The tradition of excellence in local theater has been maintained in Cleveland since 1915 because of the tireless efforts of the professionals involved with the Cleveland Play House. The entertainment venue has many distinctions, not the least of which is the fact that it stands as the country's first professional regional theater. Since the lights first came up on its stage, more than 12 million people have enjoyed some truly memorable performances. In addition to featuring a busy performance schedule, the theater also provides various seminars and programs designed for everyone from children to aspiring actors and actresses.

Getting close to the natural amenities of a particular city is always a great way to gain a deeper appreciation for its surroundings. One excellent way to do that in Cleveland is to visit the Wildwood Marina. This is by far Cleveland's best walk-on head boat fishing charter service. The pros here have been offering this excellent one stop destination for over 25 years. There are several conveniences offered at the marina that will make your fishing excursion hassle free. These include a live bait and tackle store, fishing licenses, fish cleaning services and even a restaurant that serves up some very tasty grub. So cast your line out to the Wildwood Marina for a truly wild fishing tour experience.

One of Cleveland's favorite places to take a brisk walk while enjoying some visually captivating natural amenities is the Garfield Nature Center. The center is located on Mill Creek Lane, off the Broadway Avenue entrance of Garfield Park Reservation in Garfield Heights.
