Shuffleboard

What’s cooler than a cold drink in your hand, a shuffleboard in front of you and a little friendly competition? Forest City Shuffleboard brings this classic game back in style. It's fun. It's chill. And it’s an easy way to prove you’ve got the best aim in Cleveland. So, grab a group, slide some pucks and let the good times roll.

Surfboard

Who says you need to be on the coast to ride a wave? Cleveland’s got you covered with the Lake Erie Surf Club, where you can grab a surfboard and show Lake Erie who’s boss. So maybe the water isn’t exactly the warmest thing you’ll dip your toes into. No problem. This is Cleveland, dude. If there’s a wave, we ride it. Forget what you thought you knew about surfing – it’s time to catch the Cleveland wave.

Board Game

Who said game night can’t be elevated? Tabletop Board Game Cafe isn’t just your average night of Monopoly, it’s a haven for game lovers. From strategy games to pure chaos, they’ve got a board for everyone. Grab a coffee – or a cold beer – and dive into a game you’ve probably never played but won’t be able to put away.

Snowboard

Alright, winter's here, and if you think you're going to let it cramp your style, you’ve got another thing coming. Head to Boston Mills Brandywine Resort and shred some serious powder. Whether you’re a snowboarding newbie or a seasoned pro, these slopes have what you need. So, slap on that helmet, grab your board and show winter who's boss.

Scoreboard

What’s better than watching the hometown team light up the scoreboard? Nothing, that’s what. The Cavs bring the heat on the court, and that scoreboard is about to get a workout. Whether you’re there for the buzzer-beaters or just for the atmosphere (who are we kidding, it’s definitely the atmosphere), you’ll feel every point, every slam dunk and every win down to your core. That's CLE hoops, baby.

Keyboard

Have you ever wanted to tickle the ivories like Ray Charles, Elton John or Stevie Wonder? Well, here’s your shot. At The Garage inside the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, you’re not just standing there looking at memorabilia – you’re part of the music. Jump behind the keys, get your hands on a guitar or even test out a drum set. Your rock star moment is waiting, so get ready to channel your inner legend.

Cutting Board

The kitchen is your canvas at Stir Studio Kitchen, where you’ll use a cutting board like Picasso used a paintbrush. It’s not just about cooking – it’s about creating something delicious. So, chop, dice and sauté your way through some seriously tasty dishes, all while learning from the pros. Whether you're a total rookie or a self-proclaimed chef, you’ll leave with knife skills (and a full stomach).

Charcuterie Board

Let's talk about food. More specifically, the charcuterie board at Astoria Cafe & Market in Detroit Shoreway. Cheese, meats, fruits, nuts - you name it. It’s the perfect sharable platter to dive into with your squad. It’s like a fancy snack session with a side of sophistication. Grab a glass of wine (or two) and indulge in this spread that’s all about the good life, then browse the market on your way out to take home all the goods to make your own board at home.

Room and Board

Do you need a vacation? I mean, we’re not saying you look like you need a vacation, but we can tell. Well, if you do, the Hilton is the perfect place for room and board in The Land. After a day of Cleveland adventure, you’ll want a comfy place to crash, and the Hilton delivers. Relax, recharge and get ready for round two (or three, or four). No FOMO here – just a cozy bed and a luxurious shower to prep for your next CLE escapade.

Dartboard

Grab your friends, head to Punch Bowl Social, and let loose on a dartboard. Whether you're a pro or a newbie, there’s something satisfying about throwing darts after a couple of drinks. Plus, it's the perfect way to show off your skills and maybe make a friendly little wager. Punch Bowl Social is waiting, and so is the bullseye.
