"This is a small, but great little museum in SeaPort. It’s packed with history and memorials to fallen heroes. Adults can enjoy the innovation of fire fighting and prevention technology thorough the years. Kids can enjoy hopping on fire engine vehicles older than anyone in the building, and seeing equipment worn by fighters. There’s an upstairs used for private youth birthday parties. The museum is FREE, though the fairly priced merchandise directly benefits heroes in need."
"Small historical working firehouse. This museum boasts a lot of Boston Fire history in a very small space. You can also hold birthdays here as well. Modest gift shop also on site. Donations encouraged."
"We were delighted to find the museum open on a Sunday. The guys there were very friendly and informative. A free activity, though we bought a couple of commemorative t-shirts."
"Boston Fire Museum is an amazing place to look at history of all facets of firefighting. Trucks, ladders, water jets... they have a real good walkthrough on safety and fire suppression throughout the years. Adults will find fascinating facts, kids will find hands on projects and maybe even put out a fire. Perfect place to throw a birthday party, get a tour or even history of Boston. Purchase some cool Boston Fire memorabilia; shirts, hats, sweatshirts or trucks."
"Amazing free museum located in the heart of downtown Boston that captures the minds and imaginations of children, families, and adults alike. A very warm and engaging staff that love to converse about the history of firefighters in this city/country and willing to offer a perspective that is hard to find outside of a setting like this. It's not a large museum but well worth a visit. They were also hosting a kid's birthday party upstairs when I was visiting which seemed like a lot of fun."
