Preview: Ohio’s second-largest city, once jokingly referred to as the “mistake by the lake,” is having the last laugh these days. Around the country a number of urban planners and envious city officials are pointing to Cleveland as the comeback city of the twentieth century. Today it’s also a sophisticated metropolis and a fascinating family destination. Despite an industrial bent, you’ll find more than 19,000 acres of parkland and 90 miles of scenic Lake Erie shoreline, one of the country’s finest art museums, and a renowned group of professional theaters for playgoers of all ages. Clevelanders are proud of their city, a five-time recipient of the prestigious All-American City Award. Recent headlines announced plans for a third lakefront museum to open in 2004, plans for new powerboat races, and a spiffy new Hyatt Regency, located in the city’s historic 111-year-old arcade. The above description is an excerpt from "Fun With the Family in Northern California." Whether you're a first-time visitor or a long-time local resident, this chapter from the Fun With the Family Series will help you find fun and engaging activities that the entire family can enjoy at great destinations throughout the state, suitable for “kids” of all ages.
