Things to do in Ohio, United States: The Best Government Buildings

April 18, 2022 Franklyn Hardiman

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.

Supreme Court of Ohio

This historic 1930s building has been home to the Supreme Court of Ohio since reopening in 2004 after a meticulous four-year renovation. The doors are open to all and the public is encouraged to visit and admire firsthand the beautiful Art Deco building and its array of murals, bronze sculptures, mosaics, and symbols that adorn the interior.

Anyone can arrange a free tour of the Ohio Supreme Court building thrugh their Civic Education department and my friends and I highly recommend doing so. It is full of amazing art works- murals, mosaics, sculptures, carvings and even a Chihuly! Our guide Mason was very knowledgeable and friendly. He told us stories about the building and explained how the court works in addition to pointing our amazing details in the ceilings, hallways and library.

Eastlake City Hall

Reviewed By wheels200 - Eastlake, United States

If in the area, the doors are open to the public to walk through to view pictures of the history of Eastlake and/or conduct business. You can also view old City Hall relocated across the street. In the summer you can enjoy concerts, car shows, and the 500 flags containing names of servicemen who have fought for our country. In the area behind City Hall is a piece of the twin towers on display.

Guernsey County Courthouse

Reviewed By 49billw - Adamsville, United States

The court house building comes alive with lights and music. I think it repeats every half hour and it is FREE. Then walk down Wheeling Ave and take in the Dickens characters and displays. Good places to eat while you are there. Charter buses bring groups here and no disappointments. Pick up some pastries at Kennedy’s downtown, YUM.
