We love going to IX! It's become an Easter weekend tradition for our family. There is something for everyone and there is never a dull moment!! There were rides for us big kids all the way down to rides for our 4 year old! (He had a blast last year at 3 too!) If you get your tickets at the local Drug Mart, there is much savings to be had! Four tickets and the parking pass for $84 is a pretty good deal over the at-the-door price. Of course tickets can also be purchased on the website. Parking is $10 if not purchased with the 4 pack of tickets, which I've only seen sold at the Drug Marts. They always have great side shows too! This year was a hypnotist, an escape artist, an animal guy, and a sea lion show! (Sorry I don't remember all of their individual names or if I missed any. You know who you are and rest assured you brought so much joy and entertainment to those who watched your shows!) One year they had a dog show! The kids talked about that for a week! They have a petting zoo type area with sheep, goats, cows, rabbits, and pigs. They sell feed for $1/dixie cup. There was a pony ride too! The food is pretty standard amusement park/carnival food. The Staples we enjoyed were the hand rolled soft pretzels, nachos and cheese (they had cheddar and spicy!), popcorn, ice cream, and slushies/sno-cones! There was a Kona Ice truck! So good, so many flavors! The plentiful bathrooms were clean; there were workers constantly cleaning! Thanks to those folks! There are several baby changing stations and there was also a private space for pumping/nursing moms.

Attending the NSCC 2024 at the International Exposition Center in Cleveland was an outstanding experience! The venue was perfectly suited for such a large-scale event, and every aspect of the visit exceeded our expectations. The Expo Center’s spacious layout and state-of-the-art facilities provided an ideal setting for the conference. The organization of the event was impeccable, with clear signage and helpful staff guiding attendees to various sessions, exhibits, and meeting areas. The flow of the event was seamless, allowing us to make the most of our time there. The range of exhibitors and presentations at NSCC 2024 was impressive, offering valuable insights and networking opportunities. The center’s modern amenities, including comfortable seating areas, ample restrooms, and convenient food and beverage options, made the experience even more enjoyable. Accessibility to the venue was excellent, with ample parking and efficient public transport links. The surrounding area offered plenty of accommodation and dining choices, adding to the overall convenience and enjoyment of the visit. Overall, the International Exposition Center proved to be a fantastic venue for NSCC 2024, combining excellent facilities with top-notch organization. I highly recommend it for any large event or conference!

Always love the car show what is missed is the glamour of it all the future cars, the displays just were not like they once were. I took note all brands had there best out and no base models at all fully loaded and fully priced.. The night started out poorly as our parking pass taken us to the east gate. Now I’m handicapped with a cane as my uncle is as well he is a Vietnam Vet with one lung due to agent orange. We approach the entrance with an older man with a bandaid on his forehead, now keep in mind we had our tickets and the show was ending in a couple hours and not many in the ix and this was the rudest man you could possibly have as a meet and greater to let you in.. The shack out frt tells us we are to go in this side cause we had dealer passes and this rude person as he seen us struggle getting in could care less and made us walk around the whole building and go in the other entrance, bad enough to have to walk so much we could not enjoy the show we were done by the time we got in the door but his rudeness was totally ridiculous.. How could a company as big as the ix center have such horrible people to greet if he was doing his job he could of been kind!!! Plus he seen the struggle he could of helped or gotten us assistance vs make us walk around the building.. Made for a terrible experience.. Can’t blame the car show just one bad Apple sure spoils the whole bunch hope that man felt good about himself just a rotten person..I should of turned him in .. A Vietnam vet proudly displaying his hat and shirt gasping for air from the walk and entrance as the guy stares us down in disgust and rudely tells us tuff luck!!!! Ain’t getting in !!!! Now the other entrance when we finally arrived those ladies were the very best, kind, compassionate, having loads of fun and laughs, accommodating and helpful I can not say enough!!!! This ladies were the best but one super mean old man had to ruin it for us!!!Too bad!!!

We went there for the trick-or-treat festivities. It was nice to see the IX center open and functioning again! There were plenty of people enjoying themselves, and the children were just running and playing and looking so cute with their costumes, young and old. For some strange reason, my phone was dying, but I took a picture of a family dressed as the simpsons, and they were just adorable! The tickets we purchased covered the majority of the rides except the games, bungee jumping - $7.00 and food, of course. We were surprised that it was Cash Only No Credit Cards? The food pop, candy apples, popcorn, etc. To me, it was so high! Around $6.00 - $18.00! I felt like this was a family function. So, things could have been a little bit more reasonable because the fact of families bringing their children, and a lot of them had more than one! All in all, we had a great time. My grandchildren were happy, and they passed out bags and candy. You got one piece of candy. I guess because there were so many people. By the time we left, the parking lot was running over, and more cars were coming!

IX center has always been a great venue , Next to the cleveland hopkins Airport . The BoatShow was awesome , In the spring and winter they have indoor Amusement Park , Garden shows , Military shows. Bridal Shows . The parking is 10 dollars and entrance varies with the show I guess. Marcs Grocery stores has always discount tickets available for the shows , so Rite Aid Pharmacy , so you want to look for those places. they might have a very good family discount. Active Military has always a discount , make sure you bring your ID. Other than that the place has food , drinks , coffee etc. Prices for that , well is just a little bit over your regular price of course. If I were you and you are out of town , Bring your coolers and put it in your car. Inside is not aloud to bring any food or drinks. #ALLINCLE From there Berea is pretty close , you have some malls in the Area , BEACHWOOD Mall , Nordstrom , Sacks 5th , Mcys etc.
