The USS Cod submarine memorial is close to the RnR HoF. That’s pretty cool and family friendly.

I would recommend both these as well (USS Cod and Goodtime river cruise)
And yes the river caught fire, it was a long time ago and it’s not like that anymore. The CLE art museum is very nice as well. I’m not sure if I’d bother with the Christmas story house. I think you would be underwhelmed and the area that it’s in isn’t real nice. Little Italy is nice in the day time West side market is pretty cool Lake view cemetery is really nice as well |

Bear in mind that the Art museum is a full day in itself. It's huge and is I think rated the #2 art museum in the country. A 7 yr old might not appreciate it, but the natural history museum is next door and is very kid friendly as is the great lakes science center next to the hof.

The arms and armor section at the art musem appeals to kids of all ages. Some of the other relics should still be interesting to kids, depending on what they like. |

If you go to the Christmas story house, the Rowley Inn is right around the corner. I hear the food there is incredible.

The Cleveland Aquarium might be fun, I was only there once years ago. Same for the zoo. Neither stands as being all that memorable.

CMA is one of the best art museums in the US if not the world and admission is free. Parking is not free though. |

The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad might be fun for young kids. You can ride the train both ways, or just one way and ride a bike or kayak, the other direction. Get off at any stop.
There might be bike and/or kayak rentals, we always have our own so I’m not sure about that. https://www.cvsr.org/ |

The science center next to the rock hall has a 60ft 11k watt movie screen.
The art museum and natural history require a side trip to get there. I once took kids about that age there for their first big dino skeletons and planetarium show. They liked the gift shop the most lol. While not kid stuff, you will be driving past Camp Perry https://thecmp.org |

What foods do you like? Good restaurants in Little Italy but parking can be a challenge if you don't know the area.
Where will you be staying? When relying on GPS, Google Maps, etc when going across town (eg somewhere on the west side to Shaker Heights), DO NOT take routes that include Woodland, Buckeye, Central, Quincy, Buckeye. Opportunity Corridor is fine but go all the way to Carnegie, don't get off at Woodland. |

Cleveland Museum of Art is fantastic, and the main collection is free. Like someone else said, the parking garage isn't free
 Some of the interior scenes at SHIELD headquarters in Captain America Winter Soldier were filmed in the atrium there. You won't see the big statue though

The kids can be picky but Little Italy sounds like a winner. |

The Cleveland Museum of Art is the most underrated attraction in Cleveland, IMHO.

Terminal Tower observation deck is another cool thing to do. Very cool old art deco skyscraper.

Agreed that the aquarium is underwhelming and too expensive for what it is. The natural history museum Is usually amazing but a waste of time right now due to a large portion of it being closed for construction.
The art and science museums are great. Same with the uss cod and zoo. There are tons of great restaurants where already stated. East 4th and west 6th are popular spots, not sure how kid friendly west 6th is though. Just be mindful of the homeless. A lot of them downtown and around tower city. |
