September & October Yearly Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)

Posted byRobert GollPosted inDate Your Mate, Events, Family Fun Time, Finances, Parenting, Save MoneyTags:, , , , ,

It has been a year since we began our look at the Free Family Events in the Cleveland area.

We are now going to begin writing about new areas of God’s creation and provision, while continuing to post events that repeat yearly. We will also fill in some details about specific featured events.

Feel free to add specific events in the comments area below.

Also visit our original posts for September and October events, for more ideas of events.

Featured Event

  • The Cleveland Air Show
    • The Cleveland Air Show is on Labor Day weekend. We have been going for a few years and this year we found the perfect locations to park and watch the show.
      • We parked across from the “Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities” and “WKYC-TV” ($3)
      • We then walked directly across the street to a little gate between these two buildings. This location is directly behind the airport and you can easily see the show in a nice, shaded, area. If you desire you can go behind the WKYC building for a better view. (We didn’t do this since we have young children and didn’t want them to roll down the hill. :o)
      • Before the military formation fliers come (This year it was the Air Force Thunderbirds), you can walk down to Voinovich Bicentennial Park, where the planes will fly right over your head (loud!) and you can even see the pilots as they whip by.

New Discoveries of the month

  • Rockefeller Park & Greenhouse
    • For a warm forest walk in the winter (in Cleveland), to see how banana’s grow, to enjoy a garden for the blind and much more, the Rockefeller Park & Greenhouse is a wonderful free destination.
    • It is also on the path of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens near University Circle.
  • Baldwin Wallace University Cafeteria
    • The Cafeteria is located in the Student Union.
    • For non-students paying to eat, it is $6 for breakfast, $8 for lunch and $10 for dinner (no tip or tax). It is all buffet style and the food choices change daily. There are a variety of areas featuring different types of food. (For dinner, you can also fill a good size box for $8 instead of the buffet. I’m not sure about the other meals.)
    • The hours are:
      • Breakfast: Monday-Friday 7-10:30 a.m.; Saturday and Sunday 8-10:30 a.m.
      • Lunch: Monday-Sunday 11 a.m. -3:30 p.m.
        • For lunch some things may close down at around 2pm, but there is still lots to choose from.
      • Dinner: Monday-Sunday 4-8 p.m.
    • For a fun, college atmosphere, good food made fresh, decent prices, this is a nice place to visit.
    • For those with children: We had a hard time being there with our 17 month old as he wanted to get into everything and there are no high chairs. Until he is older, we will use this more as a place for date times and perhaps individual times with our older boys.
