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.
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 Rocky River Nature Center offers several excellent recreation trails designed more for walking and getting closer to the natural beauty of Cleveland's Rocky River Reservation. The beautiful area stretches out north of Cedar Point in North Olmsted.
