T-Town Caddy

Reviewed By dalemaryo

We were in Toledo for the Trump Rally January 9th. We could not find the downtown garage we parked in. We had been walking from garage to garage, for almost an hour, when the T-Town caddy pulled up. We were cold, tired and frustrated but Sergio took us under his wing and promised he would find our car. And he did! He was kind and very friendly. I told him he was an angel that God sent to us. God bless!!!

Toledo Zoo

Get an underwater view of hippos at the Hippoquarium, the only such zoo exhibit in the world, and then move on to see the 500 or so other species of mammals, reptiles and birds.

Reviewed By jolynb978 - Temperance, United States

There's a good reason this zoo has been rated top in the country...because it's amazing!! I have lived near this zoo my entire life and watched its growth and transformation. There are so many animal exhibits, hands on attractions and special events to participate in. The animals cages are always clean and they are well cared for. The lights at the zoo in the winter are equally as amazing and a family favorite. I highly recommend this zoo as a great family outing.
