Cleveland Visit - If you're into music as myself the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a must visit. 6 floors of anything music. Not sure if they do different themes or not, but the one floor had everything 1984, which was right up my alley beings I grew up in the 80's
Definitely check this place out.
As a plus you are right at Lake Erie and that was very cool.

Pretty cool experience for the price - My dad was always into musics, so I felt I had to go. It was a cool experience for the price. We didn't spend too much time, but it was still a good hour or so to walk through and see all the items and stuff.

Cleveland Rocks! - I’ve lived in Cleveland my entire life and I travel pretty extensively. When I travel and I tell folks I’m from Cleveland, they always—always—ask about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. And I always have to respond by saying that I’ve actually never been there. Well, I’ve finally remedied that by spending an entire afternoon exploring the Rock Hall—it was well worth the 20+ year wait—it rocked.
We took a group, as we had family and friends visiting from northern Michigan. We had kids ranging from ages 10-15, plus adults from 40-75 and what was particularly cool is that there was something for everyone—not a single one of us was bored or uninterested. The older folks in the group loved the first floor, with the exhibits on the history of rock & roll, especially on the earlier years—that was the music they grew up listening too. I think my dad could have spent hours just wandering through that part of the museum alone. I particularly enjoyed the special exhibit on the anniversary of hip hop, as I came of age in the 80s and 90s when hip hop was really breaking through.
We all loved the second-floor garage band where we could jam away like we were rockstars—I think each of us took turns on the drums, the guitars and the keyboards—we were very lucky it wasn’t a crowded day at the museum because we really had a chance to play around and enjoy jamming with each other. Even my dad sat on the couch and played acoustic guitar for probably 20-30 minutes while people watched & listened. Similarly, the kids enjoyed the fourth-floor beat labs, as well, where they could create custom beats.
I particularly enjoyed the special exhibit on the sixth floor on Jon Bonjovi—he’s a favorite of mine and it was Bonjovi heaven up there. I’m glad I got a chance to visit while that exhibit was on display.
We enjoyed the actual hall of fame and finding our favorites—we thought it was cool that you could listen and watch your favorites acceptance speeches. We liked getting to cast our votes for the next class. I think every single one of us would agree that our favorite part of the day was the theater with the video mashup of induction ceremony performances. I could have watched that video on a loop over and over again—I think we all could have. There were just some absolute powerhouse performances. We were all disappointed when it ended.
Overall, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is pretty darn near close to absolute rock & roll perfection. It is incredibly well done—a beautiful blend of history and homage with interactive fun for all ages. It makes me so proud that it’s here in my hometown…Cleveland really does rock!

For those who rock - The Rock & Roll Hall is a must-visit attraction for all music lovers. There are several levels, but the bottom floor has the bulk of exhibits, including galleries about hip-hop and the roots of rock and roll, including country, blues, and other genres.
There are tons of awesome artifacts from all the legendary rock bands and performers. One of my favorites was the piano that John Lennon and Paul McCartney used to write many of Beatles' hit songs in the 1960s.
The other levels have interactive exhibits, the actual Hall of Fame, and more artifacts. The Hall's architecture, designed by I.M. Pei, is also really interesting in itself. Parking was easy in the Great Lakes Science Center garage down the street.

The best experience of Christmas break - Just loved being able to share this with our music loving daughter for the first time over Christmas break. Being as how she lived in Nashville and worked in tourism she was very familiar with many of the pioneers of rock and roll history. It was fun spending the time and learning more of the history as well as reliving some great moments from our teenage era. A great museum!!

Soul Train Memory Lane!!! The Bronx comes to Cleveland!! - The opportunity to revisit some of my favorite musicians from the past altogether in one space was AMAZING! Reading the back stories for some of the exhibits was transformative! But it was the SOUL TRAIN footage of Smokey Robinson and Aretha Franklin performing an impromptu duet song together that captured my entire experience!!! Thanks for letting me reminisce!

Good Music Museum - If you are a fan of music, this is definitely a place to visit while in Cleveland. It has a ton of history on rock and roll but also other kinds of music as well. The museum has 6 floors of exhibits to go through. They had a Bon Jovi display on the sixth floor dedicated entirely to the group. It was amazing to see the vast collection of this museum. It seems like all the great artists have something on display here. The gift shop is worth a visit as well for any souvenirs. I really enjoyed this museum and I would recommend it to anyone. I would plan a few hours to see everything.
