I have to take a trip to Cleveland in a couple of months for a conference and my wife is going with me.

What is there for her to do in the area during the day while I'm in meetings?

Anything? It will be in early May, so if it's a nice spring day, outside things are options. She likes to hike and be outside if possible.

Thanks.

Not outdoors, but the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame is there and the Great Lakes Science Center was pretty neat.

Maybe see the Indians?

Early May can be chilly if the wind is up amd coming off the lake.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park if you have access to a car, but it's pretty close.

Leave

rather be fishing said:

They don't call it the Mistake on the Lake for nothing.

Cleveland isn't that bad. I spent a year up there and had a blast. Out of the three metro centers in Ohio I prefer Cleveland.

Rock and Roll HoF is really cool.
Christmas Story House
Go watch the Tribe. There isn't a bad seat in the stadium (bring a light jacket).
Great Lakes Science Center.
Cuyahoga Valley National Forest is really, really cool. It's about 30 minutes south of Cleveland. There's lots of trails and a few waterfalls. Lots to see over in Rocky River, too (about 10 minutes west of Cleveland).
Go visit West Side Market. It's a huge indoor/outdoor market with food from all over.
Go see a play at Playhouse Square
Shaker Heights is an old part of Cleveland. Lots of big, tudor style homes over there.
