I recommend that you visit the Public Museum of Grand Rapids.
I only caution you to not waste your money by purchasing a membership. I was told that membersip would cover admission to all special exhibits that come to the museum. I purchased a family membership when I was told the "Bodies" exhibit would be coming and my membership would grant me admission to that exhibit. That was sort of true. I, as a member, could see the exhibit if I paid an additional $45 for my family of five!
After contacting the membership office I was told the contract stated there "could" be a charge. It did not matter what I was told when I purchased. The employees at the admissions desk also admitted to me that they sold several memberships telling the patrons it would cover the bodies exhibit.
I got no refund for my membership fee but was told I could save $10 on next years membership. Thats a hoot!! Great deal!
Anyway. Go see the museum...once.
