Top 50 things to do and attractions in Akron

This was my second time visiting Stan Hywet, and it honestly gets better each time. No matter how many times you go, you always notice something new—whether it’s a detail in the house or something blooming in the gardens. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, and you can tell they really care about the history of the estate. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and such a peaceful place to walk through. It’s also easy to see why so many people choose it for weddings—it’s truly a stunning backdrop.

We went to the Ohio Mart at Stan Hywet. What an incredible day! For 50 plus years the market has been selling premiere artisan works and this year did not disappoint. Such a beautiful setting for the Market. Plenty of restrooms, food options. Drink options are limited and a little pricey. Parking is off site with plenty of buses running to overflow spots. Loved this place!

My husband and I visited on the self guided tour. The entire estate is impressive. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. So much to see and history to absorb. We were unable to see a small portion of the gardens due to wedding ceremonies taking place, but were not bothered by it. The grounds are beautifully kept. It was nice to go at our own pace. We spent 4-5 hrs exploring and taking SO many pictures.

This is a beautiful mansion. The historic home and grounds are well preserved. I attended my niece’s wedding on a Saturday. It was held outdoors under a tent. I actually attended an indoor wedding there thirty years ago for the bride’s father. It would be a five star if entry into the property was not such an ugly scene. Our bus driver was following specific written, mapped out instructions and was curtly turned away by a Stan Hyatt attendant (who was wrong). We did finally get in, but it was an ugly way to start a joyous celebration. The employees inside were gracious and welcoming. Guests were allowed to tour the first floor. It’s an amazing place.

I enjoyed my first visit ever to Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens during this year’s Ohio Mart which encompassed much of the grounds in their food court and art vendor displays. It was a great opportunity for a self tour of the estate and grounds while enjoying bits of fall and the festival too. Remarkable historical home and gardens - I so appreciated a peek back in history with the fact that 95% of furnishings are original on the estate.

When I was in elementary, my class took a field trip to Stan Hywet Hall. Typically the field trips we did have I wasn’t all that fascinated, but I remember when we arrived, my class was very creeped out by it looking haunted. For once it was a field trip that felt like it was all for me. After that day, I forced my mom to take me again, over and over and over. Little me looked at my mom and said “mommy if a boy ever ends up loving me enough, I’m totally getting married here” about 15 years later, a boy did end up loving me enough. The staff went above and beyond for us. My husband and I are so happy we will always be able to say this was our venue.

What a beautiful place! This reminds me of European castles - this is my first experience seeing anything this lavish in the US. There are discounts for entry for many groups of people and special days with reduced rates. The self guided tour is plenty if you're on a money or time budget. There are a lot of volunteers scattered throughout the manor that have neat information to share. Everything is amazing to see and worth the trip.

A very eye opening experience! Love the neon tube art! The kids enjoyed but found it hard to appreciate. Hahaha! 20 minute buzz around will show you everything. Not ready for the 'All genders' bathroom sign. Good visit overall.

The Akron Art Museum was the perfect wedding venue. My wife and I chose them as our venue in July ‘23, and were married in September of ‘24. Once we chose them as our venue, they gave lists of preferred caterers and recommended vendors in the area, which made our planning process a lot easier. There were some staffing changes because we had a long engagement, but Ellie, Cydney, and Becca were all wonderful to work with as events managers and made the transition in positions extremely smooth for us. Guests LOVED the museum, as the ceremony was in the garden, and then they were able to hang out on the terrace and explore the exhibits during cocktail hour. The lobby was a gorgeous venue for dinner and dancing, and our entrance on the grand staircase was unforgettable. We truly could not have chosen a better venue. Thank you so much to all the events staff at the Art Museum for making our wedding day so wonderful!! (photos by Jessica Lee Photography)

Went on a free day. Had a children’s activity. We loved the gardens

It was great. What a thrilling bunch of exhibits! The Pink Q is super welcoming. Then the Girl w the Glob and the picture with the ice cream cone inferno. The two exhibits with the decorated sitting areas blew mind. Never seen that in an art museum before. And all those dead peacocks that died of old age, like the Baby Boomers.

Great place! Such a beautiful collection of various diverse expressions of art. Looking forward to the Souls of Philanthropy exhibit.

Super art. Super building. Exhibits great. You could easily see even exibits that were not fully open. Very stimulating and fresh art...national and local. Staff was pleasant. No price gouging. Thursday is free. Parking right across the street. Well worth a drive to Akron. Ohio supports the arts and it's citizens. Museum has plenty to see but is not massive. I will go back. Best I have seen in several years.

We went on Thursday because it was free. My husband and I walk with canes. We had to park in the lot across the street BEHIND the art museum and walk 3/4 of the way around it, through construction, to get in. The only part of the exhibit I liked was a room of photography of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. another room has an interesting full size black apple tree, decorated with black and red roses, with about 10 taxidermied white male peacocks perched in it.

I love this zoo! It’s very well laid out with plenty of room for the animals and the visitors. I enjoyed the 50% off Veteran discount. The prices are already reasonable. There were lots of school groups who were learning from the highly qualified zookeepers there. I was especially excited to see a red panda. The lions were also impressive. They had some beautiful primates as well.

The Akron Zoo has come up over the last couple of years. I told the whole family the other day, and we all had fun. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The grounds were very clean and the exhibits were in amazing shape.

It was a good day. Not the biggest zoo, however they did amazing with the room that they have. I wouldn't call it small either. They have a conservation effort for nearly or all the animals that they have. There's also a beautiful place to sit and rest. All the animals look happy and healthy 😊

We came for Boo at the Zoo, and it was such a great experience! The Akron Zoo may not be as large as the Cleveland Zoo, but it absolutely makes up for it in the quality, cleanliness, and organization of the facility. Everything feels well cared for, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The decorations and atmosphere were perfect for Halloween — fun for kids and adults alike. You can really tell they put thought and effort into every detail. Definitely worth the trip!

Absolutely lovely! Took a trip with my daughter on a slightly gray/cloudy weekday, and it was really nice not dealing with crowds of people at each exhibit. The prices are reasonable, staff were all friendly, there's lots of neat animals and exhibits, but it's not too big and overwhelming - especially for young visitors. Planning to go back soon!

The best experience we’ve had with a Boo at the Zoo! An incredible zoo with updated exhibits and habitats, lots of interactive activities for the kids, great dining options, clean & plentiful bathrooms, and easy walk around the zoo and handicap accessible.

Wow, what a really great zoo! Perfect for that family that doesn’t want to spend all day walking just to see exhibits. We went here for the first time today and a had a great time. You won’t be disappointed here. If recommend this zoo to anyone!

Went for the Pink Floyd tribute band's charity concert for the Akron Children's Palliative Care Unit.. Great place. So much history there. Every single person that worked there was BEYOND nice and accommodating. We stopped on the main stairs case for a few pictures on our way out and a sweet lady offered to get one of all of us. She actually got like, 4 of them for me!!! It was super appreciated that she just came up and offered to do it for us!! The ushers were great, even the security at the doors were way nice. Totally can't say a bad thing about the place except maybe that it could have been a little cooler inside.. Bathrooms were very clean. They also have some super old furniture in the hallways that is really neat to see... Definitely would go back for another event. Thank you, Akron Civic Theatre!!!

Wow, this place is gorgeous! It's a great spot for shows. Parking is nearby and simple, it's in a central location, and it's easier to get in and out of than other theaters I've been to. The stars are one of my favorite things about this place!

Just saw Neil Zaza's One Dark Night at the theater. It was my first time there, and I definitely will attend shows there again! great staff as well! so very nice and helpful. A truly beautiful venue! It was like walking back in time 90 years. A wonderfully restored architectural gem!

A beautiful venue for a wonderful concert! They have done an excellent job keeping this historic building in excellent form. The ushers and other employees were all kind and helpful. Will definitely return given the opportunity.

Nice venue with a great sound system and cool decor. The stage can be seen from mostly any seat or section. Venue is a good size. The seats need to be updated to a more durable material. They were imbedded with years of lint so it made them look dirty. Bathrooms were large, clean and had a ton of stalls. Their is a parking garage right across the street. We saw a concert on Sunday and it was free to park in the garage. Quick and easy getting in and out of the venue. Staff was courteous and welcoming.

The theater itself is very cool but needs a little love. It has a ton of character though. The show I seen I was not impressed. Loved the venue.

What a beautiful atmosphere theater! Can't wait to go there again!!

Lock 3 Park in Akron is a fantastic spot for family-friendly events, and our visit for Polymer Palooza highlighted its great potential. The hands-on activities at Polymer Palooza were incredibly fun and engaging for everyone in our family, making learning enjoyable. The only real downside was the excessively loud music, which sometimes wasn't kid-appropriate and made it tough for presenters to be heard and for sensitive kids to enjoy. Despite the music issue, the park's atmosphere and the quality of the event's activities made for a memorable experience. We'd definitely recommend Lock 3 for its welcoming environment and potential for excellent family fun.

Cool!! Very creative use of existing buildings and infrastructure while integrating native plantings etc. It's genuinely scenic & interesting. Great ideas, brilliant execution-

I went to see Jeffery Osborne and Will Downing! The venue was so wonderful! Plenty of seats (I forgot my chair) the music was clear, you could see who was performing! Very intimate. Great job! This is my new spot!

The brand new lock 3 is really amazing! Lots of places to to sit and hang other than the lawn.

I went with my parents to watch a FM cover band. Other than "Stevie", the band was great. I don't wish I would've known the the restrooms were under the parking garage. I walked to the top of the hill, expecting to find port-o-pots since it was a festival. Nope! They were at the bottom of the hill, about 70 yards from where I waa sitting. Oh well. I needed to get some more steps in!

