County fairs always seem to bring out the best in people. That tradition still holds true at the Cuyahoga County Fair held every August. The fact that the fair has been held every year for the past 115 years speaks volumes about its tradition and popularity. Check out the farm animals in competition but don't forget to treat yourself to the fried cheese and other tasty snacks. More than twenty midway rides, 100 food vendors, country music and a demolition derby all make this a must-attend festival!
The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo does an impressive job of gathering various species of animals and presenting them in incredible reproductions of their natural habitats. When you step through the zoo's front gates, be prepared to not only discover more about animals and plants but to also learn about how to explore and protect our environment. The zoo is home to literally thousands of animals placed on rolling, wooded landscapes. Some are situated in the simulated Rainforest. Either way, an incredible experience awaits you at this award winning zoo.
