  A fascinating museum with colorful kites from all around the world including a display about WWII kites. Worth the admission fee.

  This is a great choice for those who are interested in all things kite. Nostalgia and info. A great resource for those interested in the history of kiting. It used to be free but now sports a minimal charge for entry. A must stop for serious kite-heads. Fly, be free.

  Wonderful exhibit of kites from Japan and other nations. The one that caught most people's eye that was in my group of 14, were the kites that were used during World War ll. The information was fantastic to learn.Admission rates are very reason able for all, especially seniors and children.

  Many kites and accessories. Cool place. I didn't realize there were so many different styles. The people were very friendly there.

  We toured the Kite Museum on a rainy day in July. It was not busy so we took our time reading facts, watching videos and looking at all the kites on display. Learned a lot of interesting facts about kites. Enjoyable...well worth it.

  This is well worth the stop. If you have ever flown a kite, you will like this Museum. We spent a couple hours with our grandchildren. They were not bored and seemed to enjoy it as well. They can even make a kite. There is so much that kites have been used for that we did not previously know. Great on those rainy dark days

  saw awesome sections of hanging Japanese kites and Chinese kites, a collection of posters from the annual kite festivals, and watched a couple having fun in the build your own kite section. Very nice gift shop with a knowledgeable and friendly staff person. The displays are different each time I visit. I found a colorful windsock for a toddler this time : )

  I wanted to take my Girl Scout troop in, but it was just too expensive. We need to get the prices lowered or a discount for groups.

  You don't have to be a kite lover or kite nut to enjoy this place. We lucked out and caught the last day of a video exhibit of kite ballet and the interview with the world champ. Amazing how he can make three kites dance and swirl and twirl into patterns and forms with such grace and beauty. There was a screening area there, so it may be possible to request videos to be shown.The upstairs section about the use of kites in wartime down through the centuries was likewise fascinating. Whether you are into kites or not, seeing how they were used in various wars as decoys, training devices, radar interrupters and is likely to be eye opening. It certainly was for us. And just the display of the various kite designs worldwide, with their amazing styles and colors from dragons to spaceships, was far more interesting than I expected it would be.It seemed like amazing value for the modest $4 senior entry fee and prices at the gift shop were about the same or better than in town, seemed like. I'm always glad to support an all volunteer museum where people are involved for their love of the enterprise with my purchases.

  This museum is great for kids and adults. It has some activities that let the kids take away a small kite and they also get some touch and feel opportunities. Adults get a little history and cultural lesson learning about the meaning and use of kites in different cultures. I especially enjoyed seeing the incredible art of kite making, especially the horse kite. I would love to see what it looks like flying through the air. I also found the kite fighting competitions and the use of kites in WWI pretty interesting.
