    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

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

    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.

    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!

    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.

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

    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).

    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!

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

    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!

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.”

    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!
