Answer 2

- The Toledo Zoo:  take a day to visit one of the top zoos in the world...it's close to home and doesn't cost all the much to go.

Answer 3

Check out doToledo's web site for lots of free and low cost activities. There's a summer parade in Maumee August 16. Arts Gone Wild at the zoo, and Metro Parks August 8-11. The art museum is free, but parking is $4-and don't let the kids run loose in the gift shop-expensive glass pieces in there. The Sandpiper has river cruises for $15 per adult and $7 per kid.
