There was a really cool ship like room with all the old controls around the room to give the feeling of piloting a boat. Seeing the original fresnel was also pretty memorable. But best of all was the lighthouse itself. It was a steep and narrow spiral staircase climb up to the top. Breathtaking views up there and we were able to walk around the circular deck at the top, it made me a bit dizzy so went back down. The climb back down was a little harrowing but there is a tall to hold onto and it was fine, Glad we went!

About a month ago, I talked to a lovely lady named Marty about using the lighthouse for our flash mob dance. She seemed as excited about the idea as we were! She went out of her way to help us with this project. We asked if we could go up into the lighthouse to film it from up above. But there was some construction going on. She actually talked to the construction workers to see when they were going to be inside to try to make it ready for us to go up! So when the day came, Marty was there to greet us and show us how to get up to the top of the tower. She even stayed to watch our crazy group of friends stream out from behind the lighthouse and dance to a special song for our special couple. We had an absolute blast! And Marty was a big help! Everyone at Fairport Harbor seems to really want to contribute to the community vibe and make sure that everyone feels welcome. We're very thankful to have such a beautiful lighthouse and beach and friendly folks in Fairport

I confess I knew almost nothing about our 20th president, James A. Garfield. Today, thanks to a…read morewonderful tour provided by Victor, a ranger with the National Park Service, I can now not only say that I know much more about him, but also that I would have voted for him as well. I learned a lot about politics in the late 1800's. Things have certainly changed. The James A Garfield National Historic Site is a treasure trove of history. The home is fabulous. Thanks to a generous 1934 gift from the Garfield children to the Western Reserve Historical Society, we can see the home as it looked when the Garfields lived there, complete with original furnishings and artwork. Transferred in 1980 to the National Park Service, we now can all enjoy this amazing home and its history by taking a tour. Lucretia Garfield was an extraordinary woman ahead of her time. After her husband was assassinated, she created a memorial library in the home, to preserve his books and presidential papers. The library included a fireproof vault to protect important documents. I loved the architectural details, coordinating wall paper, light fixtures, and the thoughtful touches that turned the lovely house into a home. I'd have happily paid for this excellent tour, but it was FREE. Honestly, I could go on and on. Definitely RECOMMENDED!

The building itself is stunning, with great architecture and tons of natural light that makes walking through the galleries feel really open and peaceful. They have works from Monet and other well known artists, which was really exciting to see in person. There's a lot to explore, so I'd recommend setting aside a few hours to really take it all in. Just make sure to plan your timing because they close at 5 PM. The staff throughout the museum were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. There's also a large gift shop with lots of unique items and a cafe inside the museum, which is nice if you want to take a break during your visit.

I will be back, especially after the 2026 induction occurs and the exhibits change again. The gift shop was so fun also.

But honestly, we should have just saved our time and money and found a Hard Rock Cafe. It's under construction, which can't be helped. All the workers we encountered were very nice. And at first, the SNL feature on the bottom floor was cool-- it was fun to see costumes from the Blues Brothers, Wayne's World, etc. But it was so, SO crowded. There was almost no possibility of getting close enough to actually look at or read anything. At the same time, we were often pushed by the crowd into areas/displays we really didn't care about. Very frustrating. On the upstairs floors--well, there's not a lot. I took pictures of Kurt Cobain's busted guitar and a couple of Ozzy's coats. The rest was just-- meh. The gift shop was pretty extensive, but again too crowded. I don't expect a private experience or anything, but being able to look at merch without being touched would be preferable. Again, I'm sad because I wanted to love it. But I did not.

Honestly, 'A Christmas Story' gets on my nerves. Sure, it's nostalgic. I was even that kid who…read morebegged for a Red Ryder -- and imagined being a hero with it. But the movie -- perhaps the dude who narrated it -- is just not my bag. Maybe it's the whiny little brother ... I don't know. The house, however? That's a totally different story. People line up here like it's the last place on earth. They dress up in bunny costumes and climb under the sink for photos. It's really cool to see this. Plus the place is nicely adorned with movie props. Only so many people can be inside the house at one time (fire codes), which makes it easier to grab photos. I'm told there is a line during the Christmas season, and that was certainly the case on my Dec. 24, 2025 visit. Good news: It moved quickly. There's a gift shop across the street, along with a museum, and the car and fire truck from the movie. For fans of this movie, this small block is Mecca.

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.
