Cincinnati on the Cheap

Like boxers, firemen defeat their hot-blooded opponents with a combination of strategy, intricate footwork, and punches to the face. Knock yourself out with history with today’s Groupon to the Fire Museum of Greater Cincinnati on West Court Street. Regular admission is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, and $5 for children ages 6–17, with children 5 and younger admitted free. Choose between two options:

For $3, you get a general-admission ticket (up to a $7 value). For $20, you get a two-alarm family membership for one year (a $40 value). Housed in the former Engine Company No. 45 Firehouse, the Fire Museum of Greater Cincinnati celebrates local firefighting lore with an extensive artifact collection. Peruse items such as a giant fire-alarm drum dating back to the early nineteenth century, used to notify the community of fires and provide beats for town-square rap battles. To celebrate the museum’s 30th anniversary, recent acquisitions from the Cigna collection (courtesy of the Smithsonian Institution) preen and strut for patrons’ pleasure. Single-day admission allows visitors to briefly bask in the exhibits’ warmth, but a two-alarm one-year family membership provides free family admission, a 10% discount at the gift store and for museum rental, and invitations to special events, programs, and marshmallow-toasting symposiums. Special membership rates apply for firefighters.
