Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

I was absolutely blown away by how much I enjoyed this museum. This has been on my bucket list for many years and it didn’t disappoint. I could have spent days in this museum: the history, the videos, the outfits & and instruments, and an amazing gift shop. I highly recommend!

This was absolutely worth the long drive across 3 states. I could spend 2 days here just soaking in all of the rich history. What I found most impactful is learning about early music history and the extensive contribution of African Americans. This is well arranged and laid out. The pace was up to my group and the Elvis portion was a must. If you love music, history, or culture then this is a place for you. Great for families although small children may not be as enthusiastic.

I really enjoyed my time here. It was much bigger than I expected. There are 6 floors. There is a gift shop, a place to eat and if you are able to catch a show I highly recommend you do it's great it's included in the ticket price and not that long it's a great experience. Make sure to give yourself time to arrive early to find parking in case you need to walk, especially if you booked for a time.

The layout was pretty confusing at first. There was one point where we got stuck and had to get on an elevator (maybe that was what you were supposed to do?) it was also relatively crowded with people, but that’s what you expect because it’s not like it’s an unpopular place. The Hall of Fame itself was awesome! The first floor consisted of rappers, which was sort of confusing, but that was just the front. The rest had Rhythm and Blues, which people were complaining about (which doesn’t make sense because not everything’s going to have heavy metal and punk in it. R and B is apart of the evolution of that stuff. Just gotta wait for other floors to see it) The Taylor Swift stuff I’m sure was just to attract other people, but they liked it so it was okay just as long as people enjoyed it! The place where you can play interments was great. I’m not too good at bass so I can’t say much about the quality of the interments but it was holdable so that’s something. Very nice place consisting of several genres, including a gift shop! (Which had a Hole shirt that I wanted really badly but it was 50.00) I’d recommend this place to anybody that has a passion for that kind of stuff. Anybody that likes any kind of music would have a great time here, and that’s what makes it so amazing! (I got permission from my mom to write this) -Nora ^_^

Really cool place to go see. You can walk around and see music instruments, clothes, and memorabilia from different generations of musicians. They had an instrument room where you can try out different instruments and beat box studio too. Definitely recommend going to see it if you’re in the area. They also have a very large gift shop where you can pick up some cool stuff.

Best Gift Shop and the exhibits brought back so many wonderful memories. Music of all types from Gospel, to beginning of Rock, to Great Rock Bands and a cool Soul Train video in a theater with some of the wonderful talent that performed their. Hendrix, Joplin, Beatles, Stones, LED ZEP, Eagles, and so much more

We enjoyed what we saw. Very crowded. We went on a Saturday morning and were among the first in, but it was crazy busy. We completely missed the women and music exhibit on the lower floor!! We figured we would get back to it later but it was still so crowded, we gave up. The 6th floor was closed, so we didn't see anything up there, either. Next time, we will go back during the week and call ahead to make sure that all floors are open to the public. Staff was very friendly and there is alot to see.

Very cool place. We’re not usually the museum type people but we enjoyed the rock and roll hall of fame because they have an interactive floor where you could actually learn to play all kinds of instruments like the acoustic guitar, electric/ base , piano and even drums… they have easy lessons to follow with various songs to choose from.

Had a great time and could spend another 3 days here looking at all the cool stuff! Wow

What an amazing day at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! Well worth it, for sure. My wife and I spent over 5 hours at the HOF. We really wanted to take our time and I'm so glad we did. There is so much musical history here, and it triggered a ton of nostalgic memories for me. There are so many multimedia exhibits to enjoy! This was definitely a well enjoyed multi-sensory experience. If you are planning to visit the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I would recommend you NOT do too much research before you go. I had no idea what to expect before I went and I'm really glad I did it that way. Definitely buy your ticket in advance if you can. We had a 10:30 a.m. entry time and we walked in at 10:10, no problem. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The special exhibits change frequently, but all of the exhibits are really well done. Make sure you visit all 6 floors, and don't miss the "Power of Rock" movie on the 4th Floor. Oh, and save 30 minutes to thoroughly enjoy the Gift Shop!

