As you stroll down the streets of Toledo, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the sheer greatness of the city. As you look towards the sky you can see towering buildings glinting as the sun breaks from behind a single opaque cloud. As you look to your right, you can see Young Artists At Work creating a gorgeous mural on the side or a building, and bringing painted life to benches near the sidewalks. Swiveling your head to the other side, you can see Fifth Third Field. This massive baseball stadium is home to the famous Toledo Mudhens, and draws crowds for both its athletes and its show-stopping fireworks. As you glance down, you can see the entrance to ICE Restaurant & Bar, an underground restaurant entertaining below the streets of Toledo. As you close your eyes, you can hear the music of the famous Toledoan, Crystal Bowersox, playing. You can smell the aroma of the sweet flowers in Toledo Botanical Garden and hear the flutters from the Butterfly House. The city provides endless opportunities for adventures and countless surprises
