It's true that every museum has a mission. The Toledo Firefighters Museum is not only meant to underscore the vast contributions of generations of firefighters, but to also bring much-needed attention to the issue of fire prevention and safety. This unique museum was founded in 1976 as a way of honoring the local firefighters, but its scope and significance goes beyond the city limits of Toledo. Learn about how important it is to keep your home and business safe as well as experience several multimedia and interactive exhibits.

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.
