Toledo has the simple ingredients for a better life. Don't overcomplicate it. Make these the staples of your weekly routine and find your better Toledo.
Go Outside
The Parks
Glass City Metropark is a world-class urban park, only getting better with the developing RiverWalk. Toledo's Metroparks system is the best in the country, but don't sleep on the city parks — especially Ottawa Park (same designer as Central Park). Pick one, make it your spot, and go often.
Walk Your City
Explore Downtown, Old West End, Westmoreland, Beverly, Old Orchard, Vistula, and more. You'll discover things you never knew existed and run into neighbors along the way.
Skip the Chains
Your Neighborhood Coffee Shop
Forget Starbucks and visit a neighborhood shop. Hang out and say hi to someone. Become a regular. These little interactions add up.
The Saturday Farmers' Market
Fresh food from your neighbors, year-round. Make it a weekly ritual. You'll eat better, support local, and bump into friends.
Main Library Downtown
A civic treasure hiding in plain sight. Read, work, relax, or check out the programming in a beautiful historic building.
Famous for a Reason
Toledo Museum of Art
World-class art without an admission fee. Wander when you need to think, bring a date, take the kids to the children's area. Whatever you do, don't take it for granted.
Toledo Zoo
Amazing for families, but there's something for everyone. One of the top ranked zoos for a reason.
