In a nutshell
Toledo Zoo is a great day outing for families!
truesunn Says: Each July the "tall ships", replicas of 15th century and beyond canvass sailed ships, come up into the Maumee River in Toledo at International Park on Front Street. There is a festival and live entertainment, as well as fresh seafood offered at bank side Bistros!There is a...
Yorick12 Says: The zoo is really nice. They have over 6,000 animals. The architecture of the buildings in the zoo are impressive. It's old and beautiful and when I saw all the fallout shelter signs, I had to laugh a little. Were they meant for the animals or visitors? It's just a nice way...
Jim_Eliason Says: Fort Meigs is the reconstruction of a fort built during the War of 1812 to contain the British at Detroit and act as a base for counter attack. Besides the restored fort, the site is manned by renactors who demonstrate what life was like at the the fort.

Tiny Packo's: Greatest Hungarian hot dogs~
Yaqui Says: Tony was Hungarian-American and lived in a Hungarian neighborhood, Tony’s creation was called the Hungarian hot dog. Until Toledo-born Tony invented it, there was no such thing as a Hungarian hot dog, say those who know the Old Country's food.Packo's food was an instant hit...
Mancy's Steakhouse: Best Steak in the Universe
kateylou Says: This is a large, old restaurant in Toledo. The atmosphere is romantic and dimly lit without being TOO dim. Better make a reservation because this has long been one of the most popular restaurants in town. The service is exceptional. The servers actually de-crumb the...
Gianno's Italian Bistro in Maumee, southern Toledo: Great Italian food and Italian seafood
johnste Says: We've been to Italy 3 times and are fans of the 'slow food' movement (i.e., made from scratch). I found this review in the Toledo paper: http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/200512 22/ART12/512220342We arrived without reservations right after a large party....
Tony Packos: A Toledo Tradition
Yorick12 Says: Tony Packos has been a staple in Toledo since 1932. There's now many locations in the Toledo area, but go to the original! It's claim to fame is it's signed hot dog buns. Celebs have been signing buns for thirty some years and the hang on the walls. They have everyone from...
J & G's pizza palace!!: Greek and Italian!
Char.Love Says: This is my absolute favorite restaurant in the entire world, and I've been all over. The food is great and the atmosphere is so down to Earth. When I go I take a friend or my significant other, we split a pizza and a gyro platter. The gyros here are to DIE for and you've...
Georgio's International: Georgio's International- French dining, etc.
Char.Love Says: Delicious food in a very nice little restaurant, located next to the valentine theater. The service is great and you get very classy dishes here, although it can be a little pricy! Try not to wear jeans if you eat here, but it's not a black tie kind of place either.There's...
Tarta is convenient and safe during the day. I've also never heard of any kind of bad accident on the Tarta buses, the drivers are safe. Rates are like a dollar per person, less for seniors and children, etc., but you can get a week pass for 10 dollars and month pass for 40 dollars. You can et bus passes at most local banks.
The bus stops at lots of stops all around town, and there are places almost everywhere that people travel to (the mall, downtown, etc) where you can be picked up by tarta. I wouldn't recommend riding the bus alone at night or when drunk, don't stand around at bus stops alone downtown late at night, either... and I certainly wouldn't put children on the bus alone just for safety reasons. The buses are always packed during big events.
The also have call a ride, which you can call if you need to be picked up!

They're doing T"art"a, now, too, so the buses are decorated neatly sometimes.

Eire Street Market: Find antiques to modern here
Toughluck Says: Outside and inside, this market feature small booths with an eclectic taste and foreign specialties as well as established booksellers and furniture dealers inside the old warehouses. Irish music and knick-knacks.
kateylou Says: People in Toledo go out to eat ALOT. There are more restaurants per capita than almost any other city in the United States. Some of the best choices are the ethnic restaurants. Toledo has excellent placess for Thai (Rose thai/Bankok), Lebanese (Beirut), Hungarian (Packo's,...
Drink beer and scratch your crotch
MyGodToledoSucks Says: Toledo in a nutshell.Lowlife scumbags who only drink beer, beat their wifes every Saturday night, fart in each-others face AND LAUGH about it, "Pull My Finger" hahahaha!Don't waste your time going to Toledo. Have some fun.Go to Lawrence Kansas and watch the prairie grass...
The metroparks are great for families and couples and even a single person during the day.
However, please take care when going to the park, there have been crimes in the parks in the last few years.
Don't take anything you cannot carry on you. Criminals can break into your car in the parking lots and have things out of your trunk, glove compartment, etc, in a matter of minutes and be gone. Try not to park in the first parking lot you find if there is more than one, sometimes there are park rangers in some lots, try to park there.
Don't go out on the trails alone, there have been muggings and reports of flashers in the woods. Carry some pepper spray if you are uneasy. Homeless people are known to frequent the areas at night and sleep around the trails as it's more safe for them there than in an alley or under an overpass.
Also, as with any wooded or secluded area, don't go out at night in the park, it's just not smart.

Toughluck Says: This is way off the beaten track from Toledo. But it is worth the day if you go. Sauder village is a step back in time and a chance to see life in the 19th century, before electricity and electronics changed the world. You'll find more than a days worth of things to do,...
Toughluck Says: Next to the Ohio Turnpike (I-80 & 90) bridge over the Maumee is the defunct CSX high bridge. It's dates from a period when sails must have been common, because the center section is on a swivel to turn out of the way of a ship passing up or down river. Yet, the span stands...
kateylou Says: Go see a Mud Hens baseball game in downtown Toledo. The Fifth Third Field is a terrific place to catch a game and has won awards for "Best Fan Experience at a Ballpark". There are fireworks after most of the weekend games. Can't think of a better way to spend a summer...
phred1910 Says: Catching a Toledo Mud Hens game at Fifth Third Field is a magical experience. Even more so if you do it with your father. The coziness and family atmosphere will make you remember why baseball is America's pasttime.

A very nice place for a family vacation. Just make sure you don't get your own kids mixed up with the real monkeys
