MSU's huge country-like campus offers a lovely setting for running, biking or just hanging out, and also has places to visit, like the Beal Botanical Gardens, Sanford Natural Area, the 70,000-capacity Spartan football stadium, an art center, planetarium and, of course, the MSU Dairy Store for ice cream.

Anytime I have friends and loved ones from out of state, they want to see the updates at Michigan State University. The campus is designed with the walking student to classes in mind. Don't forget to tour the farms attached too. Even check out the Student Union is a must.

Meridian Historical Village is a well put together collection of the way life was during the early years of Meridian. The docents are quite knowledgeable. Visit on a Saturday during the summer months between 9 and 2 while the fabulous Meridian Farmer's Market is happening. The Farmer's Market has expanded right up to the village entrance.

This is one of the better marketed Capitols we have visited. We toured the building with a 3rd grade class and found it educational and entertaining. We appreciated learning more about the Capitol. It was great to learn that one of Michigan's favorite governors, Austin Blair, was an abolitionist.

Stopped at the Harris Nature Center for the first time. Walked one of the blacktopped trails. The woods are beautiful and many of the trees have information posted about them. Plan to go back and spend more time walking and visiting the building and exhibits.

Renovations keep making this venue better and better.
It's easy to get around inside. There are many food choices.
I love our West Upper Deck seats. Lines of vision are great.
There are multiple large bathrooms and several concession stands with a few free standing food options. Take the ramp instead of the stairs, though. It's a long way up.

I visited the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum in October 2017 during a visit to Lansing. The museum staff were very helpful in answering questions about the museum and the museum has a variety of cars to look at from all different decades of the 20th...MoreThanks so much for visiting and for the review!
9. Wharton Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 67 reviews
Reviewed By WmECamp - Farmington Hills, Michigan
This was my first time at the Wharton Center for Performing Arts on the campus of MSU. It is a large auditorium with a large main floor and balcony. I has no center aisles, like a few other venues I have attended and it makes it quite annoying for someone 45 seats or more over to keep passing in front of you. The acoustics are good but you are a long long way from the stage if you are in the balcony. That is why they rent binoculars in the lobby. The parking structure is attached to the venue and parking is $5.00 so that's not bad. The production of "Beautiful" was excellent. Just remember to bring the binoculars if you are upstairs or in the back of the main floor.

Central Park South is a nice park with parking a small lake and walking or jogging trails that are paved. It connects with Nancy Moore Park. A very pleasant place to spend time and enjoy nature.
