    I go to 78th Street Studios every December to shop at the Cleveland Bazaar's holiday art festival…read moreand at least 1 or 2 additional times each year for other pop-up art fairs. There is always so many people here, bumping into each other, and fighting over parking, so it is a bit overstimulating. But it is worth it as it is definitely one of the BEST places that host art festivals/fairs at least a dozen or so times a year. Support local and keep up the good work! My only suggestion is to avoid parking nearby and just walk to 78th Street Studios until they respray the parking lot lines and fill in some of the potholes...

The 78th Street Studios is a huge arts studio that also has a theatre on the 2nd floor called the Blank Canvas Theatre. I visited for the first time probably in 2018 or 2019 then I came in 2023 and so on. I've attended their 3rd Fridays art event plus some plays at the Blank Canvas Theatre. It's always nice walking around 78th street studios. It can get a little overwhelming because the building is so big and you may get lost but just follow the signs posted on the walls to find out where you're going. I'll certainly be back. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 129/250 total reviews in 2026 - 970 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 17 June 2026

    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.

    We weren't planning to spend a day at the iconic house museum from A Christmas Story. One of our…read morekids spotted the advertising brochure in the Local Attractions rack in a hotel lobby. 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!

It is a treasure for anyone who loves 'A Christmas Story'. From the way that they've made the interior of the house resemble the sets from the movie, to the amazing museum and gift shop, this place is a must visit!
