Spring is just about here, and I know I’m excited for better weather and more color in the trees. This change of season brings some of my favorite things: magnolia blossoms, floral print dresses, and my birthday, to name a few. Maybe you’re feeling like you’re in a springtime rut and not sure what to do. Well you are in luck, because I’m here to offer you a few ideas of new things to try this spring in Lansing!
Eat Pancakes in the Woods
Hunt for Blooms Across Town
- Cooley Gardens, 125 W Malcolm X Street, Lansing
- Beaumont Tower, 375 W Circle Drive, East Lansing
- Michigan 4-H Children’s Garden, 1066 Bogue Street, East Lansing
Make Your Own Mural Tour
If the flowers aren’t blooming quite yet, add some color to your life with wall murals! The Lansing area has lots of public art to enjoy. Check out the murals in Lansing, especially in Reo Town or Old Town, or gaze at the beautiful walls of BAD Brewing Company in downtown Mason.
Take a Bike Ride
By now the snow has melted off the boardwalk of the Lansing River Trail, which makes it the perfect time to get out your bike and get on the Trail. You can see the many art installations along the River Trail as you cycle past. Or you can make lots of stops for photos or snacks, too — my favorite way to bike!
I hope these ideas get you thinking of other new things to try this spring. I am always looking for new ideas too, so share them with me in the comments!
