Reviewed By Peniel414 - Cleveland, United States
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 found the front desk to be informative and helpful. The museum was on the upper end $ wise for its size but I was satisfied. The added $3 each for the planetarium show. I wouldn’t recommend that if you are noise adverse. The smaller kids talked throughout, and whenever they moved in their chair the entire row moved. Now the museum it self had a very wide variety of exhibits. Seriously if you didn’t find several to interest you- you hate information. There were live animal exhibits and stuffed animal exhibits. Lots of interactive areas, and information presented in several methods. The cafeteria was the same company as the art museum. I can say that I had the chicken parakesh- lovely! It was $9.00, but I’ve had some seriously bad food at museums. Also all of it was on recyclable wear. I am willing to pay extra for that! I also enjoyed the gift shop- another very pleasant person helped us there. Most gift shops have the same as every place else- this added to the base. I recommend this museum!

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!
