    I was not a fan. I was there this past weekend and my wife and I went through the butterfly house…read more And they were almost all the same type of butterfly and there were not more than 50 or 60 butterflies that I could see. I would think a butterfly house would be full of butterflies to the point of them constantly in the air.

    So many butterflies!…read more This was an option on our Perry's cave pass so we decided to give it a try. I have been in butterfly houses before but this one was definitely one of the best. You walk through the gift shop and the entrance to the butterfly house is in the back. It is a large greenhouse so on the day we went it was 95 degrees inside the building. About 5 to 10 degrees hotter than outside. Because of this we were only able to stay inside for 10 or 15 minutes because it was very hot. Upon entering there is a window that shows the butterfly hatching area. After that a greeter will fill you in on the rules of the butterfly house. After that you are welcome to walk around and explore the garden area. They have lots of plants to cater to butterflies and several water features. If you stand still the butterflies will land on you. Several benches are available to sit and enjoy the area. They also give you a great poster to identify the butterflies in the building. Not all of them are on the list but the greeter was very helpful and provided names for those we did not know. Great experience for any animal or nature lover!

    After a late lunch at the Tin Goose diner, came over to this very nice aviation+ museum. First,…read more you can tell by the ladies working the front desk - admission, you're in a great place, when you comment you don't have your readers with you and it'll be difficult to read the information at the exhibits. Without missing a beat, Valerie offers her pair. Her only request is that I return them when I leave. . So very kind of her. We pay the admission, and begin the tour. There was a lot to see and I would definitely give yourself at least 90 minutes to see both areas. There is a hangar also to see the bigger planes. There were many nice tributes, and we got a kick out of the Hogan's Heroes memorabilia. The vintage cars were a bonus. I can't wait to tell my dad he needs to take a drive here just for the classic cars! I think one of the first cars he drove was the '57 bel aire convertible. The yellow one here is in pristine condition. Also loved the vintage Bob's Big Boy side of window drive up sign. Classic! The attention to detail and restoration is truly a labor of love for many of the items here. In the hangar, there were quite a few volunteers. They were busy getting things ready for Father's Day weekend! The ford two motor plane will be taking passengers for a nostalgic ride. This museum is an amazing tribute to the put in bay, Lake Erie aviators. There is also war memorabilia! The investment that continues in this amazing museum and the diner attached is remarkable. I'll be telling my aviation, car enthusiast friends and people looking for something neat to do to come by, enjoy and donate to help these pieces of history to continue to be available for generations to come! Great way to spend a few hours! Highly recommend this Gem! PS, I did return the glasses after I left. I also bought a cute onesie for my granddaughter !

    Another small (well, mid-sized) museum that knocks it out of the park…read more Great staff. Well displayed artifacts with lots of information, interactive stuff for kids, boats out back, models everywhere. Covers natural science, local history, shipping in general, and more. Kid K loved it, especially the scavenger hunt. I loved the stories and artifacts. Small gift shop with quality options. Definitely will be back when in town.

    I appreciate that Ken, one of the older members of the museum, clearly demonstrates his passion and…read morededication to the subject matter. When we arrived we were the first two there for the day, and he got up and expressed his appreciation that we came in and was eager to give us a tour around the facility. He previously worked on boats in the area during his career, so he knows his stuff! We started off watching the fifteen minute video that told us about the various important aspects of Lake Erie and Sandusky as a port, such as ice harvesting, fishing, sand dredging, and coal shipping. Then Ken showed us the boats in their collection, explaining the differences between the construction of each, followed by an entire room of outboard motors of various makes and horsepower! Then we returned to the main showroom to look at the exhibits. I especially liked the map that showed the channels throughout the years, the miniature model of the train-to-ship coal shipping station, and the depth charts of each Great Lake. You're sure to find something that interests you and learn something! They're also doing a solid job of putting in exhibits to interest children, such as building a small model boat, playing giant Battleship, learning to tie knots, and steering a boat around a projected screen of Lake Erie. A new exhibit is being added soon so kids can aim a canon at a screen and pretend to sink ships in the distance like in 1813! The restrooms are crisp and clean. The gift shop is somewhat small/limited, but I found a couple postcards to purchase. The volunteers help with the gift shop and admissions and are friendly.
