Before moving to the Akron, Ohio area, I’d heard about one of its suburbs, Cuyahoga Falls. I assumed it was this tiny place. Because, honestly, it just sounds like a tiny little peaceful place. But it isn’t tiny by any means! But it is peaceful and has so many wonderful things to do and see!
If you’re following along with my “Explore Ohio” series, you’ll know that we briefly considered moving elsewhere like Upstate New York and even have looked at real estate in Dayton, OH; but I’m so happy that we are raising our children here in beautiful Cuyahoga Falls!

HiHo Brewing Company. Two former teachers took a leap of faith and started a brewery in their hometown from the ground up. I fell in love with HiHo the first time I walked in. The huge space is super inviting for people of all ages — there are board games, couches, and a tasty selection of food. Also? Beer, obviously. A delicious rotation of craft beers, brewed on-site.









Metropolis Popcorn. Located on the pedestrian-only portion of Front Street, Metropolis Popcorn offers 50-flavors of Ohio-grown popped-corn! Some traditional flavors, some crazy-pants flavors, but all delicious!

We love taking the kids to the Akron Zoo! Hopefully we’ll get to the children’s museum soon.
Do you have a zoo membership!?!
Obviously I lovelovelove CF – home sweet! I haven’t been to a few of these new places yet, though. I’ll have to check them out. Some other places I love are the Chowder House, Waterworks, & the Cashmere Cricket, among others. I love that suddenly there’s so much to do & see in my hometown.
Oh, & Krieger’s!
Girl, I wanted to include ALL OF THOSE!! 🙂
Wow, beer, wine, hiking, and all that food. looks divine! My friend, who lives in Ohio now, has a dog named Cayahoga! I guess he is from this area.
Howe Meadow farmers market, Sheraton. Also, randomly MC Hair studio is amazing. Stumbled across them on twitter and make the drive to get my hair done!
LOOOOVE MC Hair! They did my pedi, hair, & bikini wax before Ari was born 😛
I can’t believe that I’m from Ohio but have never been to Cuyahoga Falls. This looks like such an amazing town!
I think it’s time for a blogger date here. 😛 Come visit!
This all looks awesome! That Blue Door Cafe looks awesome and like the exact type of place we would visit on a vacation!
I love Ohio. Lived there all my life until moving to Kentucky. Cuyahoga Falls is beautiful.
This is such a great glimpse into what seems like a neat little town! I love hearing about the unexpected places to get great food and see interesting things that you can’t find anywhere else – and that farm looks so beautiful! Thanks for the tour!
It looks like a beautiful and family friendly place. I think my children would really enjoy the markets and the zoo. 🙂
Hiking the Gorge with my boys and heading to the zoo are our favorites. We also love driving out through Amish Country and just enjoying the country side and sunsets .
It looks like such a fun place to visit. We will have to make plans to stop the next time we drive by!
This looks like an amazing place to visit.
I have never been to Ohio ! this post makes me want to go there.
This looks like my kinda place!! That Blue Door Cafe looks awesome!
My Mother in law is from here! We visited once, and I absolutely loved it!
Ah! Everything looks SO fun! We need to make a trip to Ohio… it’s not too far from Iowa!
Love Hale Farm & Village!! (Sorry if this is a duplicate comment – I tried posting one yesterday but not sure if it went through)!
Blossom Music Center is a favorite of mine – but need to try Sarah’s Winery!
I have never been up this way, but would love to come check it out once baby arrives–sounds like a fun family getaway spot!!
My favorite thing in cuyahoga falls is to sit outside by the water, burntwood tavern has an awesome view!
We love walking the riverfront, visiting the wading pools in the summer, and all of the local parks!
I love shooting pictures of the Falls followed by adult beverages as several of the places listed and then Uber home! I’ve not been to the Burntwood there yet. I do have pictures of it when it was burnt wood and waiting to be built though!
Wow! Looks like an amazing place to visit and the food looks so good!
