#GRDates: A Dutch Village Date for $18!

Posted on by

#GRDates is a weekly series highlighting fun & frugal dates in Grand Rapids and around West Michigan for $25 or less! Because I love West Michigan and want to experience everything it has to offer, but I do have to stick to a budget.

I haven’t been to Dutch Village in Holland, MI since kindergarten.  Today’s Groupon deal would be a fantastic date!  For $18, you get admission for 2 to Dutch Village and $20 to spend on food at the Hungry Dutchmen Cafe or gifts.

I checked out the activities and there’s lots to do & see:

  • Dutch dancing lessons
  • Old Dutch cheese making
  • Waterwheel and The Giant Stork – photo opps
  • History museum
  • Petting zoo and TAKE A GOAT FOR A WALK *Seriously, who hasn’t wanted to do this their entire life?! Don’t tell me you’ve already done it. I’ll be jealous. ;)*

While you need to purchase the deal today, you have until October 4, 2011 to redeem it.

Final Price: $18 per couple
