The kids love running up and down the stairs and seeing all the exhibits that are around the stairs. I really like the traveling exhibits that come through as they are interactive. There are normal exhibits too but they are most often geared toward slightly older children as young ones do not have the patience to read and/or listen to... More

Nice hands on exhibits for the younger set, and a nice historical area for the young at heart. Very well done, and FREE.

We had a couple of hours to kill so we thought we would check out the museum. I was surprised to find no entrance fee! (They do accept donations, which I willingly did.) The museum is on 3 levels, but it has an elevator. The exhibits were informative and fun - many of them are hands on, which our child... More

Went to the Story Telling Festival. It was a good time and the museum was very nice. Definitely worth checking out!

My sister started bringing her son when he was a toddler... More

Special craft activities offered during the New Year holiday that we spent just a bit of time in the actual permanent galleries, but we will definitely return with our young family. Definitely worth the 50 minute trip... More

On the weekends they have special movies and... More

My kids love this place and I do too! Great events and cool things to see! We go about once a month or so and there is always something new going on. Check it out, price can't be beat!

The museum is decent sized for being in downtown Kalamazoo. It is big enough to take a couple hours to go through. It has an area for kids to interact with some games. It is clean and well kept. I’m not really a museum person, but it is a nice place to check out.
