It's a land of lions and tigers and bears. {Oh my!} But it isn't the land of Oz. The Kalamazoo Air Zoo is a world of imagination and wonder, vibrant color and characters all its own: the Flying Tiger... Goony Bird... Tin Goose... and the flying feline foursome known as the Wildcat, Hellcat, Tigercat and Bearcat. |
Here is a "zoo" with a special magic; a place filled with the fantasy of flight and the mystery of history. A zoo whose "animals" are a multitude of man's magnificent flying machines, ranging from the pioneering Wright Flyer to the technologically-advanced Tomcat.
Inside the Air Zoo, the adventure continues full throttle, with an enormous array of options for the would-be aviator, ranging from a virtual reality ride in a flight simulator — complete with tilts, turns, wind and engine noise — to a KC-135 aircraft cockpit cutaway, in which visitors are invited to press the pedals, pull the throttle and push the buttons.
The Air Zoo is proud to house two halls of honor: The Michigan Aviation Hall of Fame, which lauds the lives and achievements of the state's many aviation pioneers, and the Guadalcanal Campaign Veterans Museum, which traces and commemorates the battle for Guadalcanal, a major turning point in World War II.
From rare and historical aircraft and artifacts to the World's Largest Hand-Painted Indoor Mural, there's always something new to discover at the Air Zoo. There are over 50 aircraft on display; you can walk through history, from World War II bombers to the modern SR-71B Blackbird. You'll be surrounded by awe-inspiring mural artwork from the floor up, including the World's Largest Indoor Mural! The Air Zoo is also home to a selection of fine artwork celebrating air and space flight.
