Cleveland: We'll Rock You

Located on the shores of Lake Erie -- the nation's "North Coast" -- Cleveland is a great place to visit. The city knows how to have a good time. It is no wonder Places Rated Almanac listed Cleveland #2 on its list of top recreational destinations. The city boasts the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Rainforest at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, SeaWorld and Six Flags of Ohio, the Flats Entertainment District and cultural "must sees" like the world-renowned Cleveland Orchestra, Cleveland Museum of Art and Playhouse Square, the second largest performing arts center in the nation.
