This museum is adorable! We took our seven and nine year old daughters and stayed for about an hour and a half. The museum has a family package, two adults and two children for $30. I thought it was a great value. The girls watched a video about the appropriate time to call 911. We explored the history of firefighting including several large engines. There are many interactive exhibits for the children. My girls favorite was the escape maze which teaches children to check the temperature of the door before opening. We also were amazed at the house fire simulation. Good for children about ages four to 10.

They have a firehouse doggo and real firemen telling stories and working there... The fire simulator is awesome too! Great place to take your kids too!

A great place for young and old to learn and appreciate the history of the fine men and women who serve our community.

So much fun.. As Adults we played with everything.. Learn about items and history of Memphis Firefighters... Loved loved the simulation.. Definitely a grwat choice of Museums.

All of the old engines were very cool. The interactive play section was great even for the adults. I could see it being good fire education for children but the history is enjoyable for the adults. Unfortunately the interactive fire simulation was unavailable for our tour since it was guided and no one showed up. It’s a unique museum, maybe more so for those in the industry but we had a blast nonetheless.

Very good museum. Simulated house fire realistic. Many displays including hands on and kids area

Great experience. Several interactive fire trucks to climb into. Great time for 1 yr to 65 years old. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Great little museum - kids enjoyed it! Lovely staff (and dog!) :)

It a great place to visit to learn about firefighters and firefighting, lots of old equipment to look at, they even have Dalmatians that the kids can see and pet, not to expensive either very affordable great activities for kids to do and play as well

Very kid friendly and very friendly staff. Thank you

Best Fire Museum you could ever go to!! Had a great interactive area for kids (and adults) so they didnt get bored. It is a must see if you are in Memphis!!

I have had the honor of visiting the Memphis Fire Museum on several occasions since it was opened including its grand opening!The Memphis Fire Museum is a must stop when visiting downtown. The building is beautiful and the museum is great for both children and adults. The honor and history held in the walls of the museum are a must see for any public safety personnel.Centrally located in downtown Memphis the Fire Museum is just a short walk away from several other attractions and restaurants.

Loved the museum and the history that was preserved from Memphiss FD history. Great place to hang for a bit. Needs some upgrades with some of the attractions but my kids loved playing on the fire truck and ambulance!

Clean, very interactive for kids. Was hoping for more historical/antique artifacts/items but was still delightfully surprised with the museum overall. Neat lil gift shop as well!

Just learned about this place after my sons classmate invited him for a birthday party. It was really nice! Great for a field trip, birthday party or just fun day. Great alternative to the childrens museum whenever you need different scenery. Lots of great historical context about the city of Memphis fire department.

Amazing how well and full of fun children get educated here, and the grown ups have a lot to see and learn to. The people here are so very nice. Great experience!

That place is always interesting and the people are really nice.Memphis FD has quite an interesting history.Its a great place for kids to learn about fire safety. Through their educational visits for school kids, theyve enabled several kids to save the lives of their family members. Now thats a good cause!

Would have to say that I have been to quite a few children’s museum living in the DC metro area for a few years but, this one is my top 5. The place is small but is jam packed full of things to do. Fun for all ages this place consist of two building with a converted fire house with 2 floors of activities. The staff was really knowledgeable and retired or off duty fire fighters where manning the activity. Awesome experience.

They have allot of very well restored fire trucks. Had never seen any that old. Its amazing if you enjoy old vehicles. Also have exhibits for children.

Great people, great conversation! Very I formative and interactive areas.

Excellent museum, well done, educational, entertaining, very helpful and friendly staff.

Not just a museum: There are tons of interactive things to do for kids all while learning about fire safety.Fun Fact: Part of the funding from this museum comes from donations from the Memphis Firefighters.

Be great for kids lots of interactive things for children

Fire museum was interesting should be more history. Good way to kill an hour or two. Seems more directed to children.

The museum is so well laid out!! Fascinating history of Memphis firefighters and equipment and then, a wonderful area for kiddos to explore the experiences of firefighting!!!

Worth it if antique fire equipment is your thing, lots of Memphis history

Great history and nice photo ops

It has fire service history

Very nice and instructional place to hang out with your kids! Entertaining playground with firetrucks and good souvenir store!

Its a nice place to take your kids to see. I just loved it

We love the fire museum!

A must see the paintings were awesome.

Love this museum in 2 buildings! It has history and fire safety lessons. Love the hands-on simulated fire fighting and driving for the children! The fire safety computer game screens are so slow youll go insane. Thats why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. Upgrade Wi-fi! Love the 3D/4D simulated real fire room! Love the 3D house set-up for safe home practices to prevent fire! Parking is an issue; however, Memphis is trying. If you take small children, youll need a stroller. There are parking garages; however, its too far to walk for a small child or elderly person who has trouble walking. This museum is worth the parking trouble. Check it out! Adults $10. Children $8. Yes, its a pricey outing if you have several children. I would take grandchildren more often if admission price was much lower for children. I love this museum.

Its a small museum but theres much fun and learning to get. Its a must visit for the kids and whole family.

The Fire Museum of Memphis is excellent for younger children 2-8(ish) for them to explore actual fire trucks, ambulances and battle simulator fires!Along with all the children interaction, adults can most certainly learn something new from the exhibit itself. Along the Museum, they display antique gear including helmets, gas masks, fire extinguishers and horse drawn fire trucks.There are two separate buildings, the fire house itself is where the children can run, touch, play and learn.There prices are reasonable and they offer a membership for anyone who wishes to visit the Museum in the future.

Great place to visit and learn about the fire service!

Staff very nice. Interesting facts.

