Children Riding on the Swings

Summer’s the perfect time to relax and enjoy fun outdoor activities with your kids! If you’re searching for some of the best attractions and destinations this season, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s a list of activities and events for you to check out around Cleveland this summer:

Summer Splash in The Square

Presented by the Cleveland Foundation, Summer Splash in The Square is a free event for children of all ages. Drop by Public Square with your kids for fun daily activities like chalk art sessions, fountain playtime, mini-basketball, jump ropes, water tables, and more.

Visit the Cleveland Botanical Garden

Nestled in the heart of Cleveland’s University Circle, the Cleveland Botanical Garden is a sprawling ten-acre urban oasis where visitors can reconnect with nature.

Explore the beautiful gardens and be sure to stop by the two glasshouses. The rainforest glasshouse, in particular, is always a big hit with kids, as it is filled with hundreds of colorful butterflies fluttering throughout its massive interiors.

The Cleveland Botanical Garden is also home to the Hershey Children’s Garden, one of the first venues of its kind in the country. Established back in 1999, the garden still continues to serve as a model for children’s gardens throughout the world. Kids will be able to enjoy activities like observing honeybees, searching for turtles, frogs, and fish in the pond, and learning how to take care of plants.
