Wow!!!! I won a golden ticket. I went to the Golden ticket event and had the most amazing time! We…read moregot to see a working ion thruster - who can say that beside NASA engineers? We got to meet Gregory Box Johnson - a pilot who went to the Space station twice! We also seen the zero gravity facility where NASA can make objects become weightless for slightly over 5 seconds as it drops below ground over 430 feet. We were taken into the control room of where rocket engines are tested - inside joke (where pigs fly!)! The employees of mass were not only knowledgeable, but friendly and willing to answer all questions asked. I am so excited to take my girls back for open house tours over the next few years! I love that one of their three directors is from Puerto Rico. With the right support and hard work you can be anything you want to be!

Yelp Day at SLOPE…read more The facility is now only open to guided tours... they post on their web site well in advance and you can call to be a part of a larger group if you don't catch the Yelp train to NASA. We were not the first tour of the day...l so we got the bum's rush at times... they do have a gift shop still open... BUT... the larger exhibit / museum space is closed... it has been moved to the Great Lakes Science Center. Soooo... if you are looking to let your kids crawl and explore head to the Science Center... if you are looking to get a great geek's view of one of the departments and talk to staff take the guided tour as early in the day as you can.

This is charming. It's a cute little nature center in the Rocky River Reservation with some play…read moreareas, educational areas, restrooms, etc. This place is BUSY, so even the fairly generous parking area can fill up quickly. Trails from the Nature Center lead into several different directions, and you can either attempt the stairs that ascend to the moon, or avoid them if 9 flights of stairs aren't your idea of a fun hike. They also host occasional activities and plant sales.

Brought my 5 and 1.5 year olds to play on the very poorly marked "playground." It took us longer to…read morefind it than it did for my kids to play on it. We were disappointed to find that the "playground" only consisted of a wood balance beam, different size stepping logs, and a climbing wall. There was nothing appropriate for my youngest, and my oldest only played for 5 minutes before telling me, "Mommy, this isn't fun. Can we go?" Next, we went inside to check out the Nature Center, and I was pleasantly surprised. The kids had a great time crawling through the giant tree, looking at taxidermy, reading books, playing games, and seeing live animals like turtles and snakes. We spent a half hour playing. I don't think it's worth a 45 minute drive, but if you're in the area or driving through, it's a great place to keep your little ones busy for an hour or so. There are also beauthiking trails that we didn't have time to explore.

Taste T's is one of the many great small, local vendors that can be found at the Frostville…read moreFarmer's Market on Saturday mornings in the Cuyahoga Valley Metroparks in North Olmsted. Taste T's sells homemade pies and galettes and now has hand pies in many fruit flavors. We had the peach galette and we loved it! There are many more vendors to explore at the Frostville Farmer's Market!

The Farmers Market was great last Saturday, they are back to a full farmers market with many stands…read moreopen now including a couple of people selling veggie plants, an alpaca person, coffee, kettle popcorn, granola, bakery, honey products, Elm Farm meat and maple syrup, and more. There was also a band playing hits from the 60's and 70's that was very good. Then there is always Trash and Treasure sale that adds new items every week. Everything stand is spaced from the other for social distancing. Open till 1:00pm every Saturday.

What a JOKE. Frontier tonight delayed our flight Cleveland to Phoenix from 9:56pm to 11:00pm. I…read morearrived at the airport at 9:55, go to the Checkpoint and they were closing up. Refused to let myself and 4 other passengers get through tells us to rebook our flight. How convenient same day Frontiers website is malfunctioning and shut down. We run into the pilot of OUR FLIGHT 10 minutes after. We walks to check point with us and they would only let him go through. Pilot tried to have TSA get us through. Let's note there was 4 TSA Agents doing NOTHING. Basically told us too bad. Your job is to look out for the passengers. YOU FAILED

CLE centralized their TSA Pre Check line causing a line as long as the line for non-pre check…read morepassengers. They coupled the line with 'Clear' (that has a much shorter line) to make passengers desire a 'Clear' membership. Hmmm. Is 'Clear' paying CLE to promote their business? Seems like it to me. Hate long lines when I arrive early! This setup is inefficient and they know it since the lack of signage shows their shame at promoting the more expensive'Clear'.

I am addicted to this festival! So much fun to spend a few days at!…read more First of all, you must go with other people to really enjoy it....invite your family, friends, coworkers. Second, get crazy - wear some lederhosen or a drindl. Buy a hat or a flower headband. Buy a fun Oktoberfest tshirt to wear. Get in the spirit! Third, if you love beer, try it all! There's also wine and spirits around the festival for purchase, but beer is really what everyone drinks. Not only are there Oktoberfest beers, such as Paulaner and Hacker Pschorr, but many local craft beers. Fourth, go early and have a Bahama Mama from Schmidt's in Columbus for lunch. If you're still hungry, have a giant cream puff or strudel for dessert. Fifth, watch the Weiner races, enjoy some traditional dancers, walk through the vendors area of crafts and German imports, watch a sand sculpture being made right in front of your eyes, get a picture taken with Krampus and crew, watch the Strongman competition. Sixth, go to the Glockenspiel as many times as you can and dance & sing your heart out! Seventh, grab some Authentic German grub for dinner and park yourself in a bier tent to watch some great entertainment. I highly suggest a plate from Das Schnitzel Haus, some pierogi's from the Pierogi Lady, sauerkraut balls from Hey Hey or a pretzel-wrapped bratwurst. Eighth, make sure you're still drinking beer and take some sips of water in between - you'll appreciate that in the morning. Ninth, grab a partner and get on the dance floor for the chicken dance and some polka! It doesn't matter if you don't know how to polka, you'll pick it quickly or someone will teach you. The Chardon Polka Band, Alex Meixner and Klabetheads are all my favorites! Tenth, take lots of pictures to memorialize this great event! And lastly, get an Uber or have a designated driver to take you home!
