Tournament continues tradition of affordable, family-focused amenities
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give continues its commitment to family-focused fun, ensuring all can attend at an affordable price.
"Meijer is a family-owned company, so creating meaningful experiences for families is a key part of this event's legacy," said Cathy Cooper, Executive Director of the Meijer LPGA Classic. "From kid-friendly activities and comfortable family care spaces to affordable food options throughout the course, we want guests of all ages to enjoy a fun, welcoming, and memorable weekend."
As in previous years, children ages 17 and under get into the tournament free with a ticketed adult. Tickets are on sale at meijerlpgaclassic.com, with general admission tickets available for as low as $10 a day.
The free, popular open-air kids destination, Discovery Land, continues to grow, delivering more family fun and allowing for additional kid-friendly activities, including art stations provided by Artists Creating Together (ACT), face painting, and outdoor lawn games like mini golf and corn hole. Other notable experiences include various character visits, magic shows, and storybook readings. Complimentary food and beverage samples will also be provided by various tournament partners, and live tournament coverage will be showcased on digital boards.
The Family Care Areas will continue to offer an air-conditioned tent featuring locking rooms with lactation and diaper changing stations. One air-conditioned tent will be located next to Discovery Land and a second air-conditioned location, offering two additional lactation and changing stations, will be available off the 16th fairway. The Meijer LPGA Classic was the first tournament on the LPGA Tour to add specific rooms for lactation use and diaper changing on the golf course in 2019.
The Grand Taste Concession locations will offer high-quality food for families, with all items costing $4 or less. The menu includes cheeseburgers ($4), hotdogs ($2) and Meijer Purple Cow ice cream ($1) among other items.
