With cool, family friendly exhibits like Popnology, kids rides, and interactive demonstrations, the Air Zoo really is one of the coolest places in Southwest Michigan. It's so much more than restored places, and beautiful murals; the Air Zoo combines science, technology, and fun to bring learning about aerospace down to earth.
