Dallas Firefighters Museum — Attraction in Dallas

This was our first visit to the Dallas Firefighters Museum. I brought my daughter and 9yo son with me on this visit. I was a little worried that my 9yo would get bored easily and loose interest, but that never happened. We were all fully engaged and found the entire visit educational and entertaining.

Upon entering the building, we were warmly greeted by two former Firefighters. We paid the entry fee and signed the visitors book. Mike, also a former Firefighter, was our tour guide. He started the tour in the photo room area where he told us a few quick stories about some of the photos on the walls. He then took us inside where we were able to see and touch lots of artifacts and learn the stories behind them. It was fantastic! The entire tour was only my kids and I, so we felt like we received the VIP/Red Carpet experience. As we moved on to each section, Mike stopped and asked us if we had any questions, which we always did. Mike was very patient with us and extremely knowledgeable about everything we were looking at. The stories he told us were fun and interesting, he was fantastic with my 9yo son. 1/2 way through the tour, Mike took us into the theatre where we watched a cute kid friendly film on fire safety. This film was also a reminder to me of some things I do wrong in my own home such as overloading a power outlet. It also reminded me to sit down with my family to come up with a fire escape plan for our home.

I highly recommend the Dallas Firefighters Museum because it’s a great look at our past, as well as a brief look into what FireFighters go through to protect us and keep us safe.

I give Mike 5 Stars because he is a great educator and did a great job keeping the tour fun, interesting, hands on, and engaging. The fact that he was able to even keep my 9yo engaged earns him another 5 Stars! We spent a couple hours here with Mike, and I could’ve listened to him all day. Thanks Mike!

I highly recommend you check them out. There is something for everyone here.

They have some future plans to expand the museum. It’s exciting to see how they will grow.

We will be back again...

My Dad was a firefighter in Fulton County Georgia in the 70s and 80s, and the job cost him his life. I finally felt ready to look at that part of my history again (without crying), and I did pretty good through the majority of the tour. I saw so many things that were achingly familiar to me from my childhood, and really enjoyed myself. I fell apart when I went to the bathroom, and I'm not sure why; there was nobody waiting in line, so I had time to stay locked in there staring at the showers and grieve just a bit. All in all, a great experience that left me feeling very connected to my...

My friend and I went here not to long ago for school assignment and I absolutely loved it! We were the only two there so we got to peacefully look throughout the museum after the tour. Very sweet and polite tour guide and it was pretty clean and comfortable environment. However we went when the state fair was going on so parking was kind of hard, but that shouldn't be an issue normally. Only $4 for adults to enter. Anyone needing to go to a museum for a project or paper this is the one you...
