    The kids' area of The History Museum is located downstairs, and it's super fun for little kids…read more There are lots of interactive things to do, like play in a pretend grocery store, ride in a canoe, ride in a wagon, build a pretend fire. On certain days, they have activities for kids down there. On the main floor are the permanent and rotating exhibits. Some of them are bigger and more interesting than others, but all of them give you some information about Indiana history. There was an exhibit for the Teachers Credit Union, which at first I thought was odd, but it's interesting that they chose that topic to highlight, and I learned things I never knew about Indiana's credit union. There is a (free and optional) tour of Oliver Mansion offered at the museum, which goes a couple of times per day. We didn't have time to tour the mansion this time, but you can see the outside of it from the museum, and it looks vintage and huge (just like I like my old houses). Connected to The History Museum is the Studebaker Museum, which is a separate entry fee.

    Lots of stunningly beautiful card! I kearned a lot about the history of the Studebaker family, as…read morewell as the many types of vehichles they produced in America. We arrived too late to tour the Oliver Mansion (tours are at 1:00 and 3:00), but did learn that our 2-day tickets are valid for two days tgat is to say that 2 days do not have to be 2 consecutive days. So save your receipts.

    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!

    It's been many, many years since I've been to the museum. I was very proud to show my friend and…read moreher little one. The building of wonders and artifacts. 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!
