Experience Passports

If you’re after a day steeped in history and culture, Cleveland delivers—and then some. From the world-renowned Cleveland Museum of Art to prehistoric marvels at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History to the city’s rich timeline at the Cleveland History Center, the big names speak for themselves.

But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find a treasure trove of lesser-known museums and cultural sites that tell Cleveland’s story on a more intimate, local level. These hidden gems offer fresh perspectives and focus on niche topics that beautifully complement a day of museum-hopping—or serve as the perfect entry point to explore the city’s diverse and historic neighborhoods.

In The Land, the soundtrack never stops—and now, you can earn points for Cleveland-branded prizes while taking it all in.

From world-class venues to hole-in-the-wall stages, every show tells a piece of Cleveland’s rich musical story. Check out a ska band, vibe with a jazz trio, or belt along with a high-energy cover band—whatever your groove, there’s a stage for it here. But the music doesn’t wait for showtime. As you walk downtown, you’ll hear it in the streets—literally. Cleveland’s Rock Boxes play snippets of legendary songs near the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, setting the tone as you explore the city. Murals sing with visual rhythm, and local harmonies spill from open-air stages and sidewalks all across The Land. Before the night begins, stop by one of our many indie record stores and flip through crates packed with deep cuts and new favorites.

So, grab your headphones, lace up your concert sneakers, and start checking in—Cleveland’s music scene is calling, and your passport is your all-access pass.

Clevelanders have it good—seriously good—when it comes to outdoor adventure. With access to the award-winning Cleveland Metroparks, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and a growing network of scenic trails, it’s easy to get outside and get moving.

Whether you’re biking, hiking, running, or just taking it all in, there’s no shortage of ways to experience the natural beauty of The Land. In fact, the past decade has brought a boom in trail development, making it easier than ever to connect with nature—right here in our own backyard.

So, lace up, gear up, and start checking in. Your Cleveland Outdoor Explorer Passport is your guide to fresh air, new paths, and unforgettable views.
