Detroit—Not just a city that you drive through on your way somewhere else, Toledo is a town worth stopping in.
Known as the Glass City because of its historic connection to that industry, the fourth-largest city in Ohio is home to award-winning parks, museums, restaurants, and a small, but dense, zoo.
It’s a particularly good destination for art lovers. Along with a free and vast art museum, Toledo is home to many stained glass and blown glass artists, art galleries and several art festivals throughout the spring and summer (see event list below).
Whether you’re looking for art, attending a concert or a Mud Hens game, or just passing through, here’s a look at a few things you may enjoy while visiting Toledo.
