- Alice CHouston98 contributionsLucky 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!Written July 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.Written March 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Patty BNashville, TN1,315 contributionsQuaint 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 visitingWritten February 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Take some time to walk round and soak it in.Written July 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LenEvanstonNaperville, IL611 contributionsWhile it was very cold and windy during our visit, we were impressed by the beach and landscape. There were a couple of guys surfing.Written November 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Matthew MFarmington, NY254 contributionsOverall 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.Written August 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
