Charleston's Fire Museum

Just in time for the weekend – if you haven't been to the new Fire Museum yet, there's no time like the present! Very cool, both literally and figuratively, firetrucks built between 1857 and 1969 are showcased in a 27,000 square foot space designed to evoke an old firehouse from the moment you walk through the huge mahogany doors. With interactive exhibits on fire safety, a multimedia presentation incorporating South Carolina history and the history of firefighting and an indoor firehouse pole, slide and climbing area for children, this is a great place to escape the August heat!

Located at 4975 Centre Pointe Drive, near the new Tanger Outlets. Open Monday through Saturday 10am-5pm with last tickets sold at 4pm. 843-740-5550
