1. The Nightlight Cinema

5.0 based on 26 reviews
Reviewed By RSM123123 - Plano, United States
Wonderful movie house showing independent, classic and foreign films and you don't have to drive to Cleveland (thinking of you, Cedar Lee and CIA Cinematheque). It is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit movie theater. About 50 seats. Bar serving beer and alcohol and snacks. Screen size and sound are good. Reasonable ticket prices, and you can buy online (buying online in advance might be a good idea for popular movies). Note that High Street in Akron is a one way street. Street parking or use the parking garage just down the street.

We attended a glass blowing class and made two ornaments that could be used on a Christmas tree or displayed all year round. There were lots of colors to choose from. Our instructors, Sebastian and Nate were awesome! They gave good instruction and ensured everyone was safe and made beautiful keepsakes. Well worth the cost of the class!
