An unusually attractive small town museum dedicated to local history and full of local memorabilia and historical items. We are open on Wednesdays from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Our curator, Keith Martin, would be happy to open the museum for special tours at any convenient time.

11 years ago, I had a first date at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts. We had an amazing time and long story short, are about to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and the 2nd and 8th birthdays of our children. It is a gorgeous facility. The exhibits are always excellently curated and thought-provoking. They offer fantastic programming for all audiences including children and families. We also LOVE the annual Art Sale in December. It is the perfect spot to find unique gifts. We are so lucky to have such an gem located right here in the heart of our community.

From rare and historic to inspiring artwork and exhibits, there's always something new to discover at the Air Zoo. The Air Zoo is a world-class, Smithsonian-affiliated aerospace and science museum with over 100 air and space artifacts, inspiring interactive exhibits, full-motion flight simulators, indoor amusement park rides, a theater and over 100 education programs! Spend the day exploring aviation, engineering, science, technology, math and art in both of the exciting and unique Flight Centers. Make sure to take the shuttle to the Flight Discovery Center where visitors have the opportunity to climb in training cockpits, geek out over the intricacies of aerospace technology and engines, and see a nationally recognized restoration program! Volunteers are busy, 7 days a week, restoring two WWII aircraft recovered from the bottom Lake Michigan. It's a must see! Both centers are included in admission and are open 360+ days a year. Come imagine, explore and discover at the Air Zoo!

In a nutshell: - Entertainment for all ages - 2 hour minimum, 4 hours better. Aviation/ history fanatics could easily spend a whole day here - Check if guided tours are available, and check out interactive exhibits like the movie theater and virtual reality - There is a restoration center, in addition to main building exhibits We were two adults with limited time, so we did not get to see everything. A kind gentleman offered us a tour, which we will definitely take advantage of next time. We were very impressed with what we did have time for, and will definitely be back to see more! Aesthetically, the museum is gorgeous! Every wall surface is painted with beautiful murals. The exhibits are easy to follow and read, and everything is spotlessly clean. You are able to get right up close to all the planes and see them from all angles. You can basically run through the exhibits from the early days of aviation all the way up to modern times, with a heavy emphasis on WW2 (please don't ever change that!). There are a number of detailed exhibits that discuss women and African Americans in aviation also, which was much appreciated! We stopped to see the ten minute movie about the Kalamazoo Gal, and next time hopefully will be able to see the longer film! There are amusement rides for small children, and also what looked like virtual reality or flight simulators. We are so glad we stopped in, even just briefly, and will definitely be back! Thank you to all the kind staff; we look forward to our next visit! Keep up all the great work!
