It is also very family friendly and offers tons of activities for kids. There are things to do both inside and outside. It is not for the faint of heart. To see everything it involves lots of walking. There are some food trucks. I feel like there could have been more. Also the drink vendors inside did not have water available. The building is so large air is not an option and it gets very warm. If you want to learn about fun resources we have in Cleveland this is the place for you. Did you know Cleveland has a Ghostbusters team? It is a shame it only happens once a year, but the planning that goes into this event has to start when the last event ends.

What is wrong with me that I forgot to update my review a longggg time ago? The 2019 IngenuityFest…read morewas simply exceptional. It was one of the best experiences I have had at a Cleveland arts event in recent history. I felt such a deep connection to every activation in every nook and cranny at this zany and wonderful event. At the 2019 festival, I was so thrilled at the commitment they made to accessibility. There were clear accessibility markers on their maps, accessible seating opportunities and just a general heightened awareness that felt palpable. It says so much to me about a business or organization that takes the time to live up inclusivity values and not just use them as buzzwords. As always, the immersive art, hands-on activities, music, dance and off-the-beaten-path installations were amazing. There was always something to see, do, touch or listen to. Everything is an intersection of science, technology and creativity. Ingenuity can be hard to describe if you've never been. Do yourself a favor and get there, explore and fall in love with Cleveland arts. You won't regret it!

Another Cleveland museum crossed off the list! I took my boyfriend here a few months ago and we had…read morea great time, spending a few hours looking around, before needing to leave as they were closing to the public to host a private wedding reception (great location for that, btw. The building is gorgeous!) It did need to have better signage throughout and I wish the layout was a bit less random as we kept circling back and forth and not knowing what we had and had not seen. Anyway, as of August 2025, the cost was $15 a ticket per adult for entry. The Hay-McKinney Mansion was included in the ticket price. We probably should have waited to go in a free tour because information was scarce. I liked touring the mansion but I had a much better time going through the non mansion of the museum complex. I am glad we were able to attend the doll exhibit before it went away later that month. I grew up collecting American Girl dolls and Madame Alexander dolls and this filled me with nostalgia. I also loved the fashion in WWII exhibits. The outfits were fabulous! They closed off a gallery and the outside for a wedding that was about to begin. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and I wish I could have been invited, lol. There were also temporary exhibits on black photographers, women in politics, mini bikes, the superman hum vee from the 2025 I had a good time looking through the Crawford auto aviation museum and of course, riding the massive and free, carousel! It's almost 125 years old and cost 3 million dollars to restore and each horse is hand carved out of wood. The ride is a must-do for all ages! Overall, a good local city museum with some awesome things inside.

I'll never forget moving to New Jersey in the mid-90s and meeting the lady who would eventually…read morebecome my wife. During one of our first dates, she commented that I knew more about her hone state than she did. Though I doubt that was the case, I had made it a point to learn about the place that my broadcast career took me at the time. Had I been moving to Cleveland, this would have been the spot to learn more about the city and area. My daughter is here as a patient of the Cleveland Clinic. She awaits a transplant and has lived here for a few months already (in Parma). I took a quick weekend trip here to visit her and learn more about the culture. This museum offered a wonderful crash course. I've always thought of this town as the dingy, cold locale for unfortunate fans of the Browns and Indians. I was totally wrong. In fact, Cleveland was very much a player in our country's industrial age. (Far more than my home state of Texas!) Detroit seems to get all the credit for the automobile industry, but Ohio -- particularly Cleveland -- really got there for the cash. Who knew? There are other parts of this museum that left me asking 'Why?' The motorcycle display, while pretty cool, doesn't have much to do with Cleveland any more than any other place. Some of the art ... same thing. Still, you'll learn more about Euclid Avenue than you ever thought possible, and the carousel is a marvelous piece of history.

The selection of art work and pieces are sparse but it is a small museum. I visited on a Sunday afternoon in September 2021 with 2 friends. We all enjoyed our time browsing the museum. The staff member that we encountered was helpful. There is an upstairs and a downstairs section. Exhibits are forever changing as in a typical museum so I hope to visit again. Hours are limited and so is parking. There is a small paid parking lot right in front of the museum. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 153/250 total reviews in 2026 - 994 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 9 July 2026

The tailgating scene there was a lot of fun. We parked in the municipal lot , which is located on the other side of the freeway from the stadium. Entry fee was fifty dollars , but with a carload of people , it makes it very reasonable. The party there was next level. People set up bars with couches , stripper poles, d j booths , and anything else you can think of. They get going way before game time. Alcohol is allowed in this lot. If you park in the lot associated with the stadium , alcohol is not allowed. I don't think grills are allowed either.But I'm not sure. Stadium is really decent also. Easy in and out the walk from the municipal lot takes about ten minutes and is not strenuous. Packers ended up losing the game and the fans were very nice about it. That's not always the case in other stadiums. I took at least 50 photos with opposing fans after the game. Rock and Roll hall of fame is also located right next to the stadium. If you're heading there for a game , you have to combine that with your visit. Pro football hall of fame is only an hour away.And also a really great experience. Appreciate the love and kindness shown by the people of Cleveland. GO PACK GO!!!!!

My friend and I concluded a day of serial-outings here in the Flats, and as soon as we emerged from the sketchy $5 cash only parking lot, we could smell the fun in the air. While we're on the topic of parking, you can avoid the extra $$ and headache of creeping around the Flats parking lot by dropping your car in one of the other lots up the hill, most of which were $5 for the event. It's just a short walk away, the better to appreciate the breeze coming off Lake Eerie. Beyond the fences and security guards, the festival branches out into two wings along the bank. Lots of local vendors have tents set up along the eastern wing on Old River Rd, and there are plenty of places to rehydrate (with booze), provided you stop by a Ticket tent first to get your ID checked and exchange money for tickets. Which you can exchange for drinks, which you exchange for new friends and good memories. Or something like that. On the lawn on the western branch, food trucks herd like cattle next to tents with kids' activities and a good ol' fashioned state fair booth selling buckets of fries, bourbon marinated chicken, and blooming onions (which this Cali girl had never heard of!). Saturday evening, we were graced by the presence of Slyman's and La Taqueria. Some of the vendors on Saturday were definitely underprepared for the amount of people there, and before 6:30p even hit La Taqueria had run out of every meat except ground beef, Maui Shaved Ice was closed, and Coastal Taco's booth was on hold with a hangry gaggle outside as their people ran the few yards into the restaurant to restock. Surprisingly, the port-a-potties were in good condition. I imagine things went a little smoother on subsequent days, but at least you can always fall back on one of the many rooftop bars nearby when the cute babies and long lines become too much to handle.
