    I had a couple hours to spare in the area and went here on a whim ... what a pleasant surprise! Who knew there was so much thoughtfully curated art in Toledo? I learned about new artists, saw some familiar ones, and found myself really engaged with the labels and the questions they posed. The special exhibit on Marisol was extraordinary and the museum's curation of an exhibit raising questions about how art has contributed to or challenged American myths should be a model for other museums. And then there is the glass blowing demonstration: if you're there at the right time, by all means go! I've been to hot shop demonstrations in several other places and the commentator here far surpassed the more famous ones. The gift shop has some wonderful work by local artists and the cafe served a delicious salad. If I lived anywhere nearby, I'd be here often!

    For being the fifth most extensive animal collection in the United States with 720 species, it's a tad underwhelming. But the Toledo Zoo is a great family outing nonetheless, and quite a sprawling property.

    Parking is efficient considering the plethora of daily guests and the zoo itself is laid out in a logical manner. Highlights (on paper) would include very rare animals like tigers, rhinos, and red pandas. But on our three visits, the tigers and red pandas were perpetually in hiding while only one rhino appeared. So the zoo is doing their part to preserve rare species, but you probably won't see them.

    Actual highlights include a large elephant exhibit, feeding giraffes for an extra fee, the impressive reticulated python and green anaconda, and an impressive array of giants like the hippo, many gorillas and Kodiak bears, and a spectacular pack of polar bears.

    My husband and I enjoyed visiting the museum. They have many exhibits to tell you the history of shipping in the Great Lakes. They have many artifacts from the Edmund Fitzgerald which my husband saw when it was first launched in Detroit.

    Wow! Just a bit out of town, and it's HUGE! Lots of choices of what to do and where to go. Parking was plentiful and there were very few people around. Got to see a heron just waiting for supper.

    Going to the park is always a fun time and brings friends and family together. It’s the local team so go and give them your support.

    Amazing, amazing! My two boys (10 and 6) spent 4 hours and could have stayed longer. With two levels of so many things to do, kids won’t get bored. We didn’t even add the video, 3d ride or Dino exhibit.

    Wildwood is one of Toledo’s beautiful metro parks. So many paths to walk and run on. Lots of trees for shade, picnic tables and benches. The restrooms are always clean. Lots of wildlife to see if you get there early in the morning.

    Our visit to the cathedral was for the high school commencement of our granddaughter. She was graduating from The Notre Dame Academy High School.
    This is a beautiful church, well maintained and preserved and nearly 100 years old. The graduation ceremony included a full mass including the eucharist. A total of 135 young women were graduating and what was most impressive was how serious these young women take their education.

    Great place for leisurely walking. It's small but beautiful. It's a place you have to stop and enjoy instead of rushing through.

    I am an architectural/design buff, and I think this might be my favorite interior that I’ve ever seen in the US. Very interesting the late thirties/early 40s moderne and deco influences along with the glass depictions that are jaw-droppingly beautiful. The space is incredible.
    Definitely a goosebumps – inducing sight to see.
