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.
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!!!
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. Price for entry: $20
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
