15 Best Things To Do in Akron, Ohio

Ohio is often overlooked when travelers look for picturesque destinations, but you’d be sorry to miss Akron and its ski resorts. Back in the day, the city was a farming hub and led the industry. But over time, the community embraced modernism, making the city more open to other activities, such as fine dining, live music events, and ski resorts.

Moreover, the Kent State University Museum is a must-visit for people who love multidisciplinary arts, such as textiles, paintings, glassware, and furniture. The Akron Art Museum is another place to explore the region’s contemporary art exhibits in seven galleries.

The city’s music scene, popularized by Blue Jazz and Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom Music Center, is also not to be missed, especially if you’re a fan of Led Zeppelin and Mozart.
