With its growing number of attractions, Cleveland has, not surprisingly, been voted the second best city for recreation by Places Rated Almanac. And, Partners for Livable Communities, a Washington D.C.-based, nonprofit organization committed to improving community well-being, voted Cleveland as one of four best cities to live in America.

Befittingly named "The New American City," Cleveland is home to several must-see places for music enthusiasts, science buffs, sports fanatics and thrill-ride seekers. In addition to the nearly seven-year-old, Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Cleveland is home to the Great Lakes Science Center; University Circle cultural, medical and educational district; Gund Arena; Cleveland Browns Stadium; Jacobs Field; and Six Flags Worlds of Adventure theme park. Due to its proximity, Cedar Point amusement park/resort is also included on Cleveland visitors’ "Top 10" list.

Although its many high-profile attractions are a must-see for the city’s numerous visitors, so is the eye-appealing and functional signage that meshes with Cleveland’s tourist-spot environments.

All the images featured here are a sampling of the colorful and whimsical sign components that distinguish the new Six Flags Worlds of Adventure thrill-ride, water and sealife park.
