We went on a family outing here and had a great time. We went during the week so it was not busy at all which allowed for a more leisurely walk through the museum. There were exhibits, interactive learning stations, and rides. It has something for all ages. I appreciate that the museum makes a effort to highlight minorities and women for their contributions to aviation. We watched a movie on women's suffrage in the theater. We are planning another trip to be able to spend more time. We spent about 2 hours and could have spent more.

This air museum is beautifully constructed and each mural is painstakingly painted. The items in the museum are well taken care of, the information, the guides, the exhibits. You can't come to this air zoo without feeling something about the amount of history you visually see. The aircraft alone can take your breath away, just imagining the machine when they were in their hayday and the lives that were changed from wars and tours. There are sections of the museum that will open your eyes to what some of the young men and women who served in wars and what they endured. This place bring you as close to the machines as possible. You get the insiders perspective from the outside. We have gone here a couple times and each time we walk away with more information and appreciation. With COVID still lingering social distancing is a must and mask wearing highly recommended. We went as soon as they opened and it was wonderful the lack of people made the experience of viewing the aircraft very intimate and the solitude very peaceful. We didn't feel rushed nor felt the need to engage except for the occasional button to press. They sanitize the exhibits regularly for those being touched and also have the cafe open should you get hungry. I recommend the caesar salad is was generous in portion and very delicious. My son had the turkey sandwich which was also a great portion. We purchased our meals ahead which was nice as once it turned lunch time we were hungry and the items were ready. The staff were amazing and helpful and just like anything else in this time frame be patient as low staff does affect businesses. I would recommend spending at least 4 hrs to seeing it all and go back in time from the exhibits. You will thank yourself for taking the time to appreciate the past.

We are from Iowa and are visiting family in the area, so we decided to check out the air zoo. My four year old loved the rides and all the interactive exhibits. The adults enjoyed all the cool old planes and learning about them. I enjoyed the androids section! Lots of fun stuff. Worth a visit. The volunteers are great too, very friendly and helpful.

We visited this with our four year old son and spent a few hours. There is so much to take in. We learned a ton. My son was able to ride the aircraft rides a few times and they were so fun. They also have a restoration center in a separate building where you can climb in the cockpit of a few different aircrafts. We ate lunch at the Kitty Hawk cafe and it was great food! I would definitely recommend! You could easily spend a whole day here.

Ooh boy where do we start…… What an amazing experience this was to see. My husband being military 20 years was blown away with how awesome this experience was. The three veterans at the front when you walk into the actual museum part were absolutely a joy to talk with. So much of a joy that we even took pictures with them. Pretty amazing how much they know about everything at the museum. They do a 50% off military discount which makes it super cheap and they do 15% off in the gift shop. What an amazing place for kids too. Tons of awesome rides, food, picnic areas just so beautiful there. I took sooooo many pictures but I don’t want to spoil it for you all to see. Must see in person truly.

This place is very unique and enjoyable for all ages. The kids love coming here because they have some really cute, clean, safe rides that they can enjoy. The lines are usually very small or even now wait. They keep the place very clean and tidy. The staff are friendly. There are so many things to do here. There are a lot of things that you can look at, some things to play with, some things to ride in, a movie theater, and a good mix of everything. I definitely recommend checking this place out! We bought a membership and the membership even gives you discounts on other museums.

Amazing! I cannot say enough good things about this place! It was the highlight of our trip to Kalamazoo! The staff was very friendly and incredibly helpful. The exhibits were fantastic and the fact that one price gets you everything once you're inside was awesome! My youngest son and I loved the flight simulators! It was a blast and truly fun for the whole family! If you are in the Kalamazoo area, I HIGHLY recommend a trip to the Air Zoo!

Do not miss this one! There is something for everyone here. We had a family group with ages 7 to 65 and there was plenty to keep everyone entertained. Kiddie rides, all the way to WWI history and before. Over 100 air planes and other vehicles. All in a very large, climate controlled building. The static displays were incredible. If you are someone in your group who has mobility issues, don't worry. They have you covered. Plenty of benches and easy access for all types of mobility devices. It's a fun day. It was not over crowded and there was lots of parking.

Found this gem place , 45 minutes from GR, the place is totally underrated , but thank god it was not crowded. So many air planes , helicopters, fighter planes from WW2 , Korean War , Vietnam war and much much more… There are 2 buildings , we could only cover 1 building as we went on a Sunday afternoon , there are some indoor rides for all ages… Tickets are $18 per adult. There is restrooms, cafe , souvenir shop… Staff is super friendly…

What an incredible place! Best air museum I’ve been to. $16 and we spent 3.5hrs there — if you love aviation, plan for 4+ hours here. Ran into a volunteer named Ed who was amazing - lots of stories and knowledge of aircraft. They could charge double and it would still be worth every penny.

We had a great time here!! It was a return visit for me and my husband though it had been years since our last one. Came on a Sunday and while it was a little busy it was not crowded. There were long waits for the simulators and the moon ride, the moon ride is understandable there's only 1, but there are 4 simulators and only 1 was going. We decided to skip them because of the wait. Did they need more help to run them? Not sure but that was a disappointment. Other than that our kids loved the other rides and everything to see! The WIC discount was super nice even though we were planning to pay full price! Will definitely return in the future.

