East Lansing Early Childhood Zone
In the Molecular Plant Science Building Atrium, this event has tons of hands-on activities for kids 7 and younger. It runs over this weekend, from 4/8-4/9, and is a great way to spend the weekend in a fun, learning environment with the little ones.

Potter Park Zoo: An Evening of Awesome, Interactive Experiences at a Living Museum
This event, on Friday April 14th from 5-8 PM, explores conservation and the natural world. There are tons of hands-on activities at the zoo, including how to be an animal chef, or having up-close encounters with live animal ambassadors.
