Pretty awesome park when it comes to parks as the space is here to basically do whatever you want…read moreas it's seriously huge enough that many can enjoy it and not feel crowded! We came here with a group to hangout and enjoy some of what's one of the warmer nights here recently this was my first time coming here and I was surprised how big it was so much so I didn't even venture through all of it as there's a bunch of places to go here. They have 2 playgrounds from what I can see as well as some huge open grass areas for you to play some games on as well as run free to do whatever you like. There were also numerous covered areas for those group picnics everyone wants to have when it warms up a bit which is always awesome in its own fun way of summer living when it's that easy! The park was awesome in it's own way it's for that I'm sure I'll come back again at some point because who doesn't love a good park visit!

Osborn Park is part of who I am. I grew up here. I spent summers at the pool. Walked around the…read moretrails. Watched high school soccer games (though it was perhaps more about watching the running boys). Went to school picnics here. My mom still volunteers here. Osborn Park is a Sandusky/ Erie County staple. Last summer, my high school class held a 15 year reunion and the first place I suggested for a family picnic was Osborn Park. Shelter rental is really easy----and available online. The website shows availability for a month for all shelters, afternoon or evening slots. Prices remain unbelievably affordable---$33 for county residents, $43 for out-of-county (more for the enclosed shelter). It's nearly effortless to set up a picnic. The one drawback is that the fee is non-refundable if you cancel your event, though it might be transferable to another date. Nevertheless, if you are looking for to host a reunion (class or family), graduation party, etc., then I'd recommend Osborn Park. Plenty of seating in shelters, fields for games, courts for basketball or tennis and playgrounds. I can't imagine a Sandusky resident who hasn't been to Osborn Park. It's part of the community.

East Harbor is situated on a peninsula stretching into the waters of Lake Erie…read more The park also lies on the fringe of Ohio's prairie marsh zone. These wetlands are remnants of the Great Black Swamp, which once covered an area 120 miles long and 30-40 miles wide. Nature enthusiasts enjoy viewing an abundance of waterfowl and shorebirds in the park's scenic wetlands, as well as from the swimming beach and picnic areas along the lake. Our family and Apache camper began a series of visits in 1967, and East Harbor has remained a favorite. Greatly enjoyed the beaches, which now have a three-foot stone barrier to prevent erosion. We visit year round. The surrounding area has become somewhat commercialized. Lots of campers and fisher folks. In our early visits, we discussed a holiday at the State Park rather than a trip to the Outer Banks or to Hilton Head... My dear wife observed that an annual Atlantic Ocean Beach holiday was elemental to our life style.

Marblehead Lighthouse State Park is a great spot for a relaxing and scenic visit along Lake Erie…read more We went last weekend and were able to tour the lighthouse, which was definitely worth it. Admission was $5 per person, and kids 5 and under were free. The volunteers were friendly and shared a brief but interesting history of the lighthouse and how it's been used over the years. Once inside, be ready for a bit of a climb as there are 77 narrow spiral steps leading up to an outdoor observation area. The view is worth it to see beautiful sights of Lake Erie. Even if it's not that clear of a day, you can still see Cedar Point and the Lake Erie islands in the distance. The park itself is very well maintained and offers easy access to the shoreline while still feeling safe and family-friendly. It's a peaceful place to sit, relax, and enjoy the lake breeze and sounds. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

It doesn't matter which season you go to visit this lighthouse, it's always amazing to see! Yes,…read moreshe isn't super glamorous and the gift shop could be bigger. However, they have added some nice bathrooms and more picnic tables. The giftshop and ability to climb up to the top of the tower is open seasonal. Check before you go if this is important to you. We like to stop at one of the 2 ice cream places close by and take a treat with us to sit and relax. It's a great place to people watch! I have witnessed quite a few wedding pictures being taken there over the years.

The walk-through area was a nice bonus too. Definitely one of those places where you leave thinking, "yeah, that was worth it." Would 100% go again.

There were so many animals that we got to see and feed! We didn't get to see the giraffes because it was still quite cold outside, so they need to stay in the warm. After the drive thru they had a really cool walk through part with load of other animals. We got to feed a turtle, goats, coy and even birds! They had tons of feeding experiences and lots of other animal to see. It was a really fun time and great for the kiddo. We will definitely be back!
