Things To Do
Tower City
Since most hotel options are downtown, feel free to explore the many attractions downtown!
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
A fantastic museum on the lake and nearby downtown. If you love music, rock and roll, or just want to visit one of the most popular museums in Cleveland, this would be a fun trip.
NASA Glenn Visitor Center
The Great Lakes Science Center was a childhood favorite with Alex. Many of the memories here with Janet Blackstone (Grandmommy), would inspire him to pursue his current engineering career.
Szalay's Farm & Market
This has been a Blackstone family favorite for years. If you're driving, we highly recommend you stop by and enjoy sweet corn, burgers, ice cream, a corn maze, and great fall vibes.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
A close drive from Cleveland, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a hidden pocket of nature near the city. Explore the waterfalls, rivers, and forests either by car, hiking, or biking. Pair this with a visit to Szalay's Farm, which is located in the park! Alex and Camille visited during October two years ago and had a great time hiking in the beautiful fall weather.
Little Italy
A highly walkable, historic Italian enclave known for authentic family-owned restaurants, bakeries, art galleries, and historic sites.
Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve
This park is within walking distance of the Blackstone residence. Further along the path to the west is Cleveland Metroparks E55 Marina Fishing Area. Both parks are great for picnics or enjoying lakefront views.
Cedar Point
About 1 hr 15 minutes from Downtown Cleveland is Cedar Point, known as the "Roller Coaster Capital of the World". The park is open Thursday through Sunday in October, and if you are in town for a longer weekend this could be a fun day trip.
