Wish the Slavery exhibit was bigger, we can really learn a lot and should. However, the exhibit was worth it, being free. The plants exhibit was very, very nice!

My kids always enjoy going to the Kalamazoo Valley Museum on rainy days! There is so much for them to do and touch! Also, the top floor exhibit changes every the months so it always feels new and exciting!

Very knowledgeable and had very fun activities. Great place to about airforce and our history.

Great place to bring your kids to learn about our history

We stopped to this museum on our way back to Toronto. What an amazing experience! Our 3 yrs old kid loved it. We ended up spending more than 2 hours exploring and being amazed by what this little museum has to offer. It is a hidden gem. As a tip: spend the 3 dollars per person and attend one of the shows on the planetarium. It is totally worth it. And as a bonus: the entrance is completely FREE!

A great local museum. It has a real mummy and everything!

I love this place!!! The real history of Kalamazoo. All the good old stuff with a checker cab too. A great way to tell the story of our city. My favorite display is the mummy. She hasnt changed a bit since I was a kid. Still looking good olgirl!!

Our little grandkids beg us to take them to the museum....from working in the restaurant, doing a news cast and exploring all the new things on the 3rd floor! ( Math this time), Its a fun place to learn something new through play. Our favorite this time was making paper airplanes and using a machine to launch them clear across the room! The laughs and giggles as they ran after their planes was the greatest!

Such a great spot to spend a cold afternoon. We went for the Planetarium show and it was great. Maren was knowledgeable and gave a noteworthy guide to the night sky. I highly recommend stopping in!!

Awesome museum and resource for Kalamazoo. The exhibits are well-thought out, well-kept, and most importantly, FUN! Great place for family members of all ages.

What fun! Varied creative and historic and educational exhibits--all inviting and interactive. Very family friendly, from toddlers to seniors. Free entry!

We love it here! Always something new to see and do. Great for all ages. Lots of hands-on activities.

New- in the midst of rejuvenating downtown Kalamazoo; perfect for a rainy/too cold day visit. Three stories of exhibits for all ages (handicap accessible) admission was free! Giant round screen video in the planetarium-(small fee). Will definitely visit again.

Great Museum. Lots of displays for children

Very informative and fun. I liked the third floor of the museum very much. It has puzzles which can keep you busy for hours. Also the museum is located in downtown which is a nice place to roam around.

The dangerous plants exhibit was really cool and very informative. Museum is great overall. Bathrooms were clean. I will be back next time I am in Kalamazoo.

Very nice little museum. We went to hear Laura Briley give an excellent Sunday afternoon talk on climate change. Very comfortable auditorium and we were able to borrow a wheel chair for my mom. Surprised there was no entrance fee for such a nice facility.

A great place to learn about the abundant history of Kalamazoo! Kids area was newly renovated and its fantastic. Hands on and tons to see. Free but donations accepted, we always toss a 10 or so. Always a good idea to support our local museum!

I was here for the story tellers event it was spectacular. It was such a learning event. I love love coming to the museum . It is always so well taken care of. Thank Kalamazoo Valley Staff and all your Volunteers.

Went to see the Pink Floyd planetarium show. It was fantastic! The staff was helpful and super friendly. The seats were comfortable and the sound and visuals were high quality!

Great way to spend 4-5 hours. Free admission to museum plus decent price for planetarium (boiling hot in planetarium though) Close parking garage and lunch spots. Perfect for homeschool field trips.

The Kalamazoo Valley Museum is always so much fun! Although she loved it when she was younger, I was concerned that my 12-year-old would feel like she was too old to enjoy it. Not true! She still enjoyed every minute! We were also very lucky to get an entire planetarium show to ourselves and got a little extra attention from our host because we were the only ones there. What a great day!!!

This place was amazing! Great exhibits about Kazoo and all it has done for Michigan, the US, and the world! Professional exhibits, great for kids, teens, and adults! Total bonus... FREE!!

Cant say enough positive about the Kalamazoo museum and its staff. Took my children there when they were growing up, and now accompanied my grown children as they take their children there. Always a very friendly and positive experience. Thank you Kalamazoo Valley Museum.

Lots of interactive things for both children and adults, play room for youngsters up to age 5. New exhibit comming up. The wikid plants exhibit was pretty cool. My family enjoyed that exhibit. Picked a bad day to go due to 2 different schools being there but fun none the less

Such a nice place. Great for kids and adults alike.

Terrific, FREE!, museum. Great rotating and permanent exhibits. Always something interesting to learn. The planetarium always has some fun and educational shows. Great staff, too, always helpful and informative.

Great place to take the kids..... they can touch anything and theres something that interests every age.....took a 5 year old and 10 year old and they both LOVED it..... best thing is that its a FREE day!!! With 3 floors of awesomeness, you cam spend almost a whole day there.... you can spend just a few bucks and see a planetarium show, too!!!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

My daughter and I had great time learning from the exhibits here. Great experience and it was free to get in. There are hands-on demos and plenty to read about. The cultural history of Kalamazoo is always a great exhibit to walk through. I would definitely recommend the Kalamazoo Valley Museum for anyone looking for a fun trip for younger children.

