    I not only went to Michigan State (Advertising, 1988), but I grew up in East Lansing. When I come back home to East Lansing, which is generally once or twice per year, I make every effort to spend some time over on campus. There is something special about this place.

    My daughter took me here for mother's day and it was a beautiful treat. The gardens are lovely and serene plus the exhibits are very educational. A great place for the entire family!

    Having attended several different performances at Wharton I can only say that we are VERY fortunate to have such a facility available in East Lansing. When Wharton first opened several years ago it was billed as the most acoustically perfect theater in existence. I now use hearing aids so I expect that the sound system may have changed.
    I have several vision impaired friends and some performances (if interested, contact Wharton to learn more) are described through a headset for those guests. We can enjoy the performances together.
    Anyone planning attend should plan ahead and learn what is scheduled for the season.

    Very easy to navigate around the campus and convenient seating with plenty of concessions and restrooms. Looking forward to going back

    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.

    Amazing day in East Lansing! The atmosphere around the stadium was great-tons of tailgating and very friendly people. The only negative was the limited bathroom facilities in the stadium. We were on the upper deck and there were no womens bathrooms unless you went down two levels. Then you waited in line down the concourse to get into an old and small bathroom. They need to update

    Went here for a large business event. I will say it was so clean up to date and organized. There was a sense of security even though I did not see any officers.

    I was in desperate search of a specific painting for 2 years. Roy contacted the artist herself numerous times. Because of his outreach and incredibly diligent work, I now have the painting I have always wanted. He was kind, considerate, clear, and determined; there are no better qualities in a business owner! This gallery and Roy's work is outstanding. I am so grateful to have found him!

    I love to take my children here for midweek homeschool showings. The presentations are interesting and informative. I would give five stars, however, their projector seems a little out dated? I am not a planetarium expert by any stretch...but I would enjoy this if it were a more crisp and vivid picture that was being projected on the dome. Totally worth it though.

    The Broad is located on the MSU campus. The design is striking, though in important ways it limits the art that can be exhibited. The collection and exhibitions are hit and miss, though this is not unusual for college art museums. Admission is free, though, and for those in East Lansing it is worth a visit.

    New location in Reo Town area of Lansing at 1314 S Washington Ave. Went on Saturday night for their soft opening. For a soft opening staff was well trained and took orders immediate. Appetizer were great. Onion rings handmade on site and fried pickles. Both were very good. Pizza variety great. We tried three different ones and all were perfectly cooked. Had their desert beer very good. Raspberry chocolate stout flavor.

    Will go again.

    Park has a great play area for children of all ages. Lots of shade and good picnic areas. Grills are also available.
