I have never been to Erie - but Pennsylvania is one of my favorite places. I think you need to be more specific - what are you looking for?? Museums, history, scenery......

Active family with Two adults and 3 teens.

I don%26#39;t know anything about the area of Erie. To break up trip thought we would stop off along the way. Actvities, ball games, museums, must see one of a kind sights, special foods, etc. All ideas appreciated.

The Erie Maritime Museum and US Brig Niagara are definitely worth a visit. http://www.brigniagara.org/

We also enjoyed the Erie Zoo. http://www.eriezoo.org/

If you enjoy nature centers, visit Asbury Woods. http://www.asburywoods.org/about_us.html

Finally, a visit to Presque Isle State Park is a must as well. http://www.presqueisle.org/

Enjoy your visit.

Family First Sports Park has putt putt, batting cages, go karts, etc. Mostly outdoors so best if the weather is nice. There is an indoor putt putt course and driving range.

Also we have a hockey team which is playing now. Erie Otters. We do have an Art Museum, small historical museum and planetarium. When will you be here? There may be special fall type festivals going on - Peak-n-Peak ski resort has a fall fest in Oct. as well as many other small town celebrations.

Any other interests?

What can I say? Presque Isle, Presque Isle, Presque Isle!!!!

It may be too cold to swim in Lake Erie in October, but visit this little spit of land just for the surf - huge (for the Great Lakes) waves roiling, crashing and pounding the shorline. It%26#39;s damn dangerous surf - in the summer there are lifeguards EVERYWHERE and very specific places where you may swim, as the undertow is FIERCE! - but it%26#39;s a beautiful spot, and if you like flat skipping rocks, this is THE place to be.
