Kids love to scribble and draw. If your little ones have an artistic inclination, then foster that talent and maybe even inspire them with a visit to the Toledo Museum of Art. This impressive attraction features art that spans the historical sweep from the ancient to the modern. Many pieces are presented in various media that include pottery, sculpture and photography. There is also a fascinating section of exhibits that spotlight historical furniture and other artifacts.

Fans of nature and the great outdoors feel right at home at Toledo's Wildwood Preserve Metropark. This is one of the area's most visually stunning examples of a tall-grass prairie and all of the life and beauty that are associated with it. There are plenty of fun activities available here that include a boardwalk, a covered bridge, a 100-year-old schoolhouse and even a hiking trail that leads to the University Parks Trail.

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.
