4-H Children's Garden

Children are the focus of this garden - they even helped in the planning of the 60 small, themed gardens.

Reviewed By MarmeladeGypsy - Lansing, United States

The MSU Children's Garden is number one on my list of places to take visitors to the Lansing area -- and to just go for a lovely time in a beautiful and clever garden. Note the pizza garden (with peppers and tomatoes); the Peter Rabbit garden (with all kinds of salad items); the Alice in Wonderland maze; the Monet bridge; a xylophone you play with your feet and many other lovely spots. There are benches for sitting and it's a delightful spot for a picnic. It's adjacent to the horticulture gardens for a lovely walk.

Reviewed By TravelingTitus - East Lansing, United States

This is a fun place to take children or a date. Obviously, this is a warmer weather place to go. Easiest to see after students are gone.

River Trail

Reviewed By Chelz1111 - Lansing, United States

I love walking the rivertrail all through town, love to bring my dog with me and look at all the cool art all along the trail. The trail is huge so you can get to it from all sorts of spots. Great for biking and rollerblading too

I LOVED walking here. Different paths to take off the paved trail. Got a little hungry afterwards and ate at the picnic tables that were available near the entrance.

I have been visiting Woldumar since I was in grade school, and my daughter has attended camp there whlie she was in grade school. Wonderful organization that educated and protects nature. We have volunteered here on numerous occasions and always enjoy walking through the wood.

Carl G. Fenner Nature Center

tel. 517-483-4224

Reviewed By angelabouterse - Lansing, United States

I love this Center for many reasons. Besides being a treasure in our city. It's a little slice of a Woods in the middle of the city. They also have an Apple Butter Festival. Which I love. Hey have docents there that when I bring my students on a field trip they have many activities to help each age level. The Apple Butter Festival is for family and individuals. Which is a must-do. I also love the maple syrup Festival. You must come and walk amongst the trees. Go to the observation room and look at the birds being fed with all of the different bird feeders. See the lovely bees buzzing and an actual window into the hive is quite an attraction for young and old. They also have feathers and different species to show to the visitors.
