Without a doubt, moms are awesome. They helped to shape who we are today — kissed our boo-boos, taught us right from wrong, bailed us out in our times of need.
While we think we should appreciate our moms every day, Mother's Day offers an entire day dedicated to showing Mom just how much she means to us.
Brunch Unconventionally
Brunch and Mother's Day go together like orange juice and champagne. But why spend your morning at some run-of-the-mill Mother's Day brunch that simply screams "meh," when you and Ma can embark on a brunch experience?
- The Music Box Supper Club: You and mom can feast on the brunch buffet while day-drinking a Bloody Mary and listening to timeless Dolly Parton classics like "Jolene."
- Hofbräuhaus Cleveland: At Hofbräuhaus Cleveland, you and your mom can indulge in a delicious brunch buffet while the little ones get creative, making a special gift for her. And hey, if you feel like channeling your inner artist with some Elmer's glue yourself — we won’t judge.
- Collision Bend Brewing Company: All moms at this brunch can treat themselves to made-to-order pancakes, waffles, omelets and freshly carved meats. Enjoy live jazz tunes while sipping on Bloody Marys and mimosas because, let’s be honest, motherhood deserves a toast (or three).
- Cleveland Botanical Gardens: Why gift just a few flowers when you and your mom can have brunch amongst thousands of gorgeous blooms during this University Circle brunch.
Discounted or Free for Ma
Not every mother is a brunch-and-bouquet kind of lady. Sometimes your mom just wants to spend time with you. Thanks to a number of Cleveland attractions, she'll get the opportunity to squeeze your cheeks all day at these spots with discounted or free admission on Mom's Day. (Or, check out any of these attractions, which are always free.)
- Cleveland Metroparks Zoo: Free for moms
- Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens: Free for moms
- Cleveland History Center: Discounted admission for moms
- Greater Cleveland Aquarium: Discounted admission for moms
The Gift of Fun
Remember all those times your mom chauffeured you around town? Now's your turn to take her out for the day. Whether Mom enjoys singing show tunes or "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," you've got options.
- Lady Caroline Cruise: Elevate your Mother’s Day celebration with a scenic cruise along the Cuyahoga River (scientifically, meals taste even better with a side of waterfront views).
- Playhouse Square: Take your mom out on the town to see "Sherri Shepherd Live!" or "The Outsiders."
- The Cleveland Orchestra: This world-class orchestra features "COYO Plays Dvořák" this Mother’s Day weekend.
- League Park: Start Mother’s Day with a home run at the Baseball Heritage Museum and “Have a Catch” at historic League Park. Moms and kids under 9 get in free.
