Hi there,
The small town of Lansing offers numerous specialty boutiques and galleries for shopping. Also, Cooley Gardens is a great place to spend with family and friends for a picnic at one of its pavilion sites.
Fenner Nature Center is another great place where you can enjoy outdoors activities and take in the area woods, ponds, and fields on some of the center's self-guided nature trails.
If you are looking to do more outdoor activities, you'll find some great Michigan
camping and Michigan hiking at a
Lansing-area state park like Sleepy Hollow.
Hope this helps