Came for Akron Pride. park is well suited for events

What a great time! Staff and atmosphere were great and very accommodating. We arrived slightly after our time but the staff didn't mind and got our kids on the ice and bumper cars as planned. AND WE GOT TO SEE ARCHIE!!! Been about 40 years so what an awesome moment to share with my child.

This was a great experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and all the staff was very friendly and helpful. 5 star gift shop as well!

What an experience the history that is shared with you when you go in there. I left with such a deeper appreciation for AA and of recovery. Even to the 12 steps that lead to the porch of the house have a meaning insignificance

Is a nice place to visit and learn about A.A. history. You get the tour experience by a volunteer and they will make the difference in your life.

Such a meaningful place to visit. Staff was knowledgeable and welcoming.

Really cool to see! Thanks for being so welcoming!

What an experience!! I really enjoyed visiting Dr. Bob Smith’s historic house where Bill did his first 12 step with Bob. I am so grateful to AA for saving my life and this place is such spiritual gem. The gift shop is great as well! I bought a shirt, a lapel pin, an original Big Book and a coffee cup.

If you are interested in the history of twelve step programs, this is a don't miss spot. The house has been lovingly restored to it's original condition based on interviews with Dr Bob's daughter. There is a lot of AA memorabilia. The staff person (maybe a volunteer?) gave us a really good tour of the house. He knew a lot of interesting details. Next door is a gift shop with a lot of books and other items. There is no charge, but a suggested donation of $5. Based on other historic places we have visited, $5 is a steal of a deal. If you can afford to donate more, you should.

We loved our visit to Akron Children’s Museum. It was a little tricky to find, but staff were helpful and welcoming. I was surprised at how many different engaging exhibits they had given space limitations. We easily spent two hours there. The baby nursery/doctor’s office, build your own rocket, and music room were some highlights. Great for our kids ages 2 and 5.

I've come here with my kids about a dozen times the past two years. Pros: In general, it's a good spot to entertain my kids and it's affordable. They change exhibits from time to time, which is great. We love the music room and wind tubes area. I also appreciate that there's a nice nursing room for moms with littles. Cons: Restrooms are a long walk from everything (not great for newly potty trained toddlers)! And some areas seem a little dirty, but that's maybe to be expected at children's museums. Also we're members - we were surprised and a little offput when we found out there weren't any discounts to attend the museum's special events for members. Overall the museum is worth checking out for littles (ages 18 months to 8), but there are some minor downsides.

This was our first time at Akron Children’s Museum (ACM). When we go to a new place as a family, our first concern is always the accessibility of the place. We were thankful to find that the whole of the museum was accessible to our little girl who is in a wheelchair. There is an elevator that leads to the ACM, upon entering we were told there was a family restroom with a universal changing table, which we were personally grateful for. There are a number of sections that our sensory seeking little one could enjoy - including an actual sensory/quiet room, a wind/scarves section that she loved and music room. Beyond this, there is a cafeteria, birthday room, and many other fun stations for young children. Our oldest is 7 and he still had a lot of fun, we could have spent much more time there than we did. Overall a wonderful day trip!

The wife and i brought my 15m boy. He is couch surfing still not walking yet. He loves the play place and so did us. The place was really clean! It had tons of different sections. jungle gym, pretend farm and market, dress up for a stage, blocks area, marble mazes, and so much more! As an adult I enjoyed it too. I played just as much as he did here.

This is a wonderful place to take kids. There is so much to do. It develops a lot of skills. I would highly recommend it anytime. It keep changing. There are some new areas! A band area and an energy quest area! So much fun and educational. My kiddos are loving it! So excited!!

My grandson has a great time every time we go! The staff is wonderful and helpful.

Great place to spend the day!! My 2 and 3 year old loved it. Great price. Tons of things to keep them busy and playing. Places for parents to sit. Stroller/coat area inside play area. Something for every age! Will be back!

Wonderful historic Victorian home! It’s truly wonderful to tour. It has beautiful architecture and furnishings. Beautifully decorated for Christmas.

A place where history meets reality. If you like antiques this is the place to admire them and get some on your way out from the gift shop.

Truly a delightful experience finally visiting the Hower house. As someone who feels at peace in old buildings from a time when we cared about craftsmanship, this has no shortage of minutia and character to discover. The staff was wonderful and knowledgeable and full of insight on other historic places to visit in the name of keeping history alive. Unlike a lot of places that have been over restored this maintains many elements akin to its age. The money for tours and purchases made in the unexpectedly large basement boutique go towards keeping Hower House around for future generations to discover. As a huge proponent of backyard tourism I can’t sing the praises highly enough for the fact of admiring what actual skills used to accomplish by hand all over the house. But also,if you’re like me and enjoy searching for paranormal experiences this is not the place for you according to the guides. Although I still keep an open mind here,you don’t reach that level of success and wealth without hiding a few proverbial skeletons in your closet,I recommend tampering your expectations about spectral guests joining the tour.

Fantastic restored home. Volunteers are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. There are so many things to see in the house. Love the details in the chandeliers. Some are gas and some are electric. A few are both! Plan on about 90 minutes if you go. That would be plenty of time to see it. Well worth the visit. Close to downtown Akron.

This is a fantastic gem in Akron! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the Hower Family's contributions to Akron history. I found it interesting that the museum is furnished with items that actually belonged to the family. Last but not least the gift shop, Cellar Door Boutique, is full of all kinds of treasures and unique gifts that are extremely affordable! (And an added perk is students, faculty, and staff at the University of Akron get a discount by showing their ZipID!) I'm so excited to visit after they reopen on March 1st.

It's a Hidden Gem in Akron Ohio I wish more people could come and visit it it's beautiful we will be closed until the second week of February got to clean up them cobwebs

This is an unknown gem in Akron. Staff was very nice and knowledgeable about the house. I would recommend a visit.

I love going here with my children. We had so much fun exploring the museum, crafting a mold of a fossil, exploring the animals they have, and learning some educational facts about fossils and how they form. Staff was very pleasant and they seemed to be very knowledgeable. They have a big park and a 200 ft zip line. The zip line was very fun. That was actually the first one I went on ever and I feel like for a first timer it was a good expierence. The cost for everything including zip line for one adult and 3children was $52. So not to expensive. The only thing I was slightly disappointed in was the gift shop. A little pricy and not much to choose from.

My kids have been attending camps and school year classes here for more than a decade! They’ve learned so much about biology and earth science, chemistry and botany. Not to mention the myriad of other topics studied and hands on activities that have really helped them to grasp the subject matter being learned! If you’re looking to supplement your child’s education with more than what you can (or want to) teach at home, don’t hesitate to check out AFSC offerings.

Their Simply Science program has been a game changer for my kiddo. She loves the facility and staff, they cultivate such creativity and interest in the world around us. 5 stars all the way!

Very enjoyable for the kids they like the animals and fossils and collection of rocks (they’re minerals Marie) yes, there is a creationist or intelligent design twist on what is presented, but your children will have a fun time don’t listen to the adults in the reviews who cannot handle a difference of opinion you can make it through the whole place and hardly notice. I hardly doubt any of them truly drove two hours without even looking at the reviews and were taken totally by surprise

1. This is a sham. Do not give them your money, go to an actual museum. They are incredibly anti-science, most of their "exhibition" is made up of artist renditions and "recreations" and actively promotes things that no credible scientist would back up. The staff couldn't really answer questions well, it was mostly "maybe, I don't know". They sell religious propaganda with the guise of it being "educational" ... I mean just look at the pictures I took of their main "self guided tour" room. Not only did all of these titles have full display cases, but they also had a tv going non-stop explaining their anti-science stances. Absolutely awful and shocking when I thought I was taking my nephew to a fun activity. 2. The only thing worth while was the animals activity bc they let the kids hold the animals, but honestly there's so many places you could go do that & put your money to better use. Plus their animals were in smaller cages than they should have been in, kinda depressing.

A cool museum that we discovered by accident. They have tours that include animals, making fossil replicas, and a talk on fossil formation. Nice outdoor play area including a small zip line ($3 extra). Separate Creation Education Center. Would be great for smaller kids, but my 13 and 17 yo kids enjoyed it. Very friendly staff.

My kids loved it the gm is super nice an sat with them an explained everything to them in way they would understand! Never have i been to a more family place an will definitely go again!!!

We went to the 43rd Annual Christmas Free event for Children's Hospital. It is a Free event. We parked in the parking garage, which has a skywalk. There is a food court. A High School choir sang a selection of lovely music. There are trees displayed in two areas, one is a winding walk through, and the other is in a huge convention room. There are also wreaths and other beautiful handmade items displayed, most have been SOLD. There is a Raffle going on. There is an area where you can buy gifts, bows and other items. It goes on until Sunday.

Always a beautiful event center. I enjoyed the Juneteenth festival. I go every year for the Christmas tree fest in November. Clean safe and user Friendly

Clean. Spacious. Parking meters on the street did not work. Prices in the temporary "food court" were ridiculously high. But the John S Knight Center itself was nice.

Perfect venue to hold local trade shows and other events. I attended the bridal show. Parking garage across the street was convenient and there is a cute little coffee shop nearby as well!

This is a well-equipped convention center in downtown Akron with a wide variety of rooms and spaces suitable for events of all sizes. The location is convenient, and the facility is clean, professional, and versatile—ideal for corporate meetings, trade shows, or conferences. Staff is helpful, and setup options make planning smooth and efficient. Solid choice for any professional event.

It was absolutely fabulous. The trees were fun and amazing. There are other things to see their wreathes, nativity, gingerbread houses, many other things. The money goes for such a good cause Children's Hospital.

I really enjoyed the Christmas Tree Festival. I arrived early, but it was really crowded later on in the morning. They could use more space for their displays and due to the size of the crowds. I try to visit every year and it's always a treat.

