This is one of the most beautiful places to see live music. It is tucked back in the woods and trees surround the whole place. Which would be good enough to earn it a five star rating even if it didn’t have amazing food (great vegetarian options to boot), and phenomenal drinks (whether you like beer, wine, or something else you’ll be smitten). I would absolutely recommend coming here!!

Blossom is a jewel in the crown of Northeast Ohio! While I did not regularly start going to Blossom until I was in my 30s, over the past few summers I have gone a good number of times. Some outings are for rock concerts while others are for The Cleveland Orchestra. As such, I have seemed to notice there are kind of 2 sets of rules, of which I completely understand.If you are going to a rock concert you are treated like an animal. Bags are searched, not allowed to bring this or that in. I get it. Comes with the crowds and the drinking in the parking lot before hand.If you are going during a Cleveland Orchestra event you can bring in wine, coolers of food, chairs, and nobody scrutinizes you.Basically, it is always good to go on their web page to see what you can or can not bring during any given performance you are thinking about attending.The staff seem generally nice, helpful, and do a great job of keeping the grounds clean and beautiful.Blossom is a special and unique outdoor music venue that should be appreciated for being in our backyard.

To those of us who live in this Beautiful Fine-Arts area Blossom Music Center has always represented the best of the Great cultural contributions from the Akron, Cleveland, and Kent triangle (including Cuyahoga Falls, of course).. Spring, Summer, and Autumn evening concerts at Blossom have been a way of life for so many Families, Couples, Friends, and Neighbors, for All These Years, that everyone has a drawer full of Ticket-stubs and Memories to share.. Blossom Music Center is a Beautiful Concert Venue, whether you choose to sit out on the Open Lawn, or inside the gorgeous wooden - beamed, Clamshell Pavillion.. Because of its superb design taking full advantage of the Unique location, the sound quality is Superb, while the scenery is some of the most Beautiful in the country... Lary

Beautiful venue for music! Can be very muddy in the lawn area. Food and alcohol are more expensive here than anyplace Ive ever been. Some draft beers are $17!!!You can take food in a big baggie, which is nice.

Great place to see a concert. Sure want to get the early if you want to be first in line to get in the gate, this really applies to those with lawn seats. Sound is amazing because of the shape of the hillside. Also in case any of you go, you can take sealed containers of food, place it in a clear gallon bag, one per person to help save on food costs. Plus a bottle of water per person.

Im sure, arent you? that Blossom Music Center has made good use of the time theyve been closed to clean everything very well. To put up adequate parking lot and pathway lighting. To carve additional entry/exit roads out of the surrounding land. Right? If not, theyve wasted a perfect opportunity to solve the main complaint of attending events at their facility. We can count on them to work on ridiculous food and drink prices during the next pandemic.

Cleveland Orchestra played the soundtrack to the Harry Potter movie while we watched it on big screen. They were phenomenal!!! Brought my two kids 11,13 yrs old. Met up with bunch of friends. Spread out blankets and beach chairs (could have rented beach chairs for $5). Brought snacks! Started at 7:30. Ended by 10:30. Had intermission to use bathroom. Great experience all around!! Looking forward to the Batman and Star Wars movie at the end of August with Cleveland Orchestra playing the soundtrack.!

Ahh, Blossom. One of my favorite venues for live music in the summer. The lawn is great, but the pavilion is absolutely stunning. The woodwork is just gorgeous and the sound is great. Plenty of restrooms and concession stands. Only downside is the drinks are a little more pricey than other venues, but I wouldn’t let that discourage anyone from going to see a show here. I’d love to visit Blossom every summer!

Brad Paisley , Chris Lane , riley green put on a amazing show !!!

I absolutely loved my experience. I was there for the Ride All Night concert of Jason Aldean and Kane Brown. the audience was really great because you could basically sit anywhere on the field that you liked and you would be able to band perfectly. The performance was great. The weather was nice, and the parking wasnt hard to drive out from. I would definitely recommend going to this place.

Although I havent been to Blossom Music Center in years, I have always had fond memories.

The Heart, Joan Jett and Elle King Concert was awsome.