We took a road trip and this was one of our bucket list stops. Thrilled that it exceeded our expectations! We spent 5 + hours exploring all the levels, watching the short films and really reading the notes next to every display. This place is well done for the true rock and roll fans. I'm not going to share all the great things we saw and heard so as not to ruin your experience, but one thing that disappointed us was the Fleetwood Mac exhibit was being dismantled to move so we didn't get to see it nor the Tom Petty exhibit. It's a bummer but that's how it goes. The gift shop is nice and there's a wide variety of shirts, hats, mugs, clothes, books, and other souvenirs. This was a great experience and we are SO glad we came!

Oh, how this place reminds me so much of my childhood and my parent's childhood to the music we loved jammin' to. It's crazy to see the history into the revolution of music from the 80s to present day: sucha beautiful form of self expression through outfit designs, lyrics and music (much of which influenced our perception of the world today). If I brought my car, I probably would have brought home some new records! Def worth visiting if you're in the area.

Very busy in a week day morning. Security was outside due to construction. I was able to get a street spot for a few hours, but otherwise I'm not sure how parking currently is working. Once inside everything seemed fine. There is a new SNL/Saturday Night Live exhibit that was cool to see.

This review pertains to just one visit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I've been to the Rock Hall several times and overall, it gets four stars. On this visit, I was disappointed with the Rock Hall's Springsteen Fan Weekend. Outside of the normal Springsteen artifacts, there wasn't much else dedicated to The Boss. They were supposed to have a Springsteen playlist on loop, and they didn't even do that. The Rock Hall has a lot of music memorabilia from artists big and small. It's a fun way to spend an afternoon, especially if you love music. As I said, overall, the Rock Hall gets four stars for its large collection of music memorabilia, but this visit came up short. I was there for Springsteen Fan Weekend but could hardly tell they were doing anything at all to promote The Boss.

I was displeased with the sticker dispenser. It's the one where you put in your email address, then name your band, then choose your design, then modify, etc. It's time consuming. Then we have to wait 15 min. Why? Because the machine screen said to be patient, it takes time. Ok, N.P. AFTER WAITING A FULL 15 minutes, an employee told the large crowd that the machine had been broken for awhile, in fact, all week. What??? Why make us wait? Why can't you put a sign up advising us peeps so we don't have to stand & wait. This was a tremendous waste of my time and I was very unhappy. I suspect they didn't put up a sign because they wanted to capture your email address, which they did. Everyone there was displeased. Everyone. I had limited time there on my organized tour, and in essence had it taken away from me. It's literally many days later & I'm still disappointed. I wrote an email to them...crickets, no reply.

The venue was cool, but since we were in a time crunch tour, the employees stole our time. I was getting the decals made from the decal Machine, and we had a large group gathering at round waiting for them. Two young employees were there screwing around and told us we would have to wait. It was a Sat & they said they are trying to reach the person who was off who knew the machine. Then after 15 minutes, a female employee came up and announced that the machines have been broken all week and aren't working. Well, duh... can't you put up a sign to that effect? We did enjoy the R n R show.

So freaking cool! I got to go to an evening event here so it wasn't packed and plenty of space to see and do everything. There's so much to see and I learned some really cool fact! Such a beautiful facility with something for everyone. Highly recommend!

Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame... more like Rock 'n Roll Hall of 'Who Even Decides This Stuff'.... You walk in thinking you'd get a tribute to legends, icons, the very heartbeat of music history, but instead, you get a shrine to industry politics and baffling omissions. There are more snubbed artists/bands than actual inductees worthy of applauding. I mean, at this rate, even my shower vocal album would qualify for my hall of fame worthiness. What a joke. I mean, may as well call it the Hall of Shame.

