The HOF was great. There’s plenty of staff to direct you around, great exhibits and displays. Everything flowed smoothly and things were nicely explained. Great to see the busts of the enshrined and the uniforms of so many great players. Close parking was a plus too. The Joe Namath interactive movie in the locker room with Coach Halas and Coach Lombardi was just awesome and really well made.

I went there last week with my friend. So much to see other than the cars. Very friendly staff, especially Char, she is so friendly and very knowledgeable about her cars,and Canton's history. She could truly write a book, and should.

Went to see 1917 after finding out that they were showing the film. What a great place to see a movie! First you get entertained by one of the few remaining Kilgen organs and the only one in it's original setting! Great to hear some of the music it creates. Movie was great and seeing it on a HUGE screen with a great sound system was a treat, Nice surroundings, not crowded, reasonably priced and had all of the amenities of any theater without the inflated costs!

The first Friday of every month is a great time to explore the arts district. There are live bands, street food, and vendors. The little shops in the area are fantastic. Come see the murals that local artists paint on the buildings that tell a story of the area.

What an amazing gem of a museum! Covid friendly, very spaced out art space that has plenty of moving, special exhibits, as well as an extensive collection of world class art. Well worth a stop, and you'll need about 2 hours. Go and enjoy this beautiful space!

This is a really cool place. The monument seems to be a popular place for locals to exercise with all the steps. We were the only people there to actually visit the final resting place of the former US President
