I did a walk up this particular day and all was fine. The staff and the ladies that checked me in were very friendly and helpful. They have various tours you can do. I paid by the hour, it was $20 for two hours which is not too shabby. I was also given an additional twenty minutes for free. They take both cash/card. Be sure to bring water as there is none available on site. Although I believe there are a few water fountains at Lansing Marketplace just adjacent to where the landing is. You sign a waiver, get your life vest, and head down to the water. You jump in your kayak, staff pushes you into the grand river, and you're off. You can opt to paddle upstream which is a great workout or you can float your way downstream whichever you prefer. Overall, cool little place to come and partake in outdoor activities. The grand river water is murky, and not the cleanest looking. However, do not let that deter you from having a good time.

The design of the building, by Zaha Hadid, definitely provides for a good photo op and sticks out among the brick buildings nearby. The first floor exhibit, featuring Syrian-American artist, Diana Al-Hadid, was gorgeous and engaging. The basement was called the "CORE" and was a Hodge podge of random art. I wasn't fond of how this was set up at all. I love art but other than the featured exhibit, we weren't engaged. The upstairs Mekong art exhibit was pretty cool but small and scattered. I am used to museums having places for students to research and study in. There's not a lot here. Also, there's not really a cafe and the shop is small. Cute stuff in the store though. Overall, the museum was worth checking out in the area but there's no need to make a special trip.

While the museum is small, they pack several meaningful and amazing exhibits in the halls each time we visit. I am a fan of contemporary vision. This place typically has a lot of work to reflect on and I love the multimedia displays. The kids have grown up coming here to reflect on their own interpretations of the displays and what it means to them. The staff and volunteers are friendly. They also have a cute area for gifts. I love he building architecture. And, if you are a fan of Batman, they did film some scenes in front of the museum, and being a fan of pop culture, that is pretty cool too!

I absolutely LOVE Escape the Room activities. I dragged a group of six people out to Escape 20/20…read morein Okemos, it was the first one for 1/2 of us. We chose the Parlor room. It is one room, you're locked in, and you get the 'exit early' code to leave if something horrible happens. So you're not truly stuck in the room, so people with claustrophobia can still enjoy this activity! There are a series of puzzles you have to solve, and a lot of locks you have to unlock. Some require keys, some require codes. There are clues hidden all around the room, but if your team is really stuck, you're handed hints (paper 'telegrams' pushed through a mail slot) to help you look in the right area and solve the puzzles. If you're still not getting it, the hints get more and more detailed. They want you to solve the room, after all! We broke free in 49 minutes - which was a great time! We had a full 11 minutes left to go. Other Escape the Room activities I've been to have been multiple rooms - so as you progress through the story, you open doors to other areas. In order to fit more rooms into this office building, it seems like they opted to keep each room self contained in one room. There were still a ton of puzzles to solve, but I like the feeling of progression as I open doors and get further into the activity. The location of this game is in an office building. It seems like a converted dentist/doctor, which is just like the previous activities I've gone to. This is a great way to spend an hour with friends. I was in town for only a couple days, so we reached out via Facebook to see if we could book the room on their 'closed' day, and they obliged! Then we found out there were two other groups who did the same thing. Great customer service! I highly recommend checking this spot out. I will be back next time I'm in town! (I also broke an entire tray of glass bottles in my excitement during the game, and the woman who ran the room was understanding and didn't get mad at me. She even sent a 'hint' note asking if everything was ok and making sure I didn't get hurt. Other than being completely mortified, I was uninjured.)

Once we arrived we were greeted by Regina. She informed us they were having technical issues but no matter what she'd make it work for us. She was incredibly nice and friendly. Due to the technical issues we weren't able to play like how normally is so she offered us a discount (which was very appreciated). This was a majority of our groups first escape room and we were very pleased and had a great time. We've made plans to go back and do the The Lab. I would highly recommend anyone to try out Escape 20/20. Despite it not being all fancy like some escape rooms are this one was definitely fun and challenging. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.
