Toledo Museum Of Science — Local services in Toledo

We visited on a Monday in mid-April 2025.

This museum within the Toledo Zoo is a gem. I wish we had planned more time in our itinerary to explore this place. We were in here for over 90 mins and we still felt like we had to rush through it all. There is so much to do and see in here.

There is the green house area which has lots of exotic plants in and also dart frogs roaming around. There is also a upstairs balcony you can see too.

Then there is the main open atrium area with the dioramas or taxidermy like animals. These are very well done.

You have water like exhibits on the bottom floor with area to pet sturgeons as well.

When you go upstairs there are arthropods area and also venomous snakes area. These were super cool to look through and you could spend lots of time in both rooms easy.

There is also a taxidermy room upstairs which reminded me of like jungle book or something.

The whole museum is very well done with modern exhibits and great theming. Don't look this place over and plan at least an hour...

Really beautiful building and exhibits. This building is much less busy than the rest of the Zoo, even during a weekend, so there's room to look at all the exhibits. The displays and exhibits are all beautifully done and the building is very clean. There is a variety of things to look at, ranging from taxidermied animals, sculpted animals, real-life animals and insect exhibits, and animal mounts and bones. Everything is very clearly well maintained. If you want to take your time, I would reserve about 1.5-2.5 hours for this building depending on if you stop to read the plaques and how long you spend at each exhibit. This building is more mobility-aid friendly than other zoo buildings. There is an elevator as well as private...

They have a bunch of underage people running the cage. I ask about their alcohol and the beer, and they don't know ANYTHING about their alcohol. Not what type of beer it is, or even percentage. Not only that, the young boy was holding my beer while talking to multiple people and laughing then finally handing me my beer after holding it for no reason for over 45 seconds. That guy needs to be fired.

This place needs to hire people with understanding of the few products they sell, and maybe someone that is legal to serve. What a freaking joke...
