If you haven't been to a game- get there. The chance to watch players who might one day soon become Major league players is a great way to spend an evening. The seats are way closer to the field, stadium is more intimate, pricing is way more affordable and the overall fan experience just cannot be beat. I've gone to many major league games where they don't come close to as much fun as the Rubberdm ducks do. The ticket prices are very reasonable, they offer numerous promotions throughout the season, fireworks on weekends and parking us generally very simple. If you go, you have to get the street corn- look for it behind section 119/120. Kids can sign up yo get a pass for autographs before the game- at guest services and passes are limited. Be ready for lots of foul balls too. read more

Absolutely love going to an Akron Rubberducks game. The park is in a great location in downtown Akron. One of my favorites things is seeing Akron Children's Hospital overseeing the ball park. I can only imagine how much it brightens a child's day to look out their hospital room window to see the inside of the ball park. There was a 2026 Extreme Foods article written about food at Akron Rubberducks ball park. My family and I decided to try a couple. The pictures here show The Italian Sausage Dugout from the Bier Garten. For $22 you get the Italian Sausage Dugout (sausage, peppers, onions, marinara, and mozzarella cheese) and a souvenior cup with pop. I was excited and looking forward to this all day, but it was a let down. It wasn't hot in the inside and the French bread tasted like it came out of the freezer. A couple of my other family members got the TeriAkron bowl from the Pineapple Under the C and won't be getting it again. It wasn't as flavorful as one would expect. Overall, a great experience watching the Rubberducks win! read more

The Akron Rubber Ducks are a Minor League Baseball team. I visited in July 2019. I had a good experience here to help a friend's vendor's business so I didn't get to fully watch the game. I can tell that alot of locals enjoy coming here to enjoy a day out. Food and drinks are available for purchase. If you enjoy sports and love watching live games, then be sure to buy some tickets and come on down with your friends. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 28/365 total reviews in 2025 - 809 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 16 January 2025 read more

Great ballpark! Parking can be tricky. Love the view since the park is on the smaller side so a great view wherever you sit. They have a lot of activities to keep the crowd entertained and the players put on a great game. There is parking right across from the field but it fills up quick. After driving around the block a couple times you can find parking garages and other areas that are easily within walking distance. read more

Great place to watch a game. Parking and facilities are great with no bad seat in the park. If you are looking for a game and something to do this would be on my list for you. Also great fireworks on Friday and Saturday nights read more

Opening day 2023 was a great night in Akron, and felt like the start of spring & summer fun despite the cool temperatures. The Thirsty Thursday beers were a good value and worth the wait in line. It was good to see a young crowd enjoying the home team prior to the end of spring semester. We were excited to try some of the new food options, and the brisket was delicious. Sadly the poutine had run out. Fireworks topped off the night. read more

Second game I've seen of the ducks. 1 last year second this year. Out of towner now, went with in laws who r fans. A beautiful summer night for baseball. Concessions like most ball parks are over priced. Second year in a row went to buy some food (4th inning) and just like last year they were OUT OF EVERYTHING again? How does this happen? Lack of foresight...Friday night and a large crowd and no food at concessions stands. Finally settled for a box of popcorn. Asking the lady what do you have? Plenty of overpriced beer and whiskey. Selling liquor and beer like they r a 5 star restaurant prices...$33 for a mixed drink and a large beer. Can't buy a lousy $5 hot dog because they don't stock enough. I can only imagine management is to CHEAP because they may have to throw out a few at games end. Give them away after the game. Miss out on selling 1000 of something because u may have to toss a few is bad business and short sighted IMO. Lousy game besides left after 7 innings. Ducks down 9-0 with four errors and just bad baseball! read more

Affordable family event. Today was the MS Awareness day. They support local charities. They had local little league teams walk around the field. They looked so little but oh so tall and proud!! If you have any special dietary needs see guest services as they have a flyer showing who has what. read more

Akron Rubber Ducks - Beautiful day at Akron Rubber Ducks Game - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Akron, Ohio

