4. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Parents can reminisce about their favorite bands and artists and their children will love to make fun of the fashion trends!  Although there is not too many hands-on activities for children, the costumes previously worn by the musicians are a big hit.  Children can also learn about the history of music as well as fashion.  Any child under the age of five receives free admission.

5. Cleveland Metroparks Zoo

 The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo offers educational programs for children such as zoo history and overnight programs. Children can learn about conservation and endangered animals.  The zoo houses a variety of animals from lions to seals to exotic birds.  Parents can purchase a family membership to come back to the zoo.  The membership gives 10% off at the gift shops and allows you to bring 1 free guest.
