I think it was fun enough for a stop while on the way to or back from an east coast trip.

It's not some life altering event.

Canton allows Clevelanders to feel civic pride.

There's a running joke with my in-laws that my father in law lost my mother in law there on their honeymoon...stopped on their way driving to Florida...took him like 3 hours to find her. 50 years later and she still won't let him forget it.

Cooperstown was somewhat of a disappointment.

Never been to Canton.

I've been back multiple times. It's fun if you want to geek out on football and the Bears have some prominence throughout. They were renovating last time I was there so I think they now have an on site hotel. If you want a summer weekend vacation you can go to Cleveland for a baseball game and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Canton and Sandusky for the amusement park.

I'd like to go. I may go for Drew Brees if he gets into the HOF.

Should be fine, unless they put all 30 of Rivers' kids in with him...

yeah sounds like summer might be a better time to go. was looking for something to do with my son for a few days over his spring break. of course my daughter has a completely diffrent spring break so we can't do anything as a family

I have been there twice and it is definitely worth it. If you have some extra time the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame is only about 30-45 mins away in Cleveland.

I think I'll wait until summer when we can go to an Indians game.

They play during spring break so either would work.

Bring a football. They have a turf half field in front and its fun to throw around a little.
