Come by the beautiful Blossom Music Center near the gorgeous Cuyahoga Valley National Park for a memorable performance by the Porthouse Theatre. Operating during the summer, this premier outdoor theater group sets their stage against the beautiful backdrop of nature. Feel free to bring along a picnic when you head to enjoy the entertainment at this pavilion theater.
Don’t have time to leave the city? Escape the urban hustle and bustle at the Seiberling Nature Realm, located in Sand Run Metro Parks. Find peace and tranquility in the great outdoors as you walk the pathway meandering through the trees; learn about the horticulture and wildlife of the Akron area in the Visitors Center; observe the animal activity on a naturalist walk; and much, much more!
You may be surprised by what you find in the Akrona Galleries. This unassuming Tudor home, the historic Ayres Estate, was built in 1916 and has since been transformed into one of the most eclectic galleries. Filled with all types of contemporary artwork, you can find paintings, sculptures, glasswork and other art pieces from throughout these renovated rooms. Certain works from the selection of international, national and locally recognized artists are even for sale!
