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.

Even though its name may suggest something low key and quiet, Frankie's Inner City Lounge is anything but sedate. This is one of Toledo's premier nightlife venues for new and alternative rock and features a powerful combination of live bands and DJs every night of the week. The mood changes from night to night depending on what band or musical theme is on the menu, ranging from guitar bands on Tuesdays, open mic night on Wednesdays and industrial and Gothic music on Fridays. A cool, happening and loud place, Frankie's is not for the fainthearted.

The Toledo Ballet has always had a good reason to dance. This entertainment group has been maintaining its impressive tradition of stunning, impressively choreographed performances for over 70 years and there is no sign of stopping. In addition to presenting works that are based on the classics, the ballet also incorporates modern touches to different presentations throughout their season. This includes elements of jazz, hip-hop, and musical theater that all work to not only challenge the dancers to new levels of performance, but also appeals to a wider audience who otherwise may not have ever thought of catching one of the ballet's mesmerizing performances.