This management team does a great job To keep the fans entertained. Had a great time at the game and sat home plate right behind home plate. They get local businesses involved and that's a win Win. It happened to be bark in the park night to bring your dog and they had bowls set out so your dog could cool himself with some water. I would suggest they look at their merchandise store. Way too overpriced for minor league items. Had a great giant burger from stand. I did though have the worst $2 hotdog ever. Whatever brand they are should be banned. read more

There is not a bad seat in the house at Canal Park. Small, intimate ball park and decent concessions. Every Thursday is $1 Yuengling draft night. Perfect! There was also midget wrestling (not even making that up) and the parking was very easy. Now as for the talent of the team, that, unfortunately, leaves a lot to be desired. The pitcher allowed home runs by the New Hampshire Water-Cats in the first three innings. Eeeesh. Rubber Ducks lost by a landslide, but with AA ball, I am willing to cut them a little slack for the sloppy plays. Either way, it's a cool place to catch a game. Very inexpensive (although I had actually won the tickets) and very clean ball park. There were even fireworks after the game, but we bounced at the bottom of the 7th. It was becoming excruitiating at that point, and we had seen enough to fill our desire for some good minor league baseball. The only critique I have of the ballpark itself is that the acoustics are not that great- the sound system is somewhat garbled. This ballpark was built when I was in undergrad and I can't believe it's been here for 20 years now. I remember the construction happening when they were striving to make downtown Akron a great place. (I think they succeeded, for the record.) The fan base remains loyal, even when the Ruber Ducks at-bats resulted in zero runs. (To be fair, they did score a few runs, but they just couldn't keep up with New Hampshire). A great urban ballpark in downtown Akron, after all is said and done. read more

Akron Rubber Ducks - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Went for my first time to a minor league park and was so very impressed. Every seat seems to get you an up close and personal view of the field. Also, the park is on the smaller side so you are close to everything you need, aka bathrooms, drinks and concessions. It seemed like they were constantly doing on field giveaways which kept the crowd entertained between innings, We were lucky to be there on a fireworks night and they were fantastic. The fireworks were themed Earth, Wind and FireWORKS...hahaha. Of course, there was some great throwback music that brought back memories. I suggest you take little ones here to try out baseball games prior to going to a MLB park. The prices are great and they will not be bored. read more

Akron Rubber Ducks - Pineapple TeriyAKRON Bowl - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Why 5 stars? Because this is one of the nicest parks in all of MiLB! --- --- --- While I haven't been to a ton of Minor League parks, I'm confident that they don't get much better than this. And the prices certainly don't get any better. We sat in the 2nd row behind home plate, close enough to see the nose hairs of the players, and it cost us less than a hot dog and a beer would cost at a MLB stadium. With the Indians having a couple of big-time prospects at Akron during our visit (Brad Zimmer and Clint Frazier) I was very excited to see them play while I was in Ohio. Neither guy played very well during this particular game, but it was still a really neat experience. There was a lot to see and do outside the stadium as well, which made our whole experience of driving down to Akron was memorable. There was some kind of market right outside the stadium happening before the game, and an outdoor concert going on at the park next to the stadium after the game. Who knew Akron had so much going on in one area? Definitely a great way to spend a Saturday night! read more

We lived in Akron for 20 years. We love it when it was the Aeros still love it as the ducks, although we were with a group and we were seated at not so great "tables" I still went with 5 stars. Because of there commitment to the community. Our group had the buffet hamburgs, hot dogs, BBQ chicken. Mac and cheese, salad and a cookie. Food not so great. We ate, but then went to concussions. The offering for the regular seats concussions offered were awesome!!! Prices were expected. The pro shop pricy but you are paying for tje name. read more

Akron Rubber Ducks - Sitting at the game day bar and resturaunt - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Akron, Ohio

My wife and I love going to games. Things have gotten so much better in the last 3-4 years. It's a great place to visit for all ages. We especially enjoy Bark in the Park nights. Twice a year you can bring your best pooch friends to the game! We also attended the All-Star game and Homerun Derby. They did an excellent job with those. I recommend trying some of their extreme food items. It's so fitting for minor league baseball! Sit out in Tiki Terrace. Best bar in Akron, and the best view. You only need a $5 standing room only ticket to do so! read more

