The fifth-largest city in Ohio, Akron is a beautiful city with a lot to offer. It is particularly known for its Tudor Revival architecture, and top cultural attractions such as the Akron Symphony Architecture and Ohio Ballet. We are also big fans of its topography, boasting over 6,000 acres of green space and a 25-mile park trail system for bikers and hikers to explore.
Not to mention, Akron is the birthplace of Lebron James, one of the best basketball players ever to live and a future first-ballot Hall of Famer.
Some of Akron’s most popular attractions include the Stan Hywet Halls & Gardens, Akron Zoo, and the Hale Farm and Village.
