Things To Do...

The Wedding Website of Penny Heikkila and Peter Swanson
We’re so excited to share a few of our favorite local spots with you! Over the years, we’ve spent countless weekends exploring the Lansing area, discovering cozy markets, scenic trails, and fun hangouts that we’ve truly fallen in love with. These places are special to us for so many reasons, some hold childhood memories, others have become our go-to date spots, and we’d love for you to experience them too while you’re here celebrating with us. Whether you’re looking to relax, adventure, or just enjoy a little taste of Michigan, here are a few of our favorite places to check out.
Horrocks Farm Market

Horrocks Farm Market

7420 West Saginaw Highway, Lansing, MI 48917

Penny and Peter's Favorite Day-Time Date It started as a small roadside fruit stand and has grown into a sprawling 70,000-square-foot destination combining produce, sweets, gourmet food, garden supplies, 6 greenhouses and more. It’s not just shopping, it’s an outing: picnic tables by the fountain pond, beer garden, food-truck style eating options, and a strollable garden area make it more than just a market. A local MUST SEE place

Zap Zone XL

Zap Zone XL

5220 West Saginaw Highway, Lansing, MI 48917

Peter and Penny's Favorite Local Date Night is ZapZone XL High-speed go-karts for racing thrill-seekers. A multi-level LED-lit laser tag arena for team battles. Axe-throwing lanes for those up for something bold. A huge arcade with over 100 games for families, kids, or just letting loose. Plus bumper cars, mini-golf, bowling, a rage/smash room and more.

Hike: The Ledges Trail

Hike: The Ledges Trail

133 Fitzgerald Park Drive, Grand Ledge, MI 48837

Peter and Penny's Favorite Hike The Ledges hold a special place in our hearts. This is where Penny’s grandma used to take her and her siblings exploring as a kid, and over the years it’s become one of Penny and Peter’s favorite trails to walk together. Whether you’re into hiking, photography, or just a peaceful stroll surrounded by nature, it’s a meaningful spot to experience a piece of what we love about home. The Ledges are dramatic sandstone cliffs rising above the Grand River, with trails along and around them offering beautiful views and a pleasant outdoor experience. One of the most iconic photo-backdrops in our region is the historic railway bridge / train trestle that spans the river at the cliffs. It adds a rugged and adventurous feel to the scene. The trail system is relatively easy and accessible, you don’t have to be a hardcore hiker. It’s perfect for a relaxed stroll, a nature break, or a quick detour before or after the main festivities.