I love this venue. The way it’s set up is so nice, if you pay for premiere parking like we did you won’t have to walk too far to the stage. Also getting out didn’t take too long since we had the parking upgrade as well. Another upgrade we splurged on was the blue moon party deck! If you’re on the fence about spending the extra money do it! We were at a sold out show and the party deck was so nice. There’s comfortable couches to wait on and then when the artist comes out you have plenty of room to dance, there’s also a private bar and the walk to the bathroom/water/food isn’t very far. I will definitely upgrade to the party deck again in the future…. So now I gotta talk about why I gave four stars. It stormed pretty hard before the show which left the cement slick, there was a wet floor sign but from our seats I saw AT LEAST 4 people slip and actually hit the ground and I can’t even tell you how many people slipped but caught themselves before falling. It worried me because I didn’t want anyone to get hurt. Please consider installing some drains or maybe finding some type of floor covering to help protect your guests when the cement is wet. This is my only complaint, I will definitely visit Blossom again!

This is one of our favorite concert venues. We love the variety of food tucks, drinks and the lawn seating. There is also plenty of parking. We do not recommend taxis, Uber or Lyft because once the show is over there is no way for them to pick you up. You have to walk completely off property and find a pick up location. All of the roads become exits so they can't come to get you at a gate. It's a pretty long walk and traffic flow is not organized. You will be waiting for a long time. We had 3 drivers cancel our pick ups after we walked off property. It would be better to have a designated driver if your group is drinking and park on site.

Such an awesome concert venue. We parked in the handicap lot, it was super close and easy to get in and out. They had a special entrance line for the pit which made it easy to get your wristband. The pit was really small which was awesome. The food was good and the restrooms were clean.

Besides the trek from the general parking (about 10-15 minute walk depending on your pace), the pavilion seats are great, not a bad seat there. You can bring an unopened 20oz water bottle or an empty reusable bottle and you can refill them at designated full stations. Gorgeous scenery, leaves are just starting to change in September. Sound is stellar. Plan on getting here well before the doors open to get decent parking is you don't want to pay for the really expensive parking upgrade. Photos from section 12 row N seats 1+2.

I’ve been to countless venues and outdoor amphitheaters, i feel like Blossom could be one of the best. It does soo much right! First off, the grade/slope for lawn is perfect. Besides sitting in line with the posts you have a great sight, the sound was LOUD for goo goo dolls and perfect! Which is great! (Too many venues being subjected to noise ordinances and in residential areas anymore blah blah). They have AMPLE beer selections, like more than Walmart! (Typical highway robbery tho at $23 a beer that’s $3.50 at gas station) quick lines, didn’t have a problem getting to restroom quick. I appreciated the ample portapotties walking TO venue and in parking lot! That is primo customer service. Cause it is a walk to the gates but it’s all downhill. lol coming back is the fun part. 4 stars because how do you not have a water station anywhere nearby!? I had to ask several employees, most were puzzled like I was the first to ask them such a question. YES! A water station! It should be illegal not to have access to ample water that’s QUALITY. The manager pointed me down the path to the only one, like a 40 yard walk by the restaurant. Absurd. The guy agreed and said they used to have one right nearby, pointed to a spot on the cement but they removed it. That’s insane. Darien center has a super nice water station with filtered water directly outside bathrooms. People are paying outrageous amounts for beer, insane ticket fees, driving several hours like I did, the least you can do is provide access to free water. Especially since they posted about heat advisory and stay hydrated! So please invest in that courtesy ASAP! I work in event planning and coordination and I’ve worked for the IATSE stagehand union setting up shows. These are musts. There’s no way ppl should be forced to buy overpriced Liquid Death canned water which has overtaken the live event market. It’s a weird company and I don’t like it. Aside from that amazing venue, the scenery is unmatched. I haven’t been here in 15+ years. Can’t believe the bands I’ve been missing! Bringing in Neil young? Doobies? Goo goo, then a whole bunch I missed like country stars, amazing. Will be back to numerous more shows. Hope they get some reggae rock like Rebelution/iration/soja etc, maybe some greats like Jackson Browne, mellencamp, fogerty. Thx for the excellent time! Yes btw getting out is chaotic. Ppl are sprinting for cars. I wasn’t in a hurry as much. But thankfully got out with decent time cause I got lucky Also glad they don’t allow chairs and only blankets. Helps with space. They shouldn’t even rent chairs tho. That’s not fair but hey. Ppl are old I get it.

Love this place and have for decades. So many memories it's overwhelming to even think of them. Many improvements over the years, especially parking and accessibility provisions. Something for everyone in a park like setting. So refreshing from all the other urban, big city venues. Although I am of an age where I have sat on the lawn for my last time, having that affordable option for families etc is wonderful

Came here for the Weird Al concert. Mostly positive experience. We got lawn seats and upgraded to the party deck. I would highly recommend this option, we had couches to sit on and a dedicated server bringing us food and drinks. I would not recommend the Blossom Grill, however. We made reservations because we knew we'd arrive early, but the food was both too fancy (nothing plain for my son with food issues) and not very good, being very high priced even considering that it's inside the venue. Next time we'll bring more snacks and get ice cream from our server - the cookies that came with it were great! I've added a pic with the view from our seats

I had an incredible adventure at the Summit Art Space! It was such an inspiring experience, and I left buzzing with ideas for things I can't wait to create. The space itself sparked so much creativity, and to top it off, they shared information about how I could become part of the gallery. Here's hoping one day I'll have my own space there, showcasing all the exciting projects that are already starting to come to life! I’m so grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to see where this journey takes me.

Fantastic, mind-expanding, inclusive gallery that showcases local artists. Exhibitions change quarterly, so put a date on your calendar each quarter to check out all the new art!

Great place to see local art for free !

I just saw Master Artist Kenn Hetzel's 102 Sculptures on the third floor. It was an amazing experience. All of these Sculptures really showcases his talent and skills to work with stone, wood and metal. 100 of the Sculptures can fit in your hands and Mr. Hetzel is willing to make full sized versions of any of his hand held peices. He has 2 full sized Sculptures in the middle of the room around 4 feet tall. I hope everyone interested in Sculptures and art will come and check this out in person as pictures and video do not full show the depth of detail and beauty these Sculptures.

Wonderful art show on main level with lots of small artist's studios on top level

Everything was beautiful. The vendors were awesome, be sure to see the art called "Common Ground"

Supper cool space for local artists!

Fantastic history hike with Summit Metro Parks naturalist, Janean, at Liberty Park on the Black Bear Trail. Her energy and enthusiasm is palpable. She led the hike on Mon., 3/24/2025 for more that 2 dozen hikers. Great information on the park, maple syrup production, and the city of Twinsburg. Thanks Janean for ding such a great job on this hike!

This is a downhill wooded path and I wouldn't recommend a stroller 😅😅😅🤣

My dog and i love the hiking trails for decades but over the past 2 years the ticks have been so bad at Monroe falls and tallmadge that i don't take my dog there anymore.

The parks are beautiful. There are so many fun programs.

Clean and safe

I have to admit, the parks in Summit County are one of the few things I enjoy about this area. Not all of them are kept up the way the should be but most of them are absolutely stunning. Virginia Kendell, the ledges in Twinsburg are probably two of my favorites! If you enjoy photography, art or writing then these two locations are great for capturing some inspiration! A nice (more secluded) park is the O'Neil Woods in Bath, OH. I didn't get to explore both paths yet but the "Trail Lot" was quiet, had a cute little creek , clean and peaceful. Hands down, Summit offers some of the better parks I've visited and are definitely worth the trip :)

The more Rangers the Better. Safety/Law forces are a beautiful thing! Such a wonderful area. We are all truly blessed to have this to enjoy. Bike, walk, hike, or picnic. It's heaven in Ohio!

Blujazz+ is classy, warm, inviting a true gem. A place where you can enjoy great food music, drinks, and a warm inviting atmosphere - definitely for grown ups, nestled in the heart of Akron. A place where you will experience billboard, grammy nominated jazz artist that prefer a cozy approachable environment. Tony the owner, Mike his son the manager, and Max one of the servers/ folk - blues guitarist will go above and beyond to make sure you feel welcomed and appreciated. Blu Jazz+ has been around since 2014 and continuing to soar and thrive and I see why. Don't take my word for it - come experience BluJazz+ for yourself. You will be pleasantly pleased. “The Experiemce” Jesse Jtjazz Thompson - Piano Adam Hawley - Guitar Jason Jackson- Saxophone Kat Hawley- Vocalist Chris Wright- Drums

Last minute plans brought us here. Family was in town and it was my birthday. The musician was phenomenal! We had a great time! Next time I'm in town, I will return!

We went on a Saturday night and it was at maybe 10% capacity. The music was great, atmosphere was great, but the cocktails and wine left a lot to be desired. I had a Moscow mule which was good and the margarita was horrible. My wife got a Malbec wine which was served with bubbles in the glass and definitely not stored correctly. This place has a lot of potential but I wouldn’t come here for the drinks, come for the jazz vibe and good music. I wish the drinks lived up to the standard of music.

Wow, this is a cool place! I’m so glad we went, and we’ll be back for sure. Such a great place for live music.

I have never ordered food there but the top shelf long island ice tea is with very worth getting. I’ve been here before tonight I seen Julian Vaughn for the first time and he put on a awesome show

Want a different night out with someone or friends...enjoy music up close.... par take in Jazz. Corner of Main and Market in downtown Akron. A bar is available, parking nearby at the garage. Seating all around the floor and stage. I have seen people bring in a pizza from next store too. Go enjoy...

A true hidden gem in Akron. This place was the very reason I came here, and it proved to be the right choice. Everything — from the sound system and instruments to the atmosphere, food, and performance — was simply perfect.

The children library is so much fun. Staff were very helpful and my kids enjoyed some reading and activity time on a rainy day.

We love our visits to the Children’s Library! My kids love attending the baby and preschool story times and all of the special events.

Spacious with room to breathe. Captivating interior. Never an unavailable seat, also have plenty single, paired chairs & spacious group seating. Charge ports are like 1 out of every 3 seats, just depends. Of course solid selection of books & if it’s not there they quickly order it from branch loc. or other. Noise levels are a little less than moderate but drowns out with space. My fav library.

Great place to spend some time or take the kids on a rainy day. Very large library. Three floors. And the children's section is separate from the rest of the library. The staff was very helpful and listened to my son's stories. Plenty of places to simple crash and dive into a book!

This library has great accessibility, conference center , and many many more options , place looks superb ! The city of Akron has done a great job putting together this great building ! You can find old maps from the city ! From the best Cd music collections I’ve ever seeing!! They have a huge variety of very rare books ! To the best on technology! I tell ya !! And I kid you not !

The library is a gem 💎 🛴🛴🛴🛴🎹🎹🎹🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼 you can park for free for about an hour at the parking deck ! But always check that was about 2 years ago .

I can't imagine a resource someone would need either as an educator, job seeker, business professional, or student that the Library doesn't have. The staff is generally very friendly and helpful, it's a big facility, and there is plenty of room to find a quiet workspace. The Library is right in the middle of downtown Akron, so there is plenty of places around to break for lunch (or dinner). There are plenty of public events like free movie nights and meeting resources, like rooms for rent, for companies or organizations. On top of all that, they stay on the cutting edge with regards to technology with green screen and recording studios, vinyl and 3D printers, a laser engraver, internet access, and much more! The Library is very community oriented as well and contributes to several local organizations in various ways. The Library is a tremendous asset in the Akron area that everyone, regardless of age, should make time to explore.

The Akron Summit County Library has a huge selection of books, magazines, research materials, kids books, community events, and services they offer. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The library is quiet and comfortable. Their website also includes access to a lot of digital content like audio books, ebooks, music, movies, documentaries, etc. Please click the Like button if you found this review helpful.

Went and saw the Bread tribute band "Toast" and it was a great show. Great vocals and each member shines with their instrument mastery. Great tribute to Bread.

We had an amazing time here! I was surprised to see what this theater held. The volunteer staff was absolutely fantastic and incredibly helpful when it came to finding seats and getting concessions. Sitting in the balcony was perfect for viewing as well as price.

May be a great experience for some, may be an overhyped challenge for others. Parking is not easy, signage and directions are unclear, limited restrooms, VERY VERY cramped seating. Be careful when purchasing tickets. The site does NOT indicate limited leg room seats. We are not tall people.. well under 6 foot and not heavy-set, yet cramped leg room. I may not go back for awhile. It will have to be under better conditions. The restricted legroom seats should not be sold to adults - and should have a HUGE disclaimer. Not worth the $$$ for the knee and leg strain.

Nice theater. Has reasonably priced parking across the street. Cup holders on the back of seat. Which is nice so you don't have to hold your beverage the entire show. I had one slight issue entering but it was resolved quickly. The check-in person's device showed that my ticket was a screenshot although I was in the ticketmaster website. Add'l staff verified this and I was able to enter without further issue. I'd definitely return the next time something interesting is going on at this theater!!

Easy to get to. Parking lot across street. Great venue for concerts good acoustics affordable friendly staff.

I don't need to say anything more, it was Steve Hackett and his band. A phenomenal show. They play Genesis music that's worth listening to.

Not as ornate as the civic, however, the sound is just as good. Not a bad seat in the house. Special mention to security and the rest of staff who treated me very, very well. I'll be back. Edit: special thanks to Cathy. From the guy who held the door open for you!

I am a little biased on this review. After visiting 6 Universities, my son picked this one to pursue a degree in Chemical Engineering, so I think it's great! It's reasonably priced. It has great engineering programs. It is world renowned for it's Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering programs. It's a great place to get a college education. The campus is really nice too.

Always love visiting this beautiful campus. The buildings are well maintained and the grounds are just wonderful.

good school. had a great time there. the campus is nice but is a commuter school so if looking for college life might not be the choice for you

Although I absolutely loved the counseling services offered here, my professors at Wayne campus were awesome, the gym on main campus is awesome. My biggest problem here is from department to department there are students responding to emails and answering phone calls. They lack the basic understanding or even people skills honestly to interact with the public or answer questions. Maybe it’s because I’m 29, so I look older. I just feel like regardless of age, it was VERY difficult getting support here, or finding consistent answers. If you hire students for this positions, they should be taught how to give grace and empathy. Personally, I have a learning disability and due to not being in school for 10 years, I hadn’t had an IEP and I wasn’t sure how to get about getting one. My physical appearance doesn’t warrant for help, I seem independent, so when I would reach out for help, I would get confused looks, or just attitudes as if I just need to figure it out alone. Eventually I found Mrs. Juanita at counseling services, and she was very helpful at the ending of my spring semester. Unfortunately I never got my IEP plan here just due to the frustration of not being heard in the mist of attempting to fix issues, so I chose to not re enroll. I will say, they WILL fix a problem, but all the hoops and holes you have to jump through is ridiculous. I’m mentally exhausted. Being an older student returning to school after so long, I would think they would have some type of support group or something in place. I felt very lost and alone here. The underlying shame of having to return to school surrounded by young adults is already overwhelming, but to receive shameful looks or consistently deal with passive aggressive attitudes is a lot and makes the shame worse. I wouldn’t recommend main campus at all. Wayne campus is smaller, everyone is more helpful, and they help with a smile.

I was at a graduation at E J Thomas hall. Its beautiful but there's no middle walk way to exit to the bathroom

This school blames victims for what perpetrators do. The residence halls are filled with mold. They don’t do anything for there students what so ever. Classes are okay but nothing to write home about. I would not go here if your able to go to any other college

Kinda ruined my dreams of becoming an engineer. Thanks JP Cossey and the University of Akron. Also, a lot of crime on/around campus, terrible professors, disgusting buildings, and terrible sports programs.

Absolutely beautiful place. The nature center is really cool. Would highly recommend for younger children. Has a cute little gift shop inside. The hike is beautiful especially if you love birds.

Such a lovely little park that takes you from normal city life straight into a relaxing, calming nature realm that’s great for the entire family. There’s multiple trails, a rock and herb garden, and the nature center is really cool! For kids and adults both!

Amazing place to take the family. And for free! We saw over 8 different nature critters/animals in our first visit. Some are shown in pictures. Beautiful botanicals to teach children about as well. Huge trail looped in with smaller ones in the case of wanting to cut it short. Highly recommend.

Great hiking trails that are not to hard. Path leads to nearby Sand Run park for extra hiking miles and jogging. Lost of close and people friendly wildlife like ducks, birds and squirrels.

Been to this park many times. It is so beautiful and so peaceful. I can close my eyes and see myself as a young boy. It is great to take my kids here and see them doing the same things I did.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting F.A. Sieberling Nature Realm with a diverse group of hikers, aged 6, 40, and 63, and I can confidently say that this place is a gem for nature lovers of all ages! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the cleanliness of the facilities and the well-maintained trails. The indoor nature center was a highlight of our visit — it was not only informative but also beautifully designed, providing a perfect introduction to the local flora and fauna. The staff inside were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, offering us valuable insights about the area and making our experience even more enjoyable. The hiking trails offered a great variety of difficulty levels, making it accessible for everyone in our group. The paths were well-marked and easy to navigate, allowing us to explore at our own pace. We found ourselves captivated by the scenic spots along the trails, where we had the chance to view an array of wildlife. It was a delight to see birds and other creatures in their natural habitat, which truly enhanced our outdoor adventure. Overall, F.A. Sieberling Nature Realm is a fantastic destination for families and nature enthusiasts alike. Whether you're young or young at heart, this beautiful nature preserve has something for everyone. I highly recommend a visit — we can't wait to return!

Absolutely beautiful and wonderful place to take a walk and take a hike. Even has a little gift shop on the trail. Only thing I would say is be careful, aside from the gift shop I did not find any public bathroom!?!?

Very beautiful old cemetery love coming to see this stuff

Appreciate the Civil War chapel, which I visit with my family on Memorial Day to read the stories of sacrifices made and their significance. Amazing stories and also difficult to imagine. The whole cemetery is beautiful and this gem at the entrance deserves a visit. Read their stories in the pictures attached

If you look closely you’ll see orbs of light. There’s a green one that changed location picture to picture. Very busy place here. Please note this is a place of rest, not thrills. You get what you look for, here. I wanted peace. I share the last name with ancestors here. Maybe we are related.

Pretty cool cemetery. I was impressed with all the individual crypts that lined the entry way. I would have liked to have had more time to explore but I was running short this day.

A lot of history, oldest cemetery in the Akron area. Definitely something to check out, kind of spooky.

Had my wedding here. They were so attentive and easy to work with. Thank you again

A nice peaceful place to visit and walk around.

I visited at a time when there was an exhibit of wedding gowns thru the decades. So many gowns displayed in each room that it was nearly impossible to see the fine accoutrements of the house, which was my primary purpose for the visit.

Interesting to learn about the original owners and their influence in the city of Akron. The buildings are kept cool in the summer. Volunteer staff are very nice, helpful and enthusiastic! I appreciate that they keep sheep on the grounds of "Mutton Hill" as a nod to it's origins. The adjacent John Brown house increases the educational value.

There are tours of the Perkins Mansion,the John Brown House and the property. Learning about the history of this place was amazing. It is awesome to watch the sheep dogs(border collies) work the sheep that stay on the property through the spring and summer.

Great place of history..always visit when I'm back home for a visit

I had a blast flying my drone over this historical building in Akron.

Historical Perkins estate with live sheep. Dedicated volunteers and a small paid staff maintain the grounds. Trees on the bluff were removed in 2025, giving the estate its first peek at downtown Akron in half a century.

My children and I went there expecting to just walk around but we're greeted by a very friendly employee who guided us to an intro video about the home and then took us to the house where we were taken on a private tour by the sweetest woman! She was very informed on all of the questions I asked and even told me about their paranormal tours and some of the things they show you on that tour. An amazing piece of history.

This place was shown to me by a really nice elderly couple who told me “you need to see this” and even though it was closed those little law breakers drove me back there anyway and quickly showed it to me. Its a neat spot. Shame its closed. Curious as to why because almost two years later it still says “temporarily closed” 🤔

Very enjoyable place to go and think about all the travelers that used this tree as a marking point for trails. This tree is huge and magnificent in shape. Very easy to spot. There are benches around the tree that make it very nice to take a break and think, or read.

How our ancestors helped direct others ,by bending trees. Just beautiful, admire and just so proud to have been born in Akron Ohio, summit county . We have so many amazing FOUNDER'S and Places for tourists to check out!!!

Very nice and well maintained park. Signal Tree is a truly unique and ancient tree with a lot of history. The Metro Parks have done an excellent job of preserving it. It is only a short walk from the parking lot.

This U-shaped tree was used by Native Americans to mark the northernmost point of a trail. A 2.4 mile trail around the park is a nice with some beautiful scenery

Very pleasant space to hide from the strains of traveling. Highly recommend for a quick recharge during a long trip.

Nice peaceful, secluded place with unique history. Probably the oldest tree in the area.

You can only see it from the outside unless you're with a special tour group or on rare occasions when ie is open to the public. Driving near it however, affords one the opportunity to grasps the enormity of the building and imagine its true place in history.

I saw that Hindenburg thing that happened in New Jersey. I don’t care if it is Helium, I’m not getting on this thing!

Really, Really BIG! I’ve heard the condensation inside can form clouds and come down as rain. Only wish we could have taken a tour.

Formerly known as "The Good-Year Blimp Hanger" Anyone who grew up in the Akron area in the 60's and 70's knows exactly what it was.

Got there late and didn't get to go in and tour. This place is huge.

Thought it was for the Goodyear blimp but it was an air dock for a different company.

Really neat place to see

Nice spot to skate, they even have several people out here with dirt bikes and quads, so there must be paths and trails close by!!

Awesome skatepark recommended any day of week.

Everything here could not be better. The lava pitt is awesome. The swimming pool and water slide rule. It takes a long time waiting in line, but the sweet success of going down the slide hitting the double loop is unbeatable. The pizza and ice cream store here is reasonably priced, and I appreciate that they never skimp on sprinkles.

It's a nice skate park, except for all the street racers, drifting, turning, and other groups that show up and cause trouble frequently

It's a nice place to ride. It's neat to see the graffiti change month to month. Some of those guys are pretty good with the rattle can, and some are good on their bikes!

Place is sick - I’ve seen worse skateparks in SoCal honestly.

It is still there... sk8 BMX watch the planes... Soap Box..

We had an early dinner at Luigi's Restaurant a few days ago. The boss (my wife) had spaghetti with mushrooms and I had 1/2 rigatoni and 1/2 ravioli, and both our dishes were baked with extra cheese. I damn near scraped the melted cheese off the plate with my teeth. Service, food, and prices were all great. But be aware that they don't accept credit cards. There is an ATM towards the back, but we brought cash. The experience was worth going to the ATM.

This was our first visit while in the area due to a recommendation. I definitely got an old pizza shop vibe. We ordered the the pepperoni, sausage, mushroom and green pepper pizza it was amazing. If I had one negative thing to say it would be that the bottom crust was light in color and could have baked a little longer there was a spot or two under the toppings where the dough seemed a little undercooked.

We visited Luigi‘s for the first time in downtown Akron. The place was very busy, but we were seated quickly. Our server was exceptional. She never came from the kitchen without stopping at or bringing food, for at least three tables on every trip. The pizza was very good a slightly unique sauce that was appealing. Their cheese is delicious and plentiful. We look forward to stopping back. I’m told we absolutely should try their lasagna.

Walking into Luigi’s feels like stepping back in time. The dim, dated atmosphere instantly conjures images of an old Sicilian restaurant—like the kind where mobsters might’ve once gathered to plot turf wars. But trust me, the food more than makes up for the décor and the paper menus. It’s just down-home, no-frills goodness. Take the zucchini fries, for example. The menu says they come with marinara sauce, but that description doesn’t do them justice. It’s more like a rich, stewed tomato topping—absolutely delicious. We inhaled every bite along with the complimentary Italian bread, which was crusty on the outside and soft and luscious on the inside. I ordered the cheese pizza (no judgment—I don’t eat pork), and while the menu is limited to just a few classic toppings, simplicity works in Luigi’s favor. The pizza looked like it might be doughy and heavy, but it wasn’t at all. The crust was light, airy, crispy—and totally addictive. The Italian Tossed Salad with cheese is another story. They don’t hold back on the mozzarella—it practically helmets the bowl. A bit overwhelming, but the house-made Italian dressing more than redeems it. Just remember: Luigi’s is unapologetically old school. It’s cash-only, but they do have an ATM inside. And if you want music, you’ll need to feed the jukebox. It’s all part of the charm.

Bathroom need a new faucet ASAP. Very crusty looking. And bathroom stalls are small. I ordered an antipasta salad. They forgot the raddish and the selection of lettuce was not looked at before serving me. Salad was ok once I picked through it. A salty selection. The feel of this place is like a movie setting.

This is a fabulous, classic Italian restaurant. We went in for a lunch. I got a slice of pizza and a salad for $5.90 and my sister got baked ravioli Florentine, along with a salad. So good! Becky brought us bread fresh from the oven. The folks working there were very welcoming. The place reminds me of one of my favorite old Italian restaurants in Maine. It almost felt like a diner with classic Italian dishes and great staff. Becky was amazing and very patient with us as we explored our options.

I've loved Luigi's a long time and had many great family moments there. This visit I had pepperoni mushroom pizza and it was outstanding! Always good and I'll always plan to return.

Came for a ducks game but got postponed. Nice stadium, not crazy pricing except for suites imo

Excellent place to watch the rubber ducks play! Food, drinks activities were all affordable and good. The kids also had a blast on Sunday when its kids day!

Fantastic place. Get atmosphere. Love minor league baseball

Awesome little ballpark. Attended thirsty Thursday (2.00 beer night.) As you can see It was also Irish night!

Staff are very nice and attentive. The park is a gem in the city of Akron, Ohio. Clean. Parking is easy, close and affordable. I felt safe. Everyone was upbeat and friendly. There was rain so the delay made the game late. Rainchecks were offered. I wish I could have seen the whole game.

A fantastic park with many amenities and fair pricing! I loved this park and would recommend ot anyone in the area

Beautiful park, not a bad seat in the house. Food and drinks were good and reasonable.

I waited my whole life to go to that stadium. Today, I operated the scoreboard there for a proud advancement football team called the Cuyahoga Falls Rapids, who played their home games there. That stadium is more amazing on the inside than it ever was looking at it while driving by.

The stadium itself was nice but the volume of the announcer was way louder than necessary and it should be illegal to shoot off the cannon in that close of a proximity of the players. It was beyond ridiculous.

I attended an event there on Sat. None of their concessions take cash. They only accept card. Cash is legal tender and should be accepted. This policy is NOT posted clearly at the entrances or registers. What about the elderly or those with disabilities that don't have access to cards?

Nice facility, just wished it was used more for concerts and other fun events. They are missing out on easy money

Very nice and affordable. Great time with free parking for games

I was there for the Marching Band Concert and it was nice. I can't wait to see how it works once it gets cold.

Modern stadium featuring wide concourses and great viewing angles. Impressive luxury suites. Features a grass hill behind one endzone for additional seating, and a surprising variety of alcohol at the concession stands.

My friends and I did the Mountaintop Murder room and had a blast!! The rooms were put together really well. It was challenging, but not too hard. We made it out with 4 minutes to spare! The staff was friendly and helpful as well. The only thing I would change is the amount of locks. There were SO many to unlock and it would have been nice to change it up a bit. I will definitely be back to try the other rooms!

Joey was a great host! The room was dope as heck too, the arcade was a lot of fun and super 80s if you want some 80s action.

Chris and amber were amazing tonight during our arcade escape! We had so much fun with our group. Highly recommend!

We had SO MUCH FUN here!! Took my girlfriend here for a date night in the Mountain Top Murder room, and it was an absolute blast!! Our location host, Chris, was such a sweetheart too, making the whole experience even better. They were super knowledgeable, and even though we didn't quite make it to the end of the escape room they walked us through the rest of the puzzles. We got so close! Our game master, Dani from the providence location, was also super helpful!! We even got a few freebie hints when they could tell we were struggling LOL. Bought encore tickets ($10 off each ticket for your next game!!) and we're super excited to go again 🖤🖤

Great staff. We worked with Giniva (I think that’s how you spell her name) she was made for the job. She was theatrical in the best ways. Don’t change Giniva the world needs more authentic people. Had a lot of fun in the escape room.

OUR EXPERIENCE WAS AWESOME!!! We had Chris as our guide, and him and the entire staff were so welcoming and kind. The room was amazing, immersive, and so fun (and genuinely a little spooky at times)!

We had never done an escape room before. It was very fun. The staff was great. We did The Mountain Top Murder. We missed 3, but it was a great time. Would highly recommend.

Phenomenal experience! Menu is unique and so flavorful. 3 of us dined like queens and ordered half the menu. Stars of the show were the smoked tuna appetizer with Wasabi foam and the Chilean sea bass. Will be back for dinner to try next season's menu.

Went here on pride day on a Saturday night. Everything was great. No wait, wonderful waitresses. The food came out fast and it was delicious. I had the crab cakes with a shrimp add on and sweet potato fries. It was so yummy, I will definitely be back for more. The margaritas were good. One had Patrol and one had Don Julio. Both were perfectly made. All the waitress were dressed in pride colors and had great energy. Thank you so much!!

