Well, to keep things simple, the Cleveland Zoo is something of a constantly changing environment. Similar to what wild animals experience. Part of the Cleveland Metroparks system, a gigantic series of parks that stretch throughout Cuyahoga County and neighboring counties in Ohio, this reserved space of land for both foreign and native wildlife has a little bit of something for everyone. For the herpeotologist, the avian lover, or just the kiddies that like to laugh at the hippos, this zoo has pretty much everything. With the special programs that it has every year, there is guaranteed to be something that everyone likes.
Well for starters, the admission is reasonable and the entire setup of the zoo is great. I warn you, bring lots of sunblock and comfortable shoes! If ytou want your exercise, this is one place to do it, considering the hill to the "Apes, Aquarium, and Cats" is roughly a mile long and a pretty good angle. Unless you want to laze out and take the train up there. (CHEATER!) The zoo offers a pretty good variety of animals, and plenty of things for the kids. Little boxes around the zoo are let kids put in a "ZooPass" for information about a specific animal, or commentary from the keeper. The ZooPass costs extra, but is good all year long. Plus the kiddies feel special, and wont throw things at the more open exhibits (although I won't mention what my landlord did with a slinky to the Flamingoes at the entrance).
To survive this day, make sure you bring a wagon or something similar for the kids. They will be tired as this zoo is a lot of walking, even for the most devout of walkers. Water or Kool-Aid is must! The zoo is relaxed on bringing beverages with you, as long as they are not in a glass container. I usually make a big jug of Kool-Aid and bring some plastic cups along. Whenever I am hiking that hill to the Ape building, I cannot tell you how nice it is to take a break to a refreshing cup of something to drink. Also, bring a hat and some sunglasses. Sunblock is one of those no-brainer bits, even though some of the exhibits are inside, the walk to get to them is outside!
The only thing about this zoo I WOULD NOT recommend would be the Rain Forest. It is a separate building that is humid, has free-flying birds, and is basically a bad mock-up of a South American rain forest. The animal collection stinks. If anything, I would only recommend the rainforest to take wedding photos in front of the waterfall in the beginning.
Overall, this zoo is a day worth of fun. Mondays have always had free admission (for Cuyahoga County residents), and anytime of year is good to go, although I prefer spring or close to fall. If you need a break with another species, check this place out!

I have a slew of pets and do a lot of rescuing. I have used this clinic for a number of reasons including regular annual check ups, to spay/neutering, to emergencies. I have dealt with most all of the Doctors. Everyone is great, kind and caring. I highly recommend this clinic.
However, this use to be a much more affordable clinic. They have raised their prices so much over the last few years that they are now pretty much compatible to most other clinics.
Therefore, if you do not mind the philosophy of a walk-in clinic, and are looking for good quality Dr's giving good quality care, then this is the place for you.

My husband and I visited this place this past summer. It has amazing gardens, built after famous architects and landscapers. The Japanese Garden was my favorite one. The gift shop has a great array of items, and I bought some wonderful pastry plates shaped as a flower, which have been a hit with all of my friends.

By far one of our favorite places to go in High School. We loved their falafel and milkshakes. They have an amazing variety of food (and people, it's a fantastic place to people watch). The staff is fast and friendly and dining there is always a pleasurable experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The best part of the Great Lakes Science Center is the interactive exhibits on the third floor. It allows kids (and grown up kids) to have science come alive for them. The OmniMax Theatre is great but not for the faint of heart (or stomach). We especially enjoyed the kids area that goes to the terrace overlooking Lake Erie. It's a beautiful view as well as something educational. Add to this its neighbors, the Cleveland Browns Stadium and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and it is a great destination.

We love eating at Lola. Even though pricey, we went for our anniversary. The food was fabulous. My husband isn't the most food adventurous type and he loved his food. The meat and scallops were cooked perfect. Everything really did make the occasion even more special.
We went back a second time for Cleveland restaurant week. $50/person and it was a three course meal with large portions. We still rave about the maple bacon ice cream. Thanks Michael for a great place in Downtown Cleveland. It's definitely worth a visit.
Pros: great food

In an already hectic holiday season I unfortunately had to make a weekend emergency call to get my main sewer line cleaned. But with a quick internet search, an appointment was scheduled...and a brieft hour later Jason (#960) showed up. From start to finish he was very courteous and professional. He took time to explain his work, recommend follow-up services and answer any question I had. Jason, and Roto-Rooter overall, took what could have been a time consuming headache and made it all go away with ease.
Thanks.
Pros: Courteous & Professional

Finally the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame opened. You can spend a whole afternoon there with no problem. It has different floors with many displays from early rock to present. You can listen to the history of Rock, see the costumes worn by your favorite artists etc. There is a phone installed by Yoko Ono and if it rings, you get to talk to her live. You can visit the gift shop and have a bite to eat as well. They have traveling displays to freshen things up as well.

This is a classy place, right downtown. The bar is great, the food is great, and the wait staff is the best. I love the tomato bisque, but there are so many other great choices that you're bound to be full without soup! Seafood is great, from a spectacular tower to the entrees. And the wine list is excellent. Not cheap, but worth the price!
