Activities + Attractions + Restaurants in Toledo

Toledo

Downtown Toledo in recent years has undergone major changes and is transforming itself into a more vibrant urban center with successes being:

  • New hockey arena for the Toledo Walleye

  • New baseball stadium for the Toledo Mud Hens (made popular by hometown M.A.S.H. television star Jamie Farr)

  • Owens Corning World Headquarters along the waterfront

  • Recent announcement of ProMedica moving its headquarters to Downtown Toledo as they plan to re‑use an old Toledo Edison Steam Plant historic building

  • The residential occupancy rate in downtown Toledo is over 95%, which is attracting new businesses and restaurants (including the World famous Tony Packo’s restaurant next to the Toledo Mud Hens stadium)

Below is just a sample of tourist, restaurant, and other fun activities you and your family can do before, during and after the 2015 APA Ohio Statewide Planning Conference.
