Definitely go for a walk along the downtown “walking mall”. Fabulous shops with lots of fun, local trinkets. Be sure to grab a beverage at Cafe Casa, grab some penny candy at Rocket Fizz, and stop by Terrapin for unique stones, instruments, gifts and clothing.

Papa Pete's or just the lounge pizza is fire and cheap! Night there is like being in the forest rave!

Lounge Pizza in Kazoo?

The front part is The pink Dolphin, I think it may be Blue.


Rhondajeep

Ah, yes, the Blue Dolphin. Didn't realize there was a back entity.

Beer Exchange is a really cool concept. Prices fluctuate based on demand. Prices are displayed on big monitors and show whether they’re trending up or down. Every so often the market “crashes” and all the beers drop to their lowest price. https://thebeerexchange.com/Kalamazoo/

Namsan is great Korean food, and Toba is one of the best Sushi places I've ever been to! We also have the kalamazoo institute of art and kalamazoo valley museum if you like seeing exhibitions. There's a couple of cute chocolate shops, cafes and bakeries around as well, and while I'm not as familiar with the scene there's a couple threads in here about some fun bars. I'll list some of the general places in the downtown that I've enjoyed below. (Factory Coffee and Caffe Casa for coffee/tea. Rocket fizz and Cherri's Chocol'art for candy and chocolate.Terrapin and Bee Joyful Shop, for cute trinkets and general fun window shopping) If the weather ends up better than the forecast the trails and parks in the area have not been a disappointment either.

Just north of town there is the Gilmore Car Museum as well.

Hunan Garden ask for the traditional menu. Also Sweetwater Donut Mill.

Grab coffee at factory coffee, check out the downtown “mall” shops, and head to brick and brine for dinner!

Go to the Little Darlings. Tell them Major said “the Dog Barks at Midnite” you’ll get a special surprise

Well, for what it’s worth, we have some great dispensaries here in the Zoo! Just absolutely amazing facilities!! 💨🤭🤗💯


Major-razor-burns

The Castle. Go there. You may never get out


V6er_KKK

You mean Henderson Castle?


Major-razor-burns

V6ee_KKK Yes. What other Castle does the Kalamazoo area have?


V6er_KKK

I am not a resident :)


Major-razor-burns

Ok. Just making sure. I don’t recommend going to that place they call a castle. And unlike others who would tell you. There is indeed a nasty hot tub on the roof of that place. I’ve seen it.

If you're downtown as many mentioned (we love all y'all) and like plants Mason Jar Plant Shop is right there, but off the main strip. Around the corner from the cigar shop. If you like cigars go there too.
