Toledo's Libbey Glass Factory Outlet Store is known by many as "The Glass Capital of the World." When you walk into this stunning compendium of glass, you will be able to get a brief history of the company that was founded in 1870 by William L. Libbey who developed the first glass-making machine. Today, this company is the leading producer of glass tableware and ceramic dinnerware for the North American food service industry, as well as exporting glass to over 100 countries. In addition to offering an incredible number of items for sale, there are historically significant displays and even tours available upon request.

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.

There's nothing quite like getting up close to some of the world's most fascinating animals, and the kids will love doing that at the African Safari Wildlife Park. This is not a typical zoo-type experience. This is an actual breeding animal park which offers a completely different and unique way to see some of your favorite wildlife. Kids will enjoy feeding the animals, seeing the hilarious pig races, and even being a part of the various animal shows. Plus, don't miss the incredible alpaca and llama exhibit, which is the largest exhibit of its kind in the United States. Also, make sure to see the rare giant eland, the biggest antelope in the world, is quite possibly the park's most popular exhibit.
