Rock and Roll Hall of Fame RV and Travel Guide (2024)

Visit Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

The best time to visit the Rock Hall is in the summer when all the museum's main exhibits are available for viewing. Some of the top exhibits to see include the Hall of Fame Jukeboxes, and Legends of Rock and In Memoriam. Visitors can also come during the annual American Music Masters series, which is a weeklong exhibition that spotlights one contemporary artist, and artists featured in the past included Aretha Franklin, Buddy Holly and Johnny Cash.

Ticket Information

General admission tickets to the RRHOF are priced at $35 for adults and $25 for youth ages six to 12 while children under 5 may enter without a ticket. Tickets must be reserved in advance to enter Rock Hall, and all tickets must be purchased online.

Ticket discounts are available for service members, students and some Ohio residents. Military members, including veterans, and service members, such as police officers and first responders, may obtain tickets for $30. Active college students and northeast Ohio residents who live in zip code zones 440 to 443 can also receive $30 tickets. Additionally, Cleveland residents can always enter the Rock Hall for free.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame also offers membership ticket options. Membership levels vary from a $65 option to a $500 option, and all include unlimited free admission for one year, a member-exclusive T-shirt, Rock Hall store discounts and access to event ticket pre-sales.

Family-Friendly Options

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame offers free lesson plans and education videos designed for teachers and parents to use with children, and these can be found on Rock Hall's official website. Large groups with children can also request to participate in an on-site educational program ahead of their visit through the website.

Most exhibits at the Rock Hall are family-friendly, although some may be labeled for mature audiences only. If you are visiting the museum with children, consider skipping these few areas for the best experience.

How to Make the Most of Your Visit

If you plan to visit the Rock Hall on a weekend, consider starting your tour on level two of the museum and working up to avoid any large crowds. After that, you can head back down to level zero, the basem*nt floor, to see the major exhibits last.

On days when there aren't too many crowds, you can follow the arrows and signs in the Rock Hall for the best experience. These arrows will take you from level one, where the entrance is, to the basem*nt floor, and then to levels three, four, five, six and two before you end your tour on level one in the gift shop area. If you can, plan to come on a day when a concert is held at the museum, so you may also take photos and make once-in-a-lifetime memories at the live performance.
