Cleveland may not be New York City, but it does boast some pretty great tourist attractions. One of them is an observation deck you can reach via an elevator ride for a fantastic view of Downtown Cleveland. The Terminal Tower Observation Deck is something of a hidden gem but absolutely worth checking out the next time you’re in the area. Just be sure to check the website first, as it’s only open seasonally. Here’s more on how you can enjoy the Empire State Building of Cleveland.

Rising 771 feet above Public Square in Downtown Cleveland, the Terminal Tower is one of the most recognizable buildings in Cleveland's skyline.
