Great museum. Tours guided by actual firefighters from around the Columbus, OH area. Everyone was very personable and knowledgeable. Full review by Robert E

The museum was not on my radar, until my Lyft driver drove by it. I have visited the Art Museum, German Town, North Station, and other fun spots, but this tops it all! It would be fun for youngsters,… Full review by johngA6275MZ

Usual old apparatus, insurance badging, fire pictures, bell tower. The heartmobile was very unique. The best is the education section. The Burned Items Room and the Safety Kitchen was well done. The … Full review by msjulie22
Do you have to make an appointment? My wife and son who is 3 1/2 years old love fireman and fire trucks! Also his grandparents are visiting out of state this weekend.

The museum is open daily Tues-Sat 10 to 4 with the last tour starting around 3 pm. No appointment is necessary and we start tours as needed. It is fun for the whole family and you will learn history and important fire safety information. At 3 1/2 we will talk to the child's attention span and interest with touching fire tools and trucks and ringing bells. If they start to lose interest then we will proceed to the play area where children can drive a full size fire truck with light and siren, dress up in boots, coat and helmet, slide a real fire pole, play with hoses and drive a simulator aerial ladder from the rear using a video TV. Plan on a minimum of 30-45 minutes. A gift shop is available with child items and shirts. Free parking on our premises. $3 next door in the pay lot and .75 an hour on meters. Admission $4 child, $5 senior/military, $6 adults. For the best experience, call 614 464 4004 to see if there is a large tour or birthday party that day that would affect parking and maybe have a crowded play area at a certain time. I am not close to a schedule to check for you. We look forward to seeing you, and giving the little one a free helmet when they leave. Bill/Executive Director