A great place to take the little ones to. It is small, but well-taken care of and with helpful people. Great location close to other attractions.

My Grandbabies had a blast. The staff was super...NEXT!!!

Very interesting place to visit love it kids had fun.

Look nice from the outside

It was wonderful. The staff was great. All the kids enjoyed there self even the teens. We were there for my 4 year old nephew Birthday Party.

We had a really fun time here learning about the history of the Memphis fire dept. The kids were excited to meet real fire fighters and loved the play area

Grandsons birthday party, he had a great time!!!

Unique for famlies or a day downtown Kids go bonkers for this place. Cool cool cool

Very nice people kids loved learning about fire safety.

Very Cool. Old restored fire engines. They have great interactive kid program.

Nice place to bring your kids to learn the danger of fire.

Went on a school field trip with my catcher daughter, it was cool to learn the history of the black firemen & the kids really enjoyed it too

This is a fun place, but also a museum space that details the history of firefighting in Memphis as well as teaching fire safety habits.If youre a firefighter passing through Memphis, you should stop by and leave a patch from your station; they collect them in the front desk.

Enjoyed.

Battalion Chief Batsell Booker had his retirement party there and it was the TOPS! Nothing but the Pfunk so help me. It was on the ONE!!!

Always fun with friendly staff!

This is the best Fire Museum I have ever visited. Lot of historical items. Must see.

Really well done museum!! Lots to do for the kids. Very interactive

Terrific for kids to learn about fire safety.

I like it very much and my son too.

Looked on line to get information, directions, hours, and cost. It said it was free. Yet when I found a parking spot and paid for parking, and entered, the lady in museum said it would be $28. I told her I saw on the internet that it was a free event. She said no its out there but thats not true. My kids and I were disappointed. When youre traveling and organizing events. You pay for some and some its nice to have free. Yet when I explain that , she didnt seem to care.

Very nice place to visit and friendly people

The history it gives. The operations of how the Dept. Is ran. Great experience for childrens

Recommend to come with children. Interactive, and informative. Lots of fun for littles ones!

Nice gear and filing for the kids.

Great exhibits in history of the Memphis fire department

Loved everything about the museum. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great group of people. Lots of things for children to interact with. Good for adults and kids alike.

Spectacular! Its a must of youre a tourist or a local. Employees are amazing and customer service oriented, the kids love it and its so informative and educational.

Wonderful history of Our Memphis Fire Department. Great hands on things for the kids and boy do they live it.Been three times. Twice with granddaughter.

We took our out of town family here and the kids loved it so much they cried when we have to leave at closing time. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be coming back and bringing others!!!

Loved this so interesting and the gift store lady was great & helpful.

Nice fire history.

Very nice atmosphere and elite places to visit in memphis.

Very interesting museum, and something Ive not seen in other cities (though they may well exist and I just never visited or saw them). They have some very cool historical fire equipment and engines, as well as an area where kids can dress up and play. The play area isnt particularly expansive, but my 3 year old played for almost 2 hours with his friends at a birthday party here and didnt want to leave because he was still having fun.

Real friendly and helpful people. The museum had a section where you could interact with fire trucks and a simulation of a burning house. It is enjoyable, especially for children.

Such a great experience.

Great site with some very cool old equipment.

Great place to visit

Very cool place to check out

Cool place to take kids to visit and learn about Memphis

Love fire? Check it out

Cool things to see and very friendly staff but for 10 dollars a person?! Are you kidding me?! This was by far the WORST MUSUEUM I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. It’s fantastic for kids though. It should be 5$ per adult

Nice place to go to learn about the history of Memphis Firefighters

Really neat place to learn about the history of the Memphis Fire Department and also teach the kids about fire safety with great drills and other hands on learning.

Its such a cool place! Fun, educative a very children oriented. Time and money well spent!

Really cool attractions and good personnel

Nice attractions for kids

This would be a good place to take kids to learn but as adults we were disappointed. They had a few historical objects thoughout the museum but the quantity of items and the descriptions were both lacking.

I like how they reused an old fire department building as a fire museum! The best part is that its handicap accessible, and because it has more than one floor in both buildings, there are a couple of elevators.

Not only because I am a firefighter, but this is one of the most awesome places I have been to. This museum offers all of the history of the Memphis Fire Department for the fire and history buffs. The old firehouse is converted into a hands on, interactive grand tour of the station. The Memphis Fire Department holds educational outreach tours for children and families here, with the use of state of the art simulators and games. A must see for anyone around the Memphis area.

Amazing

Fun place to go with the kids.

Really cool museum. It was interactive and the kids and adults had a great time.

Wish we could take photos it was so great we wish we could share it

Not big on real history but its educational

I got here before 3:30 pm it was 3:20 pm and they were closed. Said that they close at 3:30 pm we had 10 minutes till deadline and they wouldnt let me and my 4 kids in the door. Had it locked said they showed the time to be 3:32. Everyones phone right now shows 3:30 pm. My kids are so disappointed. Im a volunteer firefighter and I would never turn kids away. Ashamed of this.....

The most awesome and educational place for young childrens birthday parties ever!! I was there for my Grandsons Birthday and I loved it as much as they did.

Tells the history of the Memphis Fire Dept. Great place to take kids, a lot of interactive activities for them. The fire room was pretty interesting.

Thank you Memphis firefighters for running such a great museum. Thank you for preserving history. This place is great.

Great for the kids as well

The Fire Museum is a hidden gem. I was there for my great nephews birthday party and the artifacts and history are no doubt,worth the trip. I

Tour of the museum was top notch . The staff was very knowledgeable and patience with my grandson class

I am going to get all the money
