Once you enter the glass-encased shrine, however, the only issue is how to sample six floors and six decades of rock memorabilia in a single visit. « less

This architecturally daring museum houses some fascinating memorabilia, ranging from costumes (worn by David Bowie, Michael jackson, John Lennon among others) to guitars to hand-written lyrics by many of the most prominent figures in rock 'n' roll. Lots of recordings, both familiar and obscure. The documentary films at the beginning of the museum are excellent and give a very good... More

I enjoyed the one-of-a-kind displays including MJs Thriller Jacket, Supreme's costumes, and handwritten lyrics by the Boss. I only wish that photographs were allowed as they are at the Country Music Hall of Fame. More

No photography?? What is up with that??? Oh well, there is sooo much to see you might have to take it all in during a couple of visits but at least allow yourself 4+ hours. Lots of memorabilia, lots to read, and lots of interactive exhibits to listen to…. The Hall of Fame Hall was one of our favorites, at... More

I am always amazed at all the cool stuff they have in this place. For those of us who came of age in the seventies, it is a fun and nostalgic trip. Love the "one hit wonder" exhibit. More

This is a blast. Follow the evolution of Rock from its roots in gospel, blues and soul, through to today. I have to agree that it would not hurt anything to let me take a picture of Jimi's handwritten lyrics or John's signature on the wall. I am still going to shell out the $20+ to see and hear these...

Really enjoyed it as there was SO much to see, actually maybe too much (but not really). Definitely start at the lower level and work your way up and, if you tend to get hungry bring a picnic or some money for the cafe, you may be there a while! All things considered the price of admission wasn't too bad... More

Was a really cool experience! Loved the exhibits and the multi levels! Only complaint is that you aren't able to take pictures of the memorabilia in the exhibits. You're only able to photograph a few select items outside the main exhibit halls on the main and lower levels. More

With three exceptions, the RnRHoF is outstanding. The place is amazing from its architecture and design all the way to its gift shop. The exhibits made me forget where I was and took me back in time. I wish I had two days because there was so much information to consume that it would take that much time. I started... More

The main reason for us, and most tourists, visiting Cleveland is to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This impressive building, with it's front facing pyramid facade, is located right next to Lake Erie and has plenty of parking in the area, as well as being easily walk-able to from most downtown areas. There is a TON of... More

Great museum to visit - the music kept us entertained throughout our visit. We enjoyed the U23D movie and the Inductees Video very much. The exhibits are well done and well documented. The restaurant inside the museum is nothing special but the staff is very nice and it does just fine for a quick bite during your visit. Interesting architecture... More
