The center highlights ship wrecks in Lake Erie, history, animal ecosystem, art and nature play. They also have a kids play area. Don't forget to climb the tower to oversee several stories above. The volunteers here were great. We learned about rocks in the area. Plus she gave us the hint about the volunteer boat tours.

Thanks to Tom Ridge for your enthusiasm and dedication to environmental education! Thanks to Erie for making this vision come alive! The location is perfect for exploring more of the local scenery, too! If nature is only part of your interest - it's really close to Waldemere amusement park. Unlike Six Flags or the sorts, you can purchase rides one by one and avoid the expensive all-day pass style park system. If camping, fishing, volleyball, or swimming float your boat - check out the shore along Lake Erie on Presque Isle (just keep driving a bit past TREC) and spend the day on the beach!

You have Waldameer Amusement Park, Peninsula with Beaches, downtown with restaurant, shopping, 2 water parks, custard stands everywhere and a Max and Erma's. What more do you need? Hotels everywhere and a chocolate called sponge candy. Get a bag of Smith hotdogs to take home - Erie thing- and enjoy your visit.

For the past 2 weeks he has stated that there have been repeated sightings of bedbugs and the students are finding them on themselves and furniture. I have left a message for Perseus and am waiting for a call back. No notes or calls have been made to parents to notify of the infestation. He has not seen an exterminator, so I do not know if one has been contracted. I have called the health department and filed a complaint but Perseus is deceiving parents by covering up the issue!!! Disgusting.
