Haven't heard much about this attraction. It was free for us and I didn't realize that it's probably just a special around the holidays. It's a newer facility that's very well done and it's pretty suprising that they have an SR-71 at this smaller facility- good job. Also have an actual moon rock too. This attraction is divded between two... more

This is a very nice museum that doesn't get much notice, unfortunately. For its size it compares well to the air museum in Dayton. My kids loved the flight simulator and would have spent all day there if they could have. If you go, make sure to see the "other building," where a lot of space-related things are on display. more

The Kalamazoo Air Zoo is an indoor vintage airplane museum that also features some hands-on activites and rides for the kids. I went with my 3 kids, ages ranging from 6-12. There are 4 flight simulators that you can go into. Those are cool, but you have to wait a long time in line to use one (plus, one of... more

WE thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this aviation/history museum. What a pleasant surprise for us. There are several rides in this museum, mostly for kids. I do not recommend any in particular for any adult; we spent the $12.95 each for us to enable us to ride all of the rides, and that is a mistake. We should have chosen... more

I have been to the Air Zoo twice. This is a great place to learn about history and airplanes. They have also added fun rides for the kids (I recommend the flight simulator). From now until September admission is free and the rides are $2 each. Great for kids and adults alike. more

I travel all over the US on business about six months out of the year, and when I find an interesting place or attraction, I like to check it out. Today, I stopped by the "Air Zoo" in Kalamazoo, MI on business and found a hidden gem in the Kalamazoo area. It is officially in Portage, MI, but I thought... more

This is one of the best air museums in the country. While not the largest they do a fantastic job of balancing fun and education. Its not a walk around and stare at old planes museum, but an interactive showplace. Spend some time marveling at the priceless and rare planes in the collection, including a B-25 and one of only... more

Took some friends from out of the country. Assumed it was a small town museum but it was chock full of planes, rides, history and they did a great job of displaying it all. We spent 3 hours and it closes at 5 but needed another hour. Lots of nice restaurants in the area like Bravo and other inexpensive like... more

The AirZoo is a great place to go and take the kids. Pay one admission and get unlimited rides on Simulators, space shuttle, balloon and Bi-Plane rides. The kids will love it. If you like airplanes this is the place to go. Full of history and many historians there to guide you and tell you many great stories of the... more

First, the good: This place is great for plane nuts. The museum building is really nice, with large, spacious feel and gorgeous murals that really add to the atmosphere. The museum has good variety, the exhibits are interesting, and feels like it is professionally run and well-maintained. It is an attraction I would be proud to show off to visitors.... more