This is a museum of eclectic music memorabilia. If you enjoyed the Hard Rock Cafe from the late 90s, then you might enjoy this place as well. The layout of the museum is really well done, with access to all floors by way of escalators or elevators. You begin on the lowest level, one floor below where you enter. The ground floor has most of the exhibits and the "cool things" to see that are advertised- Michael Jackson's "Thriller" jacket and some clothes worn by the Mamas and the Papas from the 60/70s. The main exhibit is also located here. I saw the SNL 50's years exhibit. It was well done and my favorite part of the museum. On the 3rd floor, you can vote on the next RR HOF inductee as well as read about the process of how one becomes an inductee here. The 4th floor has Pink Floyd's Wall. The gift shop-on the first floor where you enter- is massive. There are ample restrooms, benches, and water fountains throughout the museum. The cafe offers beer, wine, spirits, and n/a drinks as well as some cafe style food like pizza. The museum stays open until 9pm On Thursdays throughout the summer. Otherwise, they close at 5pm. I can say I've been there and seen it!

Incredible place and definitely a bit overwhelming. We spent five hours there and could have stayed longer. If you like music from the 50s to the 09s, this place is amazing. The one thing I was surprised about is you listen to music either out loud or in wired handsets at particular points. They really need to update this like other museums to wireless individual headsets. Makes for a more pleasant visit. Pro tip: bring ear plugs! Great visit!!

This was my second visit to the Hall of Fame, the first being more than a decade ago. The place is a triumph! Not only does it display evocative memorabilia from the history of Rock Music and its antecedents, the frequent use of audio and video throughout, including two fantastic auditoriums set aside for special exhibits, bring that history alive. The gift shop has lots of terrific items, but is a bit pricey. I love the Rock and Roll Hall!

Really happy I checked out this museum while in Cleveland! They sure do advertise the heck out of it at the airport! Anyway, certain nights the museum is open late, which is great. 100% took advantage of that. It's 6 floors. You'll spend the most time on the bottom floor, which is really cool and very extensive. Everything from Elvis, to the Beatles to this 1984 dedicated room. If you're into music, you definitely need to make a stop here. There's a feeling of nostalgia when you're here. All the music and memorabilia brings you back to that time period (for me anyway). You can spend anywhere from 40 minutes to over two hours here. It really depends if you like to read the information posted and use the QR codes they post for more information. Even if you're not a museum person, you'll enjoy it. They play music throughout the entire museum and it's really cool to step back in time with some of the exhibits they have!

Brought my 11 years old here with my hubby for a short family weekend before we leave to Toronto, Canada and it was such a great time! We spent easily 4 hours inside. From all the fun display of all the Rock and Roll histories, to playing a music instrument, singing with live musician crews, videos of musical hall of famers, free pin ball machines and stickers you can create all you want, we had an absolute best time and my son thought got to learn a but about Rock and Roll! What's not to love?

Came here after Ozzy passed away It was a must see experience with memorabilia from all your favorite bands. The coolest part was the light show they had on the stage in the 3rd floor. The atmosphere was awesome with lots of fans and musicians bonding over works of art!

Bucket-list Yelp location visited...CHECK! One of the things I love about Yelp is the ability to virtually experience the locations visited by my friends, and then bookmark a few of these locations for my own visits in the future. On my Yelp account I have one bookmark folder titled "bucket list," and this folder includes several uniquely special places I plan to visit in the near future. One of these locations was here at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, in Cleveland, Ohio. Admittedly, I have been wanting to visit this location for over two decades, and I'm so happy I was finally able to come here for my first time during the end of last summer. Since I was visiting the Cleveland area, I took advantage of this trip by budgeting one entire day to visit this museum. Anyone who knows me knows that I love museums and historical locations, and when visiting any of these locations I need to fully experience every detail. For this reason, I knew I would need one entire day to experience the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I enjoyed every minute while I was here too! The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is located in the heart of Cleveland, and it currently has six floors containing several items of interest from numerous musicians. Displays for these artists include several items, with some including their clothing used on stage and musical items used while they performed. Some displays also include their hand-written lyrics of their hit songs and other personal items. All this makes the museum visitor feel a closer connection into the personal and professional lives of the musicians they have listened to for years. For me personally, I greatly enjoyed spending a little time at each of the displays since I have a wide range of musical interests and I have experienced well over one hundred concerts so far. Along with this review I have attached ten of my photos and five of my videos I took during my visit, which will give you a small taste of what you can experience here. I have also posted even more photos and videos outside of this review for this location. I'm sure all of these will just fuel your desire to come here as well. Be sure to add this location to YOUR bucket list!

