Don't let the exterior of Cleveland's Duck Island intimidate you. Sure, the building may seem a bit grandiose and intimidating from the outside, but once you find your way in and get comfortable, you'll find that the nightlife venue seems to hark back to a classier era when the simple things like sitting close to your partner, having a quiet conversation and enjoying a well-made cocktail were things that were all worth celebrating. Happily, at Duck Island, they still are.
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.
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.
