When planning a visit to Northeast Ohio, don't forget the greater Akron area. Located just 45 minutes south of Cleveland in the beautiful and aptly-named Summit County, Akron has plenty of easy-access attractions for travelers and families.
If you're flying into the area, choose the Akron-Canton Airport rather than the Cleveland Airport. There's no easier airport for meeting loved ones, with parking literally steps from the concourse, and fares the lowest on average of all Ohio airports. From the airport, it's just a ten minute drive to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. When your sweet tooth starts calling, take a tour of Harry London Chocolate Factory, which shares the same exit as the airport. The company has been creating fine confections for over 80 years.
Akron was known as the Rubber Capital of the World for decades, and is still home to the Goodyear Blimp. History buffs will want to visit Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens and Hale Farm & Village. The mansion at Stan Hywet was the early 1900s home of Goodyear Tire's co-founder. Hale Farm is a living museum, where visitors step back in time and interact with costumed re-enactors as they go about the day of area settlers from the 1800s.
Kids in tow? The Akron Zoo is home to over 700 animals on 50 acres, making it not too big, but just big enough to enjoy a peaceful, educational day reaching out to nature and its beings. One of only 221 accredited conservation zoos, The Akron Zoo strives to save endangered animals. A day at the ballpark is a breeze at Canal Park, the downtown home of Minor League Professional Baseball's Akron Aeros. The steel-framed, state-of-the-art facility boasts the largest free-standing scoreboard in the minor league.
Your artistic streak will find inspiration at Blossom Music Center or the Akron Art Museum. Blossom offers concerts with both pavilion and lawn seating, where music lovers in the thousands can enjoy the most popular national music acts while nestled within 800 acres of The Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The Akron Art Museum displays mostly contemporary art in an architectural artwork of a building. The structure spans three centuries; an awe-inspiring, modern glass and steel structure is fused over Akron's 1899 brick post office.
Whether you're looking for renowned tourist attractions or some charm on a road less traveled, you'll find something to treasure during your visit to Akron.
