A wide array of amenities, from a salon and spa to fitness classes. Several dining venues. Gorgeous living options.
Beacon Hill has numerous benefits for each of its residents. As an addition to this list, it’s also located in Grand Rapids—Michigan’s second-largest city.
Offering practically endless entertainment options, the city has many indoor activities for you to enjoy all winter long. As a result, you’ll remain warm and comfortable no matter what the outdoor temperature is.
Bowl the night (or day) away. If you’d like a change of pace from your Beacon Hill residence, don’t forget about bowling. Grand Rapids has a variety of bowling alleys to choose from too, including Clique Lanes, Northfield Lanes, and Wenger’s Bowl, to name a few.
Cheese please! If you like cheese, you have to visit The Cheese Lady at some point this winter. After all, it has more than 200 cheeses you can purchase! Without a doubt, you have to see this store for yourself.
Entertain your grandkids. During your next visit with your grandkids, consider taking them to HappyKids Indoor Playground and Kidz Indoor Playground. They’ll be able to play for hours on end, while you’ll sit back and witness their smiles and laughs. It’s a day everyone will treasure!
Enjoy a live performance (or two or more). If you’re a fan of performing arts, Grand Rapids is a perfect city for you. Why? Well, simply put, there are tons of options in the River City. Circle Theatre. DeVos Performance Hall. Forest Hills Fine Arts Center. Grand Rapids Civic Theatre. Peter Martin Wege Theatre. Needless to say, you won’t run out of ideas this winter!
Golf in the winter?! Yes, you can definitely golf in the winter…to a point, at least. First, you can practice your putting stroke at indoor miniature golf courses like the Big Mini Putt Club or Great Lakes Glow Golf. Or you may also work on every aspect of your golf game at an indoor golf simulator, such as Gimme’s Par & Grill, The Leaderboard Indoor Golf, or X-Golf.
Hang out at a zoo…while the snow falls. Most people haven’t been to an indoor zoo before. But, as a Grand Rapids resident, you have a chance to do exactly that…in your own backyard! Zoology features a variety of amphibians, insects, and reptiles that you can visit all winter long.
Laughter is the best medicine. Perhaps you’re experiencing some winter blues right now? There’s arguably no better cure than laughter! For the dose of laughter you’re looking for, check out Dr. Grins Comedy Club and The Comedy Project. Your winter blues will be cured in no time!
Showcase your artistic skills. Grand Rapids has plenty of businesses that are dedicated to ensuring folks like you can create art. Maybe you’re interested in pottery? Check out the Pottery Lane and The Mud Room this winter. Perhaps you’d rather paint instead? If so, Brush Studio and Painting with a Twist are two options to consider.
Support your local sports teams. Don’t forget to check out some professional sports games in Grand Rapids this winter, too. From basketball (Gold), to hockey (Griffins), to volleyball (Rise), Grand Rapids has an assortment of options for sports fanatics!
Visit indoor gardens. If you’re interested in previewing spring before it actually begins, be sure to visit Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park’s indoor gardens. There are a variety of options. In fact, to see them all this winter, you’ll likely want to visit more than once.
As shown, Grand Rapids is actually an ideal city to live in during the winter—even if you aren’t a fan of snow or cold temperatures. Be sure to visit these indoor entertainment options before the temperatures begin to rise again (and you’d rather be outside instead).
Not only are each of these options fun, but they’ll also provide you an opportunity to gather together with your friends, loved ones, and fellow Beacon Hill residents, over and over again!