Such a fun activity for a date or for the whole family! My boyfriend and I were able to get seats right behind the opposing team's dugout for a really affordable price. We had a great time walking around the stadium before the game and checking out the fun areas set up by local businesses. We bought some draft beers to enjoy during the game and while they weren't cheap they were much less than at major league sporting events. I kept the glasses from our beers and took them back to get a second round and the woman working at the station was super sweet and gave me a discount for recycling, so definitely bring your glass if you plan on drinking more than one glass. Every staff member was really sweet and helpful and you could tell that they were intent on making the Rubber Ducks game the best experience for everyone! Definitely the perfect place to spend a summer night! read more

I really enjoyed Canal Park and my experience at the Akron Aeros game. For anyone that remembers, this used to be a dilapidated part of downtown Akron with about 30 various vacant lots and blighted buildings. They built this $31M, 9,000, seat stadium in 1997 and have generally kept very good care of it. The team does a lot when not in play to make the experience fun for all. This is a perfect night out for families that don't want to spend $1k at Jacob's Field to watch the MLB Indians. Here in Akron, tickets are easy to come by, $9, they'll book them over the phone and just pick them up at will call. Ticket salesman on the phone suggested parking in the Akron Children's Medical Center lot at 199 Bowery St, to take the bridge over the canal right into the left field entrance. While there was no wait at the entrance, I would avoid this parking lot on a fireworks night as they use the park at the bottom of the garage level as staging area for police, fire and the pyro team. Most of the walkway from the garage to the ballpark were roped off, and they made you walk completely around a medical building to avoid the pyro area after the event to get to your car to leave. They have a crystal clear jumbotron (said to be largest in minor league baseball) with lots of graphics and a few cameras. Don't give your kids high hopes that they'll make it on the jumbotron as it appeared that they only had one roving camera, and the other cameras didn't appear to have very good lenses, or at least the operators never used their lens. I'd also avoid looking at replays as it was the worst sequencing of baseball plays I'd ever seen. So bad that the high home camera tried to go so tight that he'd miss the throw at home and the runner crossing the plate. At one point during the national anthem they even hit the replay wipe instead of a dissolve! The dissolves were super slow too...a true example for TV 101 of what not to do. Our children really loved the inflatable slide in the right field fun zone. $1 per ticket, but our one son landed in a pool of water, getting his sox wet and he refused to wear them the rest of the night. The staff were complaining to each other that they were being inundated with children and that they needed more interns to run the attractions. If that's the case, perhaps they need some paid staff members to do better and supervise the fun zone. The seats were great behind home plate, but the net they use is tough to see through. Suggest you get seats unobstructed by the backstop netting. One of the seats in our group had a pretty significant crack in it. The team did really well, but fans largely are unaware of who these guys are. Perhaps the scoreboard could do a better job at player bios or even videos snippets on where they're from. Then link the Akron players to the MLB team. The Indians have long had a Dominican training facility, but no one would know it at the Aeros games as they don't mention a thing about these kids backgrounds in baseball. If you've had too much to drink or one too many hotdogs, the restroom facilities were remarkably clean, well kept and generally a pleasant experience. My lovely wife described the women's room as immaculate (for a sports stadium). They covered all the basics. Clean stalls, running water, soap filled, and paper towels in the dispensers (something their major league counterparts could learn from). Can't wait to return. Next visit I want to bring 20-friends and try out one of their suites. read more

Fun, family atmosphere! We came here for a birthday party for our friends 7 year old and it was a great afternoon! For the birthday boy, and any other special events going on that day, they let the kids throw out the first pitch! There were about 15 "1st pitches" they say we went. I thought it was great that they do something special like this to recognize the kids on their birthdays. The gift shop is nice and reasonably priced and as fare as food/drinks you can expect the typical ball game fare but at a reduced price than a major league stadium. It was our sons 1st time to Canal Park and they gave him a little certificate and a pin that says "1st visit to Canal Park". Again, very family friendly and fun for all ages! read more

The Akron Rubber Ducks is an extremely cost effective and fun family night out. I highly suggest purchasing the ten-flex which gives you 10 tix for any time. The tickets are $5-8 each and the food is really good. Lots of entertainment between innings for the kids. The parking is also cheap - $5 read more