Came here for a conference. We had wrist bands for the evening part of the event. I got yelled at by the hired security for the event, the R&R HOF staff behind the bar didn't want to ask me not to take any pictures themselves. Instead they had some hired security yell at me loudly and rudely; asking why I was taking pictures. I said because I was at the event for a conference. Not surprising the hired staff here are all rude as can be. The front door security to the hired security for the event. They are worried of pictures because they feel it is intellectual property. Give me a The food is all the worst possible options for a $400-$500 event. Bread, fried ravioli, chicken, sausage and peppers, pulled pork, beef, corn bread, Caesar, spinach salad. I would rather eat Taco Bell or Fazoli fast food than the refuse they are feeding us. Unreal. The sausage and peppers and cheesecake were okay, pulled pork and the Caesar and spinach salad were so-so, everything else wasn't so good. The guided tour or self guided tour part was better than their service and meal portion. R&R HOF. Better part of this was place is all of the music playing during your visit.

Our 1st time visiting here. We weren't expecting 5 floors of different things to see. For the big kid in everyone, the "Garage" floor let's you jam to guitars or drums. So kick ass! I especially loved the 20min video in the theater that showcased Prince at the end, bcuz he is the ultimate artist!! The Cafe they have here is also pretty decent. My chicken Naan sandwich had alot of meat on it, really good. All in all, as a music lover, this was definitely the place to hang.on a cold day. Please give yourselves time, I was there for 3.5hrs! #musicislife

I feel like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is kind of hard to review and rate. If you are really into music history especially the 60s to the early 80s, then you will love it. If you have younger people with you, they are not going to have the inherent nostalgia to a lot of the memorabilia. While the building itself is very cool, it kindof sets up odd with a lot of wasted space and I could very well be wrong but it feels a little like the building and the exhibits were built 30 plus years ago and could use more touching up. I know it is a Hall of Fame so inherently it is not going to have as much newer music, but it feels like it almost stops in 1995. That all being said, it is a really unique place and has a lot of cool parts. If you are into music history, you could spend days in there. The garage band level on the 2nd or 3rd floor is very cool and interactive. They have tons of band/performer costumes and tons of guitars. I wouldn't say that it is a destination to come to Cleveland to see on its own (unless you are really into music), but it is definitely a place to check out when you are in Cleveland.

Kicked off our visit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with a walk down comedy memory lane -- the SNL exhibit had us cracking up! From classic characters to unforgettable skits, it was a trip through some of the most hilarious moments in TV history.

The 1st exhibit you go through was hip hop! I loved it! I wish it were bigger! I've been dying to go here for years. My family live throughout Ohio. I was in Lorain & decided to stop in Cleveland before my drive back to Connecticut. I was a little bummed food trucks featured on shows were no longer there in the front. There's exhibits where you get to learn how to play instruments(think piano,guitar,drums,etc.) & make your own beats. You get to see numerous artists artifacts(their clothing,instruments,cars,footwear,song lyrics,etc.). It was sooo cool! Overall,such a great experience! I took so many photos, I wish I could post all of them!

The RNR HOF was very interesting. Their new SNL display is a lot of fun. We enjoyed it as well as the women in music and legends areas. Well worth the trip. Start to finish it took us a little under 3 hours to casually get through everything. My only minor complaint is some of the rooms were a little difficult to manage because of traffic. Some arrows on the floor would help alleviate that.

