My husband and I went tonight and had the greatest time. So inexpensive to play a few games and have a few drinks. The owners are hilarious and fun to talk to. Not a fancy establishment, but homey and comfortable. Will definitely be back.

It was nice to visit while the small butterfly house was open (approx. Father's Day to Labor Day). A knowledgeable docent was on hand to give us the names of the types of butterflies and answer questions. This is not a huge exhibit, nor one with dozens of types of butterflies. The flower beds and planters on the grounds are attractive. We also took time to walk in the conservatory.

Went here both evening I was in town for a conference. Great better end boutiques, still ample parking on Friday and Saturday evenings, with good food options inside the mall area. Out door fireplace to sit at on a cold evening
4. Aut-O-Rama Twin Drive In Theatre

How rare drive-in theaters have become across the country. Have you ever seen those clips at the beginning of the movie where they show the statistics and photos of all the drive-in theaters that have closed? It's devastatingly sad; however, Aut-O-Rama Twin Drive In Theatre is anything but sad. I have fond memories of the drive-in theater throughout my childhood. Given the option for a regular movie theater, I would choose the drive-in every time. It is open from early Spring through late Fall with current titles being played on both screens. They do a great job! In recent years they changed their policy prohibiting outside food and beverage, but their snack bar has a plethora of options! It is a little over-priced, but you are supporting the operation of the theater through your food/beverage purchases. The entrance fee itself is affordable (especially since it covers two movies). And you get to enjoy this all from the comfort of your own car. Local staple. Hidden gem. Come on a clear summer night with the family!

If you visit, DO NOT SWIM HERE!! Repeated: DO NOT SWIM HERE. There's a deadly rip current from the power plant that causes many to drown. There's so many drownings here, this beach should be closed. It's not a normal Lake Erie beach. The power plant shoots water into the lake that causes a current that kills many. Add a bit of wind and it's especially deadly. The city thinks the problem is solved by banning swimming near the plant. This beach is just as deadly.
The pier is good for fishing. It's nice clean and safe but I will never swim off that beach as long as I live.

I've been to several tribute shows at this venue over 2 years and we've always had a good time. Admission is reasonably priced. Lots of free parking and easy access. Employees at the ticket table have always been very friendly. The entertainment has always been enjoyable. David Brighton's Space Oddity is a must see. Would like to see "designated" smoking areas. Not a fan of secondary smoke. Also, inside restrooms would have been great. That's why I gave it 4 stars. No place to wash hands and porta-johns never have hand sanitizer in them.
7. Great Northern Mall

Great Northern Mall near Cleveland hosts shopping, Macy's and JCPenney department stores, Dick's Sporting Goods store, and over 120 more shops and restaurants. The mall is twelve miles southwest of Cleveland on I-480. Find convenient family parking near the H&M and Dillard's mall entrances.

The GNM gets super busy this time of year, and Starbucks' BOGO sale resulted in some congestion, but it wasn't insurmountable. The decision to place a ballet performance right in front of the Dick's store was questionable, however. We had to wade through and in front of parents trying to watch their kids perform and it seemed dangerous because we weren't sure we wouldn't get smacked in the face by a dancer! Just a bad logistics decision, especially considering that there were plenty of much better staging options.
But the store selection is good and staff was pleasantly surprising.

Hop on a bicycle, lace up your running shoes or take your time strolling through any part of this scenic 60-mile long string of parks and garden areas.

There are multiple reservations/nature centers that make up the 'Emerald Necklace'. Each one is in a unique setting. It is truly a gem of Ohio- other states aren't as fortunate to have anything like this. If you have free time, I really recommend getting involved with one of their volunteer programs- great for high school students and adults of all ages.
9. Lake Erie Nature & Science Center

Great for children to see tortoises, rabbits, fish and birds. Their was also a fox, a few snakes and frogs. The birds were in small and old cages but was told most couldn't fly or were being rehabilitated to be released at a later date.
Many programs exist for scouting groups, children's camps or family learning centre but not really geared to the passing tourist. This recreation is free so if you want to fill in an hour or practise your photographic techniques you won't be disappointed. Just don't expect a mini zoo.
If you are looking for bird feeders or a variety of bird seeds then their little shop is sure to have what you are looking for. If it is advice you are after then the lady that runs it is extremely knowledgable.

I visited Crocker Park for my birthday weekend. We had hotel reservations at the Hyatt Place (right next to the movie theater), so my boyfriend and I decided to go see Moana after dinner at Cheesecake Factory. I really enjoyed this movie theater! This place is huge - somewhere around fifteen different theaters and an escalator. The seats in the theater are not the big plush recliners, but they do recline slightly and you can lift up the armrest in between seats if you would like. As we were leaving, we saw that they have Christmas classics showing every Saturday at noon for $5 (which is a real deal, because most things in Crocker Park aren't cheap - our tickets for a Friday night were about $12 each). And if you have a Regal membership card, you could also get a drink and popcorn combo for $5 during the Christmas movie. We came back the next day and saw A Christmas Story! I would recommend this movie theater to anyone visiting the area.
