The stinky River in the Summer time ( the Grand)
In a nutshell
Nothing much to offer most tourists. Great place for school field trips - a few nice Michigan themed museums
ZeekLTK Says: A cheap option for something to do in Lansing is to just take a stroll along the Grand River. The river goes all the way through town, so there are several ways to get to it. Along the river are several walkways which are generally in use by people out jogging, walking,...

Reno's West: Decent Bar but Poor Service
ZeekLTK Says: Reno's West is one of few bars in North Lansing, along Saginaw Highway.In theory, it could be a pretty good place to spend an evening. It has a bunch of stuff to do: pool tables, shuffle board, darts, a lot of televisions... so plenty of entertainment. It also has an outdoor...
Edmund's Pastime: Decent Sports Bar Downtown
ZeekLTK Says: Edmund's is one of the newest restaurants in town, having opened in 2010. I've eaten here a few times and my take is that the menu is hit or miss... there are some things which you definitely get your money's worth and other things where you will leave disappointed.For...
Empire Szechuan: Chinese Buffet
ZeekLTK Says: Empire Szechuan is a basic Chinese buffet. They have a "lunch special" of $5.99 if you eat there between 10:30 AM and 3:30 PM during the week, which comes out to $6.35 after tax if you get a water, and a little bit higher if you get a soft drink. I'm not sure what the price...
Downtown Lansing: Downtown is the Place to Go
ZeekLTK Says: While there are bars scattered throughout the city, the main place to go for nightlife in Lansing is right in the downtown area. This is where the most bars are concentrated together, and there is quite a variety as well.The main area to go to is Michigan Avenue and...
Frank's Press Box: Nice Sports Bar
Basaic Says: Frank's is a sports bar with TVs tuned to sporting events and the usual beer signs and posters. I enjoyed Frank's a bit more than Bennigan's. The atmosphere was much less formal and it was less crowded. The Rum and Coke was strong, and the staff friendly. They also have a...

ZeekLTK Says: Capital City Airport is located in the northern part of Lansing, on Grand River Ave.It is a pretty good location, as that is a main road, so it is easy to get out and get to where ever you need to go. There are several rental car agencies located right at the airport and...
To Lansing, From Detroit Metro Airport
ZeekLTK Says: Detroit Metro Airport is, by far, the biggest and most frequented airport in the state of Michigan, so if this is your entry point, here are some options on how to get to Lansing.One of the easiest is to simply rent a car. Its very easy to obtain a rental car at DTW and...
ZeekLTK Says: There are numerous taxi companies which service Lansing. I personally try to avoid using them unless I absolutely have to, because I feel like they are over priced. But if you decide you want to take a taxi, here are some of the companies that operate around here:Big Daddy...
ZeekLTK Says: Officially called the "Entertainment Express", the Trolley runs on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights only, from 7:30 PM until 2:30 AM. It runs only between downtown Lansing and downtown East Lansing, essentially going back and forth between both of the major bar scenes...

Lansing City Market: Farmer's Market
ZeekLTK Says: I stumbled upon this while walking along the Grand River. It appears to be a farmer's market in downtown Lansing where local farmers and artisans come in to sell their goods throughout the week. The sign on the door said that it is open Tuesday-Friday 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m....