Great stop for all music lovers. Museum has five levels and something for everyone. Memorabilia, pics, videos, and lots of history. Exhibits for kids and really cool memorabilia. Nice gift shop and of course great music.

Very cool place! Who doesn't like some kind of music. I couldn't stop singing and dancing the whole time there. The place is overwhelming. There are so many things to read and discover. My fav sections were the women of rock and 1984. I loved seeing the outfits work by these stars. I also thought the notes the artist used to write there songs were interesting. Some were scribbles and cross-outs and doodles in the margins and some looked like a well written poem. So cool. While I have no talent for playing an instrument, I had a blast pretending I could play an electric guitar, a bass, keyboards, and drums. I could not get my feet pounding out different rhythms for the life of me. How do they do it! I thought the beat station was cool as well. We spent about 3 hours here and went through all the exhibits at some pace. You could easily spend more time here reading and listening to more. We parked in the science museum parking ramp which was a short walk to the HOF. Staff was great as I left my phone at a station, someone turned it in, and they walked it back to me. Great afternoon.

Let's ROCK!!! I've been wanting to come here for a couple of decades. Today it was worth the wait. We toured the whole place from top to bottom in about three hours. We got there a few minutes before they opened at 10 AM and it wasn't super crowded and we also found parking very close by. One could probably spend a day or two here. There is a lot to see and read if you wanted to go through the place thoroughly, but we didn't have time on our agenda to spend the whole day. I would've loved it if we did. I would also like to take a Viking cruise on Lake Erie. They had a 50 years of hip-hop exhibit on the ground floor, as well as a bunch of the early influencers in rock 'n' roll all the way through some of the masters, like Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles. As you went higher in the building, the music continued to get newer for the most part. The second floor was mostly a participation area. The third floor had all the inductees on plaques and a great movie about the induction experience. The fourth and fifth floors went through more of rocks, history, and the folks that were inducted at the Rock Hall. The sixth floor was dedicated to a special exhibit for Bon Jovi. It was pretty special. On the day we were there the guy who plays Puddles Pity Party was there and we saw him out of costume. A nice bonus.

I have been wanting to come here for years. I finally made it today. What an experience this was! There are so many great exhibits on display with so many great legendary rock 'n' roll artist plus R&B and hip-hop. There's even a great view of the water.

At first I was annoyed by the cost of admission. The first floor seemed chaotic and I felt overwhelmed. Then we went up to the second floor where the interactive exhibits were and I felt like I got my money's worth!! First, there are the practice/jam space. Then there is the live band that you can jump in and play/sing along. That was such an epic fun experience!!! Finally, the top floor where the Bon Jovi exhibit was. Chef kiss!!! My favorite part of the whole place!!

Poorly designed floor plan. The flow of people was terrible and I would not visit a second time. There were many areas that were so crowded that we skipped the exhibits just to get through. I am sure if you were one of the first in when it opened it could be enjoyable. Lots to see if you don't mind being bumped, nudged, pushed and people walking between you and your party while trying to have some resemblance of a conversation.

Induction Ceremony weekend and what a blast for our first visit to the Hall of Fame. We came for Foreigner. But enjoyed most of the inductees and all the displays inside. So much to see and do. Loved the level 2 interactive sections. Must be great if you know music or how to play anything. I got on the drums not knowing what I am doing and still had fun. Just some amazing things to see. Thought it might have been bigger and it will be soon and construction all around.

Closed without notice. Website said open till 8pm. Drove from several states away only to be told they were closed for "special event". How about holding your special events after hours, that are already published. Turned around and drove home, kids were upset. Might start listening to Country Music.

We headed to the Rock and Roll hall of fame a few months back to see the new inductee's. We haven't visited in quite a few years , but are glad we did! We never give ourselves enough time, there were a few areas we would have spent extra time at. Dave Matthews Band is what we went to see but also really enjoyed seeing Ozzie and Cher finally inducted! We saw Mavis Staples play with DMB last year so Loved seeing the Staple Singers display. Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis piano were very cool! It was also cool seeing U2, Eddie Van Halen, Mother Love Bone, Alice In Chains, the Beatles, Joni Hendrix!

