Plan Your Chagrin Falls Getaway: Cleveland's Cozy Neighborhood Full of Fun

Who says the city is where all the fun is? Chagrin Falls is here to prove that the east side is full of excitement. With its picture-perfect views and cozy small-town vibe, this neighborhood is full of unique boutiques, good eats and activities everyone will love.

So, whether you’re planning a girls’ night out, looking for your next family fun day or just cashing in some well-deserved me-time, Chagrin Falls is the place to be.

Shop ‘Til You Drop

Calling all shopaholics: Chagrin Falls has a ton of clothing stores just waiting to be explored. Listing every store would be overwhelming, but you can’t miss Winds of Change, where they have everything from comfy pajamas to gorgeous party dresses.

Wander deeper into Downtown Chagrin, and you’ll find Fireside Book Shop 一 the home of your next 5-star book review. If reading isn’t your thing, step back in time at Apple Jax Toys, packed with toys, games and collectibles straight out of the ‘80s and ‘90s.

Refuel the Fun

After all that retail therapy, you’ll need to replenish your energy with some good food. Stop by Heartwood Coffee for your daily dose of caffeine. If you’re looking for something more filling, grab a sandwich and fries at Parkside Grille. Want a meal with a view? 17 River Grille offers gourmet meals with stunning overlooks of the falls.

And don’t even think of skipping out on dessert. The Popcorn Shop, affectionately called “the pride of the Falls” by locals and Good Morning America alike, serves up locally made popcorn and ice cream in a rainbow of flavors. (For a literal rainbow, try their Crazy Corn.)

Craft, Connect and Conquer

In between all the shops is the neighborhood’s real hidden gem: a psychic. Visit Elaine’s Astrology and Psychic to unlock what the future has in store for you. From tarot readings to spiritual cleansings, each session is tailored to answer all your burning, metaphysical questions.

If you’re wary about astrology, unleash your inner artist instead. Check out a glass-blowing lesson at The Glass Asylum, where you can let your imagination soar. You can create anything from ducks to dazzling glassware. No matter what you make, you’ll leave with a souvenir to always remember your East Side adventure.

Feeling competitive? The Golf Dome is just a short drive outside of downtown Chagrin, boasting an 18-hole mini golf course. It’s the perfect way to tee up some wholesome, nostalgic fun. If it’s not the time of year for mini golf, don’t fret. Let Chagrin Valley Roller Rink whisk you away to the good old days, whether you’re reliving your youth or passing down the joys of the roller rink to your little ones. It doesn’t matter if you’re on blades or good ol’ 4-wheelers; the whole family will have a blast.
