If you'd like to just walk in, though, come by the second Saturday of the month, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. It's free to visit. See photos and artifacts that tell the story of the history of firefighting. This is a small museum but it has hundreds of artifacts. In addition, there's a modern fire truck to experience outside, and a working fire hose. Parking and restrooms are available.

The Raleigh Fire Museum Second Saturday open house is a monthly public event where visitors can explore local firefighting history through hundreds of artifacts and hands-on equipment. Located at the Keeter Training Center, this volunteer-run museum opens its doors on the second Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with no admission fee. This stop is best suited for toddlers through early elementary-aged children who are fascinated by emergency vehicles. While the indoor museum space is small, the real highlights for kids are outside, where they can climb aboard a modern fire truck and try out a real, working fire hose. Because the museum is only open to the public for four hours a month, it makes a perfect, low-stress Saturday morning outing. You can easily pair a quick thirty-minute visit here with a trip to a nearby park, making it an easy addition to your weekend routine.
