In the Japanese Garden, there's a sound, a *thunk* that happens every once in a while. What is it? The Sozu Fountain, not only is it beautiful, but also it serves a practical purpose in the gardens.

There's no doubt about it, Grand Rapids is an awesome city. We've got lots of attractions and fun things always going on, we're a family friendly city and appeal to the younger crowd as well. Grand Rapids has A LOT to offer so no wonder why we make so many "best of" lists...
