Headed to Cleveland in a couple of weeks with kids ages 4, 7, 9. any "must do: activities to do with kids while we are there? also will it be difficult to get Indians tickets same week/ day of game?? or should we buy ahead? thanks!

Thanks to their recent performance, ample walk-up seating should be available for most Indians games, except for opening day.

How long will you be in Cleveland? Friday night games often have a fireworks show afterwards, and kids can run the bases after the games on some Sundays. On the lakefront there is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with a nice Science Museum next door, and a permanently docked ore carrier and WWII submarine that offer tours. Terminal Tower downtown has an observation deck near the top. The Natural History museum is to the east of the downtown area. The I-X Center near Cleveland Hopkins airport will have an indoor amusement park operating through April 14. The Happy Dog, an all-hot-dog restaurant, is at Detroit Ave and W. 58th St.

Perfect! thank you so much! It all sounds great.. I think we will be there mid week, when they are playing the Red Sox, so lets hope they both have better seasons! My oldest will love the submarine. Thanks for your time!

You're welcome!
Forgot: There's a zoo and a new aquarium which may be of interest. (If you're from Boston, the latter may not impress.)

I've stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn and if I remember it's almost across the street from where the Indian's play. I remember looking out my window and seeing fireworks. The Science Center is nice. It's a fun little city...enjoy!
