Imagination is something you never outgrow, and nowhere is that more obvious than at Toledo's Imagination Station. Formerly COSI, this amazing venue touts the wonders of science in a fun and highly interactive way. The kids will love the many experiments, exhibits and attractions that will draw them into and make them part of various scientific principles, but they will also enjoy some of the special features here like Mindbender Mansion and various summer camp programs. There are also special tour packages available to groups and area schools.
Make history as a couple by revisiting some aquatic history when you both pay a visit to the SS Col. James M. Schoonmaker museum ship in Toledo. This vessel has been a vital part of Toledo's skyline as it is moored near the city's International Park. This impressive ship has been said to be the world's largest bulk freighter, and it is a mighty example of engineering function and artistic style. It has since been renamed the Willis B. Boyer Museum Ship. Its maritime heritage awaits you when you step on board and experience this symbol of a bygone era.
