OHIO

Huntington Beach:

A 20 minute drive from the city, this beach is popular with the locals and in a very upscale area of the city (the founder of Swiffer had his house there for years). The beach is free and at the bottom of a very long set of stairs. Parking can be limited, so plan accordingly. The summer sees big crowds as families head there to beat the heat and enjoy the beautiful lakeshore.

Rock n Roll Hall of Fame:

This museum is incredible for adults, especially those that love music. It is good for older kids who can appreciate music. It is not great for little kids. The artifacts are awesome, but don’t make a ton of sense to littles and there isn’t anything interactive to engage them. While it is very easy to navigate, it’s on the louder side in certain spots and can be very overstimulating for kiddos. If you have a sitter to let them run around the grassy area outside, head in, otherwise, I’d suggest waiting until they are older or bringing headphones.

Rocket Arena:

Home to the Monsters, Cavs and soon to be WNBA expansion team, the arena has a spacious sensory and nursing mother’s room to create family-friendly spaces. All teams have poster creation stations and interactive elements around the concourse specifically for kids and families. Food prices have gone up recently so plan accordingly for feeding the family at the event. Very kid-friendly entertainment and the mascot is walking around the whole game, happy to take photos and engage.
