10 Shopping in Lansing That You Shouldn't Miss
The birthplace of the Oldsmobile and Michigan's automotive center, Lansing offers visitors a number of car-related sites like plant tours and automobile museums, but there are other forces driving this capital city. On the political side, there's the award-winning State Capitol Building, completely restored in 1992, where tourists are wowed by the glass-floor rotunda and acres of decorative handpainted surfaces. The Michigan Historical Museum, which boasts a great collection of items from Michigan's past, including a recreated copper mine, will please history buffs. Children and families will enjoy taking a camel ride at the Potter Park Zoo or spending the day biking through Sleepy Hollow State Park. On the cultural side, the nearby campus of Michigan State University is a must-see for the Kresge Museum and for the beautiful campus itself. Entertaining and educational attractions, great shopping, fabulous restaurants and a variety of affordable accommodations make Lansing worth the ride.

7. Mega Mall
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 15 reviews
Reviewed By Exploration709554 - Michigan, United States
This is a great flea market / antique mall. We have been coming back for years and years, and there is always something for everybody! Antiques, collectibles, vintage clothing and jewelry, some furniture, home decor and more. The building is huge, with rows and rows of booths; we have been know to spend all day here because there is so much to see! Pricing is set by the vendors, so some booths are higher than others, but most are offering fair pricing and many offer discounts from 10-50% off. Staff members are milling about, always willing to unlock a cabinet or carry your purchases to the front until you're ready to check out. They have carts available, and there is a small lounge area to take a break, with snacks for purchase. I prefer to visit during the week, because it is much busier and crowded on weekends. In the summer and fall months, they hold an outdoor flea market on Sundays.
