Limited to just 40 guests, this is an intimate experience of wonder. While this is not a kids show and the magic is geared towards adults, the performance is entirely “clean” and appropriate for audience members age 13 years and older.

Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland: Education and Learning Center
Ever wonder how money works or what the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland does as part of the central bank of the US? Visit our Education and Learning Center featuring more than 25 fun, hands-on exhibits that answer these questions and more! We have interactive games, visual exhibits, creative stations, and illuminating films that explain everything about money you can think of, from how we use it, to why it looks the way it looks.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Headquartered in a boldly designed building on Lake Erie's shore, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a 150,000-square-foot museum featuring ever-changing exhibits documenting the history of rock and roll, from Elvis to our days. You’ll see hundreds of original artifacts, from Jimi Hendrix outfits to The Beatles’ handwritten lyrics. Experience the excitement of a Rock Hall induction night at the Power of Rock Experience or have your very own jam session at the Garage. You can also watch a concert while you're here, so check out the Rock Hall’s schedule and plan ahead. – Tripadvisor

What Lifts You Mural
You can find one of the town’s most famous photo ops in The Gulch neighborhood—a pair of intricate white lace wings against a black wall. There's usually a line, so go early in the morning or late in the day for fewer crowds. Try to find the easter eggs that the artist put into the mural: a cowboy hat, guitars, and barbecues to represent Nashville. Explore other street art in Nashville on a mural art tour—you'll see lots of other great sights, with plenty of time for photo ops.