I've been waiting a long time to come here. And we were not disappointed we stayed for almost 5 hours. So much to see. And my sister Sarah got to sing at the end. I liked all the movies and the gift shop. They also have a small cafe. Buy tickets on line before you go. Parking is free on Saturday and Sunday. But paid to park on street. 4 hour parking is cheap around $5. But then we had to move the car. This whole city is just dumb when it comes to parking. Too many signs too many rules. I Get frustrated. But we came..we saw It was cool. Now off to Canada..

I really enjoyed my time here ! I went by myself after a conference but really wish that I was with another person. There are 5 levels of things to look at and see. The first level held the most stuff of memorabilia through out the decades. My favorite part was seeing the Beatles stuff. The second level is more or less some of the same stuff as well as rock band area where people can play instruments . They also have on this level an amazing show that was very cool to watch of some of the musicians part of the hall of fame. The staff was all very nice and kind. And I appreciated their willingness to offer This isn't a place that you would find much to do other than look and watch things which I really like! I think the price should be a little lower but it was nice to go at least once

Didn't know what to expect. We got there at noon and walked around, trying the different things like live band for "karaoke", my family really enjoyed that. There's a nice souvenir shop where my boyfriend picked up 5 albums. Some of my family tried the snack bar and they seemed to like the food. I had the hot chocolate (it was 30 degrees in April!!) which was nice.

We have always wanted to come here and we finally made it. We had a great time, and we stayed from open to an hour before close. Staff are so friendly and two of them were Deadheads which was great because we chatted for a while and they lead me right to where all the Grateful Dead memorabilia was located. Another secret you might no know about me is I'm a big James Brown fan; it was so cool to see all the JB memorabilia and knowing that he was one of the first artists inducted back in 1986 with Robert Johnson, wow what an honor! There are 5 floors to this experience (the sixth is under construction) so its a lot to see. You start on ground zero and work your way up. Ground zero takes you back in time to how how rock began and works it's way to today. The first floor has a food court, a small stage, and the gift shop. Level 2 has a jam area where you can jam out to a song of your choice with the music coordinators from the hall of fame. Nancy's sister sang Pat Benitars Hit me with your best shot and they sounded amazing. Level three has the hall of fame gallery, the 2023 inductees, and the power of rock experience. The power of rock experience is a real treat it's only about 15 minutes long and plays once an hour so make an effort to see it. Then ending brought us to tears. Level 4 has a section dedicated to Pink Floyd's the Wall, Level 5 is dedicated to the legends of rock, and level 6 is closed. We loved all that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame had to offer but wish there was more dedicated to the great bands from the 80's. Honestly Rap and Hip Hop have better representation here than the rock bands from the 80's. We bought our tickets online for $35 each. They offer discounts for students and children (I believe under 12). Once you receive your arm band you can come and go as you please. You cannot walk around with food or drink unless your bottle can be sealed with a cap. You can take photos and videos but no flash photography. You also cannot take photo or video during the power of rock show. I almost forgot to mention there is a great video compilation of Soul Train on a loop at ground zero. Parking is a pain because it's not free. You can get a spot off 9th if you're lucky for about $5 for 4 hours but after that you have to move to the expensive lot at $4 per hour. The whole city of Cleveland is like this even in the places where there is nothing to do, it's no wonder this city is dead. Fortunately they do have the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to keep visitors coming. I would definitely come back but it's one of those things you do every 10 years or when one of your favorite rockers get inducted. It's a great experience I'll never forget and recommend going if you happen to be in the area.

