Sure, Cleveland is the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, but don't let that fact lead you to think that the city is all about nostalgia when it comes to their rock and roll. The Beachland Ballroom is a special entertainment venue in Cleveland that takes great pride in presenting some of the newest and most cutting edge rock acts in the world. Their stage has welcomed so many different bands with such diverse styles and sounds but they all share one very essential characteristic–a love for music that rocks! Make sure to sign up for their mailing list on their website to be the first to know about upcoming shows and other promotions.

Climb aboard one of the country's most significant pieces of history when you visit the USS Cod Memorial. This is a World War II era GATO class fleet submarine that allows visitors to explore history from a truly deeper perspective. The USS Cod is listed as a National Historic Landmark and is docked in Cleveland. Visitors not only have the opportunity to tour this historically significant vessel, but also can learn more about it through a handful of interesting exhibits as well as the various materials that are available in the souvenir and gift shop.

Visiting the Huntington Reservation and Beach is like breathing in a breath of fresh air. The park has been a part of Cleveland Metroparks since 1927. During the warmer months of the year, the beach is a popular outdoor and swimming spot for families and fans of aquatic fun. The Huntington Reservation offers an excellent opportunity for a hike no matter what time of year it may be, as its level terrain makes the trail accessible to runners and hikers of all skill levels. You can also fish year round, and the breakwalls offer perfect vantage points from which to cast your line.

Artistic expression comes in many forms at Cleveland's Museum of Contemporary Art. For example, you can take in a visually captivating display of life-sized porcelain pigs facing a lectern or the sharp social commentary that is put forth by an exhibit that features various television monitors repeating nonsense syllables over and over again. Established in 1968, this museum features no permanent collections as to constantly attract (and challenge) art lovers to return periodically to see their impressive rotating exhibits.
