    Amazing place with a old school vibe. Amazing products and food all around, visiting from FL, we don’t have many places like this down south, definitely a must see and try the perogies in the market cafe!

    What a great experience! Bill was a fantastic tour guide - full of enthusiasm and knowledgeable - with lots of tidbits about the movie and the making of the movie. Able to answer all questions! Highly recommend! Between the house, the museum, the grounds, and the gift shop - way more than we expected!!

    This zoo, named one of the best in the country by USA Today, is home to a sizable elephant exhibit. The overall arrangement of the zoo is perfect for a leisurely stroll.

    The park system is amazing for a city environment. My son relocated to Cleveland and picked this area in particular because of the opportunities to hike, run and experience nature.

    Rocky River Reservation was very accessible and a lot of history there. If you are climbing make sure to have a firm grip!

    Lucky us; we were visiting Cleveland and were able to order tickets to opening night of Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations. It ranks as one of the best shows I've seen in 50+ years of live theater including Broadway and London stages. The book is tight, the staging is glorious, the band and music are superb. And then there are the performers--athletes really--who sing and dance their way through 2 1/2 hours of action. I don't think a better cast could be found. Besides the group's personal and professional highs and lows is the sobering backdrop of prejudice, segregation, and the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. I left with music in my heart and the question of the cost of success in my mind.
    A word about the theater: It's beautifully restored and all of the staff welcomed us and gracefully moved the crowd along. We sat in seats 512-513 (door 8 aisle J, a short row of three seats upstairs). Our sight line was excellent and we easily heard every line. The seats were comfortable too. I must say a word about the ladies bathroom--best ever! There are lots of stalls and sinks, an entrance and exit door on each side of the bathroom, a hall to stand in, and two of the fabulous red-coat ushers stood inside the room and directed us to enter a stall as soon as someone emerged. It may not sound like much, but it was the icing on the cake!

    My daughters and I met in Cleveland for spring break and after viewing the reviews decided to stop here (my teacher daughter coaches chess) as part of our walking around the downtown area. So glad we did. The building is gorgeous. Do not miss the third floor exhibit area (after the small exhibit area keep walking toward the next room to see the chess sets). We were disappointed that the gift shop wasn't open but thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It is worth paying for the parking and spending some time downtown and if you do that, be sure and stop here.

    Quaint street with authentic Italian food. Cleveland's oldest restaurant Guarino's is there as well as some nice pastry shops.

    We enjoyed seeing this area, albeit small compared to NYC or Boston. Still worthwhile visiting

    You have to visit if you are a sports fan! Words cannot explain, you have to see it and feel it. Take some time to walk round and soak it in.

    While it was very cold and windy during our visit, we were impressed by the beach and landscape. There were a couple of guys surfing.

    Overall an ok natural history museum. We stopped by to kill some time on our way through Cleveland. We go to a lot of Natural History museums and this one felt a little small and pretty standard to any other natural history museum. They are in the middle of a huge renovation so may be very different when it is done. The day we were there they had NASA folks in with some VR stuff. That was definitely the highlight of the museum for us. It was a nice couple of hours-just didn't feel all that special or different from other experiences.
