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 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.

Make history as a couple by revisiting some aquatic history when you both pay a visit to the SS Col. James M. Schoonmaker museum ship in Toledo. This vessel has been a vital part of Toledo's skyline as it is moored near the city's International Park. This impressive ship has been said to be the world's largest bulk freighter, and it is a mighty example of engineering function and artistic style. It has since been renamed the Willis B. Boyer Museum Ship. Its maritime heritage awaits you when you step on board and experience this symbol of a bygone era.
