Put the pedal to the metal when you burn rubber on the giant oval driving course at Airport Go-Karts. This is the largest and fasted go-kart speedway in Ohio and the folks at Airport Go-Karts have been keeping that tradition alive for 35 years. They offer two classes of karts that include Rookie Karts for kids and smaller drivers and Pro Karts for kids 16 years of age and older and for drivers with significantly more experience behind the wheel. The park is open seasonally, so make sure to check the website before your rev it up and go!
Nature lovers will feel right at home outdoors in the expansive Ohio and Erie Canalway. This National Heritage Area earned its designated title in 1996 because of its role in helping Ohio and our nation grow. Its status and recognition was to primarily preserve and celebrate the rails, trails, landscapes, towns and sites that all grew along the first 110 miles of the canal that sparked growth for not only Ohio, but for the entire nation. Among these beautifully landscaped 110 miles you'll find the Towpath Trail, America's Byway, the Cuyahoga Scenic Railroad and various county park districts.
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.
Be inspired or just let the magnificent collection of exhibits at the Cleveland Museum of Art overtake your senses when you visit this highly regarded facility.

Ancient Egyptian art sits alongside some of the most compelling contemporary art, and that fact dramatically underscores art's undeniable importance and influence throughout history.
