Van Andel Arena
Van Andel Arena is the anchor of downtown Grand Rapids entertainment — a 12,000-seat venue that hosts the Grand Rapids Griffins AHL hockey team, major touring concerts, and family shows year-round. From Wyoming, the arena is about 8 miles north via US-131, but game-night and concert-night traffic on that stretch can stretch a 15-minute drive into 45. Parking in the surrounding blocks fills early and prices vary by event.
Charter buses drop off on Fulton Street and Monroe Avenue near the main entrances — confirm current drop-off protocols on the Van Andel Arena parking and directions page before your visit. The arena says nearby parking is managed by the City of Grand Rapids, with metered street parking available around the venue, so groups should not expect an arena-owned bus lot.
