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.

WOW... I might be almost 30 but this was a FUN day! my boyfriend took me here on my birthday since…read moreit's been on my list for a while and we ended up being here for 4-5 hours!! There are SO MANY rooms and interactive things to do & keep busy! Ohio animals/bugs, planets, body system, fish, birds, coyotes, otters, etc!!!!! They have a movie theater that shows different short movies (~ 30-45 mins) & a planetarium - sadly we missed the shows for the planetarium... BUT we will be back!! We watched a T-Rex film that I will say, I thought was going to be dumb.... But again was actually so cool! Do not underestimate this museum! Plus Cuyahoga county residents get in for free on the weekends & according to their events page.. they hold SO many fun activities for kids and adults - like yoga! I cannot wait to come back & explore this place again (especially the planetarium) & participate in some of there events! Thank you for the sweetest staff & a great day!

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.

This was surprisingly my first time viewing the entire Rock and Roll Hall of Fame…read more Ive been for performances before and outdoor festivals and always had a good time. I had family in town and their only request was to see the Rock Hall, so I made it happen. They are currently doing construction and we had to enter in a different entrance. The staff was so nice. The exhibits were informative and there was so much to see and learn. The interactive sound lab was a hit for young and old alike. I will be back, especially after the 2026 induction occurs and the exhibits change again. The gift shop was so fun also.

I feel kind of sad leaving a bad review, because this was a bucket list item for both me and my…read morehusband since we were little kids. 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.

It's nice, but it's also a bit pricey. Ordered the family pack, 2 adults and 2 kids 12 and under…read more The whole exhibit took about an hour, taking our time and shuffling between crowds. Things could be better- there were 3 exhibits that were broken. Also, there should be more cleaning. Most of their illusion relies on reflection. But with all the reachable mirrors being dirty, it looses its appeal. The staff was friendly, helpful and went around and showed guests how to interact with the exhibit and uphold the rules around no food/drinks. Overall, nice that Cleveland has something to draw people in, however with a bit of effort, it can even be better.

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.
