many visitors, it is the first thing they seek out and the last thing they remember.

Now, our community has an opportunity to ensure it remains part of the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park experience forever. Visit the link below to learn how you can make an impact.

A permanent legacy for future generations.
