Ok, it's winter.. you're all sitting inside and eating. Do you REALLY want to put on 10 more pounds or do you want to get out and move!!!?
If you're tired of being stuck inside, winter, spring, summer and fall... it's time to hit Family First. Memberships are available but not necessary to enjoy a day of fun and family togetherness.
The Park offers tons of things to do from indoor courts, party rooms, go karts, soccer fields, you name it and you can find the place to do it here! This is a great place to throw a kids birthday party too! You can let them go nuts, get out all that pent up energy that normally will drive you nuts at home and sit back and enjoy the thrills.
Every year it keeps growing too! Come grow with them... instead of growing bigger in that easy chair!!!!!!

The SeaWolves are the AA farm team of the Detroit Tigers, but they are part of Erie. It's affoardable family fun, and its players who can make it to the maor leagues. But people need to support it or else Erie will lose the team.

If you get a chance to go to Splash Lagoon -- go! It has many slides, great food and just a relaxing atmosphere. It is so much fun. I highly recommend it for families, but my husband and I have also gone by ourselves for a few hours. Don't miss it! They have a large children's area where the water is only a few inches high which is great for the little ones. It's just a great experience that your children will love, especially in the winter months to break the monotony.

If you ever get a chance to see a performance at the Erie Playhouse, take it. It will be one of the best experiences you will have. It was so much fun for the kids. We adults also enjoyed it. There isn't a bad seat in the house. It is a memory my child will never forget and it makes it worth it! It's local talent and it's great to see kids on stage that are from the area and putting themselves out there for fun and learning.

If you go to Buddha's, you are not going to get your tat done by some Hindu god, but you will get a work of art on your body. They also offer body piercing on almost every place you can think of on your body. They have designs or you can bring your own. They sterilize, but always make sure you double check things before you make this permanent choice.

More
Say what you'd like, the Erie Zoo is a step above the rest and when you compare it to others in larger cities, it ranks as well if not in some areas better. They are constantly trying to keep the Zoo up to date. New animals slowly come in one by one (not quite Ark like in 2 by 2's but they're trying!) and new babies are being born often. New birth at a zoo means one thing, the zoo is doing things right. This also helps to purchase or trade for other animals to other zoos.
The Erie Zoo has a much smaller area to work with then the other surrounding, larger zoos but yet it still maintains nearly as many animals. What I love most is that you don't walk for miles, like some zoos, and see nothing. Every step there is something to view.
The new Asian area is wonderful. Not only does it contain many wonderful animals in the exhibit, including a baby orangutan, but it also makes the walk through interesting for kids with hands on, push button questions and answers areas.
During the summer hours a wonderful old train ride can be taken for very little cost. Travel through parts of the zoo in style as you get a tour of the new children's area and a special section saved just for the train riders. A carousel ride is always a must for kids young and old. The indoor exhibits offer more to look at on rainy, colder days than on sunny warm ones when many of the animals are let out to their outdoor pens. You can always enjoy the beautiful and oldest female gorilla in captivity, Samantha. While Sam may seem bored at times, she's far from it. She watches tv back in her private area, plays with visiting mice, and believe it or not watches the visitors as intently as they watch her. She's wonderful.
Membership is a must for anyone visiting, not only because you can access the Erie Zoo free once the membership is purchased but many others throughout the US and Canada.

This is a wonderful atmosphere to take the kids to for fun. The Children's ExpERIEnce Museum is not only nicely priced for a family but I highly recommend getting the family membership if you think you might even go one more time. I guarantee, if you leave it up to the kids you'll be going more often!
They have great science exhibits that are hands on. Geared towards children ranging from about 3 or 4 up to at least 10, kids of all ages will enjoy the various projects, learning about science in a fun way. My kids loved the bubble exhibit when they were small and of course the dress up area where you can pretend to be anything you want. Wegman's Market provides a wonderful and realistic grocery shopping experience for both kids and adults to participate in. Tons of fun for hours.
The Erie Art Museum is very hit and miss though. While it can often boast some great works of art and entertainment, there are often long periods of nothingness when they're setting up for the next exhibit. A few exhibits are there all the time, such as the very life like miniature city and the photo/portrait exhibit of local Erieites to remember from various eras. They do have a 'free' day when you can give a donation for the visit and I highly recommend calling ahead to see if they have exhibits running before you go.

There are snack bars conviently located in different sections of the theater so you don't have to travel to the main one during a movie. There are also plently of rest rooms and an arcade, pizza parlor and coffie bar in the front!
