Really varied, really neat
There were so many things in this museum we loved. Bats, overstuffed local wildlife dioramas (with sound effects!), Dark Side show, old Grand Rapids exhibit, clockwork toys and videos, ivory carvings... we only allotted two hours and it wasn't nearly enough (and we are Type AA people).

Nice museum
Was from out of town and the security guard at the Ford Museum recommended this because their museum was still closed due to Covid. I was glad I went over there because they have a vintage Spillman carousel I got to see which was currently being restored. I also liked the old time street with the shops. The rest of the museum is mostly about local history.
