I took my nephew here. He was not really interested in the information during the tour of the museum, but my husband and I both enjoyed it. It was quite interesting. After the tour, my nephew was able to put on a fire hat and fireman’s jacket that was just his size and play on the fire trucks. He really enjoyed it.

The kids loved being able to put on a fire jacket and hat and be able to climb up in several of the old firetrucks and drive them. They enjoyed the movie telling them about different fire safety things. They got a kick out of looking down the fire pole hole.

This was a hot-summer afternoon visit for a grandma and two young grandsons. Kids needed a break from the usual activities. We found it in the Dallas Fire Museum. What kid doesn't love a fire truck, and there are dozens here, including one very rare antique fire vehicle that's only one of three in the U.S. The pole that firefighters once used and that was so symbolic of firefighting was the main attraction for my two young charges. They wanted to jump on it, even though it was closed to the public. A safety film was shown on a make-believe fire truck formed into risers—very popular with the younger set. At the end of the tour young visitors get to suit up in fire gear suited of their mini-sizes. Photo ops are ample. Ride the DART rail to practically the front door of the building; can't beat it for convenience. The museum gives kids red fire hats, stickers, and coloring pages to take home; it also has a great selection of souvenir items.