Akron Rubber Ducks - Best seats in the house! - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Not sure if this is in the right spot but oh well. I just moved my son back to the U of Akron on Sunday and we decided to spend sometime watching the Rubber Ducks. Having been to ball parks and knowing there is always a unique menu. It did not take us long to find the perfect food. I believe the name was Not your Poutine or something like that. Pulled pork, cheese curds, scallions, bacon and french fries were are part of the Poutine monstrousity. My son and I both ate off of the one order of Poutine and it was amazing. We are both over 200lbs and the one order filled us both up. The flavor was awesome and I would eat it everytime I go back to watch a RD game. It cost $12 but it was worth the money!!! If and when you go to a Rubbr Ducks game, eat the Poutine. read more

I had an absolute BLAST at a recent Rubber Ducks game against the Reading Fightin' Phils and, in my opinion, you don't even have to be a fan of baseball to really (and I mean REALLY) enjoy yourself at a game. First of all the stadium, Canal Park, is lovely, clean, and relatively small compared to a major league stadium like Progressive Field. There's a laid back vibe, lots of of good 'junk' food to choose from (hot dogs, ice cream, peanuts, beers), and it's a fun atmosphere for everyone from kids to adults. Our seats were really close to home plate and afforded an awesome view of the field. It's really cool to take in these minor league games and watch some folks play that you might later find on a major league roster (esp. the Cleveland Indians) in the future. In terms of selection of food, there are a few different stands and trailers throughout the park, many of which offer similar options but then have a couple specialty items. Some had longer lines than others, but just wanting a sausage and beer myself I went to the "Godfather" themed stand near our seats for an Italian sausage sandwich (fairly good but no peppers/onions which I suppose should not have surprised me), compulsory hot dog, and a beer. Not exactly cheap by any means but very reasonable 'event' pricing. The games are so fun to watch because pretty much all the seats are good and they have a nice display to keep you up to date on the goings-on if you're people-watching instead of sports-watching. It seemed like between every single inning they had some contest for kids or other entertainment to keep the audience engaged. Don't be like me and forget to bring cash because they have a 50/50 raffle and I wanted to participate so badly - I guess I was feeling lucky from winning the tickets to the game! The absolute best part was after the game as we were totally surprised with the fact that night had a featured fireworks show. (You have to check the site as I don't think they do with every game) And not only were there fireworks but it was a THEMED fireworks show called "Earth, Wind, and Fireworks" to (you guessed it) the music of Earth, Wind and Fire and we were DYING because it was awesome, set to perfect music, and it was such a fun and amazing way to end the evening out! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something fun to do with family or friends! read more

I ran in the relay portion of the Akron Marathon and the post race was at Aeros Stadium... Wow!!! It was beautiful!! I don't really know if it was the GLORIOUS sunny day and that fact I was all hopped up on endorphrens from running 5 miles but I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that race finishers were all camped out on the playing field of this very well appointed facility! Oh btw...All the beautiful people are runners and marathoners because it was CHOCK FULL of freakend gods and goddesses.... I just happened to fit right in.... read more

Wow can the food stands be any slower. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt because once it was super slow at a crowded weekend game but it was a weeknight! Probably fun and cheap if you have kids, but honestly if you're just chilling with friends do something else. Fireworks are not bad if you can deal with the tackiness of the rest of the game. read more

I have loved coming to Canal Park since I was a kid. It's in a great location, it's affordable, and it's an overall good experience. I was at the park to watch the fireworks after the 4th of July game. The staff did a great job of entertaining the guests in between the end of the game and the start of the fireworks. By ballpark standards, the prices of food and drinks seem lower than average to me- but still seems like highway robbery. I paid around $12 for a Diet Coke and nachos with cheese and salsa. I'm a sucker for a deal, and this was no deal. They also have a lot of "theme" days like dog day and $2 hot dog day, so look up the game you are attending and play along! There is plenty to see and do in the immediate surrounding area and ample street and deck parking only a short walk away. Pro tip: get your picture snapped with the new "King James Way" sign right outside of the front gate. Go Cavs!! read more

We're hooked! Canal Park is a slightly smaller version of the big league stadiums situated in Downtown Akron less than 10 minutes from our house. Parking was convenient and inexpensive - $5 and 3 blocks away @ 15 minutes before first pitch. Ticket prices were great - $8/adult for reserved seating. We also saw a good baseball game without the hassle, expense and travel of a Cleveland game. I can see this being a go-to activity for our family on a weekend afternoon! read more

Always a great time for the family. The organization does a great job of keeping it kid friendly, but also an experience for the adults with good food and cold beer. The entertainment is based solely around the kids. You won't find many adult jokes or games appearing on the screen or in the field, but no complaints because they are serving you beer! Outside of the ball field, the have movie nights where the kids can sit in the field, with their family, and watch a movie. Bobblehead nights are most popular and usually feature a cult classic celebrity. Often, they manage to pull the actual person behind the bobble to the park too. Autograph anyone?! Growing up, Akron was known for their 4th of July show in Firestone Park. So, to me, it's no surprise that the fireworks show DOES NOT disappoint. The field is also surrounded by a fantastic selection of food and nestled right next to Lock 3, if you're lucky you'll hear the sweet jams of a cover band on a Friday night. Talk a walk downtown if you aren't ready to go home. A LOT has changed since. It's a great time for all, defiantly a social event. And (knock on wood) as long as everyone playing on the Indians isn't hurt you'll just catch the Aeros, opse -- old habit, the Rubber Ducks in action. BUT IF -- dun, dun, dun -- there is a hiccup with a Tribe member, you'll be sure to catch them doing rehab with the boys on the Duck field. And from what I've seen on social media, they are very friendly and sign. Play ball! read more

Canal Park is like a mini version of Progressive Field. All the sears are great, and very inexpensive. You can park for about $5 anywhere near the park in a number of lots. My kids love to go. The park is very clean. They do a great job between innings entertaining the kids. The food is just typical ball park quality and a bit $$. Unless you are a diehard Major league fan who doesnt care for AA baseball, this is much better value and you can see great baseball with some up and coming talent for a great price and atmosphere. read more

While the park and game are great I have an issue with the concessions. It seems like the only people working those concessions are teenagers who spend more time looking at their telephones than they do waiting on people in line. We were number 14 in line to get hotdogs and noticed seven teenagers standing in the back chatting and looking at their phones. Very pricey food for family prices! read more

The Akron Aeros are a good team to come and watch if you're in greater Akron and want to watch inexpensive sports. Their stadium, Canal Park, is very nice and clean. It's easy to navigate and you can't get a bad seat because of it's size. However, I do have a bone to pick with the team. They're a slow team. I went to a game against Erie, and it took four hours to play! They aren't the best team, but it's minor leagues, so it's no big surprise. At the end of the game I went to, there were fireworks, which were great. They were very unusual, a nice change from the standard fireworks display. Overall, if you have plenty of time and want to watch an inexpensive baseball game, head on out to Canal Park. read more

The Akron Rubber Ducks stadium is located smack-dab in the middle of downtown Akron. The saying, "Affordable Family Fun" doesn't give the park the justice it deserves. The staff at this stadium goes above and beyond to entertain the crowd with fun events. Yes, including midget wrestling. The entire stadium is clean and patrolled by local Akron Police. If you walk around you'll run into mascots, inflatables, giveaways, and your kiddo will get a certificate if it's their first time at the park. The Rubber Ducks merchandise is a little pricey, but still affordable. Your excited child wants that $5 foam finger anyways. Overall, Akron Rubber Ducks games are very affordable and fun for all age groups. If the atmosphere gets the best of you, there's a tiki bar serving adult beverages to calm your nerves. Keep an eye out for Rubber Ducks ticket sales, giveaways, and injured Cleveland Indian players! read more

Came to the stadium today with a BIG group and a bunch of vans/busses, as well as most people who were at the game today. I just wanted to give a big "thank you" to the entire stadium/events staff. Everyone from the people working concessions to people directing busses were so kind and patient and it made everything a whole lot easier! What an awesome experience. read more
