One of the world’s best orchestras...what else is there to say. Even when directed by visiting conductors, the Cleveland Orchestra sound shines thorough. And Severance Hall is elegantly beautiful and acoustically superb - regardless where you sit you will feel the power or the softness of this orchestra. With an early dinner, either at The Hall or restaurants nearby, along with preconcert lecture, and enclosed parking, you can make an entire evening of wonderful entertainment and convenience.

I went to the Cleveland Zoo with my daughter and 1 year old granddaughter. I was so impressed with the beautiful park. So many fun things to do, even with small children. They pulled out all the stops here to make this as interactive as possible for its visitors. The Australia exhibit has a little train that will take you through the dingo, wallaby, and camel areas, you can also walk through these areas as well and the wallaby’s can actually come into the paths where visitors are waking! You can even ride a camel if you want to! We purchased an additional “bracelet” for $10/pp that gave us unlimited 4d movies, train ride, and carousel rides in addition to discounts on the camel ride and feeding the giraffes. Most of the exhibits are up close and personal, not just waking through glass enclosed partitions like at some zoos. Feeding the giraffes was so cool and although my granddaughter wasn’t too fond of the camel ride, my daughter thoroughly enjoyed it. They have beautifully thought out landscaping and it was just gorgeous throughout. The tree house in the Australia exhibit area was “Disney” worthy and the Asia exhibit areas with the snow leopard looked like something you would find at Disney park as well. They offer zoo overnights - at very reasonable prices. Overall, this is a great family activity for very reasonable entrance fees. Would love to visit here again soon!

Visiting a graveyard may not be the first thing on your "to-do list" when visiting any city but many Americans today have forgotten that Cleveland was at one time one of the largest and most prominent cities in the United States with a rich (literal and figurative) history. The gravestones of American figures including John D. Rockefeller, President James A. Garfield, James Barnett, Eliot Ness, Garrett Morgan (founder of the tri-color. traffic light and gas mask), Henry A. Sherwin (founder of the Sherwin-Williams company), and others can be found here on the grounds. Statues and inscriptions of weeping widows, mighty archangels, life-sized ship anchors, broken columns and other mysterious masonic symbols can be found throughout the maze of ground and stone. A staunch yet gentle reminder of our own history and mortality. Visit before the sun sets.