Worth the visit, even if you're not a classic rock and roll. fan. They have things on display for all types of music - rock (obviously), hip hop, rap, blues, country, etc. There is a significant number of artifacts from a huge range of artists illustrating the evolution of rock. The design is extremely cool. Do not rush through the ground floor as each floor after is significantly smaller (it is a pyramid, after all!) The second floor has a lot of interactive pieces from instruments, to pinball machines, to a station where you can create your own band logo. My one and only complaint was the number of people within the museum. I feel that I can complain about traffic because their website repeatedly recommends to book a time ahead of your visit to ensure you will be able to enter. Despite this, we were shoulder to shoulder with people the entire time, making it difficult to navigate and see things at times. It was clear that if there is a limit of people they let in, they don't actually follow it. Aside from this, I highly recommend a visit.

"Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me. I can't help it." - ELVIS PRESLEY I was surprised that the Rock Hall (as they call it) has only been in Cleveland since 1995. Cleveland was eventually chosen as the site due to its place where the phrase "rock and roll" was coined by DJ Alan Freed and his support of the new sound. This impressive pyramid by I M Pei on Lake Erie is strange, maybe the universal shape calls to all of us on a primeval level. Prepare to spend a few hours as you learn about the roots of rock, the pioneers, different cities and their influences, and hundreds of artifacts, clothing, instruments, special exhibits and more. I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of items, all of it explained by placards in small type, crowded by people. I did have fun though because I was by myself, and I could focus on what I wanted and not be dragged around by someone telling me what I had to see. I liked the Hip Hop exhibit on the ground floor, the new Revolutionary Women in Music exhibit, along with the Cities and Sounds exhibit, and the sections with Elvis, The Beatles. I bypassed the floor where you could play an instrument and jam. I enjoyed the floor with Hall of Fame inductees and voting for 2024. The top two floors were accessed by steep stairs. They were interesting, but the stairs were either close and narrow, or winding. You have to backtrack those same stairs to exit the exhibits. It was a bit of sensory overload for me. The main floor has a small cafe and tables, there is a nice store, and seating by the Pink Floyd Wall and of course in the theaters. I would have liked to revisit some exhibits that I sped through but that will have to wait for some future time.

The place is pretty cool for any music lover. Some really cool displays and some fun interaction items so you can jam out. Would highly suggest stopping

First off, BIG SHOUT OUT TO EMMA, FOR GOING OVER AND ABOVE THE CALL OF DUTY, THANK YOU! Hall of fame was very well laid out, easy access, staff very friendly and helpful. Loved going there, we'll be back, and spread the word Greg A

I had a wonderful time visiting here during HoF weekend. The museum is in a beautiful location near the water and within walking distance of some hotels and restaurants downtown. There is a lot with paid parking nearby, but on busy days it seems like it may fill up quickly. The museum has multiple levels, inside cafe, food trucks outside at designated hours, a really nice gift shop and exhibits for all music tastes. My personal favorites were the inductee hall with all of the signatures and the theater that was playing clips from Soul Train. This is definitely a highlight of the city!

Visiting Cleveland, the hall is a must-do but it's rather lame. If I could give 2.5 stars, I would. I was visiting during The Rolling Stones concert weekend, which likely contributed to the overcrowding inside. It was so crowded, it was impossible to see everything and read signage related to items. The majority of the hall consists of costumes, instruments and other memorabilia from bands for the last 60 years. While some of it is cool, other parts are lame, does anyone care about hip-hop singer, Ciara's 2009 bikini???? It also felt like a bit of promo or commercials for newer acts. Overall, I guess I'm glad I went but have no reason to ever return.

Came here only because of my sister. This museum is loaded with facts, media, and artifacts. My 9yr old thought it was so cool to see Michael Jackson's shoes. There were some interactive stations; my daughter was able to play with an instrument and make a beat. The lady in change of the 3:30pn showing at the Foster theater was super rude. The gift shop at the exit had some hard to find music merchandise. Staring at outfits that celebrities is really not my thing, but every one else enjoyed themselves.