Nice outdoor music Lawn seating was $25, $16 if you bought season tickets.Limited bathrooms and vendors.A very long walk from the free parking to the venue, however traffic leaving was not a problem.

The only way to describe Blossom is magical. As a little girl, my family always went and Im so happy to now be able to share the experience with my own children. Nothing compares to listening to the amazing Cleveland orchestra while sitting on the lawn, under the stars, and having a picnic with your family. If youve never been to Blossom to hear the orchestra, you are missing out on one of NE Ohios treasures.

Great out door venue! Definitely pay the extra for parking and leave early! Can either sit on lawn for a great dance party with over 20,000 people or can pay a little extra for a closer view and a covered seat. Either way, you will have a great time! Bring water on hot days, or buy beer for $10

First time here. Great experience I loved it I recommend pavilion seating over the lawn seating.There are no seat on the lawn its is just the grass. The pavilion seating is best just in case bad weather comes you will be protected from the climates and can see who you came to see beside the tvs

Blossom is amazing. Lots of space, parking and food options (Disney prices folks... Bring you savings). You can hear the concerts from every where, so unless you want to be right up front, theres really never a bad seat.Do note, once in thats it... No outs and ins.

The best outdoor concert venue in Ohio! The design of the venue lends to its great acoustic properties. There are plenty of bathrooms and kiosks with food, refreshments and alcohol! The beers can be expensive, but they are large cans! Security is deep at this facility, there were no less than 8 deputies within sight at any time during the event! You will be safe here!

We always love Blossom! Have been many many times and always enjoy our time! Luke and Cole were awesome! Just make sure ya bring enough cash and visit the bathrooms earlier than you think you will need to! Will be back next year!

I was there to see the Cleveland Orchestra and The Little Mermaid Live in Concert. It was truly an amazing experience. We were seated in the pavilion and had an excellent view from our seats. The staff was very nice and the venue was lovely. Definitely will be visiting again.

Love going to Blossom!!! For any concert!! No bad seat in the place. Lawn is my favorite place to sit. Much more of a relaxed environment.

Good time. Improved sound system and lighting. Great weather.

Bring your fitbit and your smoking jacket, its time to visit Blossom!Do you long for the good old days of listening to live music while smoking pot in an open field? Is a mile walk from the parking lot your idea of a casual stroll? Do you consider $14 for a beer a reasonable price? Well...Welcome to Blossom!Seriously though, please ask Bill Nye and Mister Wizard the mathematical formula for dancing comfortably on an incline plane. I would love to know!

This is a beautiful venue located on two hundred acres of rolling hills surrounded by the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. This is the summer home of the worlds finest orchestra THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA as well as to concerts that range from international tours of the hip-hop, rock, pop and country genre. The staff and administration are extremely competent and considerate of visitors of every age and circumstance. Consumer safety and cleanliness are paramount. There are beautiful gardens and picnic areas as well as restaurants, a gallery and gift shop. The acoustics and terrific and each outing is sure to be one that is memorable for people every age. Families with young children and teens are welcomed on orchestra nights - a tradition that is sure to be passed down through the generations.

Had a really excellent time with my friend AJ, Blossom is beautiful I got a lot of great pictures..

Clean facilities. Well staffed with plenty of helpful and fun hosts. Everything is very expensive but had a great time. Korn and alice in chains best show I have ever been to. The pit is amazing with speakers built into the floor. Every note can be felt. Traffic is always heavy at the end. Plan on packing some waters and just relax for a while till clears out especially if you ride a motorcycle. Motorcycles get VIP treatment and you will be waived in to park on asphalt.

Affordable tickets. Plenty of bathrooms and stalls to accommodate the large crowds of people that attend concerts here. Only complaint is the price of beer! $13-17 for one tall boy can.Be sure to take advantage of their food and water policy: each guest is allowed to bring in one clear gallon sized bag of food, think chips, pretzels, popcorn, anything you can fit; and one factory sealed 20 oz bottle of water. Sit back and enjoy the show!

Great concert! Jason Bonham opened for 50 minutes playing great Zeppelin tunes then Frampton played for nearly 2 and a half hours! Just awesome!

