Hall of Flame Fire Museum, Phoenix AZ

We ended up going here [2 grandparents, 2 parents and 3 kids] because it was the only one open at a convenient time for us. Boy were we astonished! Five giant rooms of fire trucks, some 300 years old, all beautifully restored. Also a detailed guidebook explained each one. Plus a small theater rain a video about the museum's foundation. The kids loved it! A large fire truck to climb on/in, firefighter clothes and hats to try on, all sorts of firefighter toys to play with in the kids' area. Plus docents around to explain everything and give demonstrations. We could have spent all day there.

Very nice museum with about 100 fire apparatus, from walking to trucks. Oldest is from 1726. All in great restored condition. Most if not all look better than day they were delivered to the fire Department.

Honor hall for fire fighters lost in line of duty. History of Smoke jumpers.

My Dad enjoyed it. He is a former Portland, Oregon firefighter.

The Best Fire Apparatus Museum in the country. We were there for 4 plus hours. I meet up with 2 guys from FDNY and they took me and my wife over the shop to see more Apparatus being rebuilded for the Museum. If your in to old fire Apparatus you have to stop by.

Loved this museum dedicated to the history of American heros, our fire fighters. This museum is packed with fire trucks from years gone by. All are in beautiful condition. The self guided, self explanatory tour is easy to follow and extremely informative. The size of the museum is overwhelming. There is even a children's section. There is a gift shop which has some really neat things as well. The staff are very friendly and helpful. If you ever wanted to be a fireman as a kid or just want to see an amazing tribute to a noble profession and learn something on the way, I highly recommend visiting the museum if you're in the area.

This museum is a gem! Our toddler was in heaven with the countless firetrucks he could look at, as well as the children’s play area in the back. We will definitely be back next time we’re in the Phoenix area!

Took the guided tour! Incredible history of fire fighting equipment dating back to the 1700s. Every firetruck is immaculate and preserved with care and love. Tribute is paid to those who made the ultimate sacrifice including those on 9/11 and the Granite Mountain Hotshots.

I took my 3 year old and 6 year old sons and my 3 year old started crying as soon as we got in. He thought the fire trucks were going to make noise, which they weren’t, but I couldn’t convince him otherwise. I asked for a refund, but I was refused.

I would say the museum is NOT toddler friendly. Perhaps older kids will like it, but I’m not sure young kids will like it.

I can’t give it one star because they do have some pretty cool old fire trucks from what I did see.

I would love to bring my son back here. Its really small and straight forward. Its great for learning historical information and there are some interactive items as well. The children cannot touch or climb on most of the models but there are things for them to touch or climb on. My son really liked it. He spent a lot of time in the kids area and taking it all in. I suggest you plan your visit based on the fact that this is a historical museum.

Excellent! Covers all time periods. Great restorations. Friendly helpful staff. A little hard to find and no coffee or snack shop. Recommended.

An amazing collection of fire fighter memorabilia. Much of it restored with intense detail. The gentlemen in the front are a wealth of knowledge and the binders really help to learn some interesting stories about the equipment. Also, the firefighter database they have it's really nice. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time here otherwise you will surely miss something really cool.

MUST SEE! If you've dragged hose or been a Truckee, even if you haven't, visit this museum. Rescue 4 and the Granite Mountain crew truck are here.

Good museum. Not a good place for young children. More for older children & adults. Very interesting.

Friendly staff, organized and interesting didplays and history. Affordable and worth the cost. Great for kids!

This museum was great for my class. The guided tour was informative, educational and all around fun.

Really neat old fire trucks. Also has a great area where kids can interact and have some play time. Fun gift shop too.

Enjoyed our walk around the museum. Would have been better if we could have taken our time to read all the information, but we have small children and felt rushed. There are a few kids activities and kids do enjoy it. Really cool displays and arm patches! I found a typo on one of the information sheets!

If you want to see about a thousand fire trucks this is the place to go we found it very interesting and I don't know what else to say it's all about fire trucks it has a nine-one-one memorial section. As a New Yorker who lost friends in 9/11 I finally got to see a picture of a guy I grew up with, who was on the NY police department. He was a gung-ho Marine who would do anything to help people, then one of New York's finest.

Unique museum that has one of the largest fire collections in the world; on display are fire engines from around the world, fire badges, memorial display for the firefighters who lost their lives at 9/11, and a switchboard that plays current local fire messages. In addition, you can request tours as well as use the museum for your child's birthday party.

This museum is amazing. The fire trucks are really cool and the price for admission is very low. Definitely worth going to see the history of firefighting.

My husband and I are huge firefighting fans because he used to be one. We stopped in and its so cool and I love the trucks and how excited it made my husband. 10 stars from my family. Definitely coming back to visit with the kids.
