Must See
Aug 2021
From the architecture of the building by I.M. Pei (did the glass pyramid at the Louvre as well) to the displays, this is a must see on your next stop in Cleveland.

If you live in NEO, take a day and go.
I was back visiting the area and my buddy had not been, so he took the day off work and came with me.

The exhibits are phenomenal, If you just go to see and not read, you can get through in about 2 hours or so. I stopped and read most of the provenance about the exhibits, and it took about 4 hours to hit the main level.

The gift shop is huge. This is one of the places if you visit that it is worth getting a souvenir from. It is an attraction and items are prices accordingly.

I grabbed a 1/4 lb hot dog on a toasted bun from a food truck parked out front (always there ) for $6

It will take you at least an hour longer than you expect
Jun 2022
Out best visit ever (4th or 5th) and things are still new. We spent 3 hours in the main floor exhibit (with 4 hours on the parking meter). Had to run and add to the stay. Fun, often interactive, informative and just great. Am now sorry I pretty much stopped focusing on music when the Beatles broke up ;-)

My son and I bonded over Rock and Roll
Jul 2020 • Friends
When my son and I left our confines of our RV (we left from our home in the NYC area the day before) I told him “let’s Rock!”
The Hall did not disappoint. One silver lining about this crazy pandemic is that after all the preparations and some closures of certain areas of the hall the place was all ours. No crowds and you could take your time without someone blocking your view of the memorabilia. We DEFINITELY will return. As I said it was so quiet that we had three parking meters right out front of the hall (only needed 2) for our 30ft Motorhome and that was a plus that saved us $25.00 for paid parking.

Ok Experience
Jan 2021 • Family
Some constructing of new exhibits going on. Lots of roped off areas due to covid, like the Garage to play instruments and the theatres. Food pricey, but good. We each bought a solo membership in February 2020 just before Countrywide lockdown. We were so excited.Well the Rock Hall also closed for about a month around Christmas. I asked them if they would extend my Families memberships a month longer to make up for the lost time, and they said no. Because they consider it a donation. So think twice before you buy a membership.

Great time!
Jul 2020 • Family
This museum has been on my bucket list for a while and so glad I was able to check it off! We visited during the reopening phase of the pandemic. The museum did a great job handling all precautions, including time tickets to limit crowds, temperature taking and attestation, mask requirements, and directed flow. While some interactive exhibits are understandably closed, it was nice to tour without the crowds and spend more time enjoying the awesome exhibits and listening to the best music ever. Loved it!

Worth a visit
Mar 2021 • Couples
My husband and I had always talked about going to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and finally visited- we had been vaccinated, were desperate for a change of scenery, had lots of airline credits from cancelled flights and there was one nonstop flight a day from the closest airport so we finally got there. It was worth a visit. I could have spent all weekend at one of the kiosks just listening to music. Some portions of the museum were closed but it the capacity was well controlled so it wasn’t too crowded. It was worth a visit.

For Those About To Rock
Aug 2019
I think pretty much anyone with even a passing interest in rock music could find plenty here to keep them entertained, such is the breadth and depth of this museum's remit. The majority of our visit was spent exploring the collection of memorabilia on the lower floor, which is set out chronologically to chart various genres over the years. The costumes, instruments, posters and other such items will resonate whenever you hit upon a favourite artist from your past and there's enough variety to keep things interesting throughout. Elsewhere, you can watch some films in the two theatres, record a track in the museum's recording studio, design and print your own band logo, check out various temporary exhibitions on the upper floors, spend all your money in the grossly overpriced gift shop and 'vote' for who you'd like to see inducted into the Hall of Fame (leading artist at time of visit - Motley Crue!!). We happily passed several hours in here and I enjoyed pretty much every minute.

exceeded our expectations
May 2022
Interesting exhibits that will work for the whole family. Fascinating history, cultural context, and artifacts from rock and roll music and its antecedents. Highly recommend the long clips being projected from the Beatles documentary by Peter Jackson. It was wonderful to see and hear the movie on a large screen. Highly recommend!

Mediocre At Best
Apr 2021
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame had been on my bucket for years. I finally made it in April 2021. I wish I had been told that MANY of the attractions would be closed before purchasing tickets. It was crowded and there was literally no direction given by staff regarding the management of the flow of foot traffic. Therefore, people were going in every direction possible trying to get a look at the exhibits. As expected, there was much reading to be done at each exhibit which was almost impossible. We were able to view a history type montage in one of the theaters, but the montage itself did not have any names of who the artists were on the screen at any given time so there were quite a few that were not familiar at all.
Puzzled as to why people would bring small children to a place like this is beyond me. I'm sure the children don't know or care what they are supposed to be looking at. Therefore, the screaming and fit throwing only added to the frustration of not being able to see what I went to see. I will not be returning.

COVID Hotbed
Aug 2020
HOF itself was great. Some areas "not open due to COVID", but we were in line elbow to elbow and then once inside, there were 30 people crammed in like cattle. It did not seem there were any actual measures taken to ensure social distancing. People took their masks off once inside and were within a foot of others. I didn't see any staff around to assist. The gift shop was, of course, open. The displays, artifacts and general experience was great though.
