    This place is amazing! Beautifully decorated in period furniture, etc. Our guide, Jeff, could not have been better. He knew everything about the place and the people who had lived here.

    We visited the zoo last week. It was nice, but kind of small. I assume their peak season is summer, most food locations were closed as were certain other things.
    We didn't see many animals. They seemed to have good hiding places.

    This was our first time to this theater and it is gorgeous! Parking is close and convenient with only a two minute walk for most. We attended the Zach Williams concert and the sound and atmosphere was amazing! One suggestion for taller people or people who need to be able to stretch their legs, get a front row in your section because seating is extremely tight. Dress in layers because it gets extremely warm as the theater fills with people. We are going back in June gor The Little Mermaid and already secured our front row seats up top! Can’t wait. If you’re looking for a good and more upscale dinner before a show give Crave a try! We plan to go back for dinner after the next show. Delicious!

    I’ve been to many minor league baseball stadiums, and this is a nice one. From the outside the brick reminded me of Camden Yard. AA baseball, so it’s a high quality game. They have a nice score board with some video replay in right center field. They don’t do a ton of the in between inning on field games with patrons, but honestly that’s often overplayed at the minor league games. It’s your typical ballpark food that’s available, but there are a few healthier options. There’s a chicken pineapple bowl that’s literally half a pineapple hollowed out with the meal inside — have never seen that and was happy to see healthier options available. Beyond right field, there’s a large slide, a dunk tank, and some other games for young kids. They have many promotions and give aways, so check the schedule. Parking directly across from the stadium is $10, but if you’re willing to walk a bit, you can find some free or cheaper parking. It’s not a great place for autograph seekers. The players don’t have to walk off the field to get to their respective clubhouses, so unless you catch them before or after the game near the dugout, getting an autograph is unlikely. Most seats will be in the sun (or rain) so dress accordingly.

    This is a well kept park. There are nice walking trails, garden areas, a little pond, butterfly garden, camp fire areas, scenic places to sit and enjoy the views, and images cut into the concrete walkways to educate about the wildlife in the area.

    Very cool and interesting museum about all things psychology and human behavior. Self guided and has a plethora of things to see, learn AND do believe it or not. This is one of those places that'll make you think (pun intended).
    Handicap accessible, and you'll need about 2 hours.

    Modern space providing an open, airy feel for art. Not a stuffy museum for sure. Many events are also hosted here and on the courtyard. Nice staff as well

    The tasteful grave has several signs to show how to get there. I took time to photo some coins and thank Bob for his contribution to humanity.

    My grandfather is buried in this cemetery so we go there to walk around on occasion. It's not somethng as a traveler that I would not go out of my way to see. After all, it is a cemetery! But some people like this sort of thing so it might be interesting to you and it is free.

    This house is amazing and ornate. The staff are the most friendly people, you can tell they like volunteering there. The tour is great, you learn some Akron history, and it’s located on campus so it’s great for something to do that doesn’t take a tank of gas. Cons: they do not allow pictures and it’s not very wheelchair friendly. Stan Hywett, another great Akron historical house, is great, but this house is just as cool and right downtown!
