Thanks to the Rockefellers and Hannas who poured money into this cultural area of Cleveland a long time ago, University Circle has always been a vibrant place with museums and prestigious universities and medical facilities such as the large University Hospital system. On this my last visit, it has also become more user-friendly with pedestrian crosswalks and a safer atmosphere... More

WOW! Wade Oval Wednesdays are back. If you have not come out before, you must come to see and experience University Circle's weekly party on Wade Oval. We didn't miss a beat last year. They are back for another season of live music, movies under the stars, food, children's activities, and much more. This June, stop by for The Chozen... More

My husband and I spent a weekend in Cleveland and did not realize until we went up to University Circle how accessible and close the museums and concert hall were. Nice park area and can walk from the Cleveland Art Museum to the Botanical Gardens to the Concert Hall to the historical museum easily.

This is where most of Cleveland's culture and life are at. There are countless museums and restaurants to visit while in the circle. You must stop by Little Italy.

My wife and I walked through this area of Cleveland while visiting the Clinic. The Art Museum is very worthy of a visit. Walking through this part of town and Case Western is worth the visit.

the attractions around University Circle are definitely awesome, but navigating the actual circle is an absolute nightmare. Be prepared to get lost more than once.

Given the cold whether you couldn't sit out by the pond or stay out too long but it was pretty. I didn't have time to stop in but the museums & botanical gardens are great options to get out of the cold.
