We did enjoy the existing content however, which included 3 full rooms of display and a glass blowing demonstration that was both interesting to watch and very informative to listen to. The master glass blower is the program director who created the glass piece. We really enjoyed the presentation. I'd easily stop back in once new exhibits (rooms) are created. Cheers

One of my stops while in Toledo was the Toledo Art Museum. Part of the art museum, but still sort…read moreof separate is the Glass Pavillion. It is across the street from the rest of the museum and houses a large collection of exquisite glass art. So many of the pieces are absolutely beautiful and showcase the versatility of this material in art. The pieces look so delicate and breathtaking. Like the Chandelier Campiello Del Remer #2 by Dale Chihuly, which you see upon first entering the Glass Pavillion. It was one of my favorite pieces of the entire collection. Two other ones that really caught my eye were The Counterman-Diner by Emily Brock, the details capturing an American Diner all in glass must have taken so much time and care. But in regard to detail, I was floored by The Chasidim-Franciscan Chess Set by Gianni Toso. It is an intricately detailed features on each chess piece is amazing. One side are Catholics and the other of the Jewish faith. Its an incredible piece of art! I spent quite some time just looking at it in awe, especially because I love Chess so much. While at the Glass Pavillion, I was also treated to watching someone create a glass vase. That is pretty cool! I would definitely recommend spending an hour or two just in the Glass Pavilion, it is so worth it!

The area around the field has really grown so much it's gorgeous! There is so much to offer before and after the games too. We got great seats next to the dug out which was prime viewing for all the action. Although we didn't get any baseballs :(. I do wish their other screen was up and running as the only one on I had to keep looking over to look at. Their Fourth of July fireworks show on the 3rd was epic! I would like to say though to bring earplugs, the acoustics made them so LOUD.

I'd seen the visiting team -- the Saint Paul Saints -- but it was back in their Northern League Days when Mike Veeck owned the team. Either way, this was outstanding baseball in a wonderful environment. As I've mentioned in other ballpark reviews, I'm a former broadcaster who has seen hundreds of baseball games at all levels across the country. Though I've been to plenty of MLB games (dating back to the days of Arlington Stadium, Veterans Stadium, Shea Stadium and the former Yankees Stadium), I'm still partial to minor league baseball. Sure, I enjoyed seeing the likes of Juan Gonzalez smashing balls into the parking lot and Curt Schilling striking out 16 Yankees (that was in 1997, and I loved it with all my heart), but seeing players who are trying to make it to the show -- or trying to make it back, such as so many players on the Mud Hens -- brings me greater joy. Seeing a game in Toledo was a bucket list thing for me, if only because of Jamie Farr's character on MASH. With such a nice little stadium and wonderful baseball to boot, I wish I'd come sooner. A couple of caveats though. First, I've paid less for parking at a Coldplay concert. Further, at least those lots took cards. (These guys only take cash, but I'm sure the parking lot owners report their earnings to the IRS -- NOT!) Secondly, the hot dogs at this park are saltier than the Black Sea. Thank God I took a double dose of Amlodipine! But seriously, I'd come back here in a second.

It definitely does have the goosebumps vibes. The day we visited the town just happened to be the day that it was closed so we were not able to enter and check it out.

It was a gold mine of local history in a great building. It had three levels and if needed the staff would allow family members to ascend/ descend the other levels if needed to keep with the social distancing. We were the only ones at the time with another group joining as we were leaving. Dundee is rich is history and many artifacts and gems are present here. I especially liked the school display area and the general store area. My favorite was the archives where me and my son looked at newspapers and yearbook dating back many years. White gloves are provided for very delicate documents and books. Henry Ford was influential in the machinery and design here also. If you love history and or have tekatives in this area, this place is for you.
