Night Life

SATURDAY NIGHT — Press your luck on the slots at Hollywood Casino or dance to some great music in their H Lounge. Grab a late night martini or craft cocktail at Toledo Spirits. Wind down with a walk under the lights at the Town Center at Levis Commons before heading back to your hotel after a fun filled day.

Breakfast of Champions

SUNDAY BRUNCH — Bacon & eggs, waffles, parfaits or pancakes? Luckily, you can have any or all of the above whether you are an early riser or late sleeper. Sip on a flight of mimosas in The Garden at Focaccias's or grab a delicious bite at Monroe Street Diner.

Much to Do at the Zoo

SUNDAY MORNING — Before leaving town, the Toledo Zoo and Aquarium is a must see. The aquarium houses over 3,000 aquatic animals in 178,000 gallons of water. Feeling adventurous? Try out the touch tank containing various stingrays and small sharks, or hop on the aerial rope and zip line course? If adrenaline is not your thing, you can make some major memories feeding the Zoo’s Masai giraffe herd or the parakeets in the Keet Retreat.
