A very cool museum that we were delighted with, good staff, clean premises, there is a dressing room where you can leave your outerwear. Many cool cars, and the main thing is a playroom for children where you can play and read interesting books....Read More

Great fun riding the carousel. The museum is a wealth of Cleveland information. The Crawford museum also has so many cars, trucks, planes, boats, motorcycles to look over. The Hays house very interesting.

History buffs for Cleveland's mansion-era including Hay-McKinney mansion (attached to the museum). Also includes the Crawford car collection and the historical restored Euclid Beach Carousel. They should have a separate entrance if you just want to ride the carousel, though.

One of the best places to go in Cleveland with young kids. Very fun play area, tons of cars, and a CAROUSEL! We parked at the Natural History Museum and just crossed the street to go in. So fun!

A little gem in Cleveland that displays certain aspects of history. It is the new home of the Euclid Beach carousel, but more interesting to me is the large collection of classic cars including several stainless steel varieties!!
