An attraction here in West Michigan has been named the best in the entire country.

The Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park is a place that is surprisingly vast. At least, that was my experience as a first-time visitor last year. Not only are there sculptures but, they have horticultural display gardens from just about every climate, an amphitheater for concerts, and a play area just for kids.

It's one of those experiences that feels well worth the visit. In fact, I didn't even get to see the entire park last time. That's how spacious it is.

While Meijer Gardens, along with all of the other competing sculpture gardens, were nominated by a panel of experts, the final vote of the top 10 was ultimately left to the public vote.

There are over 200 works permanently installed across Meijer Gardens' 30-acre campus. And, with an ever-revolving indoor exhibit as well, it's easy to see how they claimed those rankings.
