Cincinnati Fire Museum - (513) 621-5553

A fun place to take the children. What kid doesn't like a firetruck? What kid doesn't like sliding down a fire pole?

The Cincinnati Fire Museum is one of my families favorite places. With my husband being a firefighter, everyone has to enjoy going! Their history of the city and the first paid fire department in the nation is fantastic. All of the pictures and gear are fun to look at and the experience is one you'll never forget. They also have some wonderful and unique items in their gift shop, including a hardback book with information on all the Cincinnati Firehouses and a new calendar.

We have visited the Fire Museum on several occassions both as a family and with both of my children's preschool and grade school classes. Each visit is more interesting and exciting. The children enjoy seeing the fire department related objects, while adults are intrigued by the history of fire departments especially the Cincinnati Fire Department. This is a family friendly place that has appeal for all ages. Go during their chili cook offs and other fun events. PROS: Great CONS:
