Day 1 - Embrace the Wonder of the Lake City

Kick off your Erie journey by blending in with the locals at the Erie farmer’s market that seizes the city every morning. Next, submerge yourself in the marine wonders at the Presque Isle Bay, a sensory explosion of water sports and beach fun! Forgot your picnic gear? No worries, local food trucks can fill you up. So, you ready for an afternoon thrill? Head to the famous Waldameer Park & Water World, a classic amusement park with an entry fee that will make your wallet smile. Finish your day with a tranquil stroll at the Presque Isle State Park, bringing a perfect curtain-down with its stunning sunset vistas.

Day 2 - Dive deeper into the charm of Erie

Clear your pipes for a melodious start to your day at the Erie Art Museum. Expect wonders from various exhibits and art classes that could unlock your hidden talents. Ever experienced 18th-century warfare? The Fort LeBoeuf Museum offers just that. The reconstructed fort, now a museum, brings history to life! After the history hop, it's time to take the grape escape at Mazza Vineyards. Sip your way through different wine varieties, and don’t forget to take a bottle with your favorite label home. How about ending the night under the dome of the Yahn Planetarium, gazing at the glittering stars?

Day 3 - Final day of coastal discoveries

Feel like fishing? Then Lake Erie is the spot for you. Hire a charter boat and go after your dream catch. If fish doesn't lure you, lace up your hiking boots for some serious walk-and-talk with nature at the Asbury Woods. Lunch with a view? Nothing can beat the waterfront dining at Smuggler’s Wharf. Enjoy the freshly caught seafood while overlooking the bay. Save some energy for the grand finale! The Sunset Concert Series at Presque Isle State Park where local bands perform free concerts. The perfect place to bid adieu to Erie, don’t you think?
