Fire Engine Museum

Greetings!

Approx. how far is the Fire Engine Museum from Mount Pleasant? Is there anything else to do in that area?Restaurants of interest?

Many thanks!!

Fire Engine Museum

The Fire Engine Museum is - I believe - right at the Outlet Center in North Charleston, really close to the Charleston Airport. Tons of restaurants, but they%26#39;re pretty much all the chains you probably have in Kalamazoo (although I think a Jim and Nick%26#39;s went in there - it%26#39;s a southern Barbecue restaurant chain). [not positive on that location - someone hopefully will chime in]

It would take you about 20 minutes once you got on 526 to get to the exit (get off at the airport exit but go in the opposite direction; turn left when you see Starbucks - maybe the 2nd light - and the museum will be on the right in 30 seconds). Basically follow the ';Tanger Outlet Mall'; signs.

Fire Engine Museum

The Fire Museum is located at Tanger Outlet as mentioned. The best route is to take 526, exit at airport, left at light and left at 2nd light (you%26#39;ll see the Embassy Suites to the right of the light) and the Fire Museum will be on the right.

I went there last summer and it was interesting. A good spot for kids and adults.

Enjoy your visit!

I just returned from a trip to Seabrook Island and a visit to the Fire Museum.

My teen-aged daughters couldn%26#39;t believe I suggested we visit the museum (they were more interested in shopping at the outlet mall). But guess who I couldn%26#39;t get out of the museum?!?

The Fire Museum is pretty impressive. If you%26#39;re into old cars, you%26#39;ll be in heaven viewing the old fire engines.

There is a short 10 minute informational film (turn left when you enter the museum room) on the history of fires, fire stations, and Charleston%26#39;s fires.

Other informational type exhibits include fire dangers within a home and how to protect your home against fire.

Perhaps the best--for kids of ALL ages-- was the fire pole and the inactive fire engine cab!

And the price is right too! $6.00 admission for adults. You can%26#39;t beat that.

I%26#39;d encourage all to visit the North Charleston%26#39;s Fire Museum.
