Why to go there: Do you have a science lover?  If you live in Lenawee, Jackson, or Washtenaw County, this is the place to view tropospheres, plants, and various wildlife.  There are trails, plants, and arrangements galore.  It is run by Michigan State University, so it has that university polish.

What to do before hand: Go over the different climates and regions, as well as plants aligned with thos regions.  See some information of climates of the world here.  Align that to the plants you will see at Hidden Lake Gardens.

Be careful:  To fully utilize, you have to do some upfront work.  Kids will like the ability to move around and enjoy the different arrangements.  Be sure to include time for meandering.


Summary:  It’s a ways out, but it has a lot of high interest items for properly pre-interested kids.  Lots of interesting restaurants in Adrian to include in the trip.