I think blossom is the best place to watch the cleveland orchestra in the summer. You can pack your own food and beverages (including alcohol), bring your own blankets and chairs, and you never feel like its too crowded. Also, kids 18 and under are free you there purchase of an adult lawn ticket.

The Barenaked Ladies and Hootie and the Blowfish both put on a great show. The venue has been great everyone we have attended. It did take over an hour to get out of lot 2 though.

Beautiful setting and nice facilities, however its very large and viewing from the lawn, you cant see much. Also, they allow smoking on the lawn which is very surprising these days. Going to a show with a lot of fans that smoke means youll be inhaling secondhand smoke all night. They really need to address that.

Beautiful outdoor concert venue situated in the middle of a national forest. Even though there were well over 12k people at the weezer show I attended, it still felt small and intimate. Tailgating in the parking lot was no problem. Staff friendly and helpful. Well worth the 3hr drive from Detroit. I highly recommend the pit right in front of the stage...awesome view!

There needs to be a better way to get to the pavilion, it’s a very long walk there and back, but Blossom is a very good place to go I saw Imagine dragons there, we need more parking space and more in and outs

The most beautiful and incredible place Ive ever been to see a concert!

The music venue itself is amazing. Great sound and atmosphere. Parking though is a complete disaster. Getting in, the normal. Getting out, good luck. They need a better system getting people out, or a system at all for that matter. Its a complete free for all. The venue needs to employ people who know how to properly direct traffic to get customers out more smoothly.

Cleveland Orchestra concerts at Blossom are always an enjoyable experience for music fans of all ages. The lawn is a good experience for casual fans, while the pavilion seating is great for those who truly want to experience the music without distractions.Especially fun for families are the movie soundtrack events, such as the Empire Strikes Back performance this weekend. Opportunities abound for photo opportunities, and they are a great event for just people-watching.A tip: Go extra early and youre likely to be able to park in a paved lot. Exiting from the paved lots is much more efficient than the grass lots. The gates open 2 1/2 hours before the show.

A very nice outdoor venue. We had a picnic dinner before the show at a picnic table near the parking lot. We saw a movie concert under the pavilion. The sound and picture quality were great. The Cleveland Orchestra was spectacular. We will attend future events here for sure.

Its beautiful, I love being outside. Grounds are kept very nice. Its pretty pricey, if your going to eat,drink you need to plan ahead. Commute from parking is never a fast pace experience so plan ahead. If you ride a motorcycle , you are able to park up front by the entrance gates.....awesome huh

It was a hit and miss... My experience couldve been better but wasnt the worse. Wouldve liked to see better transportation access to the stages from the gates. Long long walk.

Blossom is a spectacular summer concert venue in Northeast Ohio. Ive been twice now to see The Cleveland Orchestra, for whom the amphitheater was built for. Most importantly the sound is spectacular. The area is isolated and the orchestra shines in the beautiful cedar wood pavilion. The staff was massive but coordinated and very accommodating. Its a bit far but worth an enchanting evening.. RECOMMENDED- Szalays corn farm for pre concert dining.

Blossom has always been a great venue! Loved seeing Smasging Pumpkins there!

Good show unfortunately weather cause it to end early otherwise it would have been five star. Had tickets in the pit$110. I would highly recommend driving up there and buying tickets versus ordering online. You can buy the tickets at 4 on show day or one any other day.

Always a great place to see a show! Sound quality is great in the pavilion and the acts that go there are pretty great. Definitely worth going to!

Wiz Khalifa, Moneybags Yo, French Montana 7-30-19

Is always an amazing time! They have all the types of drinks and food that you can ask for. Price is reasonable compared to other places like this. Family or friends always get to make memories! My daughter had her first concert this year, for her FAVORITE country singer, Kenny Chesney, and had an absolute blast!!

I have been to several outdoor venues but this one was my least favorite. You have to walk nearly a mile once you park. There was only one entrance and exit so traffic was a mess. The band we saw was great but we couldn’t see them. We got their early to try to get a good seat on the grass but the big pavilion made it nearly impossible unless you were right in the middle or down front. I don’t know that I’d ever go see a show there again. One positive surprise though was that there was no additional charge for parking.

