How, you ask? The Kalamazoo Air Zoo in Michigan. It's filled with all sorts of aircraft, just fantastic to look around. Until October, it's free to look around.
Also nearby is the Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek, which is effing huge and filled with all sorts of animals, including giraffes and red pandas!

So, SE++, what cool attractions do you have nearby?

    if you like that sort of thing, take a trip out to Osh Kosh, WI for the air museum

    and I'm right near the US' first nuclear submarine and the USCG museum, both seriously cool

    If I was old enough to be able to ride dinosaurs I would be Druhim.

    Also, I'm more of a saber-tooth tiger or the short-faced bearfan myself.

    Does New Orleans as a whole or Bourbon St. count as an attraction?

    Regardless, the D-Day Museum, Audubon Zoo and Aquarium of the Americas are there.
