Books By The Park At Parkside

Catching a rough but impressive up-and-coming band or seeing an established group play at Cleveland's Agora Theater and Ballroom is much like having the musicians hang out in your living room. The entertainment venue is thick with retro charm and a certain kind of roughness that is superbly genuine. The sound system may be a bit distorted and the crowd may not be the most refined, but the spirit of the venue only adds a sense of authenticity to whatever is happening on stage. There are two stages for concerts as well as a smaller lounge for more low-profile performances.

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History brings various aspects of the world's natural history to life in its signature dinosaur exhibits and other equally compelling presentations. Not only will the kids love discovering some of nature's most dramatic aspects, but mom and dad will enjoy watching the kids get excited about learning, too! There are various traveling and permanent exhibits as well as a popular planetarium and stunning observatory.

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.
