Outdoors
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
The only national park in Ohio starts at the edge of town. Brandywine Falls, the Ledges, and the Towpath Trail running the length of the valley.
Things To Do
The Best of Akron
From Stan Hywet to the Cuyahoga Valley, Akron puts a national park and a real arts scene inside a city you can afford.
Landmark
Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens
The Seiberling estate, sixty five rooms of Tudor Revival on seventy acres, and the best thing to do in Akron on any afternoon of the year.
Culture
Akron Art Museum
A serious collection in a building worth the trip on its own, downtown and walkable from the hotels and the university.
Music
Blossom Music Center
The Cleveland Orchestra's summer home, up in Cuyahoga Falls. Lawn seats, a summer evening, and a world class orchestra outdoors.
Outdoors
The Towpath Trail
The old Ohio and Erie Canal towpath, now eighty seven miles of crushed limestone running from downtown Akron north toward the lake.
Sports
Canal Park
The RubberDucks downtown, Cleveland's Double-A club, in a ballpark you can walk to from dinner. April through September.
