Visited the haunted forrest hay ride and haunted house at Escape Medina and we had a blast. We took…read moremy kids and my daughter's boyfriend with us and when we bought tickets the sales lady suggested we get the speed pass since it was a busy night and the lines were long. I asked her if it was worth it and she said, "I think so". I wasn't sure, but for only $10 more per person, we went ahead and bought fast passes. On a non-busy night, I wouldn't suggest that, but on this night, it was totally worth it. The construction of the buildings throughout the place was very well done. Top notch in terms of build quality - they spared no expense, even of the places out in the woods. They were built to last. The wait in each line was about 30 minutes long. With the fast pass, we walked straight past the line and there was no waiting at all. That was a total win and my family was very appreciative of the additional investment. We were in and out of the place in just over an hour. Otherwise, it would've been closer to three hours. First, we rode the hay ride, which included actors chasing you and telling gruesome stories along with animatronics. People were screaming and trying to hide from the monsters, but there is nowhere to go on a hay ride. Chainsaws. Lots of chainsaws. Next, we walked the haunted trail, which was pretty cool. Then we visited the haunted house. It was very cool. The actors pay much more attention to people who are act scared, so there's a pro tip for you. Don't act scared and they won't bother you. Afterwards, we munched on some chili cheese fries and regular french fries while sitting around the warm bonfire. They were pretty tasty. I definitely recommend this place if you haven't visited before.

I've been here twice recently: once for trick or treat with my son and once for a holiday open…read morehouse specifically for members of a couple other historical sites in Akron. Both times were interesting and I learned a lot at the open house. The trick or treat was more fast-paced, so not a lot of time to ask questions about the history, but the open house was very relaxed and I had lots of great conversations with the docents. This house is very haunted, especially by Martha in the upstairs bedroom in the back of the house. I also walked over to the John Brown house. I had never been there. I am still confused about who exactly John Brown was. He was loved and hated; he was revered and despised. That house is much smaller than the Perkins house, but it is open to the public and there is some interesting history there too. They were also housing an art exhibit featuring barns of Ohio. (See my photo with this). My son's favorite part of our October visit to Perkins was the sheep grazing on the lawn outside with the beautiful autumn colors in the background. I learned the other day that they are "borrowed" for the summer and autumn, and then go to warmer pastures in the summer.

I recently attended Wicked: For Good at the Canton Palace Theatre in Canton, Ohio, and…read moreunfortunately the experience was overshadowed by a situation that should never have been allowed to continue. Throughout nearly the entire movie, two girls (roughly between 9-13 years old) were loudly giggling and talking. At one point, someone from the theatre came in, told them to quiet down, and then left. The noise immediately resumed and continued for the rest of the film. This alone made it extremely difficult to enjoy what should have been a great movie experience. When the movie ended, the same two girls ran up and down the aisles screaming. I later learned they were either the children of, or under the supervision of, a theatre employee -- specifically the same person who briefly told them to be quiet earlier. They were also seated in a rear section where patrons are apparently not even allowed to sit. There were very few people in the theatre, which made the lack of enforcement and professionalism even more noticeable. If this is typical of how screenings are handled, it raises serious concerns about management and customer experience. I believe the audience deserved better intervention during the film, and frankly, an apology or compensation would be appropriate given how disruptive the situation was. The Canton Palace Theatre is a beautiful venue with a lot of potential, which makes this experience all the more disappointing. I hope management takes this kind of situation seriously moving forward so guests can actually enjoy the movies they pay to see.

The playhouse itself is comfortable and welcoming, and there's something so good about supporting local theater. Even though it was a bit of a drive for us, we're already keeping an eye out for another production from them. If you're thinking about going, please do!

It was a really well-done event and I thoroughly enjoyed this venue. The polar vortex made me a little dizzy- that was the ONLY part that was not enjoyable for me, but everything else was on point. The boozy hot chocolate (try the peppermint or the peanut butter!) and the singing reindeer were my favorite things there. There are many photo ops and lots of really creative and gorgeous displays. Santa Claus has his own photo area and the Grinch was roaming freely when I was there. I didn't try the snowball fight or the virtual reality sleigh ride, but those sounded fun too. The bar areas were intricately designed and I really loved the theming. Give this place a shot- the pricing seems pretty reasonable for as much as you get. I can't wait to come back with my son!
