Who knew that glass could be so captivating?  The new Chihuly exhibit is delightful from start to finish, even causing my 2 kids to run from place to place exclaiming all the way.  The art has been carefully placed all through the Frederik Meijer Gardens grounds, allowing the elements of anticipation and discovery to delight while you take in the different shapes and forms.

My two kids had a blast describing all of the "light sabers" and "worms" that they saw outside, and the "flowers" and "bowls" in the tropical garden were equally amazing.

If you don't have a membership, plan to go for an extended period of time to discover all of the treasures tucked throughout.  If you do have a membership, be strategic with your visits.  3pm on a weekday is an excellent time to go and avoid traffic.

The Gardens are open late on Mondays and Tuesdays until 9pm through this exhibit.

Enjoy!
