Itinerary

  • Wade Lagoon is the heart of University Circle, a site of rich history, many special moments, and a unique heritage the dedicated this land "for the benefit of all the people forever."

    10 minutes
  • Severance Hall

    The home of the 'the finest orchestra in America' according to the New York Times is not without its share of crazy stories - from a conductor who dictated mopping patterns to musical ghosts, Severance Hall has been a home to generations of Clevelanders.

  • Cleveland Museum of Art

    Explore some of the lesser known sculptures in our world renowned museum's collection that sit outside its four walls - would you believe us if we told you the stories involved the Vietnam War, pipe bombs, controversial artists, and the mafia? Or take a quick gander inside this free gem in Cleveland.

    5 minutes
  • From your vantage point see everything University Circle has to offer - topical museums, peeling carillons, medical miracles, and world renowned scholars. If you're luck there just might be a marching band in the cards for you too..

    5 minutes
  • A modern-day Stonehenge and two famous architects collide in one location with stories of Nazi-sympathizers, a lack of right angles, and the invention of the modern day MBA.

    5 minutes
  • 100,000 records? Hidden in a basement? Well, just because you cannot touch and feel them you can still listen to them on this student-run public radio station here in Cleveland.

  • Have you ever seen a road made out of wood? Hessler is perhaps the most unique street here - but most people don't come for the road they come for the June Festival that launches the summer season in Cleveland with famous lemonade - and yes it is tasty.

    5 minutes
  • A building shaped like a hexagon? Check. No permanent art? Check. A wild and topsy turvy artistic experience? Check.

    5 minutes
  • We love this little corner of University Circle, and if you're lucky there might be some ice cream in your future here too.

    10 minutes
  • The site of family intrigue, a stop on the Underground Railroad, and now the heart of heart care in Cleveland, this place in University Circle is special to many for different reasons.

    5 minutes
  • Our tour ends in one of the best parts of Cleveland where the pastry shops, art galleries, and thrift stores line the road with bright red, white, and green pennants reminding everyone that the Italians rule here.
