Subject: OT: Suggestions for things to see/do in Cleveland OH?
Hi all,
I'm hoping some members from our Midwest contingent can offer a bit of
advice. We're taking three of our grandchildren (ages 6, 9, and 11) for a
few days to Cleveland for a short vacation visit to Six Flags amusement
.

Bill;
I am not sure how long you will be in town or when, but in no particular
order, here are a few things I like:
1. Near the end of East 9th Street, you have the Rock n Roll Hall of fame
(special John Lennon exhibit), USS Cod (WWII submarine, tours), USS Mather
(ore ship, tours), Tall ships (schooners and such, tours through this
weekend, sailing away on sunday), Great Lakes Science Center (Omnimax
theater is showing the Amazon and Amazing Caves depending on time) and the
Goodtime III which has very nice tours of the Cuyohoga River where you can
observe just about every imaginable type of bridge (scissors, lift, etc).
2. University Circle Cleveland Museum of Art, ("The Model Wife" exhibit is
of particular interest, also did a nice job of renovating its knights armor
exhibit) the Crawford Auto museum (great vintage stuff), Children's Museum
(totally interactive, your grandkids would love this), Hershey Children's
Garden (giant tree house and kids interactive stuff, next to the Botanical
Gardens which is mostly in renovation right now) Natural History museum,
Health Museum, Severance Hall (home of the Cleveland Orchestra, very pretty
inside, tours, Cain Park Arts festival (this weekend). Little Italy is in
this area if you like good Italian food.
3. Miscellaneous. Terminal Tower (observation deck on the 42 floor),
Cleveland Library Garden (small neat reading area), Lolley the Trolley tours
of Cleveland (nice overview), Lake Farm Park (nice for kids), the Cleveland
Zoo (nice, especially the rain forest), metroparks for picnicing, Tower City
(terminal tower) for shopping. About 2 hours to the west are Cedar Point
Amusement Park (a most amazing variety of roller coasters, the world's
tallest?) and the Lake Erie islands (fishing and general fooling around).
About 1 hour to the east is Mentor Headlands which is a very nice beach if
you like sand and water.
Be sure to bring bathing suits with you to Six Flags and get ready to walk
across that %@*)!@# boardwalk.
Well, that should keep you busy.
