3 Best Landmarks in Cleveland, OH

Breathtakingly beautiful! We attended my daughter’s graduation from medical school here. Everything was perfectly organized for the ceremony. We sat in the balcony for full view. The ride up in the original elevator with working wheel mechanism and brass detail was so cool. Upon arriving in the seating area of the balcony, your eyes are drawn to the art deco ceiling. Incredibly amazing. This structure is undeniably a piece of art itself. The original telephone booths and 1930’s fixtures in the restrooms are in perfect condition. I am so grateful to have experienced Severance Hall’s beauty!

This is a very nice place and we would definitely go back for the Cleveland Orchestra. This time, we got the third row of box seats but next time, try to get tickets early and get the first row in the box seats. People working there were very nice and friendly.

Both the exterior and interior architecture are beautiful and worth the visit. However what is presented inside is what most matters and it includes the glorious concerts of the Cleveland Orchestra.

What a treasure this historic monument is - and the workers/volunteers are so knowledgeable. Once a year they open the tunnels under the monument up for tours, which is cool, but the best part is learning all about the monument, the different sides and sculptures, what they mean, the different statues contained inside the lobby etc. The underground tour is a minimal charge, usually in late April. But the monument itself is FREE every other day. If you live in or visit Cleveland you have to go visit this treasure of a monument - and plan on spending time talking to the volunteers/workers.

Looking better than ever, much better than it looked in the 1970’s! Do take the time to visit inside, it’s free, with many nice exhibits and impressive art. So many Presidents depicted. The volunteer hosts are helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Some people say the world is going downhill but at this place, it’s improved, well kept, and staffed with caring volunteers. Thanks to all. Allow 20-30 minutes for a fairly complete visit, but even a few minutes works if you are on a tight schedule.

If you simply walk in and look around and walk out, you will be missing out on a lot of history. The museum is free with several exhibits to see. You could be in and out in 15 minutes. But take a moment to talk to the guides. They can add so much to the background and history of why there is a museum. They can even point out some of the mistakes in the carvings. I thought it was interesting that they left one section for additions, but that small section quickly filled up.
