An impromptu trip to Grand Rapids
We heard the TOYS! Exhibit was extended until September so we just had to check it out! That billboard of Pikachu and Spiderman on 31 has piqued my kids’ interest every time we passed it. I kept telling them it was a museum where they just displayed the toys and they couldn’t actually play with them, but they finally convinced me that they just wanted to look.
We had never been to the GRPM and I assumed it was mostly an adult “look but don’t touch” museum so I was hesitant to bring 3 little kids myself…. but I’m so glad I took a chance!
There are 3 floors of exhibits, Carousel ($1), Planetarium ($4 more) and Café. We only purchased museum tickets since I had no idea how long we would stay. We arrived at the museum at 1 PM and didn’t leave until they closed at 5 PM! There’s so much to see, touch, and learn, we could’ve stayed even longer.
On September 8, 2019 the toys will be going back in the toy-box and the exhibit will close at the end of the day so if you want to go, go now! It was supposed to close August 16 so we are living on borrowed time here. 🙂
