Reviews of New Bedford Fire Museum
"Beautiful place. Tons of history. The staff is very friendly and great with kids."
"An absolute gem in the city- the kids love the kids size fire pipe they can slide down and the fire gear they can put on (which I remember loving when I was a kid too) and the adults loved the history, the cool architecture of the old fire house, and the remarkable dedication of NBFD seen there. 100% recommend."
"Phenomenal experience. The guy working there showed us the engine he worked on from the 1950s. The kids loved the fire pole and sitting in the trucks."
"This place just keeps getting better - we loved the new air conditioning! Our camp looks forward to this museum every year. It is by far our favorite summer field trip and this year they added AC. The firemen are friendly and the kids love all the hands on experiences. They can sit in the antique fire trucks, turn the steering wheels and sound the horns. They get to try on fire hats, boots and coats and slide down the fire pole. They get to roam around the bunk rooms and the Fire Captain’s office/bedroom. I highly recommend this place to kids and anyone who remembers the firehouses of yesteryear. This place is unique, wonderful and a must see when visiting New Bedford."
"This place was awesome, a great place for any firefighter or fire buff who loves fire service history. Also very hands on for kids to make it a great trip for a family as well. A great staff on hand will be glad to help you out, had 7 retired rigs dating from 1800's-1970's. I highly suggest this if your plan on visiting New Bedford or are just driving through. Admission was $3.00. Hours of Operation: Mon-Saturday 9am-4pm until Labor Day. Winter is by appointment only."
