What can I do in Cleveland for my 5th wedding anniversary?|152206

I need cheap (FREE) ideas IN cleveland that do not involve walking a whole lot (my husband is disabled) and like I said, FREE... I have thought about a Malley_s tour, but that involves walking... what else can I do to make this 5th year special? I have NO money and need something that doesn_t take all day, as we can_t leave the house alone a long time (bad neighborhood). The big day is Saturday! HELP!

You could drive through the Metroparks -

They are beautiful. There_s an entrance to the Ohio _ Erie Canal Reservation near Grant Ave. and E. 49th. Turn onto Whittlesey Way off of E. 49th.

Maybe take a picnic lunch.

Another idea: go to
http://www.clevescene.com/
and put in the date. There are a ton of concerts listed for the Cleveland area. Depending on what kind of music you_re into, you might be able to find a free concert. I saw a free one listed at Beachland, 15711 Waterloo Rd., Cleveland. It_s a CD Release party for some Rock band that I haven_t heard of but hey it_s free. Rhythm City Groove is at Fat Fish Blue on Sat. It_s at 21 Prospect Ave. It doesn_t look like they have a cover charge but they might want people to buy (a) drink(s) to listen to the music.

I hope this helps.

Happy Anniversary! Our 8th Anniversary is in two weeks.

We were there on a weekend getaway about 3 weeks ago. Here_s what we did ... and we didn_t spend much money. We went to the West Side Market, it involves walking but is interesting.

We also ate at the Great Lakes Brewery, food was excellent but the beer was sub-par. You are looking at $30 for lunch. The we took a tour of the brewery, which was (FREE) and very informative.

The Indians were in town that weekend so we went to a game which was a lot of fun. Those ideas should get you started.

How about checking out a show at Playhouse Square in the Theater district? Might cost some money, but it can_t be much.

Or how about the Cleveland Orchestra? You can get tickets for about 40 bucks. That wouldn_t involve walking!

West Side Market is super cool, and could be very cheap... but would involve walking.

How about the Botanical Gardens? It only costs something like 7 bucks to get in there. Plus, there are a bunch of cool museums real close to the garden.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!

Go to the Grog Shop!

One idea might be a Lolly the Trolley tour. It takes you on a 20-mile journey around Cleveland, seeing all of the major sights, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Science Center, West Side Market, Playhouse Square, etc.

A 2-hour trolley ride for adults (age 18+) is $17 dollars. A 1-hour tour is $11. For seniors (age 60+) the tour is $16 for 2-hours, and $10 for 1-hour. The website I listed below will give you more information.

Another idea that is cheap and easy, is to take a picnic down to Huntington Beach or Edgewater Park. You can set and use their grills. I think you could do this with very little walking.

Another thing you could do on Saturday is check out the Cleveland Museum of Art. There is an exhibition, Arms _ Armor from Imperial Austria, which actually closes on June 1. They musuem has wheelchairs available for those with disabilities, and going through the exhibition would only take an hour, or two tops. Then you could go to Little Italy, to Mama Santa_s or Presti_s and get lunch.

One last thing would be a lunch cruise on the Nautica Queen. From 11am-1pm, it would cost $28 per person (with all the taxes). This includes the cruise, an unlimited buffet meal, coffee, iced tea and musical entertainment.

Personally, I think this one would be the most fun!

And lastly, congrats on your anniversary!! Even if you don_t do any of these things, I am sure you will find something fun and special to do!
