By Car
Who’s down for a road trip? Cleveland is located within 500 miles of 50% of the United States population and is ideally situated at the intersection off of three major interstate highways, namely I-90, I-77 and I-71 and along the Ohio Turnpike I-80. Easy routes and excellent positioning provide shorter drive times than other Midwest destinations.
Amtrak
Trains arrive and depart from Amtrak’s Downtown station at North Coast Harbor. The Lake Shore Limited and Capitol Limited routes connect attendees to Cleveland from other major cities, including Chicago, Pittsburgh, Washington D.C. and New York City. Go ahead and take the midnight train to Cleveland.
