The fact that there are so many great nightclubs and bars to choose from in Toledo is impressive, but when you want a quieter, classier experience, make your way to the Bronze Boar. This retro-cool nightlife destination is located on the second floor of a registered historic building, and that brings an air of classic appeal to a place that features an already impressive variety of beers from around the world, a notable wine list and even a humidor with a great selection of cigars.
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.
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.
