Winter can get downright nasty in Pennsylvania with brutal cold and unforgiving snow. When the warm weather rolls around, most of us want to spend as much time as possible outdoors. If you’re not sure where to go, you’ll likely find that Erie is the best city in Pennsylvania to visit during the warmer months. It’s jam-packed with things to do – from sandy beaches to an epic water park.
Summertime naturally means trips to the beach to soak up the sun and cool off. Presque Isle State Park in Erie is arguably the best beach destination in Pennsylvania.
If you crave some of the fast-paced thrills of summer, spend a day at Waldameer Park and Water World. Get a bird's-eye view of the park on the Ferris Wheel, or feel your stomach plunge on one of the coasters.
When you're ready to cool off, head to the water park. Whether you feel like relaxing on the lazy river or want to ride the waves at the wave pool, you'll find the perfect way to stay cool.
If you love animals, carve out time for a visit to Erie Zoo. The zoo's also home to beautiful gardens, so you definitely don't want to forget your camera.
The warm weather provides an idyllic backdrop for exploring all the beauty Erie has to offer. Slip on your hiking boots when you visit Asbury Woods Nature Center.
A single day not enough? Erie's brimming with unique accommodations. You can even camp right on the beach at Sara's Campground for a one-of-a-kind warm weather experience.
