The Fire Museum of Memphis welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday. Admission is $10.00 for adults; $9.00 for seniors, $9.00 for children ages 13-17, and $8.00 for children ages 3-12. Children under 3 are FREE.
Contrary to some posts on the Internet, there are no days with free admission, as some other Memphis attractions have.. We apologize for any inconvenience. Free admission is only offered to museum members (must purchase a membership) and Red Door Members of the Memphis Fire Department.
THE FIRE MUSEUM OF MEMPHIS IS OPEN DAILY FROM 9 AM UNTIL 4:30 PM. HOWEVER, GUESTS ARE ONLY ALLOWED IN UNTIL THE LAST ADMISSION AT 3:30 PM. This is to allow each guest at least one hour to tour our facility and see each exhibit. We hope you enjoy your experience at the Fire Museum of Memphis.
This week is 9/11 Memorial Week. Although no formal service is planned for this year, the Fire Museum of Memphis will display a wreath in honor of those killed in the attack on America on September 11, 2001. Feel free to come by the museum and reflect on that day, especially the 343 New York City firefighters who perished at the World Trade Center in New York City.
I had the good fortune to visit Ground Zero last year with my son, Scott. It was a tremendous experience that I highly recommend all of my fire service friends to go see.
