We’ve always loved this city anytime we’ve gone. My boys love how family-friendly the activities were which meant that we were able to do a ton of fun things together as a family. I highly recommend visiting as many children museums as possible as they offer really great exhibits and a ton of educational material as well. 

Tom Ridge Environmental Center

Tom Ridge Environmental Center is great for families. If the tower is open, go up to see some pretty cool panoramic views. There is also a fun gift shop there for the family to explore and find cute souvenirs from the trip.

Erie Zoo

With over 400 animals to see located on 15 acres, you’re not going to want to miss the sights at the Erie Zoo. This zoo also has a beautiful greenhouse area and a ton of gorgeous plants to see as well.

Erie Maritime Museum

The Erie Maritime Museum opened its doors in 1998 and has been drawing in visitors ever since.  Located on the water in downtown Erie, it’s really a fun place to visit.

Located on Peninsula Drive, Presque Isle State Park is one stop that you just can’t miss. The views are stunning and there always seems to be something going on.
