They have sooo many fun activities and games, axe throwing, bowling, go-karts, a restaurant, and a huge variety of exciting arcade games. The whole place feels modern, lively, and really well designed. I genuinely loved the experience, and I feel like having a place like this in Kalamazoo/Portage area is such a nice upgrade for the city. It adds something fresh and entertaining that we really needed. Definitely one of the most enjoyable spots I've visited lately, and I will absolutely be coming back again!

I was really excited to bring my granddaughter here a couple of weeks ago…read more We walked in and there was no one in front of us, so we were first in line. We stood there watching two of the three employees helping others, so I approached the third employee at the counter. I explained it was our first time and asked if she could help us. Evidently that was not her job, but instead of explaining that, she said we had to "get back in line." Umm, at this point other people had gotten in line, but we were not asked to go back to the front. We were expected to go back to the end, evidently. We simply left, and I emailed this company what happened while driving a go-kart with my granddaughter at Airway. They didn't bother to answer.

We did get to see the sculpture garden, which was really cool. The overlook area is a must see area because you can see a lot of the park from there from a great vantage point. We tried to drive to see other areas of the arboretum but the signs were too confusing to follow. I can't wait to go back and explore more of the Leila Arboretum Society!

We always wander through here at the Art Hop, although they were closed for the August hop. I was a little bummed because they had several new mobile/sculptures that looked like some sort of pom-pons or Fraggles hanging from the ceiling I would've liked a closer glance at (fortunately, since their walls are floor-to-ceiling windows you can still get a great glimpse of the artwork when they're closed both from the Kalamazoo Mall itself and the hallway leading to Down Dog Yoga).

This is such a great free museum! Nate and I were in town recently and wanted something to do, so…read morewe stopped in. We were greeted at the front desk and given the layout of the museum. I love that they have free lockers to store your coat and personal items. Really handy as we had our winter coats on. The museum has a few special exhibits as well as a permanent collection that includes a ton of information on the history of Kalamazoo, a mummy, and a planetarium. (The planetarium show is $3 per person.) We learned about the Kalamazoo State Hospital and explored the super cool traveling exhibit Skin: Living Armor, Evolving Identity. I learned a lot about animals' skin and their adaptations, how skin has informed technology, and how skin has affected people historically in terms of racism and prejudice. There are a few interactive elements to the exhibit but I think it would be best for middle school kids and up. The museum overall was well kept and for the most part had working installations. I saw some kids playing and the history of Kalamazoo was really interesting. It took us about two hours to explore the museum. It's not a place I need to go every time I'm in Kalamazoo, but I would say if you're a local and have never been, you should check it out. Or if you're visiting and looking for an indoor activity!

I was surprised to see so many cool new things like a small diner, a storyboard, sounds machines, wind tunnels. It was really cool! Some of the local favorites were still there. Including the mummy which we just had to check out. After looking at that we went and played a game of fact or opinion! We didn't even realize we'd played for hours and hours. Time really does fly when you're having fun!

Floor to ceiling windows offer a great view of the artwork whether the gallery is open or closed. The current exhibition by Lissa Hahn is phenomenal -- work that explores movement in photography that creates a textured, 3-D effect without any photoshopping. Her use of super-vivid colors, vibrant photography treatments (such as archival dye sublimation transferred onto aluminum) and the incredible lighting ensured I spotted her exhibition yesterday from a half-block away (and indeed, spotted the artist herself from across the intersection and had to pop in to compliment this peacock of a person on her beautiful outfit and she turned out to be the exhibitor herself.) This is my favorite exhibition I've seen in downtown Kalamazoo in quite some time. 3-D glasses are available for viewing but I have depth perception issues and didn't find they made the pictures pop more for me than they already did. This exhibition is a must-see if you're in downtown Kalamazoo!

When it's nice outside, there are tons of trails and lots of exploring to be done. We typically start inside, and then we hit the trails. Lots of birds to see and streams to play in.
