Downtown Erie PA Attractions

There’s much to see and do in the ‘Flagship City’, Erie, PA and the Springhill Suites Erie is a short six miles from downtown Erie and all the action!

Spend the day exploring the many museums that call Erie home such as the Erie Art Museum or the ExpERIEnce Children’s Museum.  Discover wildlife at the Erie Zoo and Botanical Gardens or pack a picnic and explore Presque Isle State Park; golf enthusiasts will find many area golf courses available for a great game. Enjoy top-notch entertainment such as the Blue Man Group at the Erie Civic Center; listen to the harmonic sounds of the Erie Philharmonic as they mesmerize you with outstanding performances.

Sports fans won’t be disappointed as Erie is home to arena footballs’ Erie Freeze, the fast-paced ice hockey team, Erie Otters and the AA baseball team, Erie Seawolves.  Race action can be found at Lake Erie Speedway and you can get hands on at Family First Sports Park where you participate in soccer, basketball and more.  The Family Fun Center is a big hit offering activities such as bumper boats, putt-putt golf and go-kart racing. 

When the sun goes down, Erie nightlife begins.  Laugh the night away at Jr’s Last Laugh Comedy Club; enjoy traditional Irish camaraderie at Molly Brannigan’s; or put on your dancing shoes and dance to the beat on the super-sized dance floor and five dance platforms featured at Metropolitan Dance Club.  Of course, a great way to end the day is with a delicious meal at a great Erie dining establishment.  Try Arnone’s for authentic Italian cuisine or Celebrities Restaurant where the costumed wait staff deliver show-stopping dishes like Garbo’s Grilled Chicken Salad or Rooney’s Open Faced Prime Rib.

The list of the things to do in Erie is endless and won’t fit on this page.  We’ve provided a link below to the official website for the Erie Visitor’s Bureau to help you get started on your Erie adventure!
