28 of the Best Places to Take Friends and Family When Visiting Lansing
Lansing is full of cool things to do, see, and eat.
The Best of Lansing
However, as a Lansing resident who sees and experiences them on a daily basis, it can be easy to understand how some things may be overlooked, or perhaps just forgotten about. That's why it's nice when someone new comes in to break us out of our routines and shake off the dust. Enter: visiting friends and family.
If you have family or friends visiting, whether they're just from out-of-town or they're from out-of-state, you'll want to make sure you're a good host.
That means showing them around town, perhaps taking them to see "the sights".

But what are those sights? I know we all have our favorite places, but what are some of the best places? Places to go, things to do, and food to eat, that you can only get while visiting the Lansing area. Not just Lansing either, but the greater mid-Michigan area too, like East Lansing, St Johns, and Grand Ledge.
