Take your kids here to learn about Presque Isle. Only problem, lots of cars in the lot and hardly anyone in the building.

There is some interesting information and history about the evolution of Presque Isle and the history of Lake Erie. The viewing tower (which was easy to walk up -- about 220 steps) is too low to really see Presque Isle or the lake well. Good education location for school groups.

This was our first time visit to Presque Isle State Park. At the entrance you will find easily this Center. We were greeted by Jim, a swell fella with alot of information in 30 seconds or less.

Three adults and two children under the age of 5 covered most of the museum in under an hour.......great info if you have time to read it all, but kids under the age of 5 aren't interested. They could have spent the whole time in the kids area with blocks, puppets, puzzles, etc. We might have watched a movie had... More
