BEST TIME TO VISIT GRAND RAPIDS, MUSKEGON, GRAND HAVEN AND HOLLAND

If you want to privilege animation and sea life and sports then Summer (and late Spring and early Fall) is the right season to visit Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Grand Haven and Holland.  

If you just take into account the weather, Autumn or late spring - with their agreeable and warm days and temperatures - are excellent times to visit the region.  

Great Lakes' winters are severe, with occasional snowstorms and intense rainfalls, and Grand Rapids-Muskegon-Grand Haven-Holland winters don't escape to the rule, obviously. Snowstorms and ice storms are current in December, January and February.
