They also offer group discounts and birthday party options.
We have been to a lot of Fire museums both nationally and internationally and this was the a very nice little museum. A firefighter will take you through to your the few tricks they have and let the kids ring the bells for fun. There is also a nice interactive exhibit of a burned room, which is educational and teaches kids the importance of fire safety. The play area is clean and well maintained, with a fire pole and two different tricks to pretend to drive. I also liked the interactive fire hydrant, the first we have seen. Plenty of free parking in the driveway but also paid street parking is available. All in all it is a good activity and I would say good for anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours.
I pretty much grew up in this Engine House as it was being restored. My dad is currently the President and was the previous Columbus fire historian (until he retired from the Columbus Fire Department). This place is a gem and definitely worth a trip. The volunteers will take you on a guided tour and answer any questions you have. There’s a play area for kids and display rooms that show what items look like after a fire. They go all out for birthday parties and receptions held here. I really can’t say enough about this wonderful place. I may be a bit bias, but I know how much love has gone into the restoration of this museum and think everyone should visit at least once!
The staff welcomed us at the door and let the kids ring a 100 year old bell! The fireman dressed in his gear and explained how it protects him. They had a great display of a home and fire hazard. They kids loved the play area and books about firetrucks. The Museum offers birthday party options too.
The tour was great and interesting. The tour guide knew what he was talking about and kept us engaged.
History, fun, and amazing volunteers. We are from phoenix arizona and this was our top priority to see. It exceeded our expectations
