Top 10 Architectural Buildings in Ohio, United States
If you are looking for an active place to stay with world-class attractions, Ohio’s major cities can satisfy any vacation desire. Each offers its own distinct flavor of fun, from professional sports – Bengals (Cincinnati), Cavaliers (Cleveland) and Indians (Cleveland again) – to museums, outdoor activities and more. One of the most famous is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. If football is your thing, don’t miss the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. For the science-minded, visit the meat eaters at the Carnivore Conservation Center in the Wilds near Cambridge, dedicated to the breeding and scientific study of endangered mid-sized carnivores. Kids will also love Planet Snoopy in Sandusky or the Columbus Zoo’s Zoombezi Bay Waterpark and Jack’s Landing rides.

Absolutely incredible space that used to be a Grand Hotel. The library AND the librarians are top notch, and clearly have a love for the space as well as what's in it! Go and get your library needs as well as some history/museum finds! Give yourself at least an hour to see the building and enjoy!

Reviewed By ClaireBRamsay - Akron, United States
Wow! We attend a small Unitarian Universalist church, so this cathedral boggled our minds! We went for the annual Boar's Head Festival. This was ourfirst time. Took 3 kids, ages 9, 6, 2. It lasted about 90 minutes. There was a lot to watch. Only the 6 year old got antsy, and that was towards the end. The church is "T" shaped; try to sit as close to the intersection as possible, and you'll be able to see everything. The stained glass windows are amazing, although they required a bit of explaining to our UU kids. The "festival" is actually a pageant. The audience participates by singing. The program has all the words to the Christmas songs; we sang about 10. The show includes wonderful costumes on about 75 performers. They range from children to older adults. There were goats and camels, too! We will be attending next year also. Extra hints: get there about an hour early to get good seats, parking is limited also, the festival is free, but donations of any size are encouraged.

Capitol building of Ohio.
Reviewed By Gerry963 - Schroon Lake, United States
We like to visit state capitols in our travels—they are always visitor-friendly and reveal a great deal about a state’s history, economy and culture in a short time. The Ohio Statehouse is no exception. Somewhat understated for a capitol on the outside, it is beautiful and grand on the inside. Our knowledgeable guide, Elaine, brought Ohio and the Statehouse to life in her ~45 minute tour (a crash course in all things Ohio that is well worth the time). It was an enjoyable and informative time. A suggestion to visitors: take careful notes about your path from your vehicle to the start of the tour—or leave a trail of bread crumbs—as the building and connected subterranean parking garage are rather confusing to navigate and not terribly well signed. The friendly Ohioans who work in the capitol know the place is a labyrinth and are approachable and helpful in getting you redirected.

It can be a little tricky to find from street level as the signage isn't all that visible. But as you enter the Carew Tower building, you will encounter a building security/information representative at the front desk. The gentleman we encounter was pleasant and informative...he directed us to the appropriate elevators that takes you up the tower. You will need to be fit enough to climb about 4 flights of stairs as the elevator will take you up to the 45 floor and you'll need to climb the remaining 4 floors of stairs to get to the observation deck of tower. Once at the 49 floor, you will encounter a nice little lady that will collect the $6 fee and then you'll step out to the observation deck to take in some fabulous views of Downtown Cincinnati and beyond!
10. Frank Lloyd Wright's Westcott House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 251 reviews
The Westcott House was built in 1908 for Burton J. And Orpha L. Westcott. The Westcott property is the only Prairie style house designed by Wright in the state of Ohio. The grounds include the main house and a garage with pony stable connected by an extensive pergola. In 1946, due to the housing crisis following World War II, the house was divided into multiple apartments. The house no longer reflected the vision of its architect. The original furniture and most of the original light fixtures and other details were removed from the house. Lack of resources led to an extreme deterioration of the structure. The house has recently undergone a multi-million restoration. Each of its features - from art glass to original hardware and hand-decorated encaustic walls to massive urns - has been returned to its 1908 appearance. Furniture has been rebuilt according to Wright's specifications and gardens re-landscaped in keeping with the time. The house is now managed by a non-profit organization.