In downtown akron there is not many great places to eat. This places however is quite good. But it is very pricey. The black pepper pasta was ok. It wasn't the greatest thing ever. But it wasn't bad. It reads as a Carbonara with an Alfredo sauce. The predominant flavor is just black pepper. The airline chicken however is very interesting. Let's start with the bad the chicken at the thinner end is way overcooked. But the thicker portions near the bone are perfectly done. So you get about have a chicken perfectly cooked and the other half is a little dry. But the cornbread pudding pickles and caramel sauce its paired with is so interesting. This is a very interesting take on like a chicken and waffles. It's a great mix of sweet, savory, and acidic. The flavor pairing is exceptional. It is a very well conceived dish. It's only downfall is the execution on like half the chicken. I will say the airline chicken is worth it's price. The black pepper pasta is not. The black pepper pasta just isn't special enough to warent it. The crave martini is just an orange martini. It's good it's fairly balanced the orange juice isn't overpowering by any means and it doesn't read like a brunch cocktail. So I would say it's pretty good. It's also not overly sweet. Parking here is either street parking or one of the nearby garage. There is also a valet o option as well. Also be warned there is a 3% upcharge on meals paid by card.

Our server Emily was phenomenal, personable, and took great care of us! You could tell management was actively on the floor helping staff which as a former restaurant human I can absolutely appreciate. Food was FIRE! The Cesar hot sauce wings man with the blue cheese!! Me and my bf do not like blue cheese but all those flavors together wow! Chef Jimmy’s special tonight, the swordfish, that man I swear has god living in his hands and his ability to craft dishes that are beyond creative and delicious. Will absolutely be back and will recommend to everyone!! Seriously everything was so good. Thank you.

Be ready to spend some money, but the food was excellent. The smaller portions you might expect at an upscale place, but the flavor and plating was superb. Our server appeared to be running the place by herself, including tending the whole bar. Not a criticism of her, but the service took a while because they needed more people.

My two sisters and I had a great lunch. The food was fantastic, they said the cocktails were also great. Our service by Katie was awesome. We had the smoked salmon bagel,calamari, crab cakes, and fried tomatoes. Place was great, we'll be back.

We stopped at Crave in Akron before a show at the Goodyear Theater. We had reseryfor 4:30 pm but didn't really need them since it was not crowded. I was surprised that Downtown Akron was a ghost town but happy that it was easy to get around since it was my first time here and didn't know my way around. Found paid parking on the street and we were seated immediately. Our Server, Derek m, was helpful and attentive. He quickly brought water and our drinks and was patient as we read the menu. We ordered the BLT (bacon lobster and tomato) served on Texas toast. Made fresh and tasty. We both had the chicken rice soup, which was served hot and was thick and hearty. We also got the burger, which was cooked perfect but seemed like a pre-packaged burger patty. Excellent service and good menu options.

My daughter is four and she's autistic and she loves this place. The only thing is it is expensive. If you're not a member, if you're going to go even once a week or whatever it's worth getting the membership. They have certain days that only members can go on. They can bring a friend but you still have to pay for them. It's just very pricey, but it's a nice atmosphere. Very family focused outdoor pool, a couple water slides and a playground. Very nice

This place is great. Very clean. Guards were very nice. No crazy rules like other places. You can bring your chair. You can sit in the water with your chair. The slides and lazy river are so fun. No swim test required. I wish we lived closer!

Great Place to have fun and get cold down in the hot weather the best part if you don’t need be resident from Cuyahoga to get in. They allow you to bring food and drinks except alcohol. Highly Recommend

I dont understand why so many bad reviews, I was here the past weekend and we have a great time, maybe they dont have many tubes for the slides and the lazy river but i did no mind the little wait to grab one, the only thing i will say, bring your own food or snacks from home because the store barely have options, other than that, is a great spot!!!

We love Waterworks! My family has had passes for the last 5 years! There is something for everyone to enjoy. Parking can be difficult sometimes, but we always end up finding a spot. Memberships are definitely worth purchasing.

I'm not going to return here. They have these magical member days which don't seem to be indicated on the hours listing anywhere and I am not going to waste my time driving there just to be turned around. You should maybe think about being more transparent about member only days. The entrance fee is ridiculously high as well so not really a loss at all just a humbling lesson.

The staff was great. The only downfall is that there isn't enough shade and there are different prices for residents vs non residents. The kids had a lot of fun and enjoyed every moment they had at the center.

I had a great experience at Rock Mill! The space is super clean and has a really modern, welcoming vibe. I especially enjoyed the coffee bar area—it’s a nice touch and made the visit feel even more relaxing and enjoyable. Definitely one of the best climbing gyms I’ve been to!

I have never been bouldering before, but my experience at Rock Mill was very good. They have a large climbing space that accommodates climbers of all skills. It provides a great workout experience that is fun and enjoyable as well as challenging. Rock Mill also has a small fitness center, not anything huge but enough equipment to get you warmed up for climbing. Staff was very nice, and overall it was a great experience here.

There are new routes weekly, they invest in their facility (always clean, they just expanded the wall, new workout equipment, etc), and are very friendly!

Just started climbing and really enjoyed the introductory class here. Wonderful exercise in a terrific atmosphere.

Three of us came in for the first time tonight and we were checked in by a super helpful member of the gym’s staff. We probably went a little too big, too fast, but had a great time. The gym is very clean and the atmosphere is very laid back with friendly regulars. I thinks we’re all a little sore, but looking forward to coming back!

Few gyms compare to the quality of holds, difficulty of climbs, variations of climbs (routes), friendliness of patrons, personality of staff, cleanliness, and variety of fitness offered. Rockmill sets the bar high or maybe I should say holds. From walking in the door Rock Mill is set up centered around climbing and the climbing community yet offers a diverse range of fitness classes that help with climbing along with yoga. This has created one of the most diverse gyms that I've gone to. The climbs (routes) at Rock Mill are quite diverse from the beginner to advanced. The routes are well marked and easy to follow. Holds are of great quality and offer much better grip than other gyms I've climbed. Routes are constantly changed every few weeks offering diversity in climbs. The simple things are what Rock Mill nails. Rock Mill is clearly designed as a oasis Whoever creates the playlists should get a raise as they're quite diverse yet well selected to go with the climbing atmosphere. The set up allows for a good flow and they is a good amount of seats to rest and watch. Even when they're is over 50+ people there is adequate room. Liquid chalk is provided which I've never been anywhere which gives it out. The patrons at Rock Mill are always available for a chat especially to help you with a route that you might be struggling on. Staff are constantly walking around to ensure safety and offer pointers. Their staff also climb consistently and it shows as they know what they're talking about. Rock Mill does more than just be a gym with special events that incorporates the community around them raising school supplies for local schools to donating canned foods along with the global climbing community. Sometimes I wonder if this is a for profit gym or one that just wants to help others out. Overall if you haven't climbed at Rock Mill you need to. It will give you a challenge, you'll probably meet a few people, and your body will probably say you worked hard after.

Had the BEST time climbing with my twin 5 year olds. Great family activity (bonus- that wore them out), in a welcoming space, with a sense of community . Will definitely be back soon.

When for Father's Day with my family and when we came staff just sitting around and there were not a lot of putt putt Gulf clubs. We were have lots of till one of the workers cam to us and asked us to leave due to not having enough clubs.we were in the he middle and we paid over $50 not fa

We love this place. What a great place to come with kids or without kids. They have seven batting cages. They have skateboard and scooter area for riding. They have putt putt golf. They have a golf range. You can spend a long time here having quite a bit of fun. For the staff. The gentleman at the front desk was amazing. Very friendly and very helpful. We will definitely be coming back.

Mini golf was great! Mostly shaded and stroller friendly are major bonuses. There are no stairs and the cinder blocks are lower at the start and end of each hole. Cute and fun course!

Both the door and website state they are open until 9pm. We arrived at 8:25pm wanting to use the batting cages. The doors were locked. A young woman with curly short redish hair and glasses came to the door. We were then told they hault all sales at 8:15pm (allegedly) a full 45 minutes before they even close. We asked desperately for only 5 minutes on the batting cages for our son and were denied, we even offered to pay more. We asked to come in and talk to the manager and the kid stuttered that she "is the manager, or acting manager right now." The time that she wasted telling us no, we could have already been done. We said exactly that to her, she did not care. She turned down easy money for the business, a manager wouldn't do this. This was just a bad worker who closed early and didn't want to get in trouble. After we told her this was unprofessional and we walked away, she called her friends to come pick her up, 20 minutes before the business was supposed to even close. Clearly this person just wanted to close down early and go home. She was incredibly rude and didn't care. Customers that were leaving and heard what happened told us she does this all the time.

Decent skate park ! No bikes allowed, skateboards, skates and scooters allowed. The place was not very crowded. The concrete is mostly smooth and in good condition. Nice inclines and a half bowl with a little swell in the middle. A 7/10 skate. The Putt putt course is fun. The landscaping is done well and the waterfall feature is delightful.

some friends and i came here to play puttputt and the tall guy at the front desk with dark curly hair was so so nice and helpful! course was pretty good too. a great time!

The mini golf is very affordable and fun. It's great for a date or family night.

While it was closed when we stopped, we were still able to walk the grounds and visit the gift shop. The staff at the gift shop were most helpful and shared some great stories. While I don't get to Ohio often, I hope to make it back when I can tour the house.

Unfortunately it was closed when we got there. It seems to be not open most of the time. You can park and walk around the house and read some literature they left out. It was an honor to stand where this brave man once stood.

So happy to see the John Brown home. One of the few aspects of American History to be proud of.

