Kalamazoo Holiday Packages

Halfway between heavyweights Chicago and Detroit, our Kalamazoo holiday packages are your gateway to America’s most-loved pastimes (sports, beer and food, of course!).

Things to Do in Kalamazoo

Kalamazoo packages are more than just a funny name—the city offers tons of indoor and outdoor recreation. Hit the trail at Kalamazoo Nature Center, where you’ll find 16 km of paths through prairies and forests. You’ll be “rapt” at the Kalamazoo Valley overlook from the Raptor Ridge Trail, or be a trailblazer through the Pioneer Woods. One of the first nature centres in America, it has tons of programs for adults and children alike, from Creature Feature encounters to yoga.

Hop back in your Kalamazoo car hire (from Wotif, naturally) and head south to enjoy a picnic lunch among the fountains, blooms and flower sculptures in Bronson Park downtown, then take an art break at the nearby Kalamazoo Institute of Arts to check out works by famous artists like Dale Chihuly and Andy Warhol. The Kalamazoo Valley Museum is also nearby, where you can see classic American pioneer art and artefacts. Plus its planetarium is really out of this world!

A holiday in Kalamazoo is a great place to discover America’s favourite beverages: beer and wine! Michigan has a celebrated “beer-story,” and Kalamazoo has been brewin’ up suds since 1837. You’ll find plenty of breweries along East Kalamazoo Avenue and Michigan Avenue; take a few tours for the full experience. If you prefer vino, “wine” down in the local vineyards, where you can uncork your creativity and blend your very own vintage. Now that’s a souvenir!

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Kalamazoo’s downtown may surprise you—this vibrant area has some funky Art Deco touches, along with specialty shops (try the cheese!), antiques and made-in-Michigan sweaters (so you know they’re warm). You can also find plenty of local eats downtown, not to mention friendly residents happy to tell you all about what’s on your plate. For example, the state leads the nation in production of tart cherries, blueberries and cucumbers—who knew? You’re also likely to find Coney dogs (a hot dog that must be tried to be believed), fish fries and fudge. On Kalamazoo holidays, you’re sure to be full…of happiness.

When the sun goes down, it’s easy to find spots to get things heated up (or just chill out with a pint). Live music, karaoke, comedy clubs and theatre options abound. If you’re already downtown, just walk outside! If you really want to burn up the dance floor, a quick search for Chicago holiday packages may be in order. “The Windy City” is just a 2-hour train ride west and is a great complement to your Midwestern getaway.