Visited this venue recently to see The Who.Takes a while walk to venue itself, but the setting is beautiful all around.Was fortunate to sit in box seats under roof.Great acoustics, Fantastic time! A wonderful place! I’ll be back

Probably one of the best outdoor amphitheaters in the country. we love it to see any live act from Jason Aldean to Dave Matthews band to Incubus but its also great on Cleveland orchestra nights you can bring your own cooler and food and liquor with you.

Rockin good time out in the woods!

ALWAYS fun and all the different people

Nice outside venue. Well maintained and clean. Beautiful landscape. Be prepared for a bit of a walk when parking and a line when entering.

Watched the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra play to the movie Star Wars, Episode 4, A New Hope. They had fireworks after the performance. The Orchestra of course, is one of the best in the world, and Blossom Music Center is their summer home. Smuckers was one of their sponsors. The setting is fantastic and kids under 18 are free. Great family night. We carried in food, beverage, and wine, and they have food and alcohol vendors on site. A lot of people attended and it took a while to get out due to the traffic. The fireworks lasted a long time and had an excellent variety.

This place is cool. Ive been coming here since I was a teenager. Only ever had one bad time here... I wont go into it. But overall, this place is awesome!

Great indoor-outdoor venue for memorable performances

Midland was cancelled due to Covid. I can’t get anyone to answer my email back on how to get my money back or tickets to replace the ones they cancelled.. a Please help, I’m 240. 00 dollars

Yo Yo Man to Alice In Chains @ This Awesome Outdoor Venue, they let you bring Water & Food very nice!

Awesome place for concerts! Tons of parking, bathrooms, and seating. Great acoustics too.

Love this place so much! Reminds me of a small Woodstock!

Great acoustic, beautiful pavilion. Great natural grass bowl to sit out on watch any concert outdoors

Let me start by saying, whoever runs sound knows what theyre doing. Music is very clear, even seated in the lawn or walking around the food/drink stands.Getting in is easy. Getting out is tremendously difficult. Its a complete free-for-all when youre parked in the grass lots.Restroom facilities are relatively clean for such a large venue.There are plenty of food/drink options to choose from, but the prices are BEYOND exorbitant at most of the stalls. Its very hard to justify buying a tiny $8.50 funnel cake or a roughly 12oz draft in a plastic cup for $17 (these are just some examples).To sum it up, its a pleasant music experience but with recommendations: eat/drink before arriving or as youre parked, and plan either to leave well before the concert ends, or well after it ends. Otherwise youll probably have a rough time.PS. This is a rock concert experience. I cant speak yet on the difference between this and an orchestral experience.

Absolutely love coming here in the summer to see the Cleveland Orchestra. They truly are fantastic! Relaxing, peaceful and family oriented. A nice escape.Also enjoy the summer concerts... Mostly younger crowd - A bit rowdy but still fun if youre able to tolerate the change in atmosphere.

It was a great venue for the concert (Imagine Dragons). Parking=continued chaos. Parking attendants do a good job but its crazy. We were almost a mile from our seats- so be prepared to walk.

Great venue! The food and drink choices are amazing. There are so many there was never a wait!!! The only reason I didnt give 5 stars was the two mile (!) walk from our parking spot to the venue. While I got my steps on for the day it was hot and hard in sandals. And the walk after the concert was rough. The traffic was bad and police didnt really pedestrians cross the street.

We always have a great time at Blossom no matter what band we see. From front row tickets to the back of the lawn its always fun. The only negatives are the excessively high drink prices & traffic challenges when exiting post show from the grass lots but both are manageable with some pre planning. Pre show tailgating is a blast.

