    I was a little disappointed with the Oz exhibit. I pictured something a little more extensive from the previews that I read online. The yellow brick road should have been a much brighter yellow. Don't forget to go across the street to see the Oz characters. However, the park is beautiful! We even saw black squirrels! That is something new to an Easterner like me. The fountain, flowers and shrubs were exceptionally manicured. We were able to park cloeby and enjoyed our stroll in this quiet part of town. I was really impressed by Holland overall. The downtown was vibrant and every store was well maintained. The park is a nightlight of our visit to Holland. I would consider buying a home in this town if we ever become snow birds that spend summers in the North.

    Lovely park with lots of little features and beautiful landscaping that make it a wonderful place to visit when you're in Holland Michigan. If you can, definitely visit this area during Tulip time in May when tulips are plentiful all around the town. Otherwise, enjoy beautiful brick pathways, a gazebo, plenty of flowers, fish pond, dutch fountain, war memorial, and statue of the town's founder. Attend a concert, class, or special event here when they're available. Overall, make a quick stop here if you're in town and experience other attractions such as the Dutch Village, various museums, boat cruise, and various gardens if you have the chance.

    A great place to visit and to cool off amidst the punishing sun. Come here take a stroll in the park to enjoy the landscaping- fountains, koi pond, a lot of flowers and trees, wizard of oz exhibit and brick pathways under the shade of beautiful mature trees. The park seemed well maintained, clean and seemed to be a popular place to cool off since we saw a lot of people just laying down under the shade of trees, on the gazebo and even on the benches. I like the wizard of oz exhibit the most, it take an artist to build and create a wonderful display such as this piece. You will not even think the book was made of plants until you are close to it. This park is located next to the Holland Museum and next to residential homes.

    We visited Centennial Park during the Holland to look festival. Unfortunately we were visiting the festival talk on the very last day, after two weeks of running. I wanted to be super impressed with centennial park since some of the other sites in town had disappointed. Unfortunately Centennial Park looked like the aftermath of a child's party. Much of the park had been stomped one, so the ground was bear. The tulips were still in bloom and pretty, but seemed sparse in some areas.And the fountain pond with all the fish was quite dirty and looked uncapped. I was expecting more given that it was their largest event of the year. It was really packed, maybe on an average day the park it doesn't look so run down.

    Koi fish pond!

    There's a gazebo to have lunch in, a pond in the center, and many beautiful flowers planted around.

    I always adore Michigan's state parks. And Holland's holds its own. Huge sandy beach to plunk down…read moreyour towel and take a dip in the Big Lake. Lots of walkable space, too, for beachcombing or watching boats cruise through the channel. Excellent views of Holland's famous "Big Red" lighthouse. Camping available, too. Sand seems more littered these days with washed up debris. On busy days Ottawa Beach Road backs up for miles. For the best chance to avoid traffic arrive super early or wait until late afternoon when the families have headed home. No lifeguards. Swim at your own risk. Motor vehicle permit required.

    The campground is along a busy road that seemed to be the drag-strip for locals. Traffic and loud…read morecars made for a less than stellar experience. I tend to camp to find nature and peace, don't want to camp on a drag strip! If you don't care about camping with constant road noise, then this may be what you would like. We had company who paid for a visitor tag the one evening we were there during "shoulder" season. Most of the sites were empty, yet rangers issued a ticket for parking incorrectly! No warning! No gentle "even though we're practically empty, we will issuing tickets". The rangers patrolled though routinely never spoke to us, or acknowledge our presence. Just seemed to cop an attitude. They wouldn't even make eye contact much less talk to us. We were 4 sixty plus individuals checking out the park, not rablerousers trying to cause problems. We didn't clearly understand the strictness of the rule enforcement, would think rangers might be considerate of first time visitors especially during the slow season. Instead by ruling with a heavy hand and large fine we would not go back. While restrooms and showers were relatively clean, as campground bathrooms go, regular maintenance was being ignored, one sink and one toilet ran continuously and several of the showers had broken plumbing parts. We'd paid for two nights up front, but the rangers managed to irritate me enough that we left after one. I would hate to be there during busy season, will not return, and would never recommend staying at this campground! Found the dune behind the campground to be full of litter and just did not find anything good about our trip to Holland town or park!

    Oh my Gosh, 5 Stars all the way! I'm so happy we came here during Tulip Festival! Was it kinda…read morepricey at $20 a person to get in, and crazy busy, yes to both! but would I do it again, yes for sure! We walked up and saw you could catch a big ol school bus to shuttle you up to the entrance for free, we hoped on and went in. I was very excited to see de Zwaan the famous Windmill imported from the Netherlands! The only one in the US, I think! It was SO beautiful! I got some great shots of the tulips and the windmill that I thought were just so pretty! Loved going up in the windmill and walking thru the tulip fields. Also don't miss walking thru the shops with authentic goods for sale including a whole cheese wall! With samples! You know some Dutch Gouda had to come home with me!

    Back in July I went to De Zaanse Schans in the Netherlands and then in August I came here to…read moreWindmill Island Gardens - so I feel like I have a good way to compare the parks. The windmill is identical to what is in the Netherlands. The only difference between this windmill and the ones in the Netherlands is that each level of this windmill has different types of jobs that were done that relied on windmill power such as clog carving and flour milling. I feel like the people in costume don't really want to chat or start a discussion around the park except for one woman at the very top of the windmill who was giving out stickers and one doing the pipe organ demonstration - everyone else in costume were either chatting with each other or kind of zoned out. Outside of the windmill, there's not much to do - we watched the short informative film and the pipe organ demonstration, but that's it for activities. We were told that the park had horses in the pasture but we walked the entire park and all the paddocks were empty. There is a carousel for kids and there is a gift shop selling the exact same stuff as all of the gift shops in Amsterdam. Even though we were in Holland, Michigan, everything just says "Holland" on it - I even saw the exact clog magnet I purchased in Amsterdam for sale here! Even the paper shopping bags for small items are identical to what is available in the gift shops in Amsterdam. (The cheese is local though.) One that that was pretty cool was looking at this big miniature town that they have on display from the 1930's. If you have never been to Windmill Island Gardens, then you'll have no idea of the significance of the miniature town in Nicole Kidman's basement in the film "Holland" that she starred in. It is set in Holland Michigan and features many shots of this particular windmill. My husband and I watched it after we stumbled upon it after our visit and having been here was kind of cool while watching. Overall, I'd say you can do absolutely everything in 2 hours here, including walking the entire loop around the fields. It was fine but I'd definitely like more of the employees doing talks discussing Dutch culture, crafts, architecture, whatever. Visited: August 2025
