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

We are so glad that we did not pass on the trip to the Kalamazoo Air Zoo. Our group ranged in age from 68-30 years young and all of us had a great time. We saw many younger families that appeared to be having a great time as well. Do not miss the 4D-Missions Theater where you will board a... more

We visited the Air Zoo with a family group, ages ranging from 3-70. It was fun for all! Located near Kalamazoo's airport, at 6151 Portage Rd, it gave a history of aviation. Available were places to view videos, an introduction movie, rides for old and young alike, a children's play room, and much more. Planes from various eras hang from... more

The Kalamazoo Air Museum no longer gives rides in the 1929 Ford Tri-Motor as stated on their web site. The Tri-Motor is down for repairs and will not return until sometime in 2004, if then. Call before visiting. more
