Things To Do
Downtown Cleveland
There's always something to do downtown, from the restaurants and Hilarities on E. 4th St., to the Rock Hall, to relaxing in one of the public green spaces by Lake Erie.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
You can spend a whole day here looking at exhibits from Elvis to Taylor Swift to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. There's also a whole floor dedicated to making your own music.
The Cleveland Museum of Art
World class art museum with free general admission. Special MIX event the first Friday evening of each month lands on the weekend of the wedding.
Ohio City & West Side Neighborhoods
A great Cleveland neighborhood with plenty of restaurants, cafes, shops, and sites including the West Side Market.
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo
We'll be in the Primate, Cat, & Aquatic building after regular operating hours for the reception, but come earlier in the day and see everything there is to offer at the zoo. There are baby tiger cubs!!
Memphis Kiddie Park
A park just for the little ones, take your kids to ride the coaster here and brag to John that they have a credit he'll never get!
Edgewater Park & The Emerald Necklace
One of the best lakefront parks in the city, Edgewater, is part of the Cleveland Metroparks park system. The Metroparks has reservations throughout the city and county, encircling Cleveland with an "Emerald Necklace" of green space.
Lakewood
The near west suburb of Lakewood is where John & Kelly's first apartment together was. There are tons of restaurants (including Woodstock BBQ, where John is the pitmaster) shops and parks. Check out the Solstice Steps for a sunset over the lake!
Coventry Village
Head over to the east side and into Cleveland Heights and explore places like the historic Grog Shop, record stores, book stores, and more.