I love anything and everything related to aviation and exploration. The Air zoo is a fun and enjoyable place for both new and old individuals. It is more relatable for the new generations with the small rides and also the VR simulations. This is a great place for a date on the whim if you have no where to go. I have included pictures also. The restoration team has done a fabulous job putting all the displays together.

This place was amazing do not miss it. The staff is super friendly and answered all our questions. There was so much to see and do and our kids didn’t want to leave. You can definitely spend the whole day here if you have younger kids. But big kids (adults included) will have a blast too! Also great picnic area if you want to bring a lunch.

A very outstanding place to learn about the history of flight in the military. The exhibits are amazing getting up close as well as having simulators to test visitors skills. Great price too. The staff was very welcoming and went out of their way to point out some of their favorite exhibits. Definitely a place to see when in Michigan.

Air Zoo is a different kind a of air museum that I have scene. It was well worth the price.   It has some rides for the kids.   Simulator was fun for us.  Different Plane we cool.   Each Area is a a little different and the wall artwork was amazing.  The information was for kids and adults.   My biggest complaint was that some of the workers knew nothing about the planes. I am not sure of the other building. It was an additive for the place.   It was Nice seeing the F-1117,  It had no real detail on the restoration side of the displays.

Very nice place to visit, veterans, first responders, and active military get half off price. Plan on being there a while as there's a lot to see. It's very interesting and informative. If you have questions on anything there's a very knowledgeable volunteer staff. Great place for young and old alike, they have flight simulators. Don't miss out on the flight Discovery Center just a short drive down the road as they have A unique restoration program where many planes have been restored and the workers who are restoring them are most happy to talk to you and answer any questions you might have about the restoration process. A must-see!

This event was amazing! We had so much fun. It was everything we hoped and more. The literal only downfall was how long the bar line got. Hope they do it again!! Will definitely be attending. ADDED SIDE NOTE: PLEASE PLEASE bring back the same DJ. He was INCREDIBLE!!!

I just visited the Air Zoo a few days ago with my fiancée. The staff are excellent in terms of providing further back stories to some of the exhibits currently displayed. Additionally, a well rounded experience for all ages to enjoy. A person can definitely spend 4+ hours at the museum without any problem, which is well worth the $18 per adult admission price.

One of the most enjoyable visits to any Air & Space museum we've had. Genuinely surprised at both the size of the facility and the quality of the displays. The volunteer staff was knowledgeable and enthusiastic... they all loved answering questions. They even gave us private tours inside some of the aircraft! I'll tell you, it's a special feeling when a vet walks up to you, asks if you want to go on board the aircraft you're ogling, and they reach down to that clip on the end of the rope to let you step inside history. Most highly recommended!!!

This place is great. Great for all ages, lots of things to see and do here. The staff are friendly and very knowledgable. Prices are not bad for all that you can see and do. 2 buildings so do t forget the second one, take a free shuttle or just drive over, if you have time walk there is a nice path with planes outside and a picnic area. Bathrooms always clean. Cafe on the second floor, and gift shop on the main. Fly flight simulators that go 360 degrees around, Farris wheel, hopper and other rides inside. Special exhibits come every now and then.

The experience was awesome worth every penny and the cost is pretty fair if I might add. The staff here are nice and very inviting, even the guys working in the aircraft restoration building took time to answer questions about the restorations they were working on, there is a lot of good History and science to learn at this museum. Definitely will plan on a return visit in the future !!! I you never have been here I recommend stopping and seeing the Air Zoo.

What an awesome experience for all ages. We had kids 6, 8 and 15 plus mom and dad. All enjoyed various different things. Lots of Artifacts, flight simulator and air

It is a fantastic place to go and spend an afternoon learning and seeing some incredible history, engineering, and various forms of aircraft. The flight simulators we're really fun and nothing is coller than a SR-71! It's a great option for homeschooling trips.

My son purchased this Newton’s Cradle from the Air Zoo gift shop and when we got it home, the spheres didn’t line up correctly so the cradle didn’t work properly. I contacted the Air Zoo and they were so prompt at shipping a replacement!! Thank you so much!! We had such a great time seeing all the planes and learned so much!!!

My husband and I stopped by during our weekend trip in Kzoo and really enjoyed the 2 hours we spent here. My husband especially did, and being able to sit in the F16 cockpit was really special for him. We had a great time talking to John about the SR71, my husband's favorite plane. My favorite exhibit was learning about the women pilots in WWII. There was so much history encapsulated in that one exhibit. We also enjoyed the WWII portion of the Air Zoo, there is a lot of important history inside of the exhibit and we enjoyed seeing relics of the past. Overall, it was a great way to knock out a few hours on a Sunday. The staff are really nice. I had a great time seeing Peter Parish's passion.

This air museum is one of a kind, with tons of unique air craft that you won't find anywhere else! Among the highlights is obviously the SR-71 trainer, the only one ever built. They also have the only XP-55 in existence. The museum has many more aircraft on display for you to walk around and look at, and have an exhibit in the back about World War 2 and the Guadalcanal campaign. The flight simulators they have here are also fantastic as long as you are tall enough to reach all the controls. Honestly one of the best museums in West Michigan, and one that I have enjoyed going to since I was a kid

All in all the place is amazing. Got to see alot of fighter jets, stealth jet and space capsules. We had the chance to try the simulator And had a great talk with one of the staff there about the Lockheed SR-71B. Everything was perfect, the illustrations were really informative.
