<div class="boxspacer">&nbsp;</div>
Attracting more than half a million visitors every year, this iconic destination is home to stunning exhibits paying homage to rock and roll, and plays host to incredible live performances by renowned musicians throughout the year. If you&rsquo;re planning on paying a visit, then here are a few things you&rsquo;ll want to know before you go.

<div class="boxspacer">&nbsp;</div>

<h4>Buy Your Tickets in Advance</h4>
Even though the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame doesn&rsquo;t usually sell out, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to book your tickets before visiting to avoid waiting in a line after you arrive. If you&rsquo;ve bought your tickets online, you can either get them printed or show them on your phone upon arrival. Click <a href="https://www.viator.com/tours/Cleveland/Rock-and-Roll-Hall-of-Fame-admission/d22926-57585P1?SSAID=1041193&amp;aid=sas0_132440_1041193&amp;mcid=43009&amp;SSAIDDATA=SSCID%5Fd1k3%5F28sup" target="_blank">here</a> to book your tickets.

<div class="boxspacer">&nbsp;</div>

<h4>Plan on Spending Some Time to Explore</h4>
Here&rsquo;s the thing &ndash; the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is vast, covering 55,000 square feet over seven levels. So if you&rsquo;re planning on dropping by for just an hour, you&rsquo;ll miss out on most of the exhibits. Even if you want to explore all the exhibits in a hurry, you&rsquo;ll need at least 3 hours and a lot more if you want to spend some time watching the videos along the way.

<div class="boxspacer">&nbsp;</div>

<h4>There&rsquo;s More to it than Just Rock</h4>
The exhibits aren&rsquo;t only about rock and roll, even though you might make that assumption from looking at the name. From early influences like the blues, R&amp;B, bluegrass, and folk music that played a pivotal role in shaping the genre to exhibits highlighting rock and roll&rsquo;s influence on hip-hop, you&rsquo;ll find it all here.

<div class="boxspacer">&nbsp;</div>
So what are you waiting for? Book your tickets today and immerse yourself in the storied past and fascinating present of this dynamic genre of music.]]></description><link>https://www.hiclevelandclinic.com/blog/top-tips-for-visiting-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame</link><comments>https://www.hiclevelandclinic.com/blog/top-tips-for-visiting-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame#comments</comments><pubDate>Tue, 19 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate><dc:creator> Holiday Inn Cleveland Clinic</dc:creator><category>things-to-do</category></item><item><title>The Foodie’s Guide to Cleveland, Ohio</title><description><![CDATA[<h3>The Foodie&rsquo;s Guide to Cleveland Ohio</h3>

<div class="boxspacer">&nbsp;</div>
Since its inception in 1921, Cleveland Clinic has consistently made breakthroughs in medical science and established itself as a leader in healthcare and one of the finest academic medical centers. Today, the clinic treats more than four million patients every year, with more than half of them coming to its main campus from outside Ohio. And there&rsquo;s good reason for its popularity and reputation. Here are a few things that make Cleveland Clinic stand apart.

<div class="boxspacer">&nbsp;</div>

<h4>A Legacy of Innovation</h4>
Over the years, Cleveland Clinic has made its mark with a long list of clinical innovations, including the first coronary angiography in 1958, first coronary artery bypass surgery in 1967, and the first minimally invasive aortic valve surgery in 1996. The clinic was also responsible for inventing the &quot;washing-machine&quot; dialysis machine.