OH 02-2024 Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland with hubby Tony Vanoy . This was a weekend getaway for us both, we've been having so many health issues and Tony had a small raise at work so we said why not!! It's only 3 hrs away! We stayed overnight and went up Saturday morning. I bought our tickets online for 10am for $35 each. We paid $10 for parking at parking lot across the street. I have to say we were disappointed. We figured we would be there for 2-4 hours but we were there barely 2 hrs. There is not a lot of exhibit items on display. It was disappointing!!! Thought there would be more instruments, costumes, items, stuff...but NOT!!! The upper floors were okay but sparsely filled and literally barely any exhibits. I felt slightly cheated! With so many bands out there, this building should be stuffed to the gills with stuff!!! I felt it was a little over priced....$20 would be fair and they would still make a fortune!!

Had a chance to visit the R&R HOF during a company event in November. I was expecting displays dedicated to Rock and Roll, but there was SO...MUCH...MORE! The amount to see (and do) was amazing. So, let me start with this...the R&R HOF is multiple floors of museum-type displays, but also includes video and interactive displays as well, including an opportunity to make a Rock and Roll sticker for a band of your choice. They give you two - one you can stick to the display and another to take home - very cool! When you leave, there is a huge gift shop dedicated to a wide variety of musical categories and interests. There were displays dedicated to famous rock musicians such as Kiss, but also Pop, Hip-Hop, and R&B. I gave this five starts for a couple reasons - 1) so much to do but it could all be done in one visit; 2) on a second visit, you could go deeper and spend more time; 3) interactive displays, videos, and the take-home sticker. I had a great time and can't wait to visit again!

Visual and audio overload. Ideal if you like being distracted. Map was useless. Closed pathways not indicated. Location of toilet on first floor is hard to locate. Was looking to listen and learn reading or watching videos). Couldn't do that with background noise. Tried to listen Leonard Cohen songs and read bio and discography but Aretha Franklin audio drowning out even headphones. Rock n roll experience, slouf and frantic. Wish one could relax into an experience. Not recommended.

First time in Cleveland and we went to the R&R Hall of Fame. What a treat it was! We got tickets ahead of time and at entry, they scan the QR code and give you the wrist band to show that you paid. You can spend quite a bit of time here if you were to read and listen to all different recordings. They also have some short videos you can watch on one of the floors towards the top. This place is just such a cool place to visit if you are in Cleveland.

Great place if you have time to spare as it will take you around 3 to 4 hours. On Thursdays they have extended hours, but check the website for a more accurate time of their hours. There's no need to reserve your time slot as you can buy on their kiosk when you arrive at whatever time. It won't fill up. I enjoyed the entire experience as I knew many artists that were inducted. It's like going through time as you read and listen to each musical genre. I liked how they incorporated hip hop, pop, jazz and etc... I recommend this place if you're into music.

One of the coolest museums for music lovers! I had been here once before - about 12ish years ago - before I had a true appreciation for music so I knew I had to come back again. My friends and I made the trip down from Michigan and I'm super happy we did! We booked our tickets online in advance. We originally booked them for 11:30 but decided to switch them to 11 a couple days before. We had to pay a small fee to do so but it's nice that they give you the option. If you are from Cleveland, you can get into the museum for free. It was pretty busy but that was expected of a Saturday and they were also having a women in music event as their newest exhibit just opened honoring that topic. We started on the bottom floor as recommended by the ticket scanners but once we worked through that floor, we decided to head up to the top floor and work our way down. I read some tips on the museum website that recommended this way to avoid crowds and I definitely felt like this was the right move. All of the artifacts are super cool to see. I think it's interesting that they are stilled called the rock and roll hall of fame when realistically they should just change their name to the music hall of fame. There is definitely a huge mixture of genres and it is not focused on only rock music. I do have pretty high knowledge of music history already so I can't say that I learned anything new but I still loved seeing everything up close. My favorite areas were where the music history is separated by cities/regions, and I also loved the actual floor with the rock and roll hall of fame inductees and their signatures. Very cool setup and fun to feel all the engravings of the signatures.