First, the positives:1) The venue is in one of the most beautiful and unique settings in the country. If memory serves me correctly. It is the only large concert venue inside of a National Park.2) The lawn seat option makes ticket prices, at least, somewhat affordable. Depending on the artist, a lawn seat ticket may be around $20 - 35.3) They upgraded the sound system for the lawn seats around 2014. The music used to sound like it was being played through speakers that were bought at a K Mart. Now, the music and vocals are crystal clear.Now the negatives:1) The downside of Blossom being in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park is that there are only 2 entrances/exits. Unless you arrive or leave really early, expect to sit in traffic for 30 - 60 minutes.2) You do have a free parking option, but you literally have to walk a mile to get to the gate. You can buy a parking pass for $20, which I think is crazy.3) People tend to tailgate before a concert, which involves drinking a decent amount of either pop or beer. There are no bathrooms at the parking lots. They do have 3 portable toilets near the gate. The wait is usually incredibly long and the toilets are gross, especially for women.4) I understand the need for increased security. They started using metal detecting wands this year. However, I hope they use the off season to address how to do it more efficiently next year. It now takes 10 - 20 minutes to get through the lines.5) The bathroom situation isnt much better once you get inside. There are only 3 bathrooms with 10-12 stalls. When 20,000 people are attending a concert, that is woefully inadequate. Quicken Loans Arena seats roughly the same amount of people. They have 6 similarly sized bathrooms... just in the Upper Level!All in all Blossom Music Center is good place to see a concert. If they would at least add more bathroom access, because its a public health issue, then Id bump my rating up to 5 stars.

One of my all time favorite music venues I have not been here for years so the trip last night was a real treat. Went and saw the band Weezer, The acoustics were great. My one gripe with this place is the parking, it Takes over an hour to get out the parking Lot without a parking pass I will definitely be getting a parking fast next time

Amphitheaters arent really my thing, but Blossom is beautiful.Suggest getting in early for whatever portion of the show you want to see.Parking is free, but its a decent hike to the venue. Also, plan on waiting in line to leave for a while (the venue seats around 20,000) unless you leave early. They let you bring your own snacks and an unopened bottle of water (check out their website for current rules)

There really isnt a bad seat in the place. Lawn is great, much louder down in the seating area. Good food, fun drinks, lovely views.

Great venue. Other than traffic always have a great time.

We have been to multiple concerts here and its always great. I love the monitors they have so people in the far back can see everything going on on the stage.

Blossom is a gorgeous venue for a concert. P walk to the Amphitheatre however is quite long depending upon what time you arrive at the Music Center. I recommend 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours early for arrival. The drink prices are astronomical. Plan on spending a minimum $15 for a beer or $19 for an alcoholic mixed drink. What cost $1 outside of the center will cost $5 at the venue.

Best summer concert venue for the last 40+ years. Also the summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra. Put this on your bucket list. You wont be disappointed.

I love going here for concerts, it is a great venue!

Ive been here a few times and always seem to have a positive experience. Good music quality and the angle of the venue makes it to where you can pretty much see the live event from anywhere. My only complaint is the cost of water is so high. I understand food and other beverages but water should not be such a high price as its a necessity and you cant bring it in from outside the venue.

I like to sit in pavilion, and its my favorite venue for live music in the summer.

Blossom Music Center is an amphitheatre located in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The pavilion seats 6,051 people, with space for about 15,000-17,000 more on the general admission lawn. I suggest buying a parking pass so that you can exit the grounds in less than an hour as it can take up to two hours otherwise. The venue is also host to a full summer schedule of popular music acts and symphonic performances. Some seats in the pavilion are a little too far right. The speakers blocked the stage.

Amazing music center. Best exotic performances took place here. Very well organized.

The venue is well laid out so that lines are quick and everyone can enjoy the event. Once we got to the car we never stopped moving. They directed traffic wonderfully.I will be attending more events at this venue.

I always love concerts at Blossom Music Center. The sound system is the best here. Especially if you are sitting under the pavilion. The grounds are lovely here and well maintained. There’s picnic tables around the entrances to enjoy your own food and drinks before the shows. I always make sure I get premier parking and the fast pass from Live Nation for quick entering and exiting. The venue is close to hotels for a convenientovernight stay. I will always attend concerts here. Even though it is a two hour drive from my home, it’s so worth the trip.

Easy to navigate, trams to help you get from and to parking, great layout of performance space. LOTS of restrooms.

One of the best venues to see a concert. Lawn seats are my favorite seats. Sound system is great and the video screens make sure you can see the performers no matter where you sit. My only gripe is that the drink prices are the highest of any venue Ive been to. Despite that, they have a large selection of mixed drinks, wine, and beer.

