Gear up and fight fires at the Houston Fire Museum.
Located in old Fire Station 7 on Milam in Midtown, the Houston Fire Museum remembers Houston firefighting history and has the perfect room for your little firefighter to play.
In the small, easy-to-supervise, air conditioned room, little firefighters will find the cab of a real firetruck with working lights and scanner. They will also find full fireman suits for dress up and a real fireman pole (and mat).
The wall of hoses and two-story fire safety house will let the kids imagination run wild as they act as Houston’s local heros.
After suiting up, driving the truck and putting out the fires, the kids can watch a fire safety video or play the fire safety games along the wall.
Before leaving, tour the rest of the small museum to see old trucks and learn about Houston’s history. Also stop by gift store to get your pint sized Houston Fire Department t-shirts.
