Moving to Akron, OH

Akron was once one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States due to four major tire companies headquartered there. For this reason, in the early part of the 20th century the city of Akron was dubbed the "Rubber Capital of the World." Today, Akron is known for polymer research, with over 400+ polymer-related companies located in the area. It is also home to the Ohio Ballet, the Akron Symphony Orchestra, and the Akron Aeros, the Cleveland Indians AA minor league baseball team. Another fun fact: The Black Keys, a Grammy Award-winning blues-rock duo, is from Akron, Ohio!

2. Akron Zoo

The Akron Zoo is a perfect locale for a family fun day. The zoo focuses on animal care, conservation education, sustainability, and providing a fun experience for families and friends. Besides animals, the zoo has native plants, beautiful gardens, a carousel, and a train ride!

This 70-acres estate features a historic 65-room Tudor Manor House and the recently restored Gate Lodge, the birthplace of Alcoholics Anonymous. There are several tour options, including the Grand Estate, the Nooks & Crannies, and the Guided Manor House.

4. Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad

All My Sons loves the Cuyahoga Valley locomotives. The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad is a non-profit organization committed to preserving and renovating historical railcars. There are many activities when riding the train. You and your loved one can sign up for the Ales on Rails, where passengers enjoy beer samples and light appetizers; book the Murder Mystery Train Ride for a fun interactive night of suspects and detectives; or the organization offers other fun train-related activities.

5. Summit Metro Parks

Summit Metro Parks was founded in 1921 and is composed of 16 parks. The parks have over 14,000 acres of beautiful wildlife with 150 miles of trail. They also host various activities such as biking, archery, camping, fishing, and more!

6. Hale Farm & Village

The Western Reserve Historical Society has preserved this beautiful retreat. The farm hosts 34 historical structures catering to learning experiences such as preservation workshops, historic daily life experiences, and professional development sessions.

7. Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail

The Towpath Trail is an 87-mile path where you can walk, watch birds, bike, hike, run, ride horseback, or take a canal boat ride. There are key visitor centers that offer cultural, historical, natural, and recreational resources being preserved along the trail.

8. Gorge Metro Park

One of our Cleveland residential movers' favorite legendary areas, Gorge Metro Park, is notorious for the prominent rock shelter known as Mary Campbell Cave. According to local legend, a ten-year-old named Mary Campbell was captured by the Lenape tribe and believed to have been brought to this cave. Because the historical record is unclear, the park calls this "Old Maid's Kitchen," referring to it being empty as kitchens of single women were once thought to be.

9. Akron Children's Museum

Another family pick from our movers in Akron, Ohio, is the Akron Children's Museum. For the reasonable price of $10 per child, the museum offers 18 interactive learning experiences. For example, in the Farm to Table exhibit, children can pick apples, gather eggs, and then sell their products at the pretend Farmer's Market.

10. Lock 4

Lock 4 is a part of downtown Akron with beautiful waterfalls that run along the historic brick facades. It provides great picture-taking opportunities and has plenty of nearby restaurants.
