Start with basement fire engines, then helicopters and safety exhibits; ask whether the outdoor helicopter is open.
Choose two or three interesting floors and use the 10F rest room for a meal break.

The 5F outdoor helicopter may close for rain, snow, lightning, wind or heat; cockpit access is not guaranteed.
This is a museum rather than a playground; no running in galleries and meals belong in the designated rest room.

While my child enjoyed the helicopter, we adults could sit beside it and rest.

Children learn fire safety through play; there were things even we adults did not know.

The outdoor fire helicopter was popular and had a queue when we visited.

Most exhibits are indoors and Exit 2 connects directly. The outdoor helicopter closes for rain, snow, thunder, wind or extreme heat.
