Auto travel and high fuel costs don’t often mix, but this Indiana travel writer says making the drive to discover West Michigan’s vibrant art scene, bar and restaurant hotspots, and the family activities along the lakeshore is worth the time and money.

As the city's Web site states, "Grand Rapids is serious about art," as confirmed by the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park and six downtown museums. The Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park (www.meijergardens.org) is 125 acres of landscape, which includes works by Auguste Rodin.
The city also offers a lively downtown restaurant and bar scene, a zoo, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, minor league baseball and a 16-mile biking/skating path.
