  This is a fun place to take kids to play for an afternoon. There is no cost to visit. You could cover it all in 30 minutes or make an afternoon out of it.

  You have to pay for parking via ticket machine. I remember if you didn't have exact coins it only took big bills and only gave you parking tokens back not money. (The Parking is why I took one star off).Once you get to the garden, let the kids go and follow them along the paths in a mini labyrinth, giant spiderweb, yellow brick road and lots of cool things to discover hidden all over the garden.

  This is a part of the MSU Horticultural gardens which contains a ton of lovely plants and flowers. Absolutely gorgeous to look at and a very romantic spot for a stroll with your significant other.

  Whenever my nieces and nephews visited when my daughter was small, we'd go to the 4h children's garden at MSU. It has a model train, a pond with occasional turtles and frogs, a little maze, chimes that you jump on, a playground train to climb on, holes in the fence to watch real trains go by, little sculptures everywhere and of course flowers galore. I still like going there. There are bathrooms in the building nearby and more gardens to run around in. The children's area is somewhat enclosed, so you can let little ones run around at least somewhat.

  attractive, lots of signs which name the plants. Adjacent to the magnificent MSU gardens. Activities for the little ones...especially the squirting frogs

  The 4-H Children's Garden is a must see. All ages can enjoy this unique garden. You can bring a lunch and watch your children discover all the fun. Wedding parties go the the children's garden for pictures. High school students gather here each spring to take Prom pictures. Families gather for portraits. There are many scheduled activities throughout the summer for young and old. A special place indeed.

  Fun, free, and child (of all ages) friendly. Enjoy the chimes. Metered parking nearby though I walk to the garden.

  Beginning in March with the opening of the Butterfly House in the building adjacent to the Children's Garden, you can have a wonderful experience for children as young as two years old. The garden itself features sculptures and a wonderful water feature. Familiar and unusual plants are grown in very child friendly spaces throughout the garden. It is a great way to spend from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the ages of the children in attendance. From the Garden it is a short walk up Farm Lane to the MSU Dairy Store for ice cream to complete the visit.

  Beautiful garden for children of all ages. Creative gardens and landscaping. A great place for children to see what can be done with flowers and plants or to learn about them.

  It's free. It's outdoors. It has nice spaces to play and explore. It has shade and a model train on Thursdays -- and a real live huge train that passes by on what I'm guessing is a daily basis. My son got a huge kick out of this. The playground structure tower is an excellent viewing platform. Thanks to 4-H for this excellent outdoor oasis in East Lansing!