What an experience, and what a gorgeous venue!! Lawn seats were packed, but the crowd was killer to be a part of. Definitely a place to go to see your favorite band!!

Highly recommended for seeing popular concerts and music related events. Very popular during the summer time. Im looking forward to the next concert that is going on there.

A most amazing evening! With THE most amazing woman. If you seek a romantic evening: the Cleveland Orchestra from the Lawn at Blossom is a sure winner! Get there early with wine and cheese for a perfect night! I am blessed. I am thankful!

Great venue for concerts. Saw Jimmy Buffett and it was fantastic. Leaving was a bit more difficult. Parked in the public grass lots. Took 45 min to get out of my spot. Once the traffic started moving though it was smooth sailing.

Jason Aldean Kane Brown Concert was great! Parking and leaving were well planned and we were on the road back home way sooner than we expected. Of course the alcohol is insanely priced but everything else made for a great time!

The facilities are nice, well maintained. The beer and drinks are very expensive. $16 for a tall Mikes hard lemonade. Common thing I guess. There is a decent food selection with various food trucks in addition to the usual food choices. Parking and getting in and out of the parking lot can be a nightmare. Lengthy delays if you are running late. So go early!! Just saw the Who there, great show!

I really enjoyed this outdoor venue. They had free parking its a long walk if you do the free parking though. If you do the paid parking its a much shorter walk. But if you dont mind a little bit of a walk thats not bad. Also you can tailgate there.

Great venue. Nice sloped hillside or covered pavilion.

The drinks are extremely overpriced. The parking is terrible. When you are ready to leave at some nightmare to get out. If your car needs add jump youre better off asking another Person attending the show than a staff member. And make sure you get there early to get a good spot.

Eat your wheaties and put on your walking shoes regardless of where you park! Its quite a distance and up and down hills for everything....all in all great experience though! Great 30 seconds to mars concert!

Blossom center is huge. A ton of parking available so be prepared to walk unless Priority parking is purchased-highly suggested especially if bringing small children. Clean facilities with plenty of bathrooms. Blossom staff are helpful and friendly. Outdoor venue setting is beautiful.

The summer concert venue!

Love this venue! Saw the floRida, TLC, and Nelly concert. Their isnt a bad seat here. We love the lawn. Everyone is always so friendly . I will returnn!

Blossom is Blossom. Not like it was back in the day but still a decent venue. Priced a little better than some contemporary places as far as refreshments and merch, etc. All their staff were very friendly and helpful. Had a handful of them go out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our visit and a friend of mine dropped her license and they were very helpful in making sure we got it back.Alice in Chains put on the best show Ive ever seen albeit a little shorter than we were hoping it would have been.Overall, a terrific night under the pavilion!

Ive been enjoying Blossom since 1977, Steve Miller Band. Since that time Ive seen hundreds of concerts there and have never been dissappointed! Im an older rocker these days and thus am able to use the Golf Cart feature to lesson the walk. I cant say enough about this courtesy. From the amazing staff, and in particular one staff member named Patrick from Worcester England! Patrick was so helpful and kind to this old bandana wearing rocker lady and I am exceedingly grateful for his kindness and humor! YOU ARE GOING PLACES PATRICK!

Its a cool venue but they have some poorly enforced rules and made me carry 3 lawn chairs back to the car when they let in 5 other groups with the exact same chairs that I had. Just to have a beer there is $14 minimum which is awefuly expensive, but they do have some awesome choices.

Saw Steely Dan here! Such a great venue and I loved the atmosphere. My first time ever being there too!

Great sound! Always a great place to catch a show. Dont come thirsty, unless you got plenty of $

Went to see Korn and Alice in Chains. Hadnt been there in ages! Probably a good 20 years. Didnt realize you had to park and walk from so far away to get into the place. My husband was recovering from having a stroke. Was walking fine, but not for extremely long distances, and he couldnt make it in. Was a little disappointed when we looked online and saw they were supposed to have a shuttle service to the gate. The medics were absolutely no help. Not even to the drunk guy who fell over and couldnt get up way before we got to the gate. Dont think we will be headed back unfortunately.
