I love watching the sunset at Edgewater Park. I like to pack my Kindle, fresh fruit, a chair, and a beach towel.
Edgewater Park
Locals call the parks The Emerald Necklace. The Rocky River Reservation is a perfect place for a picnic, walking, and kayaking.
I like to pack a few snacks, towels, and chairs although there are plenty of tables throughout the park.
Rocky River Reservation
📍Free admission. World-class exhibits. Timeless masterpieces. From ancient artifacts to modern installations, every corner pulls you in. The Museum has a cafe and gift shop. You can also purchase tickets to additional exhibits.
The Cleveland Museum of Art
Major cozy vibes + a must for Christmas movie lovers.
House from A Christmas Story
The Arcade is great for pictures and close to many restaurants. It is so beautiful many locals get married in this very building.

10/10 recommend if you grew up on TRL, burned LimeWire tracks, or ever screamed the bridge of a Paramore song in your room.