John Brown's house was an integral house along the underground railroad in Ohio. It was well restored however I think they could have had a little bit more information posted. The underground railroad exhibit at the Bedford Historical Society is much better.

If there is not an event already going on, you will need to arrange your own tour with the historical society stone house across the street to see the inside.

History of Akron

Become inspired by the rich history of Ohio's battle against slavery and for human rights.

With a lot of malls rotting away and full of dead shops- this one is really nice. Doesn’t have tons of dead space, is clean, and the local police take care of that place like it’s their child. Safe and a good selection.

There are malls that are simply a consolidation of stores and then there are malls that have perfectly curated the selection of stores, dining options, and activities as to provide patrons with a premium shopping experience, sadly this is NOT the latter. This mall is a shell of its former self much like many malls across America, it is not surprising that this is the last mall standing in the Akron metropolitan area. It is eerily reminiscant of the others that were past their prime. This is not a mall to go to kill time and you will not particularly enjoy yourself but it serves as a viable option to pickup items placed online.

This is a beautiful and huge shopping mall with several stores, department stores, specialty shops and restaurants. It is sparkling clean and has both Macys and Dillards. There are also several areas to sit down and rest in the mall, if you should need to or want to. This mall is located right on Rt18, very close to a lot of other shopping plazas too.

Lots of sales for July 4th weekend! We had a purpose, but found great deals. Glad to see it was busy as malls seem to be fading. Glad to still have one left close by, within 25 min. Highly recommend.

We come to Summit Mall pretty frequently, as they are one of the closest malls to us and have an Apple Store. This mall is never overcrowded and is always clean. They have in mall security and great parking. Restrooms have always been clean and they so have family family rooms with changing areas for babies. They also have a play area for small children in the middle of the malls shopping area. Great food court with delicious food selections!!

Very clean and typical mall. Safe and secure for sure as we saw security and police presence on a Tuesday afternoon. Wasn't crowded, thank God because I have wild 2 year old running around.  A few store locations were empty, a couple food locations were closed or empty. Obviously still affected due to covid closures last year. I was looking for a sporting goods store to get a gym bag and didn't quite find what I was looking for. Would have also loved to take Kyle to a kid's store, but that wasn't there either. We didn't get lunch there either because we didn't quite like the options. We basically just killed an hour or so walking around and playing on the soft play structures. Very nice mall and I hope it recovers to fill all locations.

Summit Mall is a nice place to shop or just walk around. It’s big, clean, and has a lot of clothing stores and good spots for food and drinks. Always something to check out here.

The drinks are fantastic here. Very well balanced. There is no convenient parking for this place due to its proximity to luigi's. But if you can find street parking, it is worth stopping. It is very small inside space is limited and it becomes quite loud. But the drinks make up for it there is a good variety everyone will find something. I highly recommend the whisky sour.

This place is truly a gem! Wide variety of cocktails to suit anyone, all expertly crafted. Travis B, was our main bartender and he was so attentive and professional, even as the evening got busy. Definitely my new favorite bar! Thanks again for a great evening

Stopped in after a tattoo appointment for some quick bevs. Got the Painkilla, an Old Fashioned, a Carrot Cake Martini, and a Jallisco Dole Whip. I thought we were going to have to order up at the bar, but a server came to the couch we were sitting. The drinks were very good, hand crafted, and we couldn't taste the booze in them. The decor was very classy and pulling the Cracker Jack box to get in through the news stand was great. It was also great getting to watch people struggle to get in through the CCTV feed. haha

This speakeasy is a hidden gem 💎. If you're looking for something different for date night this is it. The drinks are amazing and the staff are super friendly!

Excellent vibe. Good local artist acts. Great drinks selection.

Love the entrance door from the Marriott hotel. The old fashion was one of the best drinks I have had and the priciest too. The atmosphere was great. It's not a very large place, so seating is hard to find. We ended up getting several drinks and took them to our room.

This place checks all the boxes of a speakeasy. Loved the vibe and their drinks. I liked how this place is so cozy and gives you the perfect atmosphere to get drunk...haha. Music is not too loud so it is easy to have a conversation too. I liked how they have table seating as well and they come up to you to take your order and serve your drinks. Another good thing is you can get any drink made non alcoholic and they are happy to do that. Would definitely go back here again and try their flatbreads.

Springfield Bog is a wonderful park. It is beautiful throughout the year but I particularly love Fall with the abundance of native wildflowers and pollinators! The trail is easy to hike with benches along the way to rest and enjoy the views.

Very pretty with all the wildflowers. Easy trail overall. Was not muddy at all. No bugs. Beautiful wildlife.

It’s beautiful, you won’t believe you are still in Springfield. The trail is relatively flat I believe people with disabilities should have no trouble walking it, the pond in the middle of the prairie is a good photo opportunity and worth the effort. This trail is a loop and is pretty short so it’s great for a quick evening walk just be warned there are no lights at all.

It was 82 when we went. So freaking hot, didn't eat picnic i brought. No rain for month, bog looked like straw. No bugs, barely any birds, fake or real. Would definitely go back on nicer day tho. Easy walking trail. Benches. Wear sun screen cause bogs dont have trees.

Love hiking @ the Springfield Bog with my dog!! Beautiful scenery!

The trail is flat with almost no shade but the goldenrod and other flowers are beautiful in late summer.

During the summer & fall this spot is gorgeous because of the wildflowers & wild life. There's no shade so if it's sunny out wear Sunscreen or whatever else you use to protect yourself. Great spot for a photographer! The loop is just under 2 miles & the terrain is uneven so wear hiking shoes for an easier time. Restrooms are clean & don't smell inside despite the smell outside.

If you are into psychology old to new, then you will love this place! It's interactive as well. It was such a wonderful place and only open since 2018! Pavlov, Skinner, Stanford prison experiment, and so much more.

Is a place everyone should visit. One whole day was not enough to see everything. The most magical place I have visited

Although it's near the University of Akron, you don't have to be a student of psychology to visit this museum. It is a very interesting place for even the slightest curiosities of how the mind works and how much influence affects us. It's not a huge place, but not small at all. They have a number of interactive activities which were fun and enlightening. Personally I don't think its for young people under 16.

This museum is small, but it is mighty rich with content. The depth of information and the subtle amount of interactive displays makes this unassuming museum a true gem. Also, do yourself a favor. Take the elevator to the 4th floor and after admiring the art collection, take some time to view the amazing post card collection. There's even an extra special post card that they may let you see and read.

Modest but wonderfully presented collection of historical artifacts, first hand source material, and summaries of history on psychology from the 1800s sanatorium movement, through the 1900s organization of the discipline, the early use of psychology for industry, advertising, and WWII airmen. It also has an interesting section on how the collection and museum was founded and grew though early contributors. And, there are online archives for the museum and University. Upstairs are miscellaneous cultural collections: +Native American history, including the Battle of Wabash through the 1900s relations with the US +300,000 postcard collection! +Asian art from a philanthropist family +exhibit on art therapy

Very interesting and interactive! The museum entrance fee was very reasonable ($10). The exhibits have thorough information and the psychology experiments are quite interesting to learn about. The museum offers numerous interactive mental or physical acuity tests. I definitely recommend a visit!

This Museum touches on a lot of classic research in psychology and is eye opening, especially in comparison with modern culture. It has a lot of fun interactive exhibits and I hope it helps foster compassion and understanding for people with mental illness.

Really relaxed brewery with a delicious menu. Tacos on Taco Tuesday/Thursday are delicious and the s'mores cheesecake was massive and wonderful. Bartenders appear to also be the chefs so be patient if they're busy - it's worth it. There's also a Wednesday night trivia night. Looking forward to coming back during the summer events.

A nice brew pub located in downtown Akron. I was surprised they were not crowded on a Friday night. They have a nice selection of brews on tap. The bar staff was friendly. The night we were there, they had the bar area open to the outside. You can choose inside or outside seating. You are next to a busy street, so you will get traffic noise. The seating area is clean and it is a nice place to enjoy a drink with friends.

Used to be one of oir favorite and 'go to' spots before they closed about a year ago. Now with the reopening where they allegedly 'have the same beer'...um...maybe the same names for the beer but definitely not the same beer. So sad.

Decided to stop in when visiting the local comic book shop down the street. Excellent selection of in-house beers and nicely crafted cocktails if you're not into beer. Sampled food from the Sunday brunch menu and had the best French Toast I've ever had! Will definitely be going back as they are opening a biergarden soon!

Sunday Brunch at a Brewery?? Akronym hit it out of the park. You can tell they care and take pride in what they put out there. Having a very small corner, a brunch menu has to be challenging and very easy to put out less good food. That is not the case. The chef took pride in what he put on the plate. Taste, presentation, value, and everything else about the meal was perfect. Everyone at the table said the same, tasty and perfect. While the brunch menu is small, you can find something for most people. Not only was the meal wonderful, so were our drinks. The guys behind the bar were extremely helpful and friendly. Giving suggestions, answering questions and helping everyone get what they liked. The drink menu was not just beer, they have wine and spirits as well. Something is there for anyone.

Great food, big burgers for the kids. Pumpkin beer is delicious! But what will bring me back when we are in the area is the hospitality. Setting up the two big kids at the TV with cartoons helped a lot while I was trying to eat and take care of the baby. Probably the most relaxed meal I have had in months.

Really cool spot! I took and friend here from LA and she loved it! The beers were amazing and you have to check out the beer garden. They also have live music on the weekends!!!

Friendly staff and well kept facilities. Thank you for doing this! Whenever I visit OH I look forward to riding the Towpath!

The Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail runs right by here as well.. Another very beautiful spot to walk through.But also it has public bathroom in this area.

Great preservation of a historical site and reference the economic progress made by advancing infrastructure. Hats off to the preservation society who led this effort

We attended a wedding here. Nice location near downtown Akron. It was surprisingly quiet and somewhat private. Other than when the train went by. The store was very nice as well. There is a nice water feature in the old lock here as well.

