Tony Salem2 months agoLove going here. My father and I have been attending the piston power show for as long as I can remember. I can even remember when we were able tp take my grandfather there one time that he was able. That was 20ish years ago. The place is still just as nice. You get a great walk in while there depending on event g are hosting. 2 weeks ago my wife and I attended a dance competition for our God daughter there. They also had a vintage fest going on at the same time. I could not attend this show because I did not want to miss our lil ladies performances. And it was so busy to. Im rambling lol but my point is it sucks that this is the last year for anything there. Don't know what their plans are with the massive building. But so many memories there with my father I will never forget.
Kieran3 months agoGreat day at the Cleveland Auto Show! Easy parking 🅿️, entrance and mobility around every stand! Plenty food choices! Lots of assistance if we had questions. Highly Recommend!!
Eva B7 months agoHuge exposition center on one floor right next to the international airport. I went there for a cat show, and the floor was clean. There were a lot of food trucks and shops to buy stuff, and it was useful. The place is cozy and fun.
bobby krepps3 months agoEnjoy taking the kids to see all the new cars, enjoy the jeep experience, love being able to drive all the new cars. Love the free parking.
Brian Diblea year agoFirst time ever to the IX Center. Came up for the Great Big Home and Garden Show. Was able to score some free tickets. Wasn't my cup of tea, was hoping for more models and landscaping instead of contractors, but it was a new experience. The IX Center itself is massive. Parking was $12, which I thought was fair.
