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.

While it may be true that history is all around us, sometimes you have to travel a bit to get to it. That is the case with Sauder Farm and Craft Village. Located about an hour's drive outside of Toledo, this historical attraction vividly demonstrates what rural life was like in Ohio back in the 1800s. Visit a blacksmith, a potter, and a general store as well as a popular quilt shop. There are also many historic homes and picturesque gardens that you can stroll through. And, if you get hungry, enjoy a delicious meal at the nearby Barn Restaurant.
