The Rock and roll hall of fame is amazing. A must-visit when coming to Cleveland. It brings nostalgia, inspiration, and excitement. One thing though- bring your own lunch because the cafe is not good.

Victoria S

I didn't think I would enjoy this very much because I only knew a few artists , but learning about everything from the history of rock and the inspiration and listening to the music is so fascinating!

Tom Halleran

Fans can easily spend a full day or more here. Plan to spend lots of time on the first floor where the bulk of the exhibits are, then a few hours on the rest of the floors. Incredible stuff!

Erik Cintron

Amazing museum even if your not a fan of rock and roll. It set up in a way where you see everything. 6 floors of fun history info and memorabilia . The staff is very enthusiastic. 22 a person.

Jake Smith

If this is your first time, check out all of the 1st floor memorabilia . Be sure to return if one of your favorite artists is the featured exhibit ; the museum does a great job on the features.

Justin Martin

I didn’t think I’d enjoy the experience but I was wrong. It’s great to look at some of the bands that shaped the musical landscape. The memorabilia almost makes me feel I was touching the artists !

Ted Roehm

You can’t come to Cleveland and not visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One of the best museums around.

Keith Petersen

6 floors of interactive displays along with great collection of memorabilia in a nice location. Buy tickets ahead of time on website.

Jon Darveau

If you are a Rock fan this is a must do on your list. Could spend the entire day here getting lost in all the great history and artifacts . The videos produced in house are outstanding.

Ivo Tzvetkov

Numerous exhibits tracing the development of modern music . Cast your vote for next year’s class to see some of your favorite musicians join the rest of the legends. The Connor Theater is a must.

Discover Ohio

The 150,000 square-foot museum features 7 floors, 4 theaters for films , special events and free public programs and ever-changing exhibits - plus, you can even rent the Rock Hall for a special event .

I was here in 1999 last and wasn't sure if I wanted to pay again $22 for this museum . Well , I did and turned out to be a great decision. It's bigger, better, more interactive. Glad I came. Rock on!

Brian Strauss

An amazing collection. A very consuming and emotional experience. A beautiful spot on Lake Erie. Weird building.

Amazing place for those who love Rock and roll! A must-visit place! Buy your ticket and have hours of fun!

Albree Govea

What a fun place to see the history of music and videos of iconic moments! A must see place in Cleveland!

Ed Flores

I had a really good time, I was brought back in time for a little while looking at all the awesome memorabilia . I spent about 2 hours but, definitely would have spent more time there if it wasn't fo.

Co G

A beautiful building w/a lot of information about the origins of Rock and Roll, although I feel the Native American contribution was not added.

Giacson

Any music lover should visit,get inspired and come out with a smile and hears full of good music

Social News Network

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is every bit as cool as you'd expect. So much cool information about a variety of artists . It's a must for music lovers !

Jess Hayes

Awesome place! Stopped here on the way home from cedar point, me and my boyfriend love r&r so this was an amazing museum to visit!

Erin Brodhagen

How can you describe this place in so few words?? If you are a music lover , you must come here!! 5 floors of exhibits and so many cool artifacts ...

AJ T.

Really excellent museum ! So much to see and look at! We took about 4hrs to go through it all, and could've still seen more.

Cindy Bode

Better for teenagers and up. Heavier on classic rock and Rock history more than newer music . Had a Kati Perry outfit.

T W

Awesome! Need minimum of 4 hours. Gift shop is also a huge music store (remember those!) with vinyl . Got Devo's Freedom of Choice album (new pressing but still).

@dlayphoto

If you're planning on going more than once, consider getting a Membership. Most of the Membership Fee is tax deductible, and pays for itself quickly. It's also great to have when out-of-towners visit!

Karen Forbes Villanueva

Well worth the admission and the 6 hour drive from Chicago. Just remember take all the pic you want but NO FLASH!!!!!!!

Rob Stecky

Great place to kill sometime; even if you don't want to drop $20 to get in, you can still see displayes and there is a really cool park behind the muesum! Right on the lake !

Ashley Edgerton

Do your research before you go. The exhibits change and the museum is very large. When I went, Johnny Cash's tour bus was on display outside. You will see new things each time you visit.

Jon Paschal

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is an awesome place to go

Jodi Mock Wolfe

Always awesome, always fun, and always something new, so rockers can visit again and again! Keep an eye out for new exhibits . And get KISS in there, for chrissakes!

John Ritchens

The place is an insult to a true rock and roller.There are a lot of things NOT related to rock like Taylor Swift, Hip Hop , Rap..It’s using rock and roll’s name to make money under it.Why not Detroit?

Kenneth Sherrill

They have rock and roll... a lot to see, plan on spending a lot of time here.

Cleveland Magazine

DJ Alan Freed popularized the phrase "rock 'n' roll" and has a place of honor here. An urn containing his ashes are part of an upper-floor exhibit that celebrates Freed's contributions.

Steve Shepherd

Highly recommend a visit. Great exhibits . Lots to see and do.

Jason Hepperly

Pack a lunch , spend most of the time on the first level, make sure you take all day!

Shannon Jeropke

Pretty much a must visit for anyone visiting Cleveland.

Mark Wyrick

Be careful buying shirts . Mine twisted so the "Let it Be" wrapped around my side when it should have been square on my chest.

Kevin Vincent

Make sure you visit. It is well worth the few hours walking around if you love music and music history.

Scott D

Great experience! We had been looking forward to visiting for a long time and were not disappointed.

Hard Rock

In 1995, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame opened its permanent home, after going without since its inception in 1983. Archiving and preserving music history for nearly 30 years, the Hall is a treasure.

Chrissy Tobin

Check out the inductees exhibit with cool, glowing signatures of amazing artists !

Kelly Slothower

Best videos on 3rd floor induction ceremony highlight (10 min) film (90 min). Go to the Rolling Stones stuff even though its super crowded .

Lori-Jo S

U2 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 2005. The lobby features the neon sign used during the ZooTV tour - along with three Trabants which hung over the stage.

HISTORY

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was created in 1983. Cleveland was chosen for the location because of disc jockey Alan Freed, who was known for promoting the new genre called “Rock and Roll.”

Stephanie

If you go in the morning, start on the second floor and go up, then back to the first floor. You'll avoid most of the crowd!

Brandie Slicer

Everything! If you really want to soak up the experience plan on spending at least 2 days here!

Marine Corps

Marines are everywhere – even in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The Everly Brothers were one of the first 10 artists inducted into the HOF, and they proudly served as Marines in the mid-1960s.

K12 Inc

Did you know? Because rock&roll evolved from earlier genres, it's difficult to pinpoint the first rock record -but many think that it was Jackie Brenston and Ike Turner’s “Rocket 88,” recorded in 1951 Read more

Katie Kauffman

Fun spot...loved seeing the outfits. Shouldn't take more than 2 hours to get through, unless you like doing a lot of reading. Rock on, Cleveland!

Kendra Pereira

If you love museums and music this is the place to go!!! Check out Pink Floyd The Wall
