We visited the Hall of Flame a couple of weeks ago with our three kids. We all loved it! The kids thought all the firetrucks were so amazing and they loved the play area designated just for kids where they could put on fire gear and learn about fire safety.They even have one fire truck designated just for kids that...

Fire fighting history and equipment of all eras is on display in this oft missed museum in east Phoenix on the Tempe city border. It's packed with great displays that should bring "the kid" out of anyone of any age. Family endownment enable this terrific collection to be retained in Phoenix, I'd guess open for more than 20 years. It's... More

This gem, located just moments from the Phoenix Zoo, is one of those places that you really need to make time (at least a couple of hours) to see. Each piece of equipment is restored to perfection and you learn a lot about the evolution of the fire fighting art. One of the first pieces you see is a hand... More

An informative look at firefighting apparatus since the mid-1700s. The restoration of the various pieces is fantastic. The history of the profession as well as each piece is fascinating. There is even one more modern truck that children may climb on. The dispatch arrangement is interesting as is the memorial to those who perished on the job. Look for the... More

This is a hidden gem near the Phoenix Zoo that is not well advertised. The collection of old fire- fighting equipment is stunning. This is well worth the admission price. In years past they would have a kid’s day where they have additional things for small children to do including a ride on a fire engine. I don’t know if... More

Our friends were in town for Spring Training games and wanted to see the museum. He is helping to restore a fire engine in California and found the displays to very interesting and helpful. It is not a "knock your socks off kind of place" but there is much to see and it is not crowded so go at your... More

Many older fire apparatus on display, but only a small amount of hands on activities for kids. Also would have liked to see more current equipment displayed as well. Giving guests a binder with facts/info upon entry is ok, but would have preferred to have the information displayed on a placard in front of the equipment instead.

Price was right,only 5$ / person.We spent about 2 hours looking at just a lot of firefighting equipment.I found all this info interesting . This museum is one of a kind that you are not going to see anywhere else.

The name is kind of deceiving. My son saw this museum while we were heading to the "Hole in the Rock" and he wanted to stop. We thought it was going to be about the science of fire but it was about fire fighters and fire engines. It's kind of pricey, $7 for adults and $5 to $6 for kids.... More
