Your sweet tooth won't have to wait too long to be satisfied when you pay a visit to Boyd's Retro Candy.

The Maumee River, a short twelve-mile drive away from Toledo, is the perfect place to make a splash on your aquatic recreation adventure. Enjoy water sports like kayaking, whitewater rafting as well as fishing and even swimming in the warmer months of the year.
The Toledo Botanical Garden is a benchmark against which similar gardens are measured throughout the country, and with good reason. This is considered to be one of the pioneering gardens because of its dramatically beautiful visual and natural presentation. Fragrant meadows of sunflowers and wildflowers, rose gardens, herb gardens and sharply manicured walkways make spending time here something special for the entire family. Also, the kids will especially love visiting the recreated pioneer garden which many consider to be one of the site's main attractions.
