FREE MUSEUM warrants a 5/5 stars. No complaints…read more The Transformer Station is a small and free museum that is managed by the Cleveland Museum of Art as a satellite campus. 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

Interesting lighting highlights the art and adds ambience for concerts. The acoustics were a little lackluster but not so much that it ruined the concert. The group was an acoustic jazz ensemble. Very intimate and personal setting for a concert. Small bar set up in the next room/gallery had wine, beer and spirits. Acrylic chairs and a few high top tables in back with better chairs. Small parking lot out front. Scan and Pay. Street parking and a nearby garage. Several local bars for after party.

Great museum, the interactive exhibits are amazing. I really enjoyed the evolution rooms…read more Definitely geared towards the kiddos, they seemed to be having a blast. Cafe is also definitely geared more towards the kids tastes compared to other museum cafes in the area, which makes sense. Lots of chicken tenders, grilled cheese, burgers, etc. Some of the animals outside did seem kind of anxious, which made me feel a little sad for them. Lots of pacing. However I think it may be because it was their feeding time.

I've been to Cleveland a few times now and I usually stop by the nearby Museum of Art, but I…read moreFINALLY decided to check out this spot today and I had so much more fun! I've been to my fair share of natural history museums, and while this one is compact, it is very modern and packs a punch! When you enter, you're immediately greeted by a giant dinosaur and that set the tone for the whole visit, I felt like I kept seeing dinosaur bones everywhere! It took me a moment to orient myself to the museum layout, but looking back it's pretty compact and I could've easily wandered and enjoyed most of the museum in a couple hours. I especially enjoyed how interactive the earth section was, and this is silly but sit on those rock-looking cushions - they are SO comfortable! The little planetarium area was also very cool, and I would consider seeing a show in there next time! The dioramas are by far the most beautiful/engaging I've seen, and with between the fish video cave and the outdoor animal area, I felt like I also got a mini trip to the aquarium and the zoo. Overall I had an amazing time and this spot is super baby/toddler friendly! Note: If you have ASTC membership, admission is included! As a non museum member, I'd recommend street parking. It's much cheaper than the flat rate garage fare.

Significant museum holdings document the life and development of Ukrainian immigrants and their contributions to America, as well as ongoing worldwide developments in the present day. Of particular interest to many will be the extensive catalog collection of Ukrainian Pysanky eggs, which are categorized by region of Ukraine. Each region having distinctive decorative differentiations that relate to local customs, traditions, familial and belief structures. Housed in a separate building to the rear of the main museum, which is a house, is a meeting facility where lectures and presentations are frequently given. Ukrainian community meetings are also held here. This building houses collections of Ukrainian artwork, and an extensive historic library of books by Ukrainian authors, historic Ukrainian language, newspapers, and other publications from both Ukraine and United States. In a slow but steady manner, this collection is in the midst of a digitization process. The holdings are extensive, and so I would expect that this will take a significant amount of time and resource to accomplish. A gift shop is operated which contains a variety of cultural items, pysanky egg making supplies, books, and literature, jewelry, and clothing. There is a large historic park just across the street from the museum. Many historic buildings are in the neighborhood and it is worth some time to drive or walk around to have a look at them. This will give visitors a great feel for what being a member of the Ukrainian community has been like historically.

My friend had suggested we check this event out. Parking would've been pretty difficult but she had…read morea parking pass to one of the nearby garages. It was about a 5min walk to the festival. Tons of people! We were packed like sardines within just a few blocks of the street. Some of the restaurants were open but for the most part, people were standing around or getting food and leaving. I'm not huge on Italian food, but the marinara smelled so good! I got a meatball sub while my friend ordered an Italian sausage with one meatball. Delicious! It doesn't interest me to come back to the festival, but I'd come back to the neighborhood to try a restaurant. It's just too chaotic. And it seemed better to have cash. We had gotten food from Trattoria. They took credit card but discouraged cards since there would be an additional $2 fee. It's interesting to know the history of this neighborhood. It surrounds the Catholic Church. They were reciting the rosary as we we were there. Not a bad event to check out! Just didn't seem to have tons of seating for you to hang around.

BRING SOME CASH!! I…read morethink anyone who goes to Cleveland should try out the Feast of Assumption if they're at the area. The feast happens every year during early August. Check out Corbo's stall. They take credit cards, and have a wide variety of food from spaghetti to cassata cakes. The other stalls range from mundane things like lemonade to frog legs or mussels. Drink options are surprisingly limited. There's a carnival area where all the drunk frat girls frequent, and the typical comfort food stall that sells cotton candy and caramelized apples. There's also a hole in the wall for gambling if you walk toward the carnival. But to me, the Feast of Assumption brings nothing new to the table since I've already been to Little Italy. Most food sold at the feast has a jacked up price. I paid $9 for a bowl of basic spaghetti and a meatball. If you're religious, then you'll be happy that money went to the church that sponsers this event. But if you care nothing for charity, then just go to these restaurants during a normal week for bigger portions. Parking is awful. Little Italy is blocked off, so forget about parking close by. I'm glad I stayed nearby. Prepare to fork over at least $10 for parking.

Their family home is the main draw, and it looks exactly as it did in the film complete with the major award in the window. I was told people lived here and eventually gave up due to privacy, now it's available to rent to stay for short times! Next door is the bully's house as well, with a museum and welcome center across the street. Street parking is plentiful, they have a small dedicated lot at the store. There are lots of great restaurants and pubs nearby too.

We came to Lorraine Ohio for a girls dance competition, and had an afternoon off. This museum is like no other I've ever visited. We started at the gift shop what an amazing display of artifacts, memorabilia, and Christmas decor, much of it styled out of the 1940s era. While there we had a pleasure of meeting the young lady who played the part of Santa's elf at Higby's department store. She had returned for a reunion weekend with a cast from the movie. The neighborhood looks very much the same the scenes in the movie. The house itself is beautifully restored inside and out. Unlike other museums, this one is extremely interactive. I crawled underneath the kitchen sink and had my kids take photos of me. My granddaughter put Randy's bib around her neck and gobbled away at a dinner plate. Upstairs we rattled around through the bedrooms, the bathroom (the decoder ring was sitting on the sink). I highly recommend this museum!

They have really done a fantastic job of taking you through the history of Hungary including the vast number of beautiful castles, skilled porcelain factories, the culture of the people. Also pre-WWI and the break offs from Hungary that created Yugoslavia, Slovakia, Romania, Czechoslovakia and Austria in 1920. They have many artifacts including an Hungarian library. Videos, music and architecture are all covered as well. The gift shop has numerous items all from Hungary and crafts made from local Hungarians. Mary Jane & Bev were delightful to meet and are very well versed in Hungarian History. I'm so glad I visited and have Hungary on my trip list now. So much rich culture that makes you want to see it on foot!
