Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park announced record-breaking attendance for its 2024 fiscal year ending Sept. 30, solidifying its place as one of Michigan’s most-visited cultural destinations and one of the country’s most visited art museums.

A news release says over 785,250 visitors experienced art, culture, and nature at Meijer Gardens in the last year, marking the highest annual attendance in the organization’s near 30-year history.

Charles Burke, President & CEO of Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, says quote, "We are deeply grateful for the support of our members, guests, and community partners [who have made this significant achievement possible,]" he adds, "As we prepare for our 30th year, we remain dedicated to providing exceptional experiences that inspire and engage all who walk through our doors." End quote.

To kick off the organization's 30th anniversary, Meijer Gardens will debut ENLIGHTEN, which will be a new outdoor holiday light spectacle running on select dates Nov. 27 to Jan. 4.
