James Smith: Pretty good museum focused on Michigan history. If you want to absorb it all and read write-ups, as well as participate in various hands-on displays, it will take a few hours to complete. It’s like a smaller version of one of the Smithsonians. Well designed and laid out and put together with quality. It’s typically open for a few hours on Sunday, at which time the entry is free. Tickets are priced reasonably for other days.

Erin Symonds: We spent a few hours on Sunday exploring the Michigan History Center. My son has been asking to go for weeks, and with Sunday being free admission plus free parking, it seemed the perfect time! The mining area was very cool and I love how the center flowed through. There isn't a wrong way to go through the place. My son loved exploring the place. We'll be back soon!

Sara M: Did you know that in Michigan the Polio Vaccine had trials leaded by Jonás Salk? Or that Jiffy the famous mixture of pancakes and baking good was founded in Michigan? Well… all of these and more you’ll learn in this History Center museum which is shared with the Michigan Library.I was gladly impressed during my visit. This museum is organized in a way you enjoy and understand the journey. It is 3 storey and each one is pretty ample. My favourites areas were the “Mining in Michigan”, “The Prototyping Parlour and the recently added “Hazel’s creation” right at the entrance.Sundays are free and parking is plenty and free as well.To go over the whole 3 floors and if you go at slow pace as myself :) allocate at minimum 2 hours. You can go with seniors as there is plenty of seatings and also with children.

Lee Norton: From prehistory to wilderness to territory to statehood, this museum has a professional presentation spread across 3 floors on exhibit. The entry cost is reasonable.Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure Price for adult entry $6–10 …More

Larry Smith: A very cool place to visit, kind of a mini collection of Michigan's diverse history. I was here with a 3rd grade class. I think it was a bit above their grade level. I would suggest 5th grade and above to visit here. A children's museum would have been a better fit for the kids today.

Jeff Stancroff: The R.E Olds Transportation Museum was a nice surprise find during our trip to Lansing, not sure what we would do without Google. The museum had a nice little gift shop when you enter to purchase your tickets that had some interesting Oldsmobile memorabilia. Going through the museum there were a lot of interesting vehicles like an Olds Semi truck as well as small Olds equipment like lawnmowers and snow blowers which I had no idea they made. The best part of the tour for me was the Hurst Hairy Hauler, I am sure it must have been a handful on the track. If your into automotive history this has to be on the top of your list if your in Lansing

Laura Farmer: Loved the history. Very nice visit

Transparent “TrapScape” Nightmare: Small but alot of history

Steve Richards: I have lived in Lansing my whole life and had never been to the museum. I took my camera and had an amazing time. The amount of exhibits in such a small space is unbelievable. The museum covers cars to lawnmowers along with a refrigerator thrown in. All the exhibits are in wonderful condition and can take you back in time if you can imagine. They have even taken the time to honor the fallen officers of the Lansing police and fire departments. I spent an hour in the museum and could have stayed longer if I had read all the exhibit descriptions. The museum is very well laid out and is definitely worth the price of admission.

MANATSU K: 土曜日のお昼過ぎに訪問しました。車内で昼食を済ませ中に入りました、広すぎず、それほど混雑もしておらず、子どもたちはかなり楽しんでいました。靴を脱いで遊べる所ではまだ歩く事のできない乳児でも楽しむことができて良かったです。乳幼児と訪問しましたが、展示内容はその子たちには難しいものもあり、子どもが大きくても楽しめそうだと思いました。ただ、いくつかの展示で機能していないものもあったのでそれは気になりました。

With its wide range of exhibits and activities, Impression 5 Science Center guarantees a fun and enlightening experience for all.

Brooke Rosek: My kids had fun but I have been waiting (and excited) to take my kids here for several years, and I was rather disappointed in our experience. The building was pretty warm, and when I went to use the nursing room it felt like there was absolutely no air flow in there and it was way too hot, so I did not stay. As far as exhibits, the ones my kids were most interested in were not functioning or out of supplies. The bubble room was sad and looked like it needed to be refilled everywhere, and there wasn’t any bubble solution in the big bubble maker which was disappointing. I can’t remember the names of everything specifically but there were multiple broken activities. The water room was the best but online it makes it appear like there are ponchos available to stay dry but I didn’t see any anywhere, all the hooks were empty and my kids got soaked, I’m glad at least it was the last thing we went to.

Elizabeth N: My 2.5 year old had a BLAST in the water flow room and the bubble exhibit. Lots of hands-on activities for kids, and the displays really encourage the children to explore and play and experiment with different things. I was amazed at some of the things my kiddo picked up on, just watching what was going on around her.There's a lot for adults to get out of it as well. Almost lost dad more than once. 😆 Plan at least a few hours, there are places to sit and have snacks as well!

X. RAO: Free to enter. Wonderful architectural and modern building, which unfortunately may be the mist impactful art of the museum. I do not think the exhibition is too artful, too influential, or too crafty. I anticipated higher standard for a Broad Museum. Staff are nice, but seem to be bore as not so many visitors.I am thinking a 3.5 star is more appropriate.

John Hawkins: Great staff.Great art.

Nancy Lansing: Women showcasing our history, supporting local agencies, causes, and community.

L Camilla Shewalter: I found this very enlightening and interesting. I was surprised at the number of important women who accomplished so much but have gone mostly unrecognized. My only suggestion would be to add some audio recordings that people could listen to as they viewed each woman... because the audio experience is such a valuable learning tool.

Jamie Beckwith: I went here years ago and found it very interesting.
