Stay Cool This Summer With Ice Cream and Cold Treats in Lansing
Summertime in Michigan and ice cream on a patio go hand in hand. After all, what is a Lansing summer without a superman ice cream or at least one MSU Dairy store trip, right!?
Ice cream shops open as soon as we Michiganders start wearing shorts again. Although we only get a small amount of warmer weather months, it doesn’t mean we lack in the number of ice cream shops around here!
