Flying In?

The Air Zoo's East Campus is located just off the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport (AZO) grounds. In fact, we even have our own ramp and airplane parking space.

If you would like to fly your personal aircraft to visit the Air Zoo, just land at AZO and ask the control tower to direct you to the Air Zoo's ramp. From there, you'll enter through our observation lounge door and you'll need to register at the Fly Buy counter as a fly-in.
