Toledo is a big city. Many could say nothing but bad things about that city, but what about all of the good things that happen? Too many people focus on the negative and not enough on the positive. Toledo has so many fun things to do. So, the next time when you're in this city and are looking for something to do, remember these hidden gems.

1. The Toledo Zoo

This zoo isn't like any other zoo. It includes an insane playground for children, is equipped with a goat playpen, has a new aquarium with touch tanks, and boasts a really cool elephant exhibit. There is nothing like this zoo and no matter what time of the year it is, it is definitely worth a visit.

3. Toledo Sports Teams

From hockey to baseball, Toledo has a few great sports teams to watch. In the winter, stop by the Huntington Center to see the Toledo Walleye play some puck! In the summer, stop by Fifth Third Field to watch the Toledo MudHens hit one out of the park. In Toledo, you'll never be disappointed by the sports!

4. Tony Packo's

If you love local places, Tony Packo's is the place for you! Hungarian food is what they're all about and their world-famous chili dogs are where it's at. Toledo native Jamie Farr put Tony Packo's in the spotlight on his hit TV show "M*A*S*H." Farr's character had the line, "If you're ever in Toledo, Ohio, on the Hungarian side of town, Tony Packo's got the greatest Hungarian hot dogs, 35 cents." Right then, a Toledo legacy was born.

This is a dining experience that's worth having! It's a regular dining experience, but the food is amazing. The owner, Bruce Gradkowski, is a University of Toledo alumni and a current Pittsburg Steeler's quarterback. He brings good food and a great experience to Toledo with this restaurant.

This is new and it is a ton of fun, no matter how old you are. No matter what time of the year it is, if you find yourself bored, head over to SkyZone! It is always a good thing to let some energy out and what is a better way to do that than by jumping on some trampolines, jumping into foam pits, and playing dodgeball on trampolines?

11. Mr. Freeze

With two locations, this is the sure spot for a sweet treat! They are famous for their turtle sundae, although you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. They are very generous with their portions and it's very inexpensive. I would definitely recommend this on a nice summer night.

12. The Maumee River

There are many locations where you could enjoy this awesome part of Toledo. The water is nice and you can catch different fish from the river. Of course, the world famous walleye run occurs here and taking part in that would be a ton of fun!
