Things To Do
Edgewater Park
One of our favorite spots in Cleveland! Enjoy the views of our Great Lake. There is also an actual small beach if you want a beach day! (Note: this is the location of our post-wedding brunch, if you can't make it beforehand!)
Rocky River Reservation
The Rocky River Reservation has an extensive network of hiking trails. It's one of the great Metroparks in Cleveland! If you want to get some outdoor time in, we recommend it. (Note: this is the location of our rehearsal dinner, so make sure you take some extra time to explore the park while you're there!)
The Cleveland Museum of Art
It's a great art museum and it's free! (Aside from special exhibits.)
Cleveland Botanical Garden
Not free, but a nice botanical gardens. It's right across a small park from the art museum. The two greenhouses and the outdoor gardens (weather permitting) as especially nice.
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo
The zoo! Keep a lookout online for their "Asian Lantern Festival" which happens around this time of year.
West Side Market
An indoor-outdoor market with prepared foods, produce, cheese, treats, and more in a gorgeous historic building. Worth a trip! It's right by lots of great restaurants, coffee shops, and other stores.
Progressive Field
We don't get to too many baseball games, but it's always a good time when we do. The Guardians are playing a weekend series vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates, so if you'll be sticking around on Sunday the 1st, consider attending the 2:40pm game!
