Visiting Ohio for the first time, we just HAD to visit the museum! Purchased tickets off their site using my AAA member discount and only paid $17 per ticket. Good deal! We parked at a nearby lot by the water for $8.
The staff working there is very friendly and I hardly noticed them as we went through the museum. There were a few classes of kids running amok, so I kinda wished they regulated on that more.
The museum covers all genres and showcased all kinds of musical gems such as instruments, costumes, souvenirs, programs and lyric books. Being only 2 feet away from MJ's costume for the "Thriller" video was just astounding. I also enjoyed looking at the original written lyrics to various songs by various artists. Who knew Aerosmith's "Walk this Way" was so dirty?
Definitely a fun and educational place for music buffs. They covered so much, yet not enough. If you haven't been, go!
