Toledo School for the Arts

Toledo's Wolcott House Museum affords you the opportunity to step back into the 1800s to get a taste of what life was like back then. This home that has been carefully restored into the museum it is today illustrates what its original inhabitants, John and Mary Wolcott, experienced on a daily basis. This is a stunning Federal-style structure that dates back to the 1830s and features art, furniture and other items that give an even more detailed picture of a domestic setting. This museum also features several adjacent structures that include a log home that once stood on the banks of the Miami and Erie Canals, an 1840s-style farmhouse, a railroad depot, a church and an 1840s Greek-style home.

The whole family will go wild for the wildlife that you will encounter at the Toledo Zoo. The attraction has the distinction of being the country's most complete zoo, meaning that the animals that are kept here in their natural habitats most represent the many species found in the natural environment. See favorites like hippos, giraffes, polar bears, tigers, lions, monkeys and many more. There are also various seasonal events held here as well as an impressive summer concert series.
