Our family stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. Admission is free to the museum, which is amazing! When we visited, there were two retired fire chiefs on duty volunteering to show us around. Our kids were given their own fire hats to wear and keep, and they were treated so nicely throughout the tour! There is a 1920s working fire truck on display, and the kids were encouraged to climb up on it so that we could take their picture, and they were allowed to ring the bell and pretend like they were driving. The volunteers were very knowledgeable due to their years of service, and were able to tell us a lot about the museum and the history of fire fighting. The building itself dates from the 1800s and was relocated to its current location from downtown by cutting it in half and moving it! Theres also a fire alarm that the kids could crank to create the sound. Great museum, well worth a visit!

Found this hidden gem while attending an event at the art museum....a quick walk through the theater and there is the fire museum.Free admission and you get a free patch!Volunteers run the museum and donations are welcome....Beautiful vintage trucks are parade ready and the firehouse is shown as originally operated in the early 1900s.Definitely worth 30 minutes the next time you are in the area.

A great place for kids who LOVE fire trucks. Lots to look at and some great photo ops sitting in an old fire truck!

It was a great and historical experience, learning first hand about life on a U S Fire Station. Sharing our common experiences as fire fighters.Warm friendly staff, well maintained exhibits and would thoroughly recommend a visit.

On Friday 06-15-2018 visited the museum. unexpectedly a private tour with very expert explanations about what there is to see. There are very nice fire vehicles inside. Thanks to the firefighter from station 3 and thank you very much for the t-shirts and patches. Marcus from the Netherlands

My family and I loved our time here. We had one of the retired firefighters that works there give us a guided tour, he was very pleasant giving us all the details on everything being shown there. My kids got a firefighter hat and badge, they got to go on one if the old trucks a n.v d sit in the real beds were firefighters sleep.This is a fast and fun thing to do.

Excellent personal tour by retired fire fighters. Great restored fire trucks and stories of the progress of fire fighting. Parking was a real challenge.

This place is great! Would highly recommend it. The volunteers were very knowledgeable. The admission price is great, free! It is a small museum but you could easily spend an hour here. I would say most people will spend a half an hour though. Have fun!

Great place to learn about the history of the Fire Service and about the Orlando Fire Department. The guides are very knowledgeable.

Very well maintained

Great place for an afternoon outing for a couple hours. Only difficulties: finding the entrance to get in and there are 2 flights of stairs to the 2nd floor -- with handrails.

Had such a great time!!!! I learned so much from the two gentlemen there!!! I even learned WHY firefighters used to wear mustaches!!!And why dalmatians where so important

A great, informative museum showing the early history and fire apparatus of the Orlando Fire Department. It is staffed by both active and retired volunteers. They jave a beautiful 1911 steamer and a 1926, perfectly restored, American LaFrance. Many interesting artifacts. Free admission -donations accepted.

Nice little stop in that will take about 15 minutes. Good for little kids.

Its quaint and interesting. Enjoyed our time there.

Beautiful building. An amazing tour.

Fun little museum. Guided tour by a Orlando Firefighter.

Definitely visit, best small museum in central Florida. And best fire fighting in the south.

The Orlando Fire Museum is an amazing collection of OFD history and fire service history as well. Great place to take the family for a good and educational time. Check it out is 100% recommended

It is free but they do accept donations. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and told us about the artifacts as well as different stories and how the museum got to its location now. Very cool place.

Great little museum! Please notice - its open at 10am.

Very fun to visit and learn about Orlando Fire Department history. Very nice people.

Hidden gem wonderful place to visit

Great history lesson for our kids our guide was fantastic. We loved it.

Very cool little museum on the history of the Orlando Fire Department. We stopped by on a day they were not open (because we didnt pay attention to the business hours) but some volunteers were there getting ready for an event and they graciously gave us a full tour when they didnt have to. Nice people, cool history!

Absolutely an amazing place had a wonderful time learn lots about the history and the best part it was free

We loved this place. Bill and ron were lovely and we loved hearing their stories from the old days.

Brilliant volunteer run museum. Stacks of history inside, Engines, equipment, displays all wonderfully explained by the staff .Exit thru subway in the Orlando science museum and follow the path to the left . Free to visit but contributions welcome

Very interesting. Small museum but authentic. A former fire station.

Didnt know this existed until a few days ago. Its a small museum, but packed with great information. Great for kids, they enjoyed seeing the old fire engines and hearing the fire bell.

Awesome fire museum! Very informative! Great pictures and plenty of old equipment!

Very nice museum in real old firehouse, the guide who used to work here as a firefighter was amazing !

While its only open a few days a week, this is a great little museum. Its staffed by volunteers, all of whom are former OFD firefighters. There are several restored trucks, and youre sure to hear some interesting stories.

Very well kept secret. I had been to Loch Haven a dozen times before I realized it was there. The museum is a great piece of Orlando history

Learned a lot about fire and how the tools they used were created and used for in emergencys

Awesome museum and such a hidden gem! The volunteers are retired Orlando firefighters and a wealth of knowledge.

My husband and I got married at the Orlando Fire Museum last summer. Very nice museum. Very nice staff.

Love the history of this place. Very well maintained and friendly staff.
