Air Zoo to extend free general admission through 2009

Due to the overwhelming response by visitors, the Kalamazoo's Air Zoo has decided to extend its free general admission through the end of 2009, originally part of the Air Zoo’s 30th anniversary celebration—and the 5th anniversary of opening the Main Campus. The response to the celebration was incredible and during that time, more than 120,000 people from all 50 states and several foreign countries visited the museum.

The free general admission includes entrance to both the Main and East Campus, viewing all the aircraft, artifacts and artwork on display, plus admission to the 4D theater and the Space Walk. For those who would like to expand their experience even further, the rides, including the Montgolfier Balloon ride, Flying Circus Bi-Plane Ride, Full-Motion Flight Simulators, 3D Space Shuttle, Mars Adventure, Space Ball and Zero G are available for a modest charge. Ride tickets are available for $2 each and each ride takes only one or two tickets. Visitors may opt to purchase an ultimate ride pass for only $12.95 that allows unlimited rides all day long. Annual Passes are an exception value and allow visitors to enjoy the rides for no additional charge for an entire year.