Love visiting everytime we see the family. The upstairs changes often and the mind puzzle this last time was great fun!!!

Great place for the whole family and its free

Wonderful place for all ages. Free admission and only $3 for the planetarium shows. Downtown location makes it easy to find. Third floor exhibits change every few months and are always interesting. Museum staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

Rotating exhibits are phenomenal. Stationary exhibits also dope.ONE bit of constructive criticism (cant be to harsh on a place with automated banjos), the storytimes should improve or stop.

What a nice fretboard festival. Should have more communication though from the teachers other then that excellent!!!

The exhibits were well done and family friendly. We had a blast with our seven-year-old!

Saw Wicked Plants exhibit. Very interesting. Planetarium is a plus to the museum. Lots of kids hands on exhibits.

The price is one of the best things about this museum. It is free! But you wouldnt be able to tell judging from the displays. They have a wide variety of high quality displays. It is great for kids and adults. It is one of my favorite places to visit in Kalamazoo.

We have brought all our grandchildren here since its been open.

Amazing free museum! Great for the kids.

The wicked plants exhibit was fun and informative. My favorite thing this visit was the wall of drums, so so cool.

The Kalamazoo valley museum is a wonderful place to take friends family and kids. Rainy days this is the place to be. Very educational and fun!

Took my 4 granddaughters to the museum for the Bee exhibit and the carnival experience. They had a great time interacting with both. Very educational.

Such a wonderful place to take your children a great learning environment

Great family fun in a learning environment.

This is a great fun time for the kiddos. I love this museum

I think its wonderful to have something so amazing and educational right here in Kalamazoo for the children and adults too. As a grandmother of a thirty-year-old as well as a seventh month old I feel blessed to even be able to bring my children here for so many generations.

Great place to visit

This is an amazing museum. They offer everything to strike the curiosity and interest of anyone from baby to elder. I love taking my kids here because they can easily spend hours having a blast and still have a hard time leaving when its time to go home. The staff are friendly and attentive which is definitely a plus. They have 3 levels of great stuff to look at, read up on, and learn about. Best of all, its free!

Great place for children and adults. Lots to see and do; love the planetarium. Fun time!

Very neat place for a free museum. Had interactive activities for the littles and a special play area for kids under 5. The special/seasonal exhibit on the third floor was nothing special though.

I enjoyed seeing the new stuff they added and know one of the person that help contribute to the museum

Wonderful museum, especially for kids. Theyve done some excellent redesign of the exhibits. Very engaging for kids of diverse ages. My favorite is still the mummy exhibit, but my youngling liked the sounds & science activities.

My family loves this place. Best part, its free to get in!

Great for young kids. They have a under 5 years room. Great hands-on for older kids too!

Free admission and my young kids (2 and 4 yrs old) love going here. Very hands on learning museum, Kalamazoo is lucky to have this here for families. Parking is paid next door, so youll need to shell out a few bucks for that, but thats it.

Lots of activities for kiddos. My 2 year old nephew enjoyed the Childrens Landscape.

My two neices had a blast from today since they been out of school for going on the second week now

Neat way to spend some time around town

Excellent presentation and customer service. Free admission and very cheap shows. Interesting exhibits. Wish I could have spent more time there. Couldnt recommend more highly.

Very cool museum, hands on and informative. Loved the deadly plants exhibit.

Thousands of things to explore and learn and its all free!! Very cool place to go to, for young and old.

Awesome aviation museum. The best one the weve been to for children. Super friendly staff and volunteers.

Amazing place, there is even an area where toddlers can play with a museum guide. The exhibits are almost all hands on, very kid friendly. Bring a lunch or walk somewhere downtown. Admission is free, but finding parking can be difficult.

Lots of fun exhibits for kids here. A fun little museum.

Great place to blow a couple hours with younger children. Being mostly free definitely a plus.

I love this place. We took our grand daughter and she had as much fun as I did. Im a little kid inside...lol

My daughter in law did storytelling there! Great performance!

Fun activities and a great private collection. Love the Gibson and other local Kzoo collections!

Lots of fun things for the kids to do!! Even the adults had a blast and it is totally worth $3 person to watch the show at the planetarium!

If you have kids this is a must place to visit in Kalamazoo specially in winter since, its all indoors... Parking easy over the weekend... So many things to explore for kids in all ages.... You can easily spend the whole day here.... Explore the museum in the morning, go out for lunch and get back to watch a show in the Planetarium.

Wonder place for little children. We go frequently and always have a great time.

Awesome museum with interesting rotating exhibits and lots of great history about Kalamazoo and the surrounding area. Every time we go we learn something new and interesting. Very highly recommended!

My children enjoyed the new exhibits. And, we will be back during Spring Break 2020.
