Wow. I was blown away, and this yet again shows why we shouldn't judge a place by its cover. Outside, there's a medium amount of parking and accessible spots. Inside though is where the fun awaits- I spent almost 5 hours there and could have spent longer- reading all the signs. There was so much to learn, and the interpretive signs were all digestible sizes of info.

When you first enter, you pay your admission and gift shop is to your side. From there, you'll get treated with rows of historical firetrucks. They even have two interactive models where you press the button and see how those trucks used to work. Crazy to see the mechanics of the past, and they even showcases some of the historical parade trucks too (some of them were so pretty, like a carriage out of Cinderella).

From there, there's a theater area where you can watch a movie, and right before are some more informative displays on fire hydrants and pumps, etc. The theater itself has more glass cases of stuff to see, and once you exit- you'll enter the memorial room; it's sobering but also inspirational to read the stories. In front of that is another display area with yet more info- it's info galore!

Next to that, there were - I recall- three more "spaces". One was a kids' area with interactive displays and badges in glass displays, along with a kids movie. Then, there's some more fire equipment displays including an interactive alarm. Finally, there's the more "modern" fire truck displays from the 1900s-ish. It was so cool to get up and personal, and I never knew fire trucks could be so interesting! Def had a blast! Strongly would recommend you to visit!
