Easily the best museum to visit while visiting Cleveland. The Western Reserve Historical Society (WRHS) museum houses the famous Crawford Auto and Aviation Collection and the Cleveland History Center. There is also a small Library in case you want to look up historical documents of from the Western Reserve era. With your museum entrance ticket, you get access to all the exhibits along with two ride tickets for the Euclid Beach Carousel that will be sure to be a hit with the young ones (or those that are young at heart). Although there are other museums in the museum area, the WRHS is uniquely Cleveland, and cant be found anywhere else in the world. Thus, the highest recommendation from us.
What an unknown gem of a museum! The fact it is made from two historic houses and has an indoor carousel sets it apart from any other museums across the country. They have interesting features for children up to older adults. The working carousel is handicap accessible and the day we were there a group of people boarded on their wheelchairs to enjoy multiple rides. It warmed our hearts. We will bring our tour groups back for a visit.
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!!
Love going there!
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!
Wonderful, modern museum with lots of great history on the city of Cleveland, old cars and the old Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel that you can ride twice with a paid admission. The mansion tour is nicely done and full of interesting artifacts from different time periods.
So fun and had really cool stuff to see but The one lady at the gift-shop was really rude and complaining about how people were taking wedding pictures on the carousel!!
History buffs for Clevelands 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.
Neat little museum, but a bit overpriced. Keep an eye out for days when they offer free admission. Usually associated with festivals happening at Wade Oval.
I have never been to this museum. ...and sadly I never will. I was just informed of the way they handled a breast feeding mother. They explained that this is illegal and stealing the innocence from childern. Wow...weather its God or mother nature this is the way humans and all mammals are programmed to feed our childeren. Its the most precious thing a mother can share. Its unfortunate that people and places like this are now allowed to take our rights and ruin our society. I know there will be plenty of responses to this review met with ignorance. ..just a shame where this great nation is right now...makes me sad
Love it. Im a history buff!!! I love the old Cleveland, Ohio and the Suburbs archives...
Great staff and clean environment. I will be back.
Extremely professional staff, good visit overall
Great place to go to on the weekend
