The female store owner was so kind to me today! I telephoned the store last evening left a voice message. I stated I need to have two kites put together. The gracious owner called today advise me to come in before 4:00. She put the kites together and when I asked how much, can you believe she said nothing! I attempted to pay she continued to say no cost. My what a lovely kind act. I plan to share my experience and encourage others to purchase products from this store!

This is a cute little mom and pop shop that's the only game in town when it comes to stores exclusively devoted to kites (and windsocks, spinners and possibly a handful of other wind activated amusements I don't know the names for). Some friends of mine started something they dubbed Detroit Kite Club. As you might have guessed this involves people getting together and flying kites. I decided I wanted in and after perusing some kites online I opted to go to a brick and mortar outlet as I was going out to Ann Arbor and saw there was exactly one kite store in metro Detroit. The selection isn't huge. They didn't have the cool skeleton or bat kites I saw online. I did, however, get a fantastic large multicolored owl kite that garners positive comments just about every time I've flown it. (Usually at Metro Beach or Belle Isle.) The lady working there was super nice, too. I lost one of the plastic poles that hold my big technicolor owl together and misplaced my reel of kite string so I had to go back and the same lady cut me a new pole in short time after I showed her the one I needed and she didn't have quite the right length. She even gave me an extra free of charge just in case I lose another. And sold me a better reel than the first one I had - I believe this one is 500 feet. That owl can get way up there on a windy day if I let it all the way out. I haven't flown the owl yet this year. I'm planning on going to the U.P. with two other DKC members next month so maybe I'll bring it. They have a kite that looks like a squid. An owl and a squid hanging out - wacky! The Free Design once sang that Kites are Fun and they are. And this is where you can find fun Kites and fun things.

Huge selection. Fun visit. He was making some fantastic, original designs to take to a festival in Italy.

I haven't been to the store, but I've ordered online twice now. Each time I have called and received all the help I've needed. Order processing is fast, and the owners are very pleasant. I hope to stop by when I visit family in Michigan next.

What an excellent kite store and staff!!I have a stunt kite that broke years ago. I didnt know how to get exactly the right size replacement part, so I didnt get around to fixing it.Then I recently discovered Kites & Fun Things and so I took my kite to them.The staff were extremely helpful and took the time to measure the broken plastic part, worked with an aluminum part so it would fit, and now I have a working kite with a dar stronger connector!They also have an amazing selection of kitea and yard spinners. If you know a lady cyclist, they have the perfect present for her!

Thanks Jon and Marieanne for all your assistance on Friday. Had placed an order by e-mail to be picked up. Everything was ready once I got to the store, however the shopping wasn’t done! Had missed a few items that I should have placed on my list. They quickly gathered the items I had missed, gave a tour of the shop, chatted about some of the sport kites and about the kite festival. Fantastic people who take the time to understand your needs, and offer suggestions if your not sure on what you’re looking for.
