Destination: Cleveland

The Aviator is a top Cleveland event venue, with the added attractions of a restaurant, pub, and rooftop bar onsite.

Highlights of Cleveland's downtown waterfront include the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Great Lakes Science Center (home to NASA's Glenn Visitor Center). Plus, restaurants (and breweries!) to please every taste.

Sports are life in The Land, and that means pro football, baseball, and basketball. But the arts are thriving too! Playhouse Square is the biggest performing arts center in the U.S. outside of NYC and just a few miles from the Cleveland Orchestra's beautiful Severance Music Center.

Temperatures in September range from an average low of 57° F to a high of 75° F.
