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