Cool museum. One of the best places to walk. Has a nice gradual incline. Perfect mix between nature and city views. Walk far enough to see the bridge of women from around Akron. Go off trail to walk around downtown and have a drink. Nice walk to Locks 3 and 4. Short walk to the Civic. Ample parking.

Very nice little Museum and you can get snack and water. The caretaker was very informative about the canal

The Duck Derby event was as enjoyable as ever. All ages were there which makes the event fun. The weather cooperated. It's old fashion fun for the whole family. I always see friends there.

It's a plaza. At least they have stop signs and other signage so it seems decent to navigate through.

Very nice shopping center with multiple stores located throughout. Very ample parking

So many places to eat and shop , try out the steak and shake with new Beef Tallow fries

Update: Back for another visit and I love all the stores that have been added as well. I'm glad to see the plaza is still here and has been updated nicely with great plants and greenery.

A nice, clean store. People were friendly

signs and Printing shop inside of The plaza , edge in wood !! Marble , custom shirts ! Embroidery! VEHÍCULOS , vehicle graphics, banners ! Business cards !! laser engraving!! And many more !!

Everything is spectacular, you can find all ofert y very good sales. All options for shopping, for eat, for fun.

Great place to watch baseball. Really not a "bad" seat in the stadium. Family friendly, great date night, reasonable ticket prices. There are lots of games and fun entertainment throughout the game. Fireworks after the game are a fun bonus.

Came here for 4th of July and was pretty much sold out. First time here, not a bad seat in the house. If you want a seat in the shade, you want to be on the third base side. Plenty of food options to choose from.

Always a good time going there. Canal Park is a great place to watch baseball. They have a new pa announcer and in stadium person that seem really good. They even have times you can go on the field.

Went to my first Ducks game and had a blast! Friendly people, good prices and a wonderful experience.

Great time at the Rubber Ducks game tonight. Marianne in the outfield Tiki bar made an otherwise rainy game a blast. I’ll definitely be back to visit her.

Great place to enjoy a baseball game. Great seats to see game. Easy to find parking. Many food and drink options.

Amazing park and family friendly. My son was going to throw out the first pitch, but it got rained out. Yes, disappointed, but excited to reschedule!

My grandkids had a fun time bowling & playing all of the arcade games. We were there at bit too early for the concessions to be opened but they did have a vending machine to get a snack from.

I enjoy coming on a date with my husband and bringing the kids/teens. There is plenty for us to do like bowling, playing pool, and arcade games. They have snacks like pizza, pretzels, and soda. There's also a bar for adult beverages. The place is clean. It wasn't crowded. The manager working the desk was rude but maybe he was having a bad day. The young man working behind the counter and ticket area was friendly. The young lady working concession was friendly. We will be back!!

First time here, from out of town. Spins bowl has a great arcade section and bowling on both sides of the building. Probably the best bowling alley I've been to, very clean also.

Nice arcade for kids and grown kids. Lanes are nice. The gentleman behind the counter was very helpful. Good pizza and wings.

It is a nice place to go to bowl but the arcade portion is going down hill. Me and my family went there today. We wasted over 20 points on machines that were not marks "Out of Order" or unplugged. Two of the arcade machines worked for about 2 seconds then froze up. I wish we had arcade places we could go like when we were kids. It just seems like the more I go there the more the machines are down or they are not working. The machines that have rolls of tokens in them are rigged worse then they use to be. If your going there to bowl then it's a blast. Any arcade gamers going to have fun will more then likely be let down.

We go to this bowling place for fun and haven't been bored yet. It's clean and well maintained, and the staff is friendly. Bowling and renting shoes are reasonably priced. My only advice would be to watch out for the unattended minors who can get violent with each other if they are not in the view of the front desk. This place also has arcade games which are fun and entertaining, though the last time we were there, half of them didn't work. Definitely try the wings there!

Very nice, clean, organized, bright and colorful bowling alley. I went last week. It was $30.00 for all you can bowl in a hour. We did 2 games so it came out to $15.00 a game plus $8.00 shoe rental. We will be back.

Long, narrow fairways. Sloping hills. Protected greens. Deep bunkers.

Absolutely beautiful golf courses. Really enjoyed the day on Fazio course

Beautiful courses within close proximity to each other. Maintenance and agronomy staff keep it in exceptional shape.

Great experience watching senior PGA

Great golf course and food. For the money a little disappointed that the tee times were stacked on top of eachother. We had groups stacking up behind us and in front of us. Seemed like a long jam at points.

Really enjoyed attending this year's senior tournament. Picked a different group everyday and walked 18 holes with them. Eating in the air conditioned club house every day was also nice. Great course for watching a tournament. Parking lot nearby with a pass or a grass lot around the corner with a shuttle bus.

The south course was outstanding. Thick rough, picturesque holes with beautiful trees Green putted true. Staff was friendly and helpful. Had a great caddy. Food and drinks very good. The villas a great place for a group to stay with a game room and balcony over looking the monster #16 on the South. Blimp flew over as a bonus.

Nice scenic train ride! We rode in the silver Broncos which had the dome. Even with it being 81 degree day it was cool inside. There was a gift shop and snacks you could purchase.

The train is cool and you can see that the volunteers really go for it but all in all this was a bit of a disappointment. During the summer season you go through a green tunnel so there is not much to see. Some windows on the train were fogged up and others not that clear anymore. It can get pretty boring for the kids too. The info on the website is also not straightforward and difficult to navigate.

Very fun. I recommend getting tickets for the cigar lounge, it's an open air car, the view is better. If you booked the 3.5 hr trip take something to do.

Fun ride with local color commentary by the Trainmen. I wish there had been more color in the fall foliage (10/4/25). Different experiences will be had depending on where your seats are, because every historical car is different.

I paid 25$ for all day riding. I had an amazing day on the train. My one note is to make sure to tell someone which stop your getting off at or, there may not be a way to get off the train.

We rode the open car. 4 hours was a bit too long for me, but it was a good time. You can do a shorter ride. They have a small selection of adult beverages and see decent food. Overall had a great time.

The train requires a little bit of refurbishment. Once you get over the smell of the mold inside of it, it's not so bad. But there's not a lot to see.

Awesome view. Super relaxing. The river was really moving after the storm - made everything feel extra green and alive. Look off to the right and you can see birds nesting in the valley wall. Kinda wild.

Very nice smaller metro park. The Overlook is beautiful with a nice observation deck you can access by way of a paved loop trail. It connects to the Oxbow area by way of well kept natural trails which branch off from the paved trail. There are stairs if you take this route or an option to take the winding natural trail down a sloped hill following a blue trail marker. The paved trail is nice when you want a shorter walk or when it's rained and you don't want to get you or your dog muddy. This park like most in this area is very popular and always busy. As a reminder that I Can't stress enough...please adhere to Ohio's leash laws when walking your dog. Yes we know you think your dogs the friendliest pup around. However you never know how another dog's going to react to a strange dog running up on it. Or if a child or adult is afraid of dogs and doesn't want a forced interaction. I have to keep saying this as I've encountered this issue multiple times in the past few weeks here and other parks in the area. So please use some common sense and be a decent human!!

Nice little trail! The total distance for the paved trail is .5 miles. The overlook is a very nice touch to the place with it overlooking the river. Went on a really good day, with the snow melting so the river was flowing and clouds actually showing the sky!

Breathtaking spot to overlook the river and Cuyahoga valley, just outside the park on the way east to Pittsburgh. Great little boardwalk trail from the parking lot that loops around and is probably 0.5 miles in totality. Everyone should stop here if they are in Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Super beautiful. The overlook was awesome. Only downfall is that it is small so you almost have to take turns and feel rushed when you do get out on it. Trails well maintained

Love this trail! It's not very long, so it's my go-to if I just want to take a short walk or run 😎

Half mile paved trail. Pretty flat the entire way. The overlook is very nice and scenic. Restrooms available. It does connect to other trails if you would like a longer hike.

trail hard to find, it was okay sketchy areas along the trail homeless ecampents, it was enough to make my hubby be scared and we went the other way, a pet peeve of mine is no bathroom, how are you going ot have trails and not one bathroom the whole way? until you get towards the end of it? really? who decides there should be no bathrooms? i had to use the subway. not ery nice when your not going to eat just use the bathroom. they can do better than tha without our money. finally got to a bathroom and did not have to use the woods. to many of these trails the bathrooms were removed, why? people sue these trails all year no? there were alot of houses the trail bumps up against as well.

Doesn't feel like the safest of trails. There are people creeping through the woods on the trail and around the parking lot, and random ATV's driving down the trail and through paths in the woods. Lots of trash in spots. Would not recommend visiting here.

Although most of the trail is paved and heavily used, most of the time you can go hours without seeing anyone. Although some people focus on the trash, the trail is also full of natural beauty. If everyone did as I do, pick up a little trash every time I go to the trail, it would not be long before the trail was much cleaner.

This particular trailhead was in a rougher area than we usually walk. It was evidenced by hobo graffiti and markers on the RR bridges along the trail to the north. The scrap yard next to the trail had holes in the fence with homeless encampments everywhere. Beware and be careful.

I have parked and rode from the Arlington Trailhead to Kent five times. Never again. It’s remote and in a sketchy area with no cameras. I have often had to dodge people sprawled out on the path while riding. Yesterday my catalytic converters (plural) were removed when I returned. There are way better places to park and ride/hike in Akron.

Some of the areas close to the trailhead and alongside the trail are trashy and need cleaned up. There needs to be a bathroom there too with more police and park ranger oversight.

Outside of the homeless camps at the downtown Akron side of this trail,its amazing!definately a good ride for cyclelists,and a quiet walk for people looking for solitude,it is not a good place too find refreshment right off the trail,in Akron.but has breathtaking views in multiplespots.
