Think you’ve seen it all in Northeast Ohio? Think again.

From troll doll kingdoms to weeping angel statues β€” and epic adventures like ziplining and giant, ridiculous cocktails β€” here’s your sign to get out and explore the weirdest and wildest things to do around town, rain or shine. πŸ˜πŸ’β€β™€οΈ

We’ve put together the perfect list for anybody looking to step outside the box this summer in and around Cleveland! πŸ•ΊπŸͺ©

πŸ§β€β™€οΈ The Troll Hole Museum – Alliance, OH

Home to over 20,000 troll dolls, this Guinness World Record-holding museum is a technicolor dreamscape of quirky rooms, including a troll cave, a troll bridge, and a 10-foot troll mountain. It’s like stepping into a fairy taleβ€”but with a lot more neon hair.

πŸ˜‡ The Haserot Angel – Lake View Cemetery, Cleveland

This haunting bronze statue appears to weep black tears, earning it the nickname β€œThe Angel of Death Victorious.” It’s one of Cleveland’s most photographed and eeriest landmarks.

πŸͺ‘ The Free Stamp – Willard Park, Cleveland

A giant red rubber stamp that simply says β€œFREE.” It’s a piece of public art that raises eyebrows and sparks curiosity. Get your selfie stick ready! πŸ˜†

πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magick – Cleveland

This museum houses artifacts related to witchcraft, including a demon in a box and various occult items. It’s a fascinating stop for those interested in the mystical and the macabre.

🎨 78th Street Studios – Detroit-Shoreway

Ever wanted to explore a secret creative city inside an old warehouse? That’s 78th Street Studiosβ€”a huge 170,000 sq ft art complex with galleries, studios, and performance spaces. It’s NEO’s biggest art hub but still feels like a hidden gem. Visit during free open hours or join the lively Third Friday art walk for music, drinks, and meeting local artists. Artsy, vibey, and full of surprises.🎁

πŸ” Don’t Be Predictable

NEO isn’t just about the usual attractions. From troll doll museums to weeping angels, there’s a whole world of weird waiting to be explored. Perfect for a rainy day or when you’re in the mood for something offbeat.
