CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -For the next couple of weeks your kids will be home and running out of things to do.
The following are ideas to keep them occupied and engaged in more than just their phones.
Because of a gift from KeyBank, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame continues to be free for Cleveland residents.
With an ID that has a Cleveland address, a parent can bring up to five children in the Rock Hall for free.
Sorry suburbanites, full price for you.
Not all kids are into art but this museum has something for everyone from Monet, to medieval knights in armor, to a mummy’s sarcophagus.
On top of all of that, the Cleveland Museum of Art is always free.
Yes, it’s winter but inside the rain forest is always warm at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.
The zoo and rain forest are free every Monday for residents of Cuyahoga County and Hinckley Township with ID.
Think warm and floral with seasonal displays. The City of Cleveland runs this beautiful greenhouse year round with one of the biggest cactus in Northeast Ohio.
Again, always free.
