The University Circle Tour meets in Wade Oval at the picnic tables across from the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Please arrive 15 minutes early as the tour starts promptly.

About the Tour: University Circle emerged in the late 1880s when Western Reserve College and the Case Institute of Technology moved to the Circle. Its history is even more fascinating as a residential neighborhood, a transit hub, and a concentration of great public spaces. Today, University Circle is Cleveland’s largest concentration of economic, culture, education, and medical facilities and was recently named the Nation’s top cultural district.

RESERVATIONS are requested but not required, walk-ups the day of tour are welcomed.
