In Grand Rapids, there is always something to do whether you’re interested in arts, sports, entertainment, nightlife. Take a look at some of our favorite places to visit in the city of Grand Rapids.

In fact, you can even take a ride in the Grand Rapids Beer Tours party bus and they’ll drive you from one brewery to the next while you sample different beers. With great breweries also comes great food, so there’s plenty of options to curb your appetite, too.
Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park
If you ask the residents at Cascade Trails, they’ll tell you that the Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park is one of the best places in the whole city. There, guests can see 120 species of wild animals and grab a bite to eat at the restaurant, Boulder Bites.
Our Cascade Trails residents enjoyed a day at the zoo!
At the Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park, guests even have the opportunity to feed some of the animals, and that’s exactly what we did! Our residents had a great time learning all about the different animals they feed, including giraffes, camels, deer, prairie dogs, goats and even a snapping turtle.
