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 SApril 2, 2017
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!

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 CintronSeptember 13, 2013
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 SmithJuly 28, 2013
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.

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 RoehmFebruary 13, 2018
You can’t come to Cleveland and not visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One of the best museums around.
Keith PetersenJune 26, 2023
6 floors of interactive displays along with great collection of memorabilia in a nice location. Buy tickets ahead of time on website.
Jon DarveauAugust 6, 2012
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 TzvetkovAugust 14, 2019
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.

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!

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 GoveaAugust 31, 2015
What a fun place to see the history of music and videos of iconic moments! A must see place in Cleveland!
Ed FloresMay 5, 2017
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 GDecember 31, 2014
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.
GiacsonAugust 29, 2016
Any music lover should visit,get inspired and come out with a smile and hears full of good music
Social News NetworkOctober 26, 2013
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 HayesAugust 29, 2015
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 BrodhagenFebruary 6, 2016
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.September 4, 2016
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 BodeMarch 26, 2016
Better for teenagers and up. Heavier on classic rock and Rock history more than newer music. Had a Kati Perry outfit.
T WSeptember 7, 2013
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).
@dlayphotoMarch 4, 2010
Been here 5+ times
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 VillanuevaJuly 29, 2013
Well worth the admission and the 6 hour drive from Chicago. Just remember take all the pic you want but NO FLASH!!!!!!!
Rob SteckySeptember 29, 2012
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 EdgertonFebruary 14, 2012
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 PaschalAugust 29, 2017
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is an awesome place to go
Jodi Mock WolfeDecember 30, 2012
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 RitchensSeptember 1, 2017
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 SherrillMay 31, 2016
They have rock and roll... a lot to see, plan on spending a lot of time here.
Cleveland MagazineMay 15, 2012
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 ShepherdDecember 5, 2016
Highly recommend a visit. Great exhibits. Lots to see and do.
Jason HepperlyAugust 22, 2017
Pack a lunch, spend most of the time on the first level, make sure you take all day!
Shannon JeropkeOctober 14, 2021
Pretty much a must visit for anyone visiting Cleveland.
Mark WyrickJuly 10, 2022
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 VincentDecember 31, 2014
Make sure you visit. It is well worth the few hours walking around if you love music and music history.
Scott DJune 9, 2017
Great experience! We had been looking forward to visiting for a long time and were not disappointed.
Hard RockJune 11, 2011
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 TobinAugust 8, 2014
Check out the inductees exhibit with cool, glowing signatures of amazing artists!
Kelly SlothowerJuly 5, 2013
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 SDecember 19, 2011
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.
HISTORYJuly 19, 2010
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.”
StephanieJuly 21, 2015
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 SlicerMay 30, 2016
Everything! If you really want to soak up the experience plan on spending at least 2 days here!
Marine CorpsJanuary 17, 2012
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 IncJune 20, 2011
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 KauffmanDecember 17, 2013
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 PereiraAugust 4, 2013
If you love museums and music this is the place to go!!! Check out Pink Floyd The Wall
