Built in 1884 and named after Jeptha H. Wade, one of the founding members of Western Union Telegraph, Wade Hall is one of the oldest zoo buildings in North America. Originally located in Wade Park, the first home of the Cleveland Zoo, it was later relocated to its present location. A wooden deck surrounds the building providing a scenic view of Waterfowl Lake

Want to spend a peaceful afternoon in the park? Wade Park and Lagoon is located in front of the Cleveland Museum of Art in University Circle. This beautiful piece of land was donated to the city by Jeptha Wade in 1882 with the intention of building an Art Museum. If you ever have an afternoon free and want somewhere to relax this place is perfect. Walk along the lagoon, eat lunch under a tree and then take a stroll through the art museum. It is a wonderful place that is rarely crowded and always free.
