As 2021 gets underway we're feeling so much more hopeful that the end of the pandemic is in sight and are optimistic about a much brighter year ahead in Grand Rapids. So my family worked on creating a 2021 bucket list of fun things we want to do in Grand Rapids in 2021, many of which we missed out on during 2020 because of COVID.
I wanted to share it with you!
So here's our 2021 family bucket list of family-friendly, post-pandemic fun in Grand Rapids (in no particular order!). We'll continue adding to it as the year goes on. What does your family have on your bucket list of family fun in Grand Rapids for the coming year?
