The Flats Adventureland + Activities
Named for the location on the banks of the Cuyahoga River, The Flats has been a nightlife hotspot since the mid-1980s. Connecting grit with sophistication, the once industrial area is now this vibrant neighborhood, about a mile from Kimpton Schofield Hotel. Its home to a variety of dining, entertainment and outdoor offerings. The East Bank, with its lengthy riverfront boardwalk, is lined with bars, breweries and restaurants, perfect for enjoying a pint on a patio or working in a game of mini-golf. The West Bank isn’t without its own charms. From the aquarium to Jacob’s Pavilion, the massive concert venue, you’ve essentially got all the ingredients for a good time down by the river.
