This is a great gem of a place. A self made man, last log cabin President, rock star of politics, death was more grieved than Lincoln's, and an incredible wife, Lucretia. Tour wonderful, tour guide, Barbara was just terrific. Spent two great hours and could have spent longer. Go. Go now.

Fun place for the entire family. This is the minor league affiliate of the Cleveland Indians. Good variety of food, kids play area & outfield lawn seating so smaller children do not have to stay seated. Minor league baseball rules ban outside food or drink being brought into the stadium.
3. Eastside Relics

Reviewed By YoAdrian99 - Denver Colorado
This place is remarkably clean and organized for an antique shop. It actually appears more like a museum. The relics here are geared slightly more towards men, which of course I enjoyed very much, although there really is something for everyone. You could easily spend 3-4 hours taking it all in. Highly recommended
4. Squire's Castle

Reviewed By Danielle B - Wooster, Ohio
This castle is inside a Cleveland Metropark and is free to stop at. There is plenty of room to picnic on the grounds as well as some pavilions where parties could be held. The castle itself is neat to see and is empty on the inside but there are plaques describing what was in each room. A nice side trip when travelling through the area.

Lovely place to go for a hike . The tower and canopy tree walk were fun . Felt the canopy tee walk was a very short one . Don't forget to pay at the entrance if you would like to go to these two places . If you don't pay , you can go around the place and hike but I suggest paying and going to the two places .

There's plenty of parking, picnic tables, playground and a beautiful view of Lake Erie in the far distance!
8. Kirtland Temple
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 63 reviews
Kirtland Temple and Museum:http://www.kirtlandtemple.org/history.htmlhttp://www.kirtlandtemple.org/tourinfo.htmlThis is one of the most historic buildings in Ohio and an amazing example of pre-Civil War carpentry.
Reviewed By BLTurpin - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The Kirtland Temple, owned and administered by The Community of Christ, is most attractive to anyone interested in religious history. There is certainly reason to visit if one is interested in architecture or local history, but this site is primarily about religion, those who believed Joseph Smith to be a prophet, and the community that built up around Smith's believers.
It is possible to walk around the temple without a guide, but in order to go inside you must be with a tour group. Thus, it makes more sense to start your visit at the Visitor's Center. The Visitor's Center has a small museum which explains the temple and which presents artifacts, documents, and history relating to the temple's construction. The original finial is also on display in the lobby as well. Visitors watch a short film and learn about the temple as well as The Community of Christ, the church which owns and operates the temple today.
After the film concludes, a guide will walk with your group the short distance to the temple (approx 100-150 meters.) The day we visited it was raining heavily, but the guides are well equipped and will provide umbrellas.
Once you arrive, the guide will lead you up the stairs to the second floor. The stairs are steep and there are a lot of them. This building upper floors of the building are not accessible to anyone who cannot climb stairs. The unusual architecture, features, and detailing of the hall are explained - visitors may sit down in the congregation area but are not allowed into the pulpit areas. Columns are open to show the ropes and pulleys that controlled the curtains (veils).
After the second level, visitors are guided back downstairs to the ground level. The third floor is not available to visitors on the current tour. On the ground floor, more is explained about the religious history including the building's dedication and first-hand accounts of those in attendance. The guide closes by having the group sing "The Spirit of God Like a Fire is Burning," Hymn #2 in the LDS hymnal which is sung at every Latter-Day Saint temple dedication.
The Community of Christ is welcoming to all people of all faiths. They are used to getting bus loads of LDS visitors and are perfectly at ease conversing with everyone. The Community of Christ are careful caretakers of the temple, using it both to tell the story of how it was built and what it meant as well as use it for some of their contemporary services. The day we visited there was a performance of hymns in the evening.
I highly recommend a visit to the Kirtland Temple. It won't take long and will provide significant insights into the people who lived, worked, and worshipped in the area in the 1830s as well as the legacy of their sacrifices.

This area of Kirtland was settled by early members of the LDS/Mormon church. The area has grown in recent years as the church has acquired more land and buildings. There is a nice Visitor's Center, where we browsed a little and then watched a video about the history of the LDS church members in the area. Parking, entry, and the tour are all free. We then took a guided tour of the various buildings that have been restored to the way they were in the 1830's. The buildings included a general store, a house, an ashery, and a sawmill. The ashery was very interesting in terms of being unique in the US, and we learned a lot about what an ashery is and how it was operated. The Newell Whitney store portion contained several stories about the Mormon owners and occupants, including the Whitneys and Joseph and Emma Smith. We spent a couple hours browsing and on the tour and enjoyed our visit.

Recently went to get my dry-suit certification. Great staff. My pool instructor, Tom, was very patient and attentive.
He gave a nice presentation during the classwork portion of the class and had lots of helpful hints during the water session. Highly recommended place for classes and gear. Their prices are reasonable too.
Modern and good conditioned rental equipment too.
