Anything To Do Up Around Cedar Point?

[Nemmy]

Let's see - 4 days in Cedar Point, August 18-21. The only problem is, I'm not doing anything on the 18th or 21st. Besides go to the water park (fat chance), what's to do up there?

[Real]

Sadly, not much.

 

Unless you want to ride more coasters, from CP Geauga Lake is only an hour away. I make a one hour drive to CP there and back (2 hour total) on Friday nights after work. And thats only for 3-4 hours of play time.

 

You could visit the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame as well in cleveland if you didnt want to go to Geauga or spend the money, though GL is pretty cheap.

You can always go to Cuyahoga Valley NP which I hear is boring(from a guy who lives in Michigan). Yeah, I bet the Cleveland guy will tell you more. Also you can take the 2 hour trip to Fun Spot and find the most strange park next to Nara Dreamland and Williams Grove.

Make sure to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings. That place is kingly.

I just wish there were places to eat open after 10pm in Sandusky .. ran into that during CoasterMania and our Halloween visit last year .. ended up at this ghetto looking pizza place, which was quite good and they had this hot girl working there .. which in turned got me slapped and other strange looks.

Drive to Kennywood... Google Maps puts a one way trip at around 3.25 hours.

I highly recommend the awesome SANDUSKY MALL!!!!

 

If you want a killer flashback to the 1970's or want to feel like you're in some low budget horror movie, go here!!!

For late night eats, I usually stop at the Steak and Shake located next door to the infamous "Dusk till Dawn" Hotel

Go on a cruise in the bay.

 

Catch a ferry to Pelee Island in Canada.

 

Go to the party islands in lake erie- which are more like alcoholic theme parks.

 

Ride Mean Streak which should induce unconsiousness for a couple of hours.

Holy crap there's a Steak 'N Shake up there .. why ddin't we find that last time .. have to remember that for June.

If you are in to a party atmosphere by night and a peaceful island by day take the boat to Put in Bay. It leaves from the waterfront in downtown Sandusky. You can rent a golf cart during the day and ride around the island and then have a dinner/libation in the town square.

You could always go to the all-you-can-eat pizza buffet near the causeway and gorge yourself to the point of nausea.

 

Worked for me.

I went to the mall when I went to CP last fall. I don't count it as a mall but I guess I'm just use to the malls in Atlanta.

[disneygurlz2s]

Put in Bay and the other islands up there are a big deal, and there are two resorts now (one is CPs and the other is called Bear Lodge or Wolf Lodge or Moose Lodge... some woodsy creature) that have indoor water parks. I should think that during the season that most of the restaurants along the main roads into Cedar Point should be open late.

Last two trips to CP were in September and October .. so maybe that's why nothing was open, plus we don't eat at McDonalds, scary considering it was across the street from us at Breaker's Express ... one night we ended up eating at the gas station down the street where you turn onto Cleveland Rd.

Cleveland guy here:

Stuff to do in Cleveland:

MetroParks Z00, Cleveland Museum of Art, Rock & Roll hall of fame (never been there...) about a billion places to eat and shop.

Natural History Museum. Inventure Place: Akron.

Someone told me there is a COSI near Toledo, but i'm not sure.

I'm drawing a blank on other things to do here but i'll add more over time.

If you need any directions to places in Cleveland, let me know and I'll have them for you.
