You can’t beat a “kids eat free” night out in Lansing! We’re all going to have nights when a home-cooked meal feels impossible. Work ran late, there are too many activities to run to, or you just plain don’t feel like cooking! We know taking the whole family out to dinner can get expensive, so we have put together a comprehensive list of local restaurants where kids eat free or cheap!
Lansing Mom works to keep this list up to date, but please call ahead to confirm. If you have a restaurant we could add to the list, please email [email protected] and we’d be happy to update this list!
