A LITTLE EXPLORING. A LOT TO ENJOY.
Football history, local art, local dining, and a little fresh air. Use The Oasis of Massillon as your home base for a weekend that mixes exploring with time together.
MAKE A DAY OF IT
Choose one main outing, then leave a little room in the day to discover something else.
Explore the people and moments that shaped professional football. A natural centerpiece for a football-focused visit to Canton.
Planning tip: Check ticket options and the museum schedule before you go. Allow time to explore rather than squeezing it between other plans.
Browse art and local history at MassMu, including the Paul Brown Museum. Pair it with coffee or lunch downtown for an outing that keeps you in Massillon.
Planning tip: Look at the current exhibitions and events calendar before choosing your day.
Combine local history with Discover World and the Hoover-Price Planetarium. A useful option when your group has a mix of interests.
Planning tip: Planetarium shows have their own schedule. Check the day’s visitor information before planning around a show.
Plan a visit around a home game at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium to experience Massillon’s football tradition.
Planning tip: Use the current schedule to confirm the opponent, venue, and game date. Check ticket and entry details in advance.
A LITTLE FRESH AIR
For a quieter outing, trade a packed itinerary for a walk, a picnic, or time beside the water.
Enjoy trails and lake scenery, with the Exploration Gateway offering another place to start your visit. An easy choice for a nature-focused afternoon.
Planning tip: The park has several entrances. Choose your destination first, then use the park map to select the right entrance.
Walk or cycle a section of the historic canal route. Start from a convenient trailhead and turn back whenever your group is ready.
