Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Cleveland right now.
A little bit Midwest and a little bit East Coast, Cleveland has continually shrugged off it's image as an irrelevant or unappealing city, adopting the philosophy that living well is the best revenge. Major attractions such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, the Great Lakes Science Center, the Theater District, and the Gateway sports venues anchor the city's cultural scene, and a world-class orchestra, stunning art museum, and lush parks at every turn don't hurt either. Neighborhoods such as the Flats, the Warehouse District, the Gateway District, and North Coast Harbor buzz with restaurants, shops, and nightclubs.
So Cleveland's terrain isn't exactly alpine, but the guides here take all comers to rocky outcrops in the Cleveland Metroparks. Outdoor dates are limited to the summer, but the indoor facility, with its indoor top rope climbing wall, bouldering area, and weight-lifting equipment, is open year-round. Rental equipment and classes are available. The gym is a 10-minute drive from downtown Cleveland.
More than 400 interactive exhibits and daily demonstrations and an OMNIMAX theater await you at this indoor-outdoor educational center. Science and technology displays include a bridge of fire, a touchable indoor tornado, and an especially good area that focuses on the environment of the Great Lakes region. A working wind turbine on the front lawn provides the museum with supplemental, renewable power.
